Look, for those people who don't know a lot about history, communism, socialism, the Rules for Radicals written by Saul Alinsky. One of the things he talks about is educating the children. They started in the universities. It trickled down to the high schools, then the junior highs. And now it's right straight out in our face, right in our elementary schools, in our public libraries. They are trying to push—look, everything is an attack on our children. The abortion issue is an attack on our children. They they play it off as women's rights. But it's really about aborting life in the woman—in the mother's womb.” [Fresh Perspective with Jeff Charles, 1/11/23]; 230111_AXS_143_A

The pro-vaccine people will tell you, ‘You need to get vaccinated so you don’t infect other people’ without a thought for your health or of the possible negative side effects or how it might go against you moral or religious choices. These are just a few examples that illustrate what Thomas Paine was talking about. Though their arguments are noble causes, it doesn’t make them right or not tyrannical.” [American Sheriff: Rules to Live By, pgs 99-100, 9/24/22]
