    This is no war for domination or imperial aggrandisement or material gain.... It is a war ... to establish, on impregnable rocks, the rights of the individual and it is a war to establish and revive the stature of man.
    Winston Churchill (1874–1965)

    We do not deride the fears of prospering white America. A nation of violence and private property has every reason to dread the violated and the deprived.
