"What you have to spew and spread is extremely dangerous . . . it's dangerous for our children to even know that your philosophy exists!  "This is the Land of Lincoln where people believe in God.  Get out of that seat . . . You have no right to be here! We believe in something. You believe in destroying! You believe in destroying what this state was built upon."
--Rep. Monique Davis (D-Chicago), April 2, 2008, interrupting atheist activist Rob Sherman during his testimony before the House State Government Administration Committee in Springfield

  "... But I think the number one issue people should make [in the] selection of the President of the United States is, 'Will this person carry on in the Judeo Christian principled tradition that has made this nation the greatest experiment in the history of mankind?' [emphasis added]
  "I admire the Islam. There's a lot of good principles in it. I think one of the great tragedies of the 21st century is that these forces of evil have perverted what's basically an honorable religion. But, no, I just have to say in all candor that since this nation was founded primarily on Christian principles ... personally, I prefer someone who I know who has a solid grounding in my faith. But that doesn't mean that I'm sure that someone who is Muslim would not make a good president. I don't say that we would rule out under any circumstances someone of a different faith. I just would--I just feel that that's an important part of our qualifications to lead."
...
  "I would probably have to say yes, that the Constitution established the United States of America as a Christian nation. But I say that in the broadest sense. The lady that holds her lamp beside the golden door doesn't say, 'I only welcome Christians.' We welcome the poor, the tired, the huddled masses. But when they come here they know that they are in a nation founded on Christian principles.
...
  "I would vote for a Muslim if he or she was the candidate best able to lead the country and defend our political values." [added after the interview concluded]

--Senator John McCain (R-AZ), in an interview with BeliefNet 

“I didn’t come to my understanding of separation of church and state out of study or my intellectual ability, which is limited. I came through it out of experience.”
--former Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore, Speaking at a “God & Country Patriotic Celebration & Conference” in Severn, Md. in July 2007

“We have a republic, and the source of authority in that republic is God. A revolution has happened in America. It has happened over the past 150 years. Evolution is at the bottom of it, and some very un-American people have been and are behind it. The purpose of the revolution is to stop you from being able to think and believe like an American any more…. It’s been a calculated and evil anti-God, anti-Christian revolution.”

--Michael Peroutka, a Pasadena, Md., attorney who ran for president on the U.S. Constitution Party ticket in 2004, Speaking at a “God & Country Patriotic Celebration & Conference”

“Had the Crusades not taken place, within a short time, I think it is fair to say that Europe would have been entirely under Muslim control. The Crusades held them off, and the Crusades bought time in which Christianity could revive and in which the European powers could reassert themselves.”
--John Eidsmoe, a retired Montgomery, Ala., law professor and a professor emeritus at the Jones School of Law at Faulkner University, speaking at a “God & Country Patriotic Celebration & Conference” while dressed in a medieval crusader get-up, including chain mail and a sword

Chastain asked the Lord to sustain the conference attendees for the “battle that is ahead” and that “we might have the courage that Christ can give, the boldness that he requires and also provides, Lord, that we might fight the fight the way you want it fought, that we might hate what you hate, but that we might be godly in our hatred, that we might love what you love, but also be godly in our love; that we may do battle victoriously as Jesus Christ has won the battle. And we know, that you have declared that in his name, everyone should bow.” [emphasis added]
--Rev. Mike Chastain, pastor of Westminster Presbyterian Church, speaking at a “God & Country Patriotic Celebration & Conference”

“I can’t do it; that’s not the purpose of government, folks. Not the purpose of government. The government has no money. It steals it from you and I at gunpoint, and then it redistributes it. The law is what God says it is, first and foremost. The foundation of law. No law created by man that is not in concert with God’s law can be any law at all.”

--Maryland state legislator, Del. Don Dwyer Jr. (R-Anne Arundel), speaking at a “God & Country Patriotic Celebration & Conference” about whether he would push for more funding for schools, roads, bridges and other projects for Anne Arundel County

  “In light of the recent attack from the ememies [sic] of God, I ask the children of God to go into action with Imprecatory Prayer. Especially against Americans United for Seperation [sic] of Church and State…. Specifically target [AU communications staffers] Joe Conn and Jeremy Learing [sic]. They are those who lead the attack. John Calvin gave the church it’s [sic] marching orders from Scripture. The righteous have dominion, but only through imprecatory prayer against the ungodly.

  Quoting Psalms 109 “Let his days be few; and let another take his office. Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow. Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places…. Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children.
  “Please join us, with Bible in hand, and let us do battle against the enemies of God.”

