NPR fired me for telling the truth. The truth is that I worry when I am getting on an airplane and see people dressed in garb that identifies them first and foremost as Muslims.

86
You’ve seen it in the news – the radical left in our country, stinging from their 2016 election losses, has become increasingly desperate and unhinged.

107

161

164
Jazz in the 1920s and ’30s was dance music, teenage music for parties, for being wild and young. There’s this punk feeling I really love. It was something so radical and different and new and not codified. People didn’t have a definition of what they were doing.
165

182
I think that haredi children should study the core subjects and that their parents must work, and I believe that there are many haredim who think like me and would be glad to discover that someone is fighting the radical functionaries and rabbis who embitter their lives.
183
An important consequence of freeing oneself from the fear of death is a radical opening to spirituality of a universal and non-denominational type.
184
In the sixties, for anybody to suggest that the government didn’t have our best interests at heart and policemen sometimes killed people would have automatically made them a radical firebrand lefty. That’s not the case anymore.
185
Government must become lean and efficient and customer friendly. It must begin to pay its bills. Liberals believe this is radical and cruel. The rest of us think it is common sense.
186
I would say that I have become more radical as I have gotten older. I started out very radical when I was young, like most people, but I became less actively politically engaged in the middle of my life.
187
By ‘radical,’ I understand one who goes too far; by ‘conservative’, one who does not go far enough; by ‘reactionary’, one who won’t go at all.
188
Radical Islamic jihadists have a long-term vision. And if they have to stay in Europe to obtain a citizenship, to ultimately travel to the United States, and if it takes them five years or ten years, they’re okay with that. History has proven that.
189
Barack Obama is a radical, and we should not be afraid to say that.
190
Radical constructivism, thus, is radical because it breaks with convention and develops a theory of knowledge in which knowledge does not reflect an ‘objective’ ontological reality.
191
The United States and Russia probably do not have common aims and dreams, but they have common worries: Both Washington and Moscow are concerned about the rise of China and are threatened by the rise of radical Islam.
192
For the first time in human history, there seems to be a radical increase in the proportion reaching principled morality.
193
In Madrid I lived quietly and then Lisbon cost me more. Language was a subject and adaptation was slow, but getting to Wolverhampton was radical. It gave me peace of mind. There I can go as if nothing to make my life. People approach, with respect, to tell me that they are happy with me.
194
Rather than embracing mainstream, majority-held positions, 2020 Democratic presidential candidates have made it exceedingly clear that they will sacrifice themselves on the altar of the radical left – endorsing positions held by a select few and fueling an unstoppable tailwind behind President Trump’s reelection.
195
There is nothing radical about Obama except the fact of who he is.
196
For him to have understood me would have meant reorganizing his thinking… giving up his intellectual ballast, and few people are willing to risk such a radical move.
197
I understand that a lot of people can’t connect with my music, because it’s a radical proposal and a personal proposal. There will be people who can connect with it, and many that can’t.
198
I always wished I could move around and switch schools. It was hard to have these radical transformations. You’d think, ‘I will be a totally different person tomorrow,’ but it never worked.
199
There is an urgent need for a radical revision of our current concepts of the nature of consciousness and its relationship to matter and the brain.
200
It’s interesting how people who were once fairly radical can become, later in life, kind of conservative, and not just in terms of politics – how, if you’re an artist, you can start out being somewhat avant-garde and then end up doing landscapes.
201
I think the most radical thing you can do is be yourself.
202
When Democrats are proposing things like a Green New Deal and Medicare for all and proposing that they take away your private insurance… it’s very obvious to people that they’ve gone in a radical direction that will not work.
203
A militant’s profile lies not in his age, race, culture, or education; anyone can join or be adopted by the al Qaeda network, the only prerequisite being a willingness to accept the group’s radical, cultlike ideology.
204
What the Khmer Rouge had in store was a radical agrarian revolution, one with the professed aim of completely renovating society while giving the peasants a better life, of evening the rewards and feeding the hungry, of bringing a rational and utilitarian nation-state into being.
205
Radical feminists are often highly conservative in many areas except for women’s rights, and LGBT activists can be the same.
206
People often say that a bad event is a ‘blessing in disguise.’ Trust me, experience will teach you that some are unbelievably well disguised. Everyone gets fired, or decides to make a radical change at some point. Everyone suffers setbacks.
