“[In] colonial history...we find true Christian nations—the colonies—founded on Christian principles. Those Christian governments were so tyrannical that they became examples for the founders of how not to build a nation.”
― Andrew L. Seidel, The Founding Myth: Why Christian Nationalism Is Un-American

“There are few things wholly evil, or wholly good. Almost everything, especially of governmental policy, is an inseparable compound of the two; so that our best judgement of the preponderance between them is continually demanded.’ —Abraham Lincoln”
― Bonnie MacBird, The Devil’s Due

“No. 2’s infamous opening line is a double gambit: the Village does not really want information, of course, only obedience. (From their point of view, information is an exchange-value, not a use-value). In fact, it is No. 6 who truly wants information: information on who No. 1 is, where the Village really is, which side runs it, and how it might be possible to escape.”
― Dennis Redmond, The World is Watching: Video as Multinational Aesthetics, 1968-1995