--Pastor, Dr. Wiley S. Drake of First Southern Baptist Church of Buena Park, an Orange County, Calif., congregation, in an August 14, 2007 e-mail appeal to his supporters regarding AU's complaint to the IRS after Drake endorsed Presidential candidate Mike Huckabee using church letterhead and a church-based radio show

“The falsehood of Hinduism was eloquently challenged yesterday by those who know the truth that sets people free – Jesus.... May the hallowed halls and chambers of Congress of the United States of America never again entertain the false religions of this age.”
--Rev. Flip Benham, president of Operation Save America, regarding the July 12, 2007 opening prayer in the Senate by Hindu chaplain Rajan Zed

“No one can legitimately challenge the fact that the God America refers to in the pledge, our national motto and other places is the monotheistic God of the Jewish and Christian faith. There is no historic connection between America and the polytheistic creed of the Hindu faith.”
--Tony Perkins, President of the Family Research Council, regarding the July 12, 2007 opening prayer in the Senate by Hindu chaplain Rajan Zed

“This goes against all history and tradition of our country. This fella does not even believe in one God as the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence speak of…. So we object to this kind of prayer before the United States Senate. The god of popular culture today is tolerance and multi-culturalism, and so I guess the Senate wants to see how far they can go with this idea that all religion and faiths are equal and the same. Hopefully, it won’t happen again.”
--Rev. Tim Wildmon, President of the American Family Association, regarding the July 12, 2007 opening prayer in the Senate by Hindu chaplain Rajan Zed

“In Hindu [sic], you have not one God, but many, many, many, many gods. And certainly that was never in the minds of those who did the Constitution, did the Declaration when they talked about Creator – that’s not one that fits here because we don’t know which creator we’re talking about within the Hindu religion.”
--Christian nation propagandist David Barton, regarding the July 12, 2007 opening prayer in the Senate by Hindu chaplain Rajan Zed


“We have not only a Hindu prayer being offered in the Senate, we have a Muslim member of the House of Representatives now, Keith Ellison from Minnesota. Those are changes – and they are not what was envisioned by the Founding Fathers.”
--U.S. Rep. Bill Sali (R-Idaho) in the August 8, 2007 edition of OneNewsNow, regarding the July 12, 2007 opening prayer in the Senate by Hindu chaplain Rajan Zed

“The idea that somehow we can move to multi-culturalism and still remain the same – I think that’s a little dangerous too. From my standpoint, I believe the Founding Fathers were overwhelmingly Christian and the God they were talking about is the God of the Bible.”
--U.S. Rep. Bill Sali (R-Idaho), in The Idaho Statesman, explaining his previous remarks

  Voter: "You, sir, are a pretender. You don't know the Lord. You are a Mormon."
  Romney: (Chuckling) "Let me, uh, let me offer just a thought. And that is, uh, one of the great things about this great land, is we have people of different faiths and different persuasions. And uh, I'm convinced that the nation, that the nation does need, the nation does need to have people of different faiths, but we need to have a person of faith lead the country." [emphasis added]
--Presidential candidate Mitt Romney, February 16, 2007 at the Lake Miona Regional Recreation Center in the GOP stronghold The Villages, Florida

A flyer being distributed by the U.S. Christians for Truth asks, "Would Jesus Christ vote for Mitt Romney?" It urges attendees to "join us to spread the truth about Mitt Romney and save America from his Mormon cult values."
Matt Rhoades, communications director for Romney, condemned the flyer. "Attacks of religious bigotry have absolutely no place in politics today. It's unfortunate other camps stoop to such levels." [emphasis added]
--From Washington Post blog The Fix, August 11, 2007

"America is a faith-based initiative. We are not endowed by the great thinkers of the Enlightenment but endowed by our Creator ... Anyone who tries to separate American government from faith is doing something profoundly unnatural."
--Joe Lieberman (I-CT), July 23, 2007 at a Christians United for Israel (CUFI) Summit in Washington, D.C.

"Science is a gift of God to all of us and science has taken us to a place that is biblical in its power to cure. And that is the embryonic stem cell research."
--House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, (D-CA)

"It is shameful that Christians would rally around the physical needs of the poor and ignore the deaths of untold millions of babies. Abortion is poverty and the number one priority of our day should be its demise."
--Erik Whittington, American Life League's youth outreach director in a press release June 5, 2007 [How willfully blind do you need to be to not see that reducing/eliminating poverty will greatly reduce abortions?]

“At the end of the day, I believe fully the president is doing the right thing [in Iraq], and I think all we need is some attacks on American soil like we had on [Sept. 11, 2001 ], and the naysayers will come around very quickly to appreciate not only the commitment for President Bush, but the sacrifice that has been made by men and women to protect this country.”
--Republican Party of Arkansas Chairman Dennis Milligan [Gosh darn, if only the U.S. would get attacked again, people might like Dubya once more. SICK!]

  "... The truth is government-run pre-kindergarten programs are another huge burden on taxpayers, and, in fact, they are detrimental to children and our country.
...
  "... One study concluded these programs 'seem to have little or no effect on children's intellectual development or school performance, and they might have negative behavioral consequences for young children.'
...
  "Why, then, do social liberals like Hillary Clinton push so hard for the expansion of preschool programs? Perhaps they understand the truth of Proverbs 22:6 better than most parents: 'Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.' When the mind of a young child is subjected to state control before fundamental concepts and basic beliefs are formulated, the child is much more likely to learn a liberal social and political philosophy with the state as his or her master. Creation and God-given rights are more easily replaced with evolution and government-granted rights. Totalitarian regimes like those of Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin knew well the value of a 'youth corps.' As Hans Schemm, leader of the Nazi Teacher's League, once observed, 'Those who have the youth on their side control the future.'
  "The education of our Founding Fathers offers a stark contrast to the state-run education machine of the 21st century. At a time when state schools did not exist, Americans during the 18th century were the most literate and well-informed in history. ..."
..Roy Moore, former Alabama Chief Justice, May 30, 2007 WorldNetDaily article

