In A Fight Almost Anything

The Democratic Ideal Springs From The Ideas Of Liberty, Equality, Majority Rule Through Free Elections, Protection Of The Rights Of Minorities, And Freedom To Subscribe To Multiple Loyalties In Matters Of Religion, Economics, And Politics Rather Than To A Total Loyalty To The State. The Spirit Of Democracy Is The Idea Of Importance And Worth In The Individual, And Faith In The Kind Of World Where The Individual Can Achieve As Much Of His Potential As Possible.

The Human Spirit Glows From That Small Inner Light Of Doubt Whether We Are Right, While Those Who Believe With Certainty That They Possess The Right Are Dark Inside And Darken The World Outside With Cruelty, Pain, And Injustice.

In This World Laws Are Written For The Lofty Aim Of "the Common Good" And Then Acted Out In Life On The Basis Of The Common Greed. In This World Irrationality Clings To Man Like His Shadow So That The Right Things Get Done For The Wrong Reasons - Afterwards, We Dredge Up The Right Reasons For Justification. It Is A World Not Of Angels But Of Angles, Where Men Speak Of Moral Principles But Act On Power Principles; A World Where We Are Always Moral And Our Enemies Always Immoral; A World Where "reconciliation" Means That When One Side Gets The Power And The Other Side Gets Reconciled To It.

In A Fight Almost Anything Goes. It Almost Reaches The Point Where You Stop To Apologize If A Chance Blow Lands Above The Belt.

The Prerequisite For An Ideology Is Possession Of A Basic Truth.
