"The late British social anthropologist Joseph Daniel Unwin, famous for his study of world civilizations, discovered that a society ruled by its passions loses the moral fiber necessary to maintain civility. Studying the decline and fall of eighty world empires, Unwin determined that the loss of self-restraint, culminating in unlimited sexual expression, precipitated each empire's demise. Either the individuals in those societies became personally ruled by their passions, resulting in lawlessness and social chaos, or in their hedonism they lost the moral fiber necessary to successfully protect themselves militarily. America on both fronts has great reason for concern."

"On Earth Day, President Obama held up a model he wants America to emulate: 'Denmark produces almost 20 percent of their electricity through wind power,' he chided. But Denmark rues the day it got into the wind business. Because wind is so volatile and unpredictable, the Danes have had to use 50 percent more coal-generated electricity to cover its power gaps, causing their carbon emissions to go up 36 percent. They have yet to close a fossil-fuel plant, have lost 2.2 jobs for every 'green' one they've gained, and they have the highest electricity costs in all of Europe."

"[S]ome of the nation's most elite universities, such as Vanderbilt, Stanford University and the University of California, have yielded to black student demands for separate graduation ceremonies and separate 'celebratory events.' Universities such as Stanford, Cornell, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Cal Berkeley have, or have had, segregated dorms. If white students demanded whites-only graduation ceremonies or whites-only dorms, administrators would have labeled their demands as intolerable racism. When black students demand the same thing, these administrators cowardly capitulate."

"Today, whites are the only major racial group that faces oblivion through miscegenation and sub-replacement fertility, yet whites are also the only race that welcomes racial aliens into their homelands. This is a new phenomenon in human evolution because, as Mr. Fuerle [author of Erectus Walks Amongst Us] points out, it has always been the rule that 'a homeland is so vital to survival that an ethnic group will go to almost any length to have and hold one.' He adds that 'if whiles do not defend their homelands, they will soon have no homelands, and not long after that, there will be no more whites.'"

Conspicuous in their absence are any connections at all with any other group, moderate, or even mildly leftist.
