The life of man is a dubious experiment. . . . Yet I have never lost a sense of something that lives and endures underneath the eternal flux.  - Carl Jung


According to our experience and our human history, I know that everything essential and great could be born only from the fact that man had a homeland and was rooted in a tradition.  - Heidegger


Praise the Lord and pass the barbeque.  - Maurice Bessinger


We have no need, sirs, to be ashamed of our dead; let us see to it that they be not ashamed of us.  - Robert L. Dabney, 1868


The slave trade was routine in Africa before the Europeans arrived... The inculcation of guilt in Europeans has facilitated the masked invasion of their territories and the “great replacement” of their populations, something that has no precedent in the past.  - Dominique Venner


Without censorship in the West, fashionable trends of thought are fastidiously separated from those that are not fashionable, and the latter have little chance of finding their way.  - Solzhenitsyn


Donald Trump has proved to be a Great Betrayer—one of the worst in history. We foolishly forgot our inherited wisdom that nothing good can come out of New York.  - Clyde Wilson


We have sung of the soldiers and sailors, but who shall hymn the politicians. - Herman Melville


​“It always makes me proud of my country to see all those fine young men in the U.S. Army.”  - Crooked Yankee banker in the classic film “Stagecoach.”
Hitler did not know that Russia had a winter.  - Churchill

It's really disgusting how Maurice Bessinger's son has turned his back on his father. I understand that he has removed all the heritage items , printed material and flags from all the restaurants

The Great Betrayer indeed - another in a long line. Rather depressing when looking back at Trump's predecessors and trying to find a president worthy of the office. One searches in vain for an approving nod. Sad.

Bernie, the Republican party has been the greatest obstacle to any real conservatism for this century and most of the last
