“Our Constitutional Republic wasn’t constructed through elitist social engineering or some sort of utopian political theory. It was raised from the ground up; formed from the very natures of the people whom made it possible. This is worthy of remembrance. This is history to be proud of. This is an identity to embrace. This is an ideal to defend.”

“[...] torture has been routine practice from the early days of the conquest of the national territory, and then beyond, as the imperial ventures of the infant empire—as George Washington called the new Republic—extended to the Philippines, Haiti, and elsewhere. Furthermore, torture was the least of the many crimes of aggression, terror, subversion, and economic strangulation that have darkened US history, much as in the case of other great powers. Accordingly, it is surprising to see the reactions even by some of the most eloquent and forthright critics of Bush malfeasance: for example, that we used to be a nation of moral ideals and never before Bush have our leaders so utterly betrayed everything our nation stands for. To say the least, that common view reflects a rather slanted version of history.”

“Fascism is eliminationism. Hitler promised to make Germany great again, by eliminating all the people who allegedly made Germany not great. Trump is promising to make America great again, by eliminating all the people who allegedly make America not great.”
