“Many antitax advocates and political leaders who insist Americans' liberty requires freedom from taxes want to have the government limit core values such as whom people can marry, what schools can teach, and who makes decisions concerning control over people's bodies, to name just a few. Antitax proponents often endorse bizarre and unrealistic conceptions of freedom.”

“Nothing is easier than stamping your foot and shouting: ''That's mine!’ It is immeasurably harder to proclaim: ‘You may live as you please.’ We cannot, in the latter end of the twentieth century. live in the imaginary world in which our last, not very bright Emperor came to grief. Surprising though it may be, the prophecy of our Vanguard Doctrine that nationalism would fade has not come true. In the age of the atom and of cybernetics, it has for some reason blossomed afresh. Like it or not, the time is at hand when we must payout on our promissory notes guaranteeing self-determination and independence—pay up of our own accord. and not wait to be burned at the stake, drowned in rivers, or beheaded. We must prove our greatness as a nation not by the vastness of our territory. not by the number of peoples under our tutelage, but by the grandeur of our actions. And by the depth of our tilth in the lands that remain when those who do not wish to live with us are gone.”

“Our mission is not to conquer the world, nor save it – for many have pursued one if only for the purpose of achieving the other, and all have failed to accomplish either. We, the Sons of Liberty, are united in the faith of Freedom. Though the masses may choose slavery, we shall choose liberty. We fight, first and foremost, for our own, but when the slaves cry out for salvation, we will hear their call, and shall respond with fervent fury. Nil desperandum – Never despair.”