207
The conservative who resists change is as valuable as the radical who proposes it.
208
Despite a few really bad days we had quite a lot of fun making Low, especially when all the radical ideas were making sense and things were starting to click.
209
In the radical Islamist jihad world, you’re seeing more and more recruits going to ISIS rather than al-Qaida.
210
I am delighted to be at the heart of this team of radical reformers in Boris Johnson, Michael Gove, Nick Boles and many others. It’s a team I believe will deliver the change Britain needs.
211
We must make a radical turn, at 360 degrees.
212
I was influenced very much by St. Francis of Assisi, whose idea was to radically live the gospel. He was not a priest, or even a brother. He was a layperson. His whole concept was to emulate Christ through the gospels, and to live it in a radical way.
213
Mainly, I’m doing my thing, and I hope people like it. I don’t say, ‘I’m going to write something radical and hope it reverberates throughout society.’ The goal is to write a solid, entertaining, engaging show.
214
I grew up in a culturally radical home, where strong emotions were forbidden.
215
When you are right you cannot be too radical; when you are wrong, you cannot be too conservative.
216
The West needs leaders with the courage and the will to fight the scourge of radical Islam.
217
We cannot be complacent about the determination of radical Islamic extremists to destroy our freedoms.
218
BDS is not a typical act of political correctness, undertaken by radical academics whose usual prey is the youth of America. This is a worldwide movement designed to destroy the one democracy in the Middle East and the hopes of people who have occupied that land for over three thousand years.
219
I think, the world over, new ideas have come from young people. I’m not saying it doesn’t happen, but it is rare that new or radical ideas come from old people.
220
Statements in support of radical terror organizations have become the norm for certain left wing members of Congress.
221
I’m a radical, and I always have been.
222
The forces that led to radical Islam, the Muslim Brotherhood, Al Qaeda, Islamic State, can ultimately only be defeated by moderate Muslims around the globe, countries like U.A.E. that have led the fight within their own border to promote tolerance.
223
As someone who grew up between two cultures, I have been fascinated with the question of why men and women with similar backgrounds to mine were drawn towards radical messages of hate and violence.
224
Our Prophet was a radical too- he fought against the injustices of his community and challenged the feudal order of his society, so they called him a radical. So what? We should be proud of that!
225
Unlike other Taliban groups, the Haqqanis’ approach to mayhem was worldly and sophisticated: they recruited Arabs, Pakistanis, even Europeans, and they were influenced by the latest in radical Islamist thought.
226
Obedience is detachment from the self. This is the most radical detachment of all. But what is the self? The self is the principle of reason and responsibility in us. It is the root of freedom, it is what makes us men.
227
I tend not to believe radical Muslim movements.
228
I didn’t see myself as a woman doing film but as a radical film-maker who was a woman.
229
Close to 80 percent of all terrorist activity in Samaria was directed and financed either by Hizbullah or the Iranians. Iran continues to increase its involvement in terror attacks inside Israel, particularly through a small but radical minority of Israeli Arabs which Iran supports and directs.
230
Our actions in the Middle East over the last 15 years have already guaranteed radical Muslims quite enough ammunition to kill Americans for the next century, even if Guantanamo did not exist.
231
Martin Luther King Jr. was not just a man of peace. He was a radical pacifist, and so he was against war across the board.
232
New York is this cacophony – a collection of radical differences, an agreement of non sequiturs. The diversity and intensity are startling.
233
I consider myself not a conservative libertarian but a radical ’60s libertarian.
234
This country has always been run by elite, and it’s an elitist democracy. And that’s not a radical concept. It’s elitist democracy. When people talk about democracy, they don’t talk – really talk about participatory democracy, until the point that we get us at Election Day.
235
As you can imagine I’m disappointed as anything that I was not selected to be the presidential running mate. And I find it continually appalling that it would be a radical thing to have a woman on the ticket.
236
I’m not radical.
237
We began as restless and radical. Remember the spirit of 1997, but by the end of our time in office we had lost our way.
238
If Republicans are defeated in 2008, God help us all because Radical Islamic fascists will do anything by any means necessary to rid the world of the ‘infidels’: the enemy. In their eyes, that is America.
239
As I look into the future, I see radical changes in both how people ‘attain beauty,’ and how the world perceives beauty. In general, I believe traditional beauty will be less valuable – and more uniqueness will be heralded.
240
The Wahhabi movement is a form of radical Islam that people here say did not exist before in Bosnia, where Islam had co-existed with other major religions and was much softer and more liberal.
