Paul Weyrich citáty a výroky

„Spojené státy se rychle blíží tomu, že se z nich stane stát se zcela převládající cizí ideologií, která je silně nepřátelská vůči západní kultuře. Poprvé za svého života si lidé musí dávat pozor na to, co říkají. To se v historii naší země ještě nikdy nestalo. Ale řeknete-li dnes "něco špatně", můžete mít právní problémy, politické problémy, můžete dokonce ztratit zaměstnání nebo vás vyloučí ze školy. Určitá témata jsou zakázaná. U celé řady témat se k pravdě nesmíte ani přiblížit. Když to uděláte, označí vás okamžitě za "rasistu", "sexistu", "homofoba", "necitlivého" nebo "plného předsudků."“

Paul Weyrich: Citáty anglicky

“I believe that we probably have lost the culture war. That doesn't mean the war is not going to continue, and that it isn't going to be fought on other fronts. But in terms of society in general, we have lost. This is why, even when we win in politics, our victories fail to translate into the kind of policies we believe are important.Therefore, what seems to me a legitimate strategy for us to follow is to look at ways to separate ourselves from the institutions that have been captured by the ideology of Political Correctness, or by other enemies of our traditional culture. I would point out to you that the word "holy" means "set apart," and that it is not against our tradition to be, in fact, "set apart." You can look in the Old Testament, you can look at Christian history. You will see that there were times when those who had our beliefs were definitely in the minority and it was a band of hardy monks who preserved the culture while the surrounding society disintegrated.What I mean by separation is, for example, what the homeschoolers have done. Faced with public school systems that no longer educate but instead "condition" students with the attitudes demanded by Political Correctness, they have seceded. They have separated themselves from public schools and have created new institutions, new schools, in their homes.”

Letter to Amy Ridenour, National Center for Public Policy Research http://www.nationalcenter.org/Weyrich299.html (1999-02-16)

“So many of our Christians have what I call the goo-goo syndrome: good government. They want everybody to vote. I don't want everybody to vote. Elections are not won by a majority of people, they never have been from the beginning of our country and they are not now. As a matter of fact, our leverage in the elections quite candidly goes up as the voting populace goes down.”
