"There exists among us by ordinary — both North and South — a profound conviction that the South is another land, sharply differentiated from the rest of the American nation, and exhibiting within itself a remarkable homogeneity.... This is not to suggest that the land does not display an enormous diversity within its borders. Anyone may see that it does simply by riding along any of the great new motor roads which spread across it — through brisk towns with tall white buildings in Nebraska Gothic; through smart suburbs, with their faces newly washed; through industrial and Negro slums, medieval in dirt and squalor and wretchedness, in all but redeeming beauty; past sleepy old hamlets and wide fields and black men singing their sad songs in the cotton, past log cabin and high grave houses, past hill and swamp and plain.... Nevertheless, if it can be said there are many Souths, the fact remains that there is also one South. That is to say, it is easy to trace throughout the region... a fairly definite mental pattern, associated with a fairly definite social pattern — a complex of established relationships and habits of thought, sentiments, prejudices, standards and values, and associations of ideas, which, if it is not common strictly to every group of white people in the South, is still common in one appreciable measure or another, and m some part or another, to all but relatively negligible ones.It is no product of Cloud-Cuckoo-Town, of course, but proceeds from the common American heritage, and many of its elements are readily recognizable as being simply variations on the primary American theme. To imagine it existing outside this continent would be quite impossible. But for all that, the peculiar history of the South has so greatly modified it from the general American norm that, when viewed as a whole, it decisively justifies the notion that the country is — not quite a nation within a nation, but the next thing to it."

"Struggle is an elemental part of nature. Without struggle civilizations wither and die. To remain young and virile, civilizations must be watered by blood and tears.... Why do we advocate gas chambers for traitors? The extent of traitors' conspiracy requires a large scale method of execution. Also the tradition exemplified by gas chambers drives traitors frantic and helps expose them.... One of the great jokes of modern times is the way National Socialists utilize the institutions of liberalism to destroy said institutions. An example is our "use" of the American Civil Liberties Union. The ACLU is forced to give us legal aid. If they do not help us it makes it apparent that they are only interested in defending the "liberties" of left-wing groups. The sword with which we smite the ACLU is double-edged. Firstly they have to give legal aid to Nazis whom they hate and secondly they lose much support. A good deal of their contributions come from Jews. It can be well imagined that Jews do not relish paying legal fees for Nazis. Therefore contributions to the ACLU drop. Mass psychology. The mass is decidedly feminine. They admire strength and force. The masses say no, but what they mean is force me to say yes to what I really want but won't admit. And about the "Jewish motivation": The startling answer to the Jewish enigma is that the Jews are insane. The Jews as a race are paranoid. This sick people must be stopped before they drag the world down with them."

"Psychologically, this man is essentially an immature, emotional, unstable person who is engaged in much childish fantasy. He tends toward impulsive actions and is obviously unable to handle stress in a mature manner. I do believe that he is pretending to be more disturbed than he is. However, it is unlikely that punishment or counseling would help this condition. The immaturity is of such severity and such chronicity that his retention in service will only result in further failure to adjust. [...] It should be noted that in spite of his seemingly peculiar behavior he is not psychotic and is not truly suicidal. In my opinion, the soldier is not insane, possesses sufficient mental capacity to know the difference between right and wrong, should be able to adhere to the right and refrain from the wrong and is considered to be mentally responsible for his acts. This condition is not amenable to hospitalization, treatment, disciplinary action, training, transfer to another station or organization or reclassification to another type of duty. This soldier has no mental or physical disease or defect which warrants disposition through medical channels. Recommendation: It is recommended that no further attempt at rehabilitation of this soldier be made since it is believed that he is useless to the service and further such attempts should be of no avail. This soldier should be placed before a board of officers with a view to separation from the service under the provisions of Art. 635–209 because of unsuitability."