241
What people forget is that the most radical thing about Obama is that he was the first black man in history to imagine that he could become president, who was able to make other Americans believe it as well. Other than that, he is a centrist, just like I try to be. He’s been bridging divisions his whole life.
242
I want to do just, like, regular art. Whatever is made today on canvas goes up against all of art history. It’s the most radical thing.
243
God as ‘He,’ as a patriarchal thing, is offensive to me. It’s standard fare for America, ‘He, He, He.’ Every time I hear that it’s like another blow against females. It’s very radical talk at this point for females to say this kind of stuff, but nationwide I still hear females referring to God as ‘He.’
244
I don’t think that the Iranians, even if they got the bomb, they’re going to drop it immediately on some neighbor. They fully understand what might follow. They’re radical, but not total mishuginas.
245
If I ever called myself an activist, I regret it, and I was cornered into it by an industry who couldn’t justify me taking up space without saying that I had some kind of radical political agenda because they saw my participation as a radical political thing. Which it was not.
246
Young people, some of whom are not born into the faith, are being fired up by preachers using basic Islamic scripture and mobilized to wage jihad by radical imams who represent themselves as legitimate Muslim clergymen.
247
Women tend to be conservative in youth and get more radical as they get older because they lose power with age. So if a young woman is not a feminist, I say, ‘Just wait.’
248
Hats are radical; only people that wear hats understand that.
249
ISIS and radical Islam have declared war on us not because of anything we have done – not because we are a friend to Israel and not because we have not yet toppled the bloody Syrian dictator Assad. ISIS and radical Islamists hate us for who we are. The irony is, we ourselves do not know who we are.
250
I started the label Tzadik to support an entire community of musicians, not just Jewish musicians. But the radical Jewish culture movement was begun in a lot of ways because I wanted to take the idea that Jewish music equals ‘klezmer’ and expand it to, ‘Well, Jewish music could be a lot more than that.’
251
Obama’s ascendancy unhinged the radical right, offering a unified target to competing camps of racial, nativist and religious animus.
252
The Arab Spring, nobody’s in the streets demonstrating for radical Islam; they’re in the streets with a window of democracy. They want our political reform, our social justice, and our economic opportunity.
253
In 1861, Bachofen published his radical thesis that the Amazons were not a myth but a fact. In his view, humanity started out under the rule of womankind and only switched to patriarchy at the dawn of civilization.
254
Radical Islamist extremists surely hope that an attack on Iraq will kill many people and destroy much of the country, providing recruits for terrorist actions.
255
I can’t tell you the number of times in high school I was allowed to be disappointed for not making the grade; it’s a part of life. So the young students who are being taught by radical leftists in this country today are going to end up growing up in a world for which they are totally unprepared and unequipped.
256
When I was in my teens and twenties, I could see friends expressing how radical they were, and I envied them, the way they lived, the way they dressed. Maybe there is a part of me that is reserved, even in rebellion.
257
I don’t consider myself a ‘radical.’ Radical in American society has, I think, become this buzzword that makes a lot of ideas and discussions seem foreign or new to people – whether for or against them. Is it radical to seek justice? Is it radical to be rescued by love? Is it subversive to be sweet?
258
I’m as radical as libertarians come.
259
The truth is that while those on the left – particularly the far left – claim to be tolerant and welcoming of diversity, in reality many are quite intolerant of anyone not embracing their radical views.
260
The U.S. healthcare industry is undergoing radical transformation with the Affordable Care Act. Evolving thought and business models have little semblance to present mechanisms.
261
I think it is time for a radical federalism in this country, where people trust innovation coming from the local level and ramp that up.
262
I use some pretty radical harmonics at the beginning of ‘Heresy.’
263
The Torah is the foundational text for Jewish law, but the Haggadah is our book of living memory. We are not merely telling a story here. We are being called to a radical act of empathy. Here we are, embarking on an ancient, perennial attempt to give human lives – our lives – dignity.
264
The most radical revolutionary will become a conservative the day after the revolution.
265
I have a political view that is certainly progressive and radical in a certain sense.
266
The war against radical Salafi-Jihadism has been going on for several decades already and it will span many more and the U.S. must be preparing mentally for it.
267
Like most kids, I grew up singing ‘This Land Is Your Land’ in grammar school, but with the most radical verses neatly removed. This was before I knew it was a Woody Guthrie song.
268
Obama’s most radical goal has not been the transformation of our economy, our foreign policy, or our place in the world. Obama aims to transform what it means to be an American.