“God has spoken to me. I listen to God, and what I’ve heard is that I’m supposed to devote myself to rebuilding the conservative base of the Republican Party, and I think we shouldn’t be underestimated.”
--Tom DeLay, as quoted in the June 4, 2007 issue of The New Yorker

"There is evil in the world, no question about it. I believe Satan, the devil, is behind this … This young man was filled with evil. There’s no way to describe the fact that he could go and murder this many people and do what he did without this man being possessed by an evil spirit who brought this carnage on this university.”
--Franklin Graham, April 18, 2007

  "satan is the author of mental illness...it’s just his minions talking to people’s minds and the misguided medical profession thinking it’s a chemical imbalance. Although there are some doctors who see evil spirits as the cause of mental illness, like Dr. Scott Peck. Satan talks to all of us very often, masquerading as our own thoughts and feelings; always trying to make us irritated and hatefull [sic]. I am seeing that God’s voice is a wordless one...He just gives us sight from our conscience to know reality without a bunch of words in our head."
  "Folks who are unable to see Him, lack that middle ground between the lobes of their brains. There is no psychologic [sic] arbitration or remediation of the two patterns of thoughts, and this is why liberals cannot acknowledge nor comprehend their hypocrisy."
--Comments made after Graham's article

  "Though one can point to Cho's own psychotic behavior and our graphic slasher media as potential contributors to his deplorable murder spree, we must also hesitate to consider how we as a society are possibly contributing to the growth of these academic killing fields. I believe those who wield the baton of the secular progressive agenda bear significant responsibility for the escalation of school shootings. Even conservatives who refuse to speak when evil flourishes must acknowledge some culpability.
  "We teach our children they are nothing more than glorified apes, yet we don't expect them to act like monkeys. We place our value in things, yet expect our children to value people. We disrespect one another, but expect our children to respect others. We terminate children in the womb, but are surprised when children outside the womb terminate other children. We push God to the side, but expect our children to be godly. We've abandoned moral absolutes, yet expect our children to obey the universal commandment, Thou shalt not murder.'
  "Though I respect the Buddhist, Muslim and Jew who shared at the VTU convocation, our country needs to return and call out to the God of our founders, Jesus Christ. ...
  "If we are ever to restore civility in our land and our schools, we must turn back the clocks to a time when such shocking crimes didn't even exist – when we valued life and respected one another much more then we do today. We must use the Bible (humanity's blueprint for life and 'bluebook' for value) to retrain our youth about theirs and others' value as children of God, made in His image.
..." [emphasis added]
--Chuck Norris, April 23, 2007 WorldNetDaily article


"...Today's college campus carnage and infanticide-cum-partial-birth-abortion should call us again to a national soul-searching in which we consider ever more deeply the question, "Why?" In response to that question, we should pose some additional questions here, as we did in the wake of the Columbine disaster.

  1. Activist/liberal federal judges have long been fighting to expunge every vestige of God from our nation's classrooms and public life. Why, therefore, shouldn't our youths assume that there is ultimately no One to whom they are accountable, freeing them to behave as they choose?
  2. Activist/liberal federal judges have long been upholding the exclusive teaching of evolutionism to our youths — that all of us are simply higher forms of animals who have evolved from lower forms. Why, therefore, shouldn't our youths behave like animals?
  3. Activist/liberal federal judges have long been battling to convert abnormal and immoral behavior into conduct that is normal and moral. Why, therefore, shouldn't our youths conclude that other abnormal and immoral conduct, such as homosexuality, is now normal and moral?
  4. Activist/liberal federal judges have long been elevating to a superior constitutional status the "right" of a woman to kill her unborn, or partially-born, child. Why, therefore, shouldn't our youths conclude that they, too, have the right to kill the children around them?

We rightly grieve over the losses of Columbine High School, Virginia Tech, and the abortion chambers still spewing out cauldrons of innocent American blood. We should also grieve over a major cause — America's activist/liberal federal judges who have sown the wind, while our children reap the whirlwind. Surely it is time for us to CURB THE COURTS and reclaim our children and our country." [emphasis in original]
--Virginia Armstrong, Ph.D., National Chairman of Eagle Forum, Court Watch, April 23, 2007

  "In 1961 a U.S. Supreme Court case ignored 300 years of legal precedent and began an assault on Christianity, by banning prayer and later other elements of Christian study from public schools. The religion of secular humanism was protected and allowed, but Christ, prayer, the posting of the Ten Commandments and other Christian documents were hidden from view.

...
  "The United States was clearly founded around Christianity, and every aspect of our society (including our public education system) revolved around it. George Washington once stated, 'you do well to wish to learn our arts and way of life, and above all the religion of Jesus Christ.' Thomas Jefferson said, 'I have always said and always will say that the studious perusal of the sacred volume will make us better citizens.'
...
  "The shooter at Virginia Tech was a madman. However, he had also been raised on a solid diet of secular humanism which teaches no moral absolutes. 'If it feels good, do it,' is one of the many mantras he ingested. Consequently he did what felt good, and innocent people died as a result. Today, we cannot condemn his actions unless we judge what we fed him as a society. What we sow, we also reap. And we will continue to have a bloody harvest until we return to what we know worked to make America great as a nation in the generations before us; the culture, training, and absolute morality of the Christian faith and our Savior Jesus Christ."
--Steven Grant, senior pastor of Destiny Christian Center in Greeley, CO, April 24, 2007 guest commentary in The Greeley Tribune

  "[L]et me just tell you. This is the real deal: If this war is lost, it's Iraqis who lost it. The one thing that drives me up the wall is saying, 'Look at all the deaths you Americans have caused in Iraq.' No! 'Scuse me?
  "We invaded the place, we knocked over Saddam, and then Iraqis began killing each other. They didn't go to the U.S. commander and say, 'Pretty please, may I go kill some Sunnis?' 'Your commandership, sir, may I go kill some Shia?' No. They just went on a killing spree of their own and it's not our fault. And the war is lost are contemptible words. Contemptible.

