Cheerful Hardline quotations

The invasion of August 1968 had already happened, but the hardline regime took several months to crack down on dissidents.
In terms of hardline right-wing people on television, there's some people that make me cringe when I change the channel.

I have a very hardline position, we have a country or we don't have a country.
People that have come into our country illegally, they have to go. They have to come back into through a legal process.
You use force, you create fear. Fear destroys trust. Trust is the basis of harmony. The hardliner believes harmony and unity can be brought by force. That's totally unscientific, totally wrong.

Now don't laugh 'cause I just might be.
..the soft curve in your hardline. (from the song "Hardliners" by Holcombe Waller)