269
I never dared to be radical when young for fear it would make me conservative when old.
270
I am trying to do two things: dare to be a radical and not a fool, which is a matter of no small difficulty.
271
I’ve been politically radical my whole life, so when the left attacks, that hurts more.
272
The national coronavirus response has been a radical experiment on the American people that destroyed our economy and harmed our liberty.
273
The opportunities which the present position open up for a lasting and radical solution of the most vexing problem of the Jewish state are so far-reaching as to take one’s breath away.
274
Whether it’s people walking off ‘The View’ when Bill O’Reilly makes a statement about radical Islam or Juan Williams being fired for expressing his opinion, over-reaching political correctness is chipping away at the fundamental American freedoms of speech and expression.
275
If you’re sick, you should be able to see a doctor. And if you’re seen, you should be able to afford the bill and your medicine without going broke. There is absolutely nothing radical about this.
276
I’m not a politically radical person. In fact, I’m much more interested in being radical aesthetically.
277
I’m not surprised ‘The Avengers’ has such enduring popularity, because it was a groundbreaking series that changed television. It was the first show that put its leading man and leading lady on an equal footing and showed a woman fighting and kicking and throwing men around. That was a radical departure in its time.
278
Before turning 32 is an amazing time to do radical things. You figure out who you are while you figure out who you are not.
279
It is ironic that so many politicians claim to defend traditional Christian values of ‘faith and family.’ In fact, a radical antifamily ideology permeates Christ’s teaching, and the early Christian tradition often set faith and family against each other.
280
My family wasn’t particularly political. Mom and Dad voted, but that was the extent of their involvement. In fact, I ended up going to U.C. Davis because, to them, Berkeley was too radical.
281
Arguably, the first five years of ‘Saturday Night Live’ were some of the most radical things ever seen on television. When NBC said, ‘Okay, you can do a show from 11:30 to 1 on Saturday night,’ they didn’t think anyone would watch. It was like giving a piece of the candy store to the kids.
282
The music that I will continue to make will certainly draw upon those experiences of being a loner, of being an emo goth kid, of being a New York City aficionado, of being a witch, a feminist, a brown radical woman.
283
I don’t think it’s an incredibly radical premise to try and have sympathy for someone who has made a mistake.
284
How people watch and the different ways they connect to TV – you’re going to see some expansion and radical transformation.
285
If Obama wanted to make radical changes to America’s health long-term, all he has to do is treble the price of sugar and salt.
286
My mother didn’t want me to be a feminist, a radical, political person, because she was scared. She wanted me to be protected and safe, but my life never was.
287
For the entire four years of the greatest Presidential term of our lifetime, Democrats led by Speaker Pelosi and radical Socialists in her party attempted coup after coup against President Donald Trump.
288
Around the time I began starving, in the early eighties, the visual image had begun to supplant text as culture’s primary mode of communication, a radical change because images work so differently than words: They’re immediate, they hit you at levels way beneath intellect, they come fast and furious.
289
And that Newman wasn’t, and yet to me Pollock is just as radical and unlike Expressionism as Newman.
290
June Jordan, who died of cancer in 2002, was a brilliant, fierce, radical, and frequently furious poet. We were friends for thirty years. Not once in that time did she step back from what was transpiring politically and morally in the world. She spoke up, and led her students, whom she adored, to do the same.
291
You can write a radical Norwegian or a conservative Norwegian. And when I changed to a conservative Norwegian, I gained this distance or objectivity in the language. The gap released something in me, and in the writing, which made it possible for the protagonist to think thoughts I had never myself thought.
292
Getting rid of all the world records would be a bit of a radical move.
293
We need to make sure these Islamic terrorist organizations don’t become mainstream. We’re fighting an ideology as much as a group of radical terrorists.
294
Radical Islamic fundamentalists harbor contempt for our democratic way of life and, given the opportunity, will stop at nothing to accomplish their goal of bringing our country to its knees.
295
I went to theater school at Northwestern, and I was quite conservative. Reagan at the time seemed quite revolutionary, or at least a rock star: He was radical and kind of punk rock.
296
When you are younger and more radical, the police seem like the enemy.
297
Practically the only way to dry the swamp of radical Islam is through economic development and an improved standard of living.
298
For many young men, joining in a radical movement is a way of feeling powerful, which is particularly intoxicating for men who feel their masculinity has been called into question, whether through victimisation or a failure to achieve the status that they feel they are entitled to.