...
  "The Bremer period is going to take the fall on the Iraq story -- dismantling the Baathist organization, not letting anybody who was a Baathist run the electric system or the sewage system or the garbage pickup or any of that stuff. They're going to take the hit on it. And the Bremer period where they disbanded the army, that's going to take the hit on it -- I guarantee you.
  "But, and that's a mistake, I agree that was a mistake, but who is doing this killing? Give me a break. These are Iraqis killing each other. So what did we do? If you're saying it's our fault that we unmasked them as knuckle-dragging savages from the 10th century -- fine! I'll take credit."

--John Gibson, April 23, 2007 broadcast of Fox News Radio's The John Gibson Show

  "Call me this generation's Joe McCarthy; I really don't care – I'm tired of watching people hold back in their assessment of what Democrat [sic] Party leaders are doing with regard to our troops and their missions in the war on terrorism.
  "A number of Democrats are engaging in actions that seem to me to be nothing short of treason against our nation, and it's time they be held accountable for their actions.

...
  "These Democrat [sic] leaders are literally helping to kill U.S. troops and endanger American civilians simply so they can try to score political points in the middle of a war."
--Melanie Morgan, Chairman of Move America Forward, April 13, 2007 article in WorldNetDaily 

  "When you are rioting for these tickets, or these ATM cards, the second thing that came to mind was -- and this is horrible to say, and I wonder if I'm alone in this -- you know it took me about a year to start hating the 9-11 victims' families? Took me about a year. And I had such compassion for them, and I really wanted to help them, and I was behind, you know, 'Let's give them money, let's get this started.' All of this stuff. And I really didn't -- of the 3,000 victims' families, I don't hate all of them. Probably about 10 of them. And when I see a 9-11 victim family on television, or whatever, I'm just like, 'Oh shut up!' I'm so sick of them because they're always complaining. And we did our best for them. And, again, it's only about 10.
  "But the second thought I had when I saw these people and they had to shut down the Astrodome and lock it down, I thought: I didn't think I could hate victims faster than the 9-11 victims. These guys -- you know it's really sad. We're not hearing anything about Mississippi. We're not hearing anything about Alabama. We're hearing about the victims in New Orleans. This is a 90,000-square-mile disaster site, New Orleans is 181 square miles. A hundred and -- 0.2 percent of the disaster area is New Orleans! And that's all we're hearing about, are the people in New Orleans. Those are the only ones we're seeing on television are the scumbags -- and again, it's not all the people in New Orleans. Most of the people in New Orleans got out! It's just a small percentage of those who were left in New Orleans, or who decided to stay in New Orleans, and they're getting all the attention. It's exactly like the 9-11 victims' families. There's about 10 of them that are spoiling it for everybody."
--Glenn Beck, September 9, 2006 broadcast of The Glenn Beck Program

  "Yeah, process of becoming a woman -- psychopath. [She] should have been in a back ward in a straitjacket for years, howling on major medication.
...
  "... I am so beyond fed up with freaks. I live in freak city. You know, I don't mind freaks. I used to go to Ringling Brothers when I was a little kid, and the freak show was my favorite part of the circus. I didn't go there to mock them. I liked to see the one-breasted man. I liked to see the mustached woman.
  "But when I wake up as an adult and I find out that they're actually all Democrats today, passing themselves off as normal, I'm sorry, someone's gotta say this is a freak show, time out. And what's this sympathy, constant sympathy for sexually confused people? Why should we have constant sympathy for people who are freaks in every society? I didn't say hurt the freaks. I didn't say do anything to the freaks.
  "But you know what? You're never gonna make me respect the freak. I don't want to respect the freak. The freak ought to be glad that they're allowed to walk around without begging for something. You know, I'm sick and tired of the whole country begging, bending over backwards for the junkie, the freak, the pervert, the illegal immigrant. All of them are better than everybody else. Sick. Everything is upside down."
--Michael Savage, March 20, 2007 edition of Savage Nation, commenting on a report detailing  the murder of a transgender woman outside San Francisco

  "I don't like a woman married to a woman. It makes me want to puke. ... I want to vomit when I hear it. I think it's child abuse. That's my opinion -- one man's opinion. If it's illegal, tell me it's illegal to have an opinion in America. Maybe I can be excommunicated for having an opinion.
  "I want to puke when I hear about a woman married to a woman raising children because, frankly, I think that it's child abuse to do that to children without their permission. What does a child know? Ask them when they're 16 whether they want to be raised by two lesbians or two men. What are the two men doing behind the other wall? You think the children don't hear it?
  "You know, everything's sanitized for you. Islamofascism is sanitized. You don't know what they really do. Go on my website, you'll see what they really do to people. You'll hear the holler and the scream of people dying. You want to know what homosexuals do with each other? You don't have to guess, you can figure it out.
  "What are you people crazy? What world do you live in? Every day, brainwashing 'til you don't know the difference between right and wrong, family and a fake family, real science and morons who are on drugs inventing science -- science fiction, that is. You don't know anything anymore in this country. You've been brainwashed by the liberal elite -- the establishment -- if you want to call them elite. How can you call drug addicts elite?"
--Michael Savage, February 26, 2007 edition of Savage Nation, commenting on Melissa Etheridge's acceptance speech at the Academy Awards in which she thanked her wife and four children

