Said about the government

“The president said the government doesn’t spy on us. Whether or not that’s a lie, or we call it a lie, is not that important. The information was wrong. We do know that the government is spying on us.” -- Ron Fournier

“We must 'turn away from' our propensity to see everything in light of 'conservative' or 'liberal' and instead 'turn toward' a regular practice of seeing everything in light of Jesus, as He is revealed in Scripture.” - Joel Rainey

"Government's first duty is to protect people, not run their lives." -- Ronald Reagan

“The ultimate test of a moral society is the kind of world that it leaves to its children.” -- Dietrich Bonhoeffer

"Political language...is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind." -- George Orwell

I don't think we can quote what many people are saying about our government right now! But Thomas Sowell wrote this bit recently:

"If the continued existence of mathematics depended on the ability of the Republicans to defend the proposition that two plus two equals four, it would probably mean the end of mathematics and of all the things that require mathematics...Democrats, by contrast, are all talk. They could sell refrigerators to Eskimos before Republicans could sell them blankets."