299
America and its allies are engaged in a war against a terrorist movement that spans all corners of the globe. It is sparked by radical ideologues that breed hatred, oppression, and violence against all of their declared enemies.
300
The threat from radical Islam is real.
301
The State of the Union may look rosy from the White House balcony or the suites of George Bush’s wealthiest donors. But hardworking Americans will see through this president’s efforts to wrap his radical agenda with a compassionate ribbon.
302
Every second, every hour, and every day we can stop radical Democrat policies, Republicans should do it.
303
Change does not come easily to our party, in spite of its roots in our country’s radical tradition.
304
Radical multicultural types will, in the end, destroy the things they claim to like, because they don’t understand that liberty and reasonable equality are features of stable, free, conservative societies based on Christian ideas, which guard their borders and are proud of their civilisation.
305
You can’t win for losing. Either you fulfill their stereotype of being a radical 60’s person or you’ve sold out. In fact, of course, millions of people who were active in the 60’s are doing work on issues that try to reflect their values.
306
No Christian can be a pessimist, for Christianity is a system of radical optimism.
307
My family taught me radical politics from the beginning, but I also learned to prove myself in elite institutions.
308
When I was writing ‘The Satanic Verses,’ if you had asked me about the phenomenon that we all now know as radical Islam, I wouldn’t have had much to say. As recently as the mid-1980s, it didn’t seem to be a big deal.
309
If you start thinking of stress as not a bad thing but inevitable, resulting in change that itself leads to transformation that leads to sharp and radical changes… it can be a very useful way of thinking.
310
I’ve caught myself watching MSNBC more and more, simply amazed at the nightly hate-fest against millions of Americans who don’t see the world through the granny glasses of Keith Olbermann or any of the other radical liberals who host shows there.
311
Investing in women and girls may once have been considered a radical notion or even a waste of resources, but in most places in the world today, women and girls are increasingly recognized as a critical link to greater prosperity, political stability, better health and public policy.
312
Syriza is what it is: a radical, left-wing party that feels the pulse of the times, knows what’s at stake, and is after a wide consensus and unity for political change in Greece. This is something that departs from the narrow limits of the radical left.
313
I am what would be called a ‘mainstream feminist,’ not a radical feminist.
314
There must be something in the water in Minnesota because historically, despite its seemingly homogeneous population, the state has produced some of our more radical political thinkers, and its people have put their prejudices aside to vote for them.
315
I went over to say hi to Rob and he introduced me to Wayne and Fred. I had made a radical purchase of some brown Beatle boots. Wayne was like ‘Where did you get those boots! Who is this guy?
316
Radical changes will come to the Netherlands. We stand for fundamental choices, and we need to make the right ones.
317
Our ideals are under the constant threat of extremism, whether in the form of radical Muslim groups or the emergence of other elements seeking to deny the rights and freedoms of others.
318
I don’t like to make strong statements. I want to write strong novels… I keep my deep, radical things for my novels.
319
Who do you want to be: the radical man who can make a choice in one second, or the man who never takes decisions? That’s the question: who’s the best? Actually, there is no best.
320
But the threat posed by the radical Islamists represents an unusual conflict, unlike any experienced by our nation before: we face an enemy that is not a state.
321
In our lifetime, we’re going to see fifty percent of the world’s species go extinct. We’re already seeing this radical rise in the world’s temperature that was predicted.
322
Yes, Gaddafi was a ruthless dictator and supporter of terrorism during his 40-year reign in Libya, but he had become an ally of the United States in the fight against radical jihadism after 9/11.
323
I just can’t imagine anyone in the United States military who would not understand the distinction between a jihadist and a radical Islamist and Muslims. I think that is snobbery from elitists. It goes to the issue, it seems to me, of an orthodoxy, a political correctness that has infiltrated the U.S. Army.
324
The cornerstone of the political correctness that dominates campus culture is radical feminism.
325
There is a group of individuals who are radical jihadists. We need to call them by name. They believe it is OK to kill people in the name of their religion. It is not all of Islam. It is not all Muslims. But there is a subgroup who believe it is OK. In fact, it is their plan and design to kill people.
326
It is clear that the radical left has taken over the Democratic Party, leaving behind the party of John F. Kennedy.
327
The IMF played crucial roles in the 1980s debt crisis and in the transformation of former communist economies. Radical change, many might argue, is neither necessary nor desirable.
