The reason this country is in such a mess is there are too many lawyers turned politician. It is undeniable that most lawyers are greedy, unethical and liars. I will not vote for any lawyer who runs for a senate or house position.

Lawyers are taught that there is no “truth”—only what a clevor lawyer can get away with.

I've long said that we could solve every problem in the country with a simple law banning anyone with a law degree from holding public office.

There should be more from the military go into politics. Churchill was a military man. He saw the world, and learned some things before trying to rule a country. Consider, for example, the opinion he formed of Islam:

"How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property - either as a child, a wife, or a concubine - must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men. Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities. Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the Queen: all know how to die. But the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world." Winston Churchill, 1899