  "But basically, if you're talking about a day like today, Martin Luther King Junior Day, and you're gonna understand what civil rights has become, the con it's become in this country. It's a whole industry; it's a racket. It's a racket that is used to exploit primarily heterosexual, Christian, white males' birthright and steal from them what is their birthright and give it to people who didn't qualify for it.
  "Take a guess out of whose hide all of these rights are coming. They're not coming out of women's hides. Are they? No, there's only one group that's targeted, and that group are white, heterosexual males. They are the new witches being hunted by the illiberal left using the guise of civil rights and fairness to women and whatnot."

--Michael Savage, January 15, 2007 edition of Savage Nation


"And I want to tell you something, and I'm going to say it to you loud and clear. The radical homosexual agenda will not stop until religion is outlawed in this country. Make no mistake about it. They're all not nice decorators. You better get it through your head before it's too late. They threaten your very survival. They went after the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church is now caving into the homosexual mafia. They will not stop until they force their agenda down your throats. Gay marriage is just the tip of the iceberg. They want full and total subjugation of this society to their agenda. Now, if you want that and if you don't think it's a threat -- believe me, that is what's going to occur in this country."
--Michael Savage, November 13, 2006 edition of Savage Nation

"In fact, Christianity has been one of the great salvations on planet Earth. It's what's necessary in the Middle East. Others have written about it, I think these people need to be forcibly converted to Christianity but I'll get here a little later, I'll move up to that. It's the only thing that can probably turn them into human beings."
--Michael Savage, May 12, 2004 edition of Savage Nation

“We should replace bilingual education with immersion in English so people learn the common language of the country and they learn the language of prosperity, not the language of living in a ghetto.”
--Newt Gingrich, March 31, 2007 speech to the National Federation of Republican Women

"Teenagers deserve an opportunity to study English, history, math, and science -- without being subjected to pro-homosexual proselytizing sanctioned by school authorities. Students shouldn't be forced to self-censor or adopt beliefs contrary to those of their parents and places of worship.  Even the strongest of our junior high and high school children are not equipped to serve as frontline soldiers in this culture war."
--Linda Harvey of Mission America, a member of the coalition www.NotOurKids.com, which is calling upon parents to keep their children home from school on April 18 to avoid GLSEN's "Day of Silence," in which students and some supportive faculty intentionally remain silent throughout the school day to protest oppression of homosexuals.  [Being around silent "proselytizing" is just too dangerous for students, but boisterous anti-gay rhetoric is harmless.  Those wingnuts has come unscrewed!]

  "Women in combat are a hazard to other people around them.  They aren't tall enough to see out of the trucks, they're not strong enough to carry their buddy off the battlefield if he's wounded, and they can't bark out orders loudly enough for everyone to hear."
  "By getting married, the woman has consented to sex, and I don't think you can call it rape."
--Phyllis Schlafly, President of the Eagle Forum, March 28, 2007 at Bates College in a lecture titled "Conservativism vs. Feminism: The Great Debate"

"There is no greater privilege than suffering for your defense of the Gospel."
--Rev. Jerry Falwell, March 2007 [So why complain about Xian "persecution?"  Just as there'd be no Xianity without Judas, there'd be no "true" Xians today without antagonists causing them to suffer for their saviour.  I think we deserve a hearty THANK YOU from the rotund Reverend.]


"GO BACK TO AFRICA AND DO YOUR GAY VOODOO LIMBO TANGO AND WANGO DANCE AND JUMP AROUND AND PRANCE AND RUN ALL OVER THE PLACE HALF NAKED THERE."
-- U.S. Army recruiter Sgt. Marcia Ramode, using her military email
address to respond to Jersey City resident Corey Andrew, after Ramode
learned Andrew was gay.  Copies of the entire e-mails are here and here and here

  "Well, ladies and gentlemen, there you've got it.  It's interesting, isn't it, uh, you know, the, uh, Protestant churches, there's no doctrine of faith that I know of in any Protestant denomination that calls for the takeover of the government and making other people second-class citizens.  I don't know of one denomination, Protestant or Catholic that has that agenda.

