"Lest we forget at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical: from all our legends, mythology, and history (and who is to know where mythology leaves off and history begins — or which is which), the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom — Lucifer." —Saul Alinsky in his "Rules for Radicals."

And we have room for but one sole loyalty...and that is a loyalty to the American people." —President Theodore Roosevelt, in a letter written January 3, 1919.