328
And I believe only with a strong America will we defeat this radical group, this apocalyptic group called ISIS. That’s why when I’m president we are going to rebuild our intelligence capabilities. And they’re going to tell us where the terrorists are. And a rebuilt U.S. military is going to destroy these terrorists.
329
On everything from climate change to the housing crisis, we need solutions that are credible, bold and radical.
330
I am much more radical in my beliefs than my products represent me to be.
331
I personally don’t feel the need to be radical for its own sake, but I probably couldn’t if I tried anyway.
332
From the moments Obama took office, he has downplayed the threats from radical Islamists.
333
Many writers are radical. I am not, because of my age and because of my terrible fear of demagogy.
334
Call me radical, but I’ve always thought there are at least two subjects on which journalists are absolutely entitled to express public opinions: freedom of expression, and attacks on journalists.
335
There are many nice, peaceful Muslims, but the Netherlands is far too tolerant regarding the statements of the radical wing of Islam.
336
Working-class Americans want a clear champion, and there is nothing radical about moral clarity in 2018.
337
There needs to be radical development in equality law to create the environment to allow women to stay in work.
338
When I don’t wear makeup, it’s not because I’m lazy, but it’s me making this radical bid for the feminization of my body and being confident in that.
339
The good thing about people who are corporate is that they’re stupid. So they can be touching something that’s precious or radical or special, and they miss the point completely.
340
I’m a huge Nagisa Oshima fan. He was one of the most radical Japanese directors to come up in the ’60s.
341
When I was 13, I did become a Christian. And so it was when I was 13, that I thought… I just… I really saw a good example in Jesus and how he was just so… such a tremendous radical love and service of the poor. I just thought, ‘Man, why can’t we all do the same?’
342
I did a TV show called ‘Unit 1.’ It wasn’t a bad experience, but yes, the first season I didn’t have a good time because I was coming from Nicolas Winding Refn films where the corners were sharp and radical, but now we had round corners.
343
We’ve got tremendous equity in cow spots and in the name Gateway, so this isn’t anything radical, but you’ll see us getting more sophisticated in our marketing efforts.
344
Mankind is considered (by the radical environmentalists) the lowest and the meanest of all species and is blamed for everything.
345
For me, a really radical position for journalism to take is to stop being cynical. Cynicism is what passes for insight among the mediocre.
346
Foreign writers – especially Germans – often feel that Shakespeare is really one of them, that he was somehow accidentally born in the wrong country. In much the same way, leftists sense in their bones that he was a radical, rightists that he was a Tory.
347
Our conscience is not the vessel of eternal verities. It grows with our social life, and a new social condition means a radical change in conscience.
348
I will never back down from the radical left, and I will always put America and our military first.
349
The Nation of Islam provides an antidote in the United States to fundamentalist Islam – which is why individuals from America have to go abroad to find radical teachings.
350
Carlos was a character, a character fabricated by Ilich Ramirez Sanchez, fabricated by the secret services of the epoch, fabricated by the governments of the epoch, by the radical groups of the epoch, by the communications media.
351
America needs to fully grasp the lessons learned from our history of fighting radical jihadists. There have been successes and failures.
352
Radical Islam, it has grown into a global jihad.
353
The time draws near, when a radical change must take place for the whole world in the management of diplomacy.
354
I prefer for government to err toward less regulation, lower taxation, and free markets. And I’m a radical free trader.
355
Universal suffrage is sound in principle. The radical element is right.
356
Even Milton Friedman – doyen of radical free market thought – was willing to consider some government intervention into primary education on the grounds that it is unfair for children to not get a chance in life because they were born to poor parents.
357
It’s about time we all faced up to the truth. If we accept the radical homosexual agenda, be it in the military or in marriage or in other areas of our lives, we are utterly destroying the concept of family.
358
I think Dilbert is actually a radical strip.
359
President Trump identifies the hatred and intolerance expressed by his radical opponents and names it for what it is.
360
When I fought the Tories over climate change and won, more than trebling renewable power with a new subsidy policy combining state intervention with competitive market forces, it was world-beatingly radical.
361
In the late 19th century there was a major union organization, Knights of Labor, and also a radical populist movement based on farmers. It’s hard to believe, but it was based in Texas, and it was quite radical. They wanted their own banks, their own cooperatives, their own control over sales and commerce.
362

