## Highlights
- Ava explained, “Just throw a little common-core magic pixie dust on them, bake for twelve years in a public school, and out comes fresh-baked lefty logic.” ([Location 2457](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B07SFYHCZM&location=2457))
- Much like their view of the unborn today, Democrats in 1861 did not see people of color as being fully human. ([Location 2548](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B07SFYHCZM&location=2548))
- “But what do I mean when I say a right was wronged? Well, many of you are students of history and know that while slavery was an issue, it was not the initial cause of the conflict. Rather, it was state sovereignty that was the direct catalyst. And when the smoke cleared, that Constitutional right of the States to be independent from an overpowering Federal bureaucracy was gone.

- “A second such disagreement, should it devolve into further acts of physical violence, would be quite different. Geographically, we exist side by side with intolerant people whose worldviews are polar opposite of our own. Even in the most conservative areas, 35 percent of the population holds some variant of the radical-communist views espoused by our opponents. And in the more liberal counties, the opposite is also true. ([Location 2553](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B07SFYHCZM&location=2553))
- Foley peered over Ava’s shoulder. “Like the anarchy ‘A’. Once again, we have the communists, who want absolute government control, contradicting themselves by espousing the symbol which stands for no government. So they posted the secret symbol for anyone to see?” ([Location 4033](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B07SFYHCZM&location=4033))
- “In the Art of War, Sun Tzu said to appear weak when you’re strong. I recommend we let them think we’re unprepared. ([Location 4151](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B07SFYHCZM&location=4151))
- “Sam would always talk about other people who weren’t getting prepared because of what he called normalcy bias. He says they don’t think anything bad can happen to them because nothing bad has ever happened to them before. ([Location 4510](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B07SFYHCZM&location=4510))
- Pain shared is pain divided.” “What’s that supposed to mean?” “It means when you share the pain you feel inside, you shed a chunk of it off. Just talking about it reduces the weight you’ll be packing around in the days and weeks to come. It’s hard to open up, but it really does help.

- If communism takes root in America, it will outlaw churches, Bibles, and Christianity entirely. If it doesn’t this will be the first time in history that a communist revolution hasn’t banned every mention of God. It is a militaristic, atheistic system that does not make compromises or allowances. ([Location 6962](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B07SFYHCZM&location=6962))
- it’s the church’s dereliction of that duty which has put us in the predicament we’re in now. Twenty years ago, the Church could have come together to fight back in the political arena and spared us this battle. But now, it’s too late; blood will be spilled. ([Location 6974](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B07SFYHCZM&location=6974))
- “Don’t worry for me; pray for me.” ([Location 7337](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B07SFYHCZM&location=7337))
