Quote Of The Day - Social Justice Edition

"Screw Social Justice"
Sept 2nd, 2011
So says Rush Limbaugh in a rant about the "left" which sounds more like a portrait of his own listeners. His views are as narrow and backward as our opponents have ever been. His level of invective, however, is getting worse.

"Where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where any one class is made to feel that society is an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob and degrade them, neither persons nor property will be safe."

Martin Luther King Jr's Social Justice
Sept. 4th, 2010
Glenn Beck should really shut up.
"At the turn of the century women earned approximately ten cents an hour, and men were fortunate to receive twenty cents an hour. The average work week was sixty to seventy hours. During the thirties, wages were a secondary issue; to have a job at all was the difference between the agony of starvation and a flicker of life. The nation, now so vigorous, reeled and tottered almost to total collapse. The labor movement was the principal force that transformed misery and despair into hope and progress. Out of its bold struggles, economic and social reform gave birth to unemployment insurance, old age pensions, government relief for the destitute, and above all new wage levels that meant not mere survival, but a tolerable life. The captains of industry did not lead this transformation; they resisted it until they were overcome. When in the thirties the wave of union organization crested over our nation, it carried to secure shores not only itself but the whole society." -- Martin Luther King Jr. speaking at the AFL-CIO convention of 1965
