"As you may know, I belong to no organizations. I seek no followers. I ask for no donations. In exchange for these writings, I ask only an open mind and a brief indulgence. In my own way, I am trying to make a difference, to touch lives. I think I am doing that and, for that, I am grateful.
"I am perceived as not being extreme enough for their tastes. They are right, of course. In particular, my family keeps me well grounded in Middle America, for which I am thankful."
"Because I defended the Aryan Nations, skinheads thought I was a skinhead in drag for the longest time, then angrily denounced me when they learned otherwise."
"Fundamentalist Christians condemn me for taking a stand against Zionists"
"Christian Identity adherents and right-wing whack jobs condemn me for refusing to preach that blacks are the literal offspring of Satan and, most recently, for not demanding that all homosexuals be shot on sight, even the ones that can't be seen, oddly enough."
"It's not enough that I preach racial separation from Blacks, Mexicans and Jews for reasons of physical and fiscal safety and that I support my beliefs with an articulable rationale rooted in reality, which nobody else does. I am supposed to hate every race, for no rational reason whatsoever. For this failing, I am occasionally labeled enemy by some Movement members, if you can believe it."
"To many in the Movement, it is not enough that I have put my money, my life, my reputation and my family's safety on the line to defend those as politically incorrect as Richard Butler and the Aryan Nations. It isn't enough that I defend the free speech rights of everybody else, almost all of whom have beliefs with which I personally disagree. Oddly enough, I am not supposed to have beliefs of my own which are contrary to their own."
"Though I have given thousands of hours pro bono (for free) to defend and advise the politically incorrect and have thereby abandoned all hope ever of earning a living as a lawyer again, for some I am not committed enough to "the cause." Why? Because I don't think exactly like they do. And a multiplicity of factions in the Movement expect this of me, to the exclusion of their many enemies within the Movement itself. "
"Here's the shocker: despite all the negatives I just outlined, I still get along with far more of those in the Movement than almost anybody else. Imagine how some must feel."
"As I said recently at the IHR Conference in Sacramento, if we can't afford VNN and Alex Linder their full and unfettered right to free speech, then how can we in the Movement really expect the same from the rest of America or the world? That very call for tolerance actually provoked an outbreak of condemnation from some Movement members during the following conference break!"
"If you can't accept me for my positives, despite my perceived negatives, let alone all the other, far more radical, factions in the Movement, how can ordinary America ever feel comfortable with you? Friendship is accepting another despite his or her deficits, not because they are just like you."
"In fairness, I must acknowledge the presence of federal and ADL disruptors. They are common to all dissident organizations. Often, I sometimes think there are more of them in any given room than honest adherents. Look around and identify those who lash out most often at every person who attains prominence in the Movement, always attempting to divide us and bring low those who seem the most effective. Simple logic tells you who the paid disruptors are, doesn't it? Especially, look at those without apparent means of support; people with no apparent personal support group, like a family. They can, and should, be shouted down and cast aside."
"New America's leaders and organizations will be formed from ordinary Americans"
We're not haters, we're educators!
We're not here to spew hate,
We're here to Educate!
If you worship your enemy, you are defeated.
If you adopt your enemy's religion, you are enslaved.
If you breed with your enemy, you are destroyed.
Lots of food for thought herein. I think Steele has a better grasp on the big picture than most of the personalities in the "Movement."
