"denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism"
"There are reminders to all Americans that they need to watch what they say..."
-Ari Fleischer

"Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy.

All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger."

-Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials

3. I have Herman Goering's quote on my office wall.
Every once in a while someone will stop and read it, then walk away shaking their head. Scary stuff...

4. Field tested, proven effective!
Obviously ole Prescott took detailed notes while he was profiting from their war machine.
