“I keep feeling like I’m living in The Matrix. The Obama administration and liberal progressive media would like to force Americans to take the red pill and stay in fantasyland where everything is lovely. They will cover up the truth by draining our will and energy. Instead, we must wake up and see the ‘real world’ behind the smoke and mirrors, behind the Potemkin President, and understand the truth of this presidential cover-up.” – Retired Col. Allen West
“The tank, the B-52, the fighter-bomber, the state-controlled police and military are the weapons of dictatorship. The rifle is the weapon of democracy. Not for nothing was the revolver called an ‘Equalizer.’ Egalite implies liberte. And always will. Let us hope our weapons are never needed—but do not forget what the common people of this nation knew when they demanded The Bill Of Rights: An armed citizenry is the first defense, and the best defense, and the final defense against tyranny.” – Edward Abbey, Abbey’s Road

“They’ve (the government) took our silver, They’ve took our gold. They’ve took th’ silver certificates all in. And we ain’t got a thing except our gover’mint on it. There’s all we got t’back it up. It just left us, by granny, with a piece a’paper; an’if we lose our gover’mint, it’s all dead anyhow just th’same as gover’mint bonds. We’re all broke. If th’gover’mint go broke, we ain’t got a thing in th’world.” – Hillard Green, sometime between 1968 – 1970 as part of Foxfire.
