“No people can long enjoy more liberty than that to which their situation and advanced intelligence and morals fairly entitle them.”
“Liberty then when forced on a people unfit for it, would, instead of a blessing, be a curse; as it would, in its reaction, lead directly to anarchy-the greatest of all curses. (Every politician ought to read John C. Calhoun and then they would realize the folly of forcing democracy down the throats of Arabs and Africans!)
“Although it may be true that people may not have as much liberty as they are fairly entitled to, and are capable of enjoying, yet the reverse is unquestionably true, – that no people can long possess more liberty than they are fairly entitled to.”
“Liberty, indeed, though among the greatest of blessings, is not so great as that of protection; inasmuch as the end of the former is the progress and improvement of the RACE, – while that of the latter is preservation and perpetuation. And hence, when the two come into conflict, liberty must, and ever ought, to yield to protection; AS THE EXISTENCE OF THE RACE IS OF GREATER MOMENT THAN ITS IMPROVEMENT!”( I guess Calhoun has now answered what is most important, the urge towards liberty or the urge towards white racial preservation, should these two ever come into conflict!)
“I follows from what has been stated, that it is a great and dangerous error to suppose that all people are equally entitled to liberty. It is a reward to be earned, not a blessing to be gratuitously lavished on all alike; a reward for the intelligent, the patriotic, the virtuous and deserving; and not a boon to be bestowed on a people too ignorant, degraded and vicious, to be capable of appreciating or of enjoying it.(So much for modern day multiracial democracy, eh?)
“Providence has reserved it, as the noblest and highest reward for the development of our faculties, moral and intellectual. A reward more appropriate than liberty could not be conferred on the deserving; nor a punishment inflicted on the undeserving more just, than to be subject to lawless and despotic rule. This dispensation seems to be the result of some fixed law; – and every effort to disturb or defeat it, BY ATTEMPTING TO ELEVATE A PEOPLE IN THE SCALE OF state is, the social and political- the one for which the creator made him, and the only one in which he can preserve and protect his race.”
“Instead of being born free and equal, men are born subject, not only to parental authority, but to the laws and institutions of the country where born and under whose protection they draw their first breath.”
