NiFe II-- Directive
Peterson: "I became a conservative after a deeply profound spiritual awakening at which point I repented of my anger, and God allowed me to see reality."
Peterson: "It is the responsibility of men and women of God to tell the truth."
Peterson: "As a result of the absence and weakness of black men, blacks have allowed every ungodly thing to influence their communities."
Peterson: "White guilt and the fear of speaking up concerning issues of race and morality is costing this nation greatly."
Peterson: "Most blacks have lost the moral authority to claim the mantle of civil rights because they refuse to stand for what is right."
Peterson: "We must demand that blacks work, stop making babies out of wedlock, and raise their children."
Peterson: "Spike Lee is openly contemptuous of whites and what he implies to be a white establishment out to get him. Lee's films have grossed in the hundreds of millions. Whites have contributed greatly to this sum, though he seemingly cannot stand them. Hypocritical?"
Peterson: "We must end welfare programs that devalue men and spoil women."
Peterson: "The crime and violence in the black community is a prime example of the damaging effect of broken families and single female-headed households."
Peterson: "Throughout American history, whites have played a significant role in helping blacks secure freedom and equality."
Peterson: "When I was growing up in Alabama in the '50s, even though we were poor and the laws were against blacks, we still had a sense of morality."
Peterson: "Homosexuality is not about love, it's not about family, and it's not about civil rights."
Peterson: "The false black preacher is only too happy to reinforce the idea of the white man as scapegoat. His sermons make the congregation angrier and more bitter. And the angrier they become, the easier it is for the minister to control them."
