“It's probably hard for anyone looking at my landscapes today to realize that I was once regarded as a rebel, a dangerous influence; that I've been told I was on the verge of insanity, that my painting was nothing but meaningless daubs. Lawren Harris, the man most responsible for drawing the Group of Seven together, was accused of something perilously close to treason - his paintings, said his severest critics, were discouraging immigration.” MenSaidHardTodayTogetherRealizingGroupsInfluenceDangerousHe ManPaintingCriticismResponsibleCriticsSevenDrawingImmigrationLandscapeInsanityRebelMeaninglessAccusedDiscouragingTreasonVerge Author:A.

“Today, we will hear from federal law enforcement agencies, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, who will discuss the problem of ELF and ALF and law enforcement's reaction to their dangerous and destructive tactics. It is these tactics, particularly the widespread use of arson, which makes ELF and ALF the #1 domestic terror concern over the likes of white supremacists, militias, and anti-abortion groups.” UseProblemTodayLawWhiteGroupsDangerousConcernTerrorAlcoholLikesReactionsAgencyAbortionDestructiveInvestigationLaw EnforcementEnforcementTacticsTobaccoFirearmsExplosivesMilitiaAnti AbortionArson Author:James Inhofe

“But the 20th century suffered "two" ideologies that led to genocides. The other one, Marxism, had no use for race, didn't believe in genes and denied that human nature was a meaningful concept.
