“If a person despises me for defending life, filing lawsuits to protect the First Amendment, or deploying abroad to play my own very small part in battling vicious terrorists, then so be it. That’s what some on the Left have done. Some on the new right, however, seem to despise me for not mocking my opponents, not insulting them, and not treating them as less-than-human.” - David French
“As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.” (Proverbs 27:17)
“We live in a strange time when fighting for fundamental liberties while treating other human beings respectfully is seen as a sign of weakness.”
