"There is too much at stake for us to surrender to the politics of polarization." ― Brad Henry Topic(s): Politics More From Brad Henry "This is not the time for partisan bickering. This is not the time for politics as usual. Some of us are Democrats. Some of us are Republicans. Some of us are Independents. Above all, we must be Oklahomans first." "A good teacher can inspire hope, ignite the imagination, and instill a love of learning." "Families are the compass that guide us. They are the inspiration to reach great heights, and our comfort when we occasionally falter." More In Politics "Skip the religion and politics, head straight to the compassion. Everything else is a distraction."― Talib Kweli "People are fed up with the politics where candidates just rip each other apart and then the voters lose in the end because no one really knows what anybody stands for."― Dennis Kucinich "A dose of humility goes a long way in life and in politics."― Ron Fournier
