"Nothing is more certainly written in the book of fate than that these [the Black] people are to be free. Nor is it less certain that the two races, equally free, cannot live in the same government. Nature, habit, opinion has drawn indelible lines of distinction between them."
Thomas Jefferson, Autobiography
[Illustrating the distortion of our heritage by the current Establishment, the first sentence of Jefferson's quote is inscribed on the Jefferson Memorial. The rest of the paragraph was "censored."]

More from Thomas Jefferson:
"If ever this vast country is brought under a single government, it will be one of the most extensive corruption, indifferent and incapable of a wholesome care over so wide a spread of surface. This will not be borne, and you will have to choose between reform and revolution. If I know the spirit of this country, the one or the other is inevitable."

"Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God."
 

"Free men are not equal. Equal men are not free."
National Youth Alliance, 1969

Poem about the Klan, attributed to Albert Pike:

Thrice hath the lone owl hooted,
And thrice the panther cried;
And swifter through the darkness,
The Pale Brigade shall ride.
No trumpet sounds its coming,
And no drum-beat stirs the air;
But noiseless in their vengeance,
They wreak it everywhere.

Nature had always been that and always will be, and the hands of man, even when he fashions and defends the noblest civilization, must forever be bloody hands, for this is a world in which only the strong and resolute nations survive, while the weak, especially the morally weak, who babble about brotherhood and peace, are biologically degenerate and doomed to extinction."
Prof. Revilo P. Oliver

"A political philosophy (often called "political science" by practitioners who are not averse from verbal trickery) must deal with contemporary realities. If it does not, if it is charged with "ideals," it is merely a variety of romantic fiction, although it may not be recognized as such."
Prof. Revilo P. Oliver
 

"It is not the evil itself which is horrifying about our times -it is the way we not only tolerate evil, but have made a cult of positively worshipping weakness, depravity, rottenness and evil itself."
George Lincoln Rockwell
 

"The destiny of the human race is to widen the gap separating it from the lower races of animals. Any code of morality which retains its permanence and authority after the conditions of existence which gave rise to it have changed, works against this upward progress of man."

"Our situation is desperate, and we can afford no illusions, no retreat into a land of dreams. Now, more than ever, optimism is cowardice."

And that slavery will grow more and more abject and ignoble as the differential birth rate, the deliberate encouragement of mendicancy and the failure of popular education produce a larger and larger mass of prehensile half-wits, and so make the demagogues more and more secure."
H. L. Mencken
