Franklin D. Roosevelt stated of Hitler, December 15, 1941:
"Government to him is not the servant ... of the people but their absolute master and the dictator of their every act ...

Calvin Coolidge stated: "In its main feature the Declaration of Independence is a great spiritual document ... Equality, liberty, popular sovereignty, the rights of man - these are not elements which we can see and touch ... They have their source and their roots in the religious convictions ... Unless the faith of the American in these religious convictions is to endure, the principles of our Declaration will perish. We cannot continue to enjoy the result if we neglect and abandon the cause ... If anyone wishes to deny their truth ... the only direction in which he can proceed ... is ... backward toward the time when there was no equality, no rights of the individual, no rule of the people ..

Dwight explained Voltaire's tactics:
"In societies of Illuminati ... the being of God was denied and ridiculed ...
The possession of property was pronounced robbery.
Chastity and natural affection were declared to be nothing more than groundless prejudices.
Adultery, assassination, poisoning, and other crimes of the like infernal nature, were taught as lawful ... provided the end was good ...
The good ends proposed by the Illuminati ... are the overthrow of religion, government, and human society, civil and domestic.
Taft stated: "The President can exercise NO power which cannot fairly be traced to some specific grant of power in the Constitution or act of Congress."
