James Larkin Quotes

Although politics can get very rough, Rove took revenge for disagreement or what he perceived as disloyalty to an extreme that was new to the American experience. In one case, to punish an ex ambassador who had made public statements disagreeing with George W. Bush’s policy, Rove leaked the fact that the ambassador’s wife was a covert CIA agent, thus blowing her cover, ending her career, and endangering her life and the lives of some of her contacts. Rove pretended to be a devoted Christian for political image, his behavior towards opponents was far from Christian and his language as can be seen by this quote was not consonant with a religious person’s behavior.
Once blood is shed in a national quarrel, reason and right are swept aside by the rage of angry men.

James Larkin, sometimes known as Jim Larkin, was an Irish republican, socialist and trade union leader. He was one of the founders of the Irish Labour Party along with James Connolly and William O'Brien, and later the founder of the Irish Worker League (a communist party which was recognised by the Comintern as the Irish section of the world communist movement), as well as the Irish Transport and General Workers' Union (ITGWU), the Workers' Union of Ireland (the two unions later merged to become SIPTU, Ireland's largest trade union). Along with Connolly and Jack White, he was also a founder of the Irish Citizen Army (ICA; a paramilitary group which was integral to both the Dublin lock-out and the Easter Rising). Larkin was a leading figure in the Syndicalist movement.