368
I am still radical!
369

373
In the 1980s and 1990s, radical change in economic policies fostered by Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher put the brakes on government planning and ushered in a new free-market supply-side era and a two-decade boom. That model has been abandoned in the new century. This must be reversed.

377
With a successful center-right party such as ours, it is hard for the radical right to find room to operate. This is why they repeatedly attack us in the ugliest manner. They attack us more than they attack the Jewish community or the ‘Jewish conspiracy’ – which they believe exists. I am one of their main targets.
378
The greatest threat facing humanity is a radical Islamist regime meeting up with nuclear weapons.
379

382
What we’re putting forward is the most radical reform of the welfare state… for 60 years. I think it will have a transformative effect in making sure that everyone is better off in work and better off working rather than on benefits.
383

384

385

386
Futurism eventually got marred by its link to Fascism, but early on, it was totally avant-garde, and I wanted to dream a phantom link from the early futurists to the politically radical Italy of the 1970s, a time of fun, play, subversion – if also violence and mayhem.

390
We need a clear plan to put radical Islamic terrorism out of vogue, and it should be eliminated at its roots. American SOF are part of the puzzle, but they do not, by themselves, complete the picture.

392

393
If a radical devolution of powers was possible, it would have been done before. The assumption of states’ rights is gone. There’s no support for it in the Supreme Court and there’s no support for it in public opinion.
394
I am a radical in thought (and principle) and a conservative in method (and conduct).
395

396
It’s a radical time for musicians, a really revolutionary time, and I believe revolutions like Napster are a lot more fun than cash, which by the way we don’t have at major labels anyway, so we might as well get with it and get in the game.
397
We should not judge Islam by terrorists. All civilizations and cultures produce terrorists. Every time there is a flag-burning, killing, or provocative films, I’m worried, not because something radical will happen, and this time, some people are killed. We’re very sorry for that.
398
I am on the right wing of the middle of the road and with a strong radical bias.

403

404

406
I like to stay balanced in life, so I don’t have to do some radical diet. I love my job, and I obviously want to feel good when I am working, but I also want to feel energized and agile all the time. As a New Yorker, I live in the land of plenty, and yet every day I see people who could use a good meal.
407
I just try to get away with as much as I can. I don’t think that’s very radical in the art world.

411
The Arab spring was not as radical as the French or Iranian revolutions. It did not pull out the deeply entrenched roots of the state. Instead, it was satisfied to replace the top of the pyramid with newly elected, but inexperienced, leaders.
412
Radical socio-economic transformation is a policy of the ANC. As a leader of the ANC, you have to implement the policy. When I talk about radical socio-economic transformation, it’s not my thing; it’s an ANC policy.
413
The struggle against radical Islam should be a joint struggle, and everyone should say, ‘There – we are sacrificing something.’
414

416

419

421
Briefly after the 9/11 attacks, Republicans and Democrats were united in identifying the evil of the radical jihadists and fighting it.

424
I am a radical.
425
No one among us suffers the radical appreciation for coffee that I do. It calls to me, but I have learned not to listen.

427
Radical conservatives want to police bedrooms.
428
No matter how many times you’ve seen the movies and the TV shows that have a protagonist leaping in the path of a bullet, physics forbids such sacrifice. Because of a bullet’s radical speed, you can’t jump in front of it, but you could get in its way. It’s not as dramatic, but it does save lives.
429
Even the most radical Islamic terrorist would not want to see the revered holy city of Medina go up. It would be like losing the Vatican in Rome.
430