  "Uh, but yet Islam has just that agenda that they want to take over the government and then everybody else is a second-class citizen.  That is the primary doctrine of Islam and when Islamic people take over, before long the want to institute Sharia, or the law according to the Koran which has to do with cutting off the hands of thieves and stoning adulterous women to death and all the rest of it.
  "The people you're seeing it's the moderate face of Islam.  Do they really believe in what the Koran says or not?  But I'll tell you, there, uh, are a couple of books written about England, While England Slept, and so forth that both Churchill and John F. Kennedy weighed in on this issue and warned what happens when you go to sleep in the presence of a threat.
  "And if the Christians don’t get involved—We’ve been harassed by People for the American Way, we have been harassed by Americans United for the Separation of Church and State, we have been harassed by the federal court system, but if the Christians won’t stand up and not worry about the IRS, not worry about whether you’re going to lose your tax exemption, not worry about whatever because you’re going to lose your country if Christians don’t mobilize and vote.
  "Christians are in the majority, but they're giving up the majority and a dedicated minority has the ability to take over power in this country.  They can take over the caucuses of parties, they can take over the party conventions and they can nominate the people of their choice and then they can raise the money to put that person in.  It's one of those things and the people you see, they're lovely people, they, they're handsome-looking people and they sound so, uh, moderate, but are they Muslims or are they not?
  "If they were really dedicated Muslims they would believe in takeover and they'd believe that anybody that is not Muslim is a second-class citizen.  You look in Saudi Arabia now, a Christian can't even build a house higher than a Muslim, I mean it goes, the discrimination is unbelievable.  And much of the Muslim activity in America is being financed by the extreme Wahabi sect in Saudi America, uh, Saudi Arabia.  It's a fact of life, it's the way it is.  I'm not being discriminatory, it's just the way it is, that's what they believe.  Now these moderates, do they say, 'We don't believe that?'  They haven't said it."

  "Well, the curse of God is to bring in people who don’t share your point of view and then ultimately destroy your civilization.  Well, that’s what we’re facing for our children and grandchildren.”
--Pat Robertson, The 700 Club, March 20, 2007, warning about Muslims becoming involved in U.S. politics

  "Last month Keith (Hakim Mohammad) Ellison of Minnesota became the first Muslim elected to serve in the United States Congress and shocked many Americans by declaring that he would take his oath of office by placing his hand on the Quran rather than the Bible. Can a true believer in the Islamic doctrine found in the Quran swear allegiance to our Constitution? Those who profess a sincere belief in Allah say 'no!'"
...
  "To support the Constitution of the United States one must uphold an underlying principle of that document, liberty of conscience, which is the right of every person to worship God according to the dictates of his conscience, without interference by the government. ... It was a specific God who endowed us with a freedom of conscience with which government could not interfere."
  "The Islamic faith rejects our God and believes that the state must mandate the worship of its own god, Allah. ...  "
  "Islamic law is simply incompatible with our law. ...  "
...
  "Our Constitution states, "Each House [of Congress] shall be the judge ... of the qualifications of its own members." Enough evidence exists for Congress to question Ellison's qualifications to be a member of Congress as well as his commitment to the Constitution in view of his apparent determination to embrace the Quran and an Islamic philosophy directly contrary to the principles of the Constitution. But common sense alone dictates that in the midst of a war with Islamic terrorists we should not place someone in a position of great power who shares their doctrine. In 1943, we would never have allowed a member of Congress to take their oath on "Mein Kampf," or someone in the 1950s to swear allegiance to the "Communist Manifesto." Congress has the authority and should act to prohibit Ellison from taking the congressional oath today!"
--Roy Moore, December 13, 2006 in WorldNetDaily.  [Let's see, we all have freedom of conscience, given by Moore's god, that allows us to worship as we see fit without government interference, but that "freedom" can only be used to worship Moore's god or the government can interfere and prevent a democratically elected representative from serving in the U.S. government]

SEAN HANNITY: Alright, let me ask you. Because, you — when you said about the Department of Education — you want to abolish it — when you said that the teachers unions is more dangerous to this country in the long term –

NEAL BOORTZ: In the long term, yeah.

HANNITY: Than al Qaeda.

BOORTZ: Right. Look, Al Qaeda, they could bring in a nuke into this country and kill 100,000 people with a well-placed nuke somewhere. Ok. We would recover from that. It would be a terrible tragedy, but the teachers unions in this country can destroy a generation.

HANNITY: They are.

BOORTZ: Well, they are destroying a generation.

HANNITY: They are ruining our school system.

BOORTZ: They’re much more dangerous. We worry about al Qaeda and we should. But at the same time let’s not let the teachers union skate.

HANNITY: They destroyed our school system, and we don’t do anything. The parents — why there aren’t people rising up against it is unbelievable.

"There is another way, or other ways, to look at the race issue in America. Africa at the time of slavery was still primarily a jungle… . Life there was savage … and those brought to America, and other countries, were in many ways better off."

  "...a serious war is being waged against a group of Americans. I am certain that if we lose this war, the consequences for American civilization will be dire.
  "Phase one of this war I describe is a propaganda blitzkrieg that is eerily reminiscent of how effectively the Goebbels propaganda machine softened up the German people for what was to come.
  "There is no better term than propaganda blitzkrieg to describe what has been unleashed against Christian conservatives recently."
[...]
  "...Fervent zealots of secularism are flinging themselves into this anti-Christian war with enormous fanaticism.
  "If they succeed, Christianity will be driven underground, and its benign influence on the character of America will be lost. In its place we shall see a sinister secularism that menaces Bible believers of all faiths. Once the voice of the Bible has been silenced, the war on Western Civilization can begin and we shall see a long night of barbarism descend on the West.

“I personally think that our black citizens should get over it. By golly, we’re living in 2007. Nobody can justify slavery today, but it’s counterproductive to dwell on that. Political correctness has kind of gotten us into this area.”

