I'm simply here to say guns should be owned by responsible people, and there should be high tests and a high bar to prove your responsibility.
Quote by -Bret Stephens
Nearly everyone I know seems to have a well-developed theory as to why this country is past redemption, or almost, and every theory seems almost right.
Quote by -Bret Stephens
In the scale of American blunders - from the Dred Scott decision to the Neutrality Acts of the 1930s to the tragedy of Vietnam - is the Trump presidency really unique?
Quote by -Bret Stephens
Among the events of John McCain's five-and-a-half years of imprisonment and torture in North Vietnam, probably the most heroic, and surely the most celebrated, was his refusal to accept an early release from his captors.
Quote by -Bret Stephens
The American birthright belongs, potentially, to everyone. This is unprecedented. Other countries accept migrants on the basis of economic necessity or as a humanitarian gesture. Only in America is it the direct consequence of our foundational ideals.
Quote by -Bret Stephens
It's easy to deprecate some of the puffery and jingoism that often go with affirmations of 'American greatness.' It's also easy to confuse greatness with perfection, as if evidence of our shortcomings is proof of our mediocrity.
Quote by -Bret Stephens
The American tradition rests on pillars of self-questioning, self-actualization, and disagreement.
Quote by -Bret Stephens
We elected Donald J. Trump to keep us jittery and entertained. He's delivered.
Quote by -Bret Stephens
Countries we love will inevitably do things we don't like or fail to understand. The same goes for people.
Quote by -Bret Stephens
The criterion for racism is either objective or it's meaningless: If liberals get to decide for themselves who is or isn't a racist according to their political lights, conservatives will be within their rights to ignore them.
Quote by -Bret Stephens
Anyone who has been the victim of the social-media furies knows just how distorting and dishonest those furies can be.
Quote by -Bret Stephens
Ignore Trump's tweets. Yes, it's unrealistic. But we would all be better off if the media reported them more rarely, reacted to them less strongly, and treated them with less alarm and more bemusement.
Quote by -Bret Stephens
The people we need to hear from most are the ones who make themselves heard least - except, of course, on Election Day.
Quote by -Bret Stephens
People want leaders. Not ideologues. Not people whose life experiences have been so narrow that they've been able to maintain the purity of their youthful ideals. Not people whose principal contact with political life comes in the form of speeches and sound bites rather than decisions and responsibilities.
Quote by -Bret Stephens
Before the word 'resignation' became a euphemism for being fired, it connoted a sense of public integrity and personal honor.
Quote by -Bret Stephens
No adviser to a president is going to get his way all of the time, but at a minimum, that adviser should be able to defend the tilt of an administration's policy as if it were his own. If not, he should make room for those who can.
Quote by -Bret Stephens
Democrats should have learned in 2016 that what counts in American politics is location, not turnout.
Quote by -Bret Stephens
'Democratic socialism' is awful as a slogan and catastrophic as a policy. And 'social democracy' - a term that better fits the belief of more ordinary liberals who want, say, Medicare for all - is a politically dying force. Democrats who aren't yet sick of all their losing should feel free to embrace them both.
Quote by -Bret Stephens
Generosity is a virtue, but unlimited generosity is a fast route to bankruptcy.
Quote by -Bret Stephens
Humanitarianism is commendable, but not when you're demanding that others share the burdens and expense.
Quote by -Bret Stephens
Down with politics and the art of the possible; up with pronouncements and the allure of the prophetic: It's the way of demagogues everywhere.
Quote by -Bret Stephens
I grew up in Mexico City at a time when the country was a repressive one-party dictatorship almost wholly dependent on oil revenues.
Quote by -Bret Stephens
You're not going to see me ever be partisan. I'll never take a position on a candidate or an issue.
Quote by -Campbell Brown
When you have Candidate A saying the sky is blue, and Candidate B saying it's a cloudy day, I look outside and I see, well, it's a cloudy day. I should be able to tell my viewers, 'Candidate A is wrong, Candidate B is right,' and not have to say, 'Well, you decide.' Then it would be like I'm an idiot.
Quote by -Campbell Brown
I'm a mom, and my view of public education begins and ends with the fundamental question: Is this good for children?
Quote by -Campbell Brown
In a situation where it's the child or the adult, I'm going with the child.
Quote by -Campbell Brown
There's no reason why anyone's job should become untouchable for the rest of their life.
Quote by -Campbell Brown
I'm interested in full disclosure for people who give money to politicians. But I'm not a politician. I'm an advocate.
Quote by -Campbell Brown
My mom was very much the product of a very paternalistic, deep-southern culture, but also a repressed feminist. Her way of being defiant was to raise us to be rebellious ourselves - basically, the opposite of who she had to be in her own life.
Quote by -Campbell Brown
My second-grade teacher went around the class and asked everybody what they were going to be when they grew up. I said, 'I want to travel the world,' and he said, 'You'll be married and pregnant by 21, just like all the girls in this room.'
Quote by -Campbell Brown
Someone once told me I looked good in red, so I bought every piece of clothing in red and bright-red lipstick. I had huge hair, as big as I could tease it and spray it.
Quote by -Campbell Brown
My friends in the TV news business are in a state of despair about Donald Trump, even as their bosses in the boardroom are giddy over what he's doing for their once sagging ratings.
Quote by -Campbell Brown
Trump doesn't force the networks to show his rallies live rather than do real reporting. Nor does he force anyone to accept his phone calls rather than demand that he do a face-to-face interview that would be a greater risk for him.
Quote by -Campbell Brown
It's understood in the newsroom: Air the Trump rallies live and uninterrupted. He may say something crazy; he often does, and it's always great television.
Quote by -Campbell Brown
Experience is a legitimate issue when John McCain raises it about Obama, and it's also legitimate for us to raise it about Palin.
Quote by -Campbell Brown
I was not so interested in night-after-night coverage of Michael Jackson's death or Britney Spears' latest breakdown - topics that were 'breaking news' at the time.
Quote by -Campbell Brown
This must be such a relief for the TV executives managing a business in decline, suffering from a thousand cuts from social media and other new platforms. Trump arrived on the scene as a kind of manna from hell.
Quote by -Campbell Brown
The 800-pound gorillas of TV news are gone. When I was the White House correspondent at NBC, and Tom Brokaw was anchor, the reporters were protected.
Quote by -Campbell Brown
Early on, even before he was the front-runner, TV news was giving Trump far more attention than other candidates and far more than he deserved.
Quote by -Campbell Brown
Any time you challenge a big powerful person or special interest, there's going to be blowback.
Quote by -Campbell Brown
Lester is the Rock of Gibraltar. Nothing can rattle him. I am not. I was always flying off the handle about things. And the one person who could calm me down and make me realize that none of this silliness mattered was Lester Holt.
Quote by -Campbell Brown
People say, 'Are you going to be beating up one side or the other side?' It's everybody. It's the entire education establishment that is in power.
Quote by -Campbell Brown
It comes down to what your priorities are, and if public education is about kids, then every decision we make should be focused on the question of 'Is this good for a child?' And that should be the driving focus and the priority when we decide what our policies should be and what our laws should be.
