More From Christopher Hitchens

I asked myself, 'how are you going to change all these people, they have different values, different customs, different language, different interpretations?' so that’s the time i joined the ku klux klan in miami. the reason i joined is to see if i could change them. so i dissolved that organization in a month-and-a-half, alone. [applause] then i joined the white citizen council. the wcc hates foreigners – all foreigners. so i joined that organization; i dissolved it in one month.

This modesty in a sect is perhaps a singular instance in the history of mankind, every other sect supposing itself in possession of all truth, and that those who differ are so far in the wrong ; like a man traveling in foggy weather, those at some distance before him on the road he sees wrapped up in the fog, as well as those behind him, and also the people in the fields on each side, but near him all appears clear, tho' in truth he is as much in the fog as any of them.

Your sect [the jews] by its sufferings has furnished a remarkable proof of the universal point of religious insolence, inherent in every sect, disclaimed by all while feeble and practised by all when in power. our laws have applied the only antidote to this vice, protecting our religions, as they do our civil rights, by putting all on equal footing. but more remains to be done.

I have received your letter of the 6th, with the eloquent discourse delivered at the consecration of the jewish synagogue. having ever regarded the freedom of religious opinions and worship as equally belonging to every sect, and the secure enjoyment of it as the best human provision for bringing all either into the same way of thinking, or into that mutual charity which is the only substitute, i observe with pleasure the view you give of the spirit in which your sect partake of the blessings offered by our government and laws.

If i were advising president obama, since he's the one running, i would have made his campaign very simple. i promise that in four years, i will get more americans, as many as i possibly can, the opportunity and access to some form of post-secondary education. i want more of them to graduate high school with the skill-set of post-secondary education and i want more of them to be able to obtain that post-secondary education. this is the only way we are going to close the income gap.

In the long run even the most despotic governments with all their brutality and cruelty are no match for ideas. eventually the ideology that has won the support of the majority will prevail and cut the ground from under the tyrant's feet. then the oppressed many will rise in rebellion and overthrow their masters.
