Revilo P. Oliver

“If our squawking pacifists were rational, they would perceive that war can only be ended by abolishing the several species of mammals called human; our spacecraft have shown us that Mars and Venus are perfectly warless worlds”. –Revilo P. Oliver

Walter Lippmann

“A State is absolute in the sense which I have in mind when it claims the right to a monopoly of all the force within the community, to make war, to make peace, to conscript life, to tax, to establish and dis-establish property, to define crime, to punish disobedience, to control education, to supervise the family, to regulate habits, and to censor opinions. The modern State claims all of these powers, and, in the matter of theory, there is no real difference in the size of the claim between communists, fascists, and democrats”. –Walter Lippmann

The hopes and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you.

H.G. Wells
