For me, ‘revolution’ simply means radical change.
I’m not surprised ‘The Avengers‘ has such enduring popularity, because it was a groundbreaking series that changed television.

If you want to keep people subjugated, the last thing you place in their hands is a Bible. There’s nothing more radical, nothing more revolutionary, nothing more subversive against injustice and oppression than the Bible.

The most radical revolutionary will become a conservative the day after the revolution.
If I say most people are pretty decent that may sound nice and warm but actually it’s really radical and subversive and that’s why, all throughout history, those who have advocated a more hopeful view of human nature – often the anarchists – have been persecuted.

We allow folks to divide us. I don’t like this Republican/Democrat, left/right, radical/not radical division that is created by folks, particularly and unfortunately in the media. What happened to being a self-reliant, God-fearing American, that loved freedom and the constitution? That’s the way I want to be labeled.
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.
I don’t think I’m a flaming radical.

That kind of transformation requires the ultimate surrender of self.
Radical Forgiveness is much more than the mere letting go of the past. It is the key to creating the life that we want, and the world that we want. It is the key to our own happiness and the key to world peace. It is no longer an option. It is our destiny.

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.

This radical Islam is a religious-based ideology. And you actually have to, when you deal with the ideology, you have to attack it on that basis.
I am going to keep radical Islamic terrorists the hell out of our country.

I’m not radical.

I believe I have a calling. Do you know what that calling is? To stand up in a new and hard core, radical way for the Lord. In the process, if I insult a couple of people, if I offend a couple of people, and if I got to shake it up a little bit, as long as it is led by the Holy Spirit, amen.
Should it concern us that the bible never calls us to ask Jesus into our hearts. Should it concern us that the bible never mentions such a superstitious sinners prayer and yet that is exactly what we have sold to so many as salvation.
Instead of a bumbling and inefficient tool of society, the radical [libertarian] sees the State itself, in its very nature, as coercive, exploitative, parasitic, and hence profoundly antisocial. The State is, and always has been, the great single enemy of the human race, its liberty, happiness, and progress.
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.
If we allow responsible management of our forests and end the nonsense litigation from radical environmental groups, we can get our timber mills up and running, reduce the risk of wildfires, and ensure healthier forests and cleaner air.

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.

Her language is simply extraordinary.

[Ronald]Reagan and[George W.] Bush were far more radical than other presidents.

I am what would be called a ‘mainstream feminist,’ not a radical feminist.

I love radical theorists. But at the same time, I don’t agree with them a lot, but I love their theories. I love how they intellectualize rage, and this inner battle that such a tiny percent of people really care about. I find that the most interesting.

I don’t want be a stick in the mud and do the same thing as I did last year, I want to do something different and see what happens.
We are held up by the radical Muslims as the enemy. So every time we go into one of these countries to do – we think – the right thing, we become propaganda for this radical movement.

The radical tension between good and evil, as man sees it and feels it, does not have the last word about the meaning of life and the nature of existence. There is a spirit in man and in
