Political quotes... Applying the past to the present

On the self-defense squads in Mexico:

"Forget big ideas about democracy and about how the electoral rules of the game will lead to improvement in people's every day lives. Forget aspirations that the embrace of liberalization will finally bring the resources and institutions to address problems of economic inequality and political polarization. Instead, growing numbers of citizens in Latin America are turning their attention away from formal politics and party-led solutions and looking for their own answers to the problems of insecurity in every life" (Oxhorn and Ducatenzeiler, 1998). 

On gay marriage ban (US/Mexico):

A bad one: "The day faggotry is institutionalized in the PAN, I am leaving (Diego F. Ceballos, 2002).
