- The '80s were fabulous. The '90s sucked, and the '70s were just a sad, sad time in human history. Go 1980s! There's something that's just so cute about that time. And not just yellow nail polish and 'I'm a loner.'
- Jennifer Sky on History
- The 1st Amendment protects the right to speak, not the right to spend.

- The deliberate and deadly attacks which were carried out yesterday against our country were more than acts of terror. They were acts of war.
- George W. Bush on History
- The Democrats co-opted the credit for the Civil Rights Act of 1964. But if you go back and look at the history, a larger percentage of Republicans voted for that than did Democrats. But a Democrat president signed it, so they co-opted credit for having passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