"In order to have babies, you’ve got to have a hope in the future … If you don’t believe in God, if you have an existential view of life, if this life is all there is, then, as Peggy Lee sang 'why don’t we break out the booze and have a ball?' Why do we go to all that trouble? It’s only those with strong religious faith who have children. That’s the truth."
--Pat Robertson, The 700 Club, January 11, 2007

  "You know, this country is founded on a principle that -- and the courts have talked about this, Sean -- called ceremonial deism. This is as common understanding of the civic religion of America.
  "And part of that is within the Judeo -- it really is within the Judeo- Christian tradition. And what I think the congressman should have done in this particular situation -- if he was objecting to taking an oath on the Bible, we don't have a religious oath requirement in the United States. And I think that's in the Constitution. That's clear.
  "He should have just abstained from using a book at all, because once you go down this road, the danger is, once you get outside of our ceremonial deism, our commonality, what you end up with is anything goes at that point.
  "And you've had this discussion on previous aspects of the program, where, does someone that finds a particular book that many of us might find offensive to be something they're influenced by, do they get to use that as the oath of office for the swearing in? And I think the answer has to be no.
  "That's why we start the Supreme Court of the United States with "God save the United States and this honorable court." It doesn't mean everybody agrees with that. It doesn't mean everybody believes in it. But that's the commonality of a religious heritage, of a religious experience.
  "And let's not start rewriting it. That's the danger with what Congress -- the congressman did here. I would have thought the better thing for him have to done was just not take an oath on a particular book, if he's going to go outside of the American tradition."

--Jay Sekulow, Chief Counsel of the American Center for Law and Justice, talking about Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN), January 8, 2007

  "... Research is now showing that when you feed your baby soy formula, you're giving him or her the equivalent of five birth control pills a day. [emphasis in original]
[...]
  "Soy is feminizing, and commonly leads to a decrease in the size of the penis, sexual confusion and homosexuality. That's why most of the medical (not socio-spiritual) blame for today's rise in homosexuality must fall upon the rise in soy formula and other soy products. (Most babies are bottle-fed during some part of their infancy, and one-fourth of them are getting soy milk!) Homosexuals often argue that their homosexuality is inborn because 'I can't remember a time when I wasn't homosexual.' No, homosexuality is always deviant. But now many of them can truthfully say that they can't remember a time when excess estrogen wasn't influencing them."
--James Rutz of Megashift Ministries, December 12, 2006 WorldNetDaily Column 

"You know, it’s a little bit ridiculous that we continue to watch these TV stars and movie stars who smear our leaders. I just wonder, Rob, if you’ll think for a moment, what our enemies think of seeing TV personalities compare the outgoing defense secretary to Adolph Hitler. I mean, you know, conservatives never get a pass. Strom Thurmond is wished a happy birthday by Trent Lott and the sky falls in on Trent Lott. But Joy Behar goes on national TV and compares a good man like Rumsfeld to the evilest in the world and nobody, you know, there’s no repercussions for Joy Behar. I think we should round up all of these folks. Round up Joy Behar. Round up Matt Damon, who last night on MSNBC attacked George Bush and Dick Cheney. Round up Olbermann. Take the whole bunch of them and put them in a detention camp until this war is over, because they’re a bunch of traitors."
--Conservative talk radio host Mike Gallagher, December 19, 2006 on Fox News

  "Thank you for your recent communication. When I raise my hand to take the oath on Swearing In Day, I will have the Bible in my other hand. I do not subscribe to using the Koran in any way. The Muslim Representative from Minnesota was elected by the voters of that district and if American citizens don’t wake up and adopt the Virgil Goode position on immigration there will likely be many more Muslims elected to office and demanding the use of the Koran. We need to stop illegal immigration totally and reduce legal immigration and end the diversity visas policy pushed hard by President Clinton and allowing many persons from the Middle East to come to this country. I fear that in the next century we will have many more Muslims in the United States if we do not adopt the strict immigration policies that I believe are necessary to preserve the values and beliefs traditional to the United States of America and to prevent our resources from being swamped.
  "The Ten Commandments and 'In God We Trust' are on the wall in my office. A Muslim student came by the office and asked why I did not have anything on my wall about the Koran. My response was clear, 'As long as I have the honor of representing the citizens of the 5th District of Virginia in the United States House of Representatives, The Koran is not going to be on the wall of my office.' Thank you again for your email and thoughts."

--Rep. Virgil Goode (R-VA), in a letter sent out to select supporters earlier this month [December 2006] reacting to the controversy over Muslim representative-elect Keith Ellison's (D-MN) decision to be sworn in on the Koran

  "The Islamists smell weakness in the West and are attacking us on several fronts at once: one, through outright war; two, through immigration; three, through their propaganda disseminated through the liberal media and four, through the liberal courts. Only a devastating military blow against the hearts of Islamic terror coupled with an outright ban on Muslim immigration, laws making the dissemination of enemy propaganda illegal, and the uncoupling of the liberal ACLU can save the United States. I would also make the construction of mosques illegal in America and the speaking of English only in the streets of the United States the law.

