Bill: Self - Survivalist

Quotes 

• Bill - Survivalist : What we are basically involved in is isolationism, survival, and going back, if you will, to the movie "Little House on the Prairie," where the family is the dominant factor in our lives. We've gotten away from the influences of the drugs and the city. It's also freedom from regulation. You can shoot a gun off the front porch. A feller can even, eh, invite who he wants to up here and keep out who he don't.

• Herb - Survivalist : [Bill finishes his target practice]  You got one left in the chamber.

  Bill - Survivalist : I know there is. I leave that for rattlesnakes.

  Herb - Survivalist : The kind that crawl on the belly and the kind that walk on on their feet.

• Bill - Survivalist : There ain't much to do up here. There's - eh - you got to make your own liquor. You got - eh - women are kinda scarce, wouldn't you say?

  Herb - Survivalist : Pretty ones.

  Bill - Survivalist : Pretty ones. And, eh, but, it's the greatest country in the world. It really is. And it makes you appreciate America and what God gave us.

• Bill - Survivalist : There's a lot of people wanting to survive like we do and they're coming back into the woods. There's people who are becoming more and more conservative. I'm one of 'em. My son's one of 'em.

• Bill - Survivalist : You know, one of the, eh, ways to avert a nuclear war, is to make ourselves so dog gone powerful, nuclear weapon-wise, that we, eh, no longer have any fear of anybody attacking us because of the fear of retaliation. We've allowed ourselves to become weak - in our nuclear arsenal. So, it's high time that this country take an isolationist viewpoint and get on with getting itself the strongest nation in the world; because, you can't trust the Communists. Quote. End quote.
