[on Hollywood environmentalists] “A lot of the stars who live in houses 200 times the size of most Americans’ love to express their compassion for Mother Earth. And many who get driven around in stretch Mercedes limousines take great pleasure in preaching about the need to conserve energy. . . . they gather together on days like Earth Day and condemn evil corporate types for wanting to construct buildings, manufacture products and find new supplies of fuel. They seek to preserve the Earth in all of its wilderness glory, as long as it’s outside of their own bulldozed sanctuaries.”
James Hirsen

“Again and again I come across the assertion that a society cannot grow and thrive without a culturally superior stratum which generates the impulse toward excellence and greatness. . . . The happenings in this country refute this assertion . . . . There is evidence on every hand that the vigor and health of a society are determined by the quality of the common people rather than the cultural elite.”
Eric Hoffer

“Ideology is always wrong because it edits reality and paralyzes thought.”