  "Now, this thing at the airport last week was a complete and total assault upon our civil rights and those who did it used the Trojan horse of civil rights. These so-called imams, if you want to call them that -- I don't know what they're imams of -- but the so-called scholars who put that stunt on used the Trojan horse of civil rights in order to assault our civil rights. Make no mistake about it. We have to get rid of these kind of Islamic radicals. There is no question in my mind that this was an illegitimate assault upon our civil rights and upon our own survival.
  "Now, we need the FBI to be strong against them. We need the Justice Department to stand up to these imams and possibly throw them out of the country for having staged this attack at the airport against US Airways specifically to impose Muslim views on society through civil rights and diversity training. I know exactly what I am talking about. I know exactly who these people are and I am not going to be bowed by these radicals. I want the FBI to investigate the planning for this assault upon US Airways. How about you?
[...]
  "Right, this was a Trojan horse assault upon our defenses. They were using religion as a Trojan horse to overthrow our civil rights and to penetrate us for a future attack. That's how I look at it. If I was the FBI, I would investigate their fingernails for any trail of a conspiracy to do this and I'd slap those imams into irons if I had to, once I found out that that's what they were doing. I can guarantee you there's an email trail about how to do this and it goes right into the ACLU and the other subversive organizations.

MEDVED: And then there's this whole subtext, as there so often is, about homosexuality. Not that the penguins are gay -- they're not gay -- but the one penguin hero doesn't fit in and the religious authorities -- the so-called religious right in the penguin world -- are very judgmental. They say, "You are not a penguin. You're not a real penguin." And then he makes this heartfelt plea, he says, "Dad, you have to accept me as I am. I can't change." And --

DOBSON: Are they getting at the idea that homosexuality is genetic? Is that what the subtle implication is?

MEDVED: Well, how many times do we hear that in the media? That it's not a matter of choice, it's not a matter of change, and my problem with that -- as I understand, that there are some people, who -- for whom that may be true, but they're other people -- and you and I know them -- who have changed their lives and have turned around their lives.
--Michael Medved and James Dobson, During the December 11, 2006 Focus on the Family broadcast, discussing the movie Happy Feet

  "We need a serious dialogue -- not knee-jerk hysteria -- about the 1st Amendment, what it protects and what it should not protect. Here are a few baseline principles to consider:
  "We should be allowed to close down Web sites that recruit suicide bombers and provide instructions to indiscriminately kill civilians by suicide or other means, or advocate killing people from the West or the destruction of Western civilization; [had to add "West" or they'd be closing down the U.S. Army website]
  "We should propose a Geneva-like convention for fighting terrorism that makes very clear that those who would fight outside the rules of law, those who would use weapons of mass destruction and those who would target civilians are in fact subject to a totally different set of rules that allow us to protect civilization by defeating barbarism before it gains so much strength that it is truly horrendous. A subset of this convention should define the international rules of engagement on what activities will not be protected by free speech claims; and [does he really want to go there after Abu Ghraib, the rape/murder of a 14 year old girl and the U.S.'s threat to use nuclear bombs, among others?]
  "We need an expeditious review of current domestic law to see what changes can be made within the protections of the 1st Amendment to ensure that free speech protection claims are not used to protect the advocacy of terrorism, violent conduct or the killing of innocents." [must never have heard Americans advocating, "bomb them all to the stone age" or "kill 'em all, let god sort 'em out"]
--Newt Gingrich, December 6, 2006 Commentary

"Our friends at the 'ACLU left,' of course, were staggered at this concept. How could we talk about anything less than 100 percent free speech? How could we consider in any way thinking about this issue?"
--Newt Gingrich, December 15, 2006, asserting that the threat of biological or nuclear attack requires America to consider curbs to speech to fight terrorists

"Those six people should have been arrested and prosecuted for pretending to be terrorists. And the crew of the U.S. airplane should have been invited to the White House and congratulated for being correct in the protection of citizens."
--Newt Gingrich, December 15, 2006, citing last month's ejection of six Muslim scholars from a plane in Minneapolis for suspicious behavior

"If you give me any signal in the age of terrorism that you're a terrorist, I'd say the burden of proof was on you."

"Insofar as a member of Congress taking an oath to serve America and uphold its values is concerned, America is interested in only one book, the Bible. If you are incapable of taking an oath on that book, don't serve in Congress."
[...]

"When all elected officials take their oaths of office with their hands on the very same book, they all affirm that some unifying value system underlies American civilization. If Keith Ellison is allowed to change that, he will be doing more damage to the unity of America and to the value system that has formed this country than the terrorists of 9-11."

--Dennis Prager, a conservative talk radio host, columnist and U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum board member talking about incoming Minnesota Democrat Keith Ellison, the first Muslim elected to Congress, for choosing to use the Quran, rather than the Bible, during his ceremonial swearing-in.

  "Have you noticed that many news organizations, in honor of former ABC News anchorman Peter Jennings, have embarked on a quit smoking campaign? So why don't our media launch a campaign advising people to quit engaging in the dangerous and addictive homosexual lifestyle? Life-threatening sexually transmitted diseases among homosexuals are on the increase.
[...]
  "That's performing a good public service. But let's take this humanitarian impulse one step further. We would suggest that ABC News take on another dangerous practice--homosexuality. The latest reports indicate a rising pattern of sexually transmitted diseases nationwide. The 2005 estimate for syphilis cases is the highest in a decade, and the number of gonorrhea cases will exceed any other year's count since 1993. Federal officials attribute the increases mostly to HIV-positive homosexual men having sex with one another. The practice is called 'serosorting.'
  "The practice shows the dangerous and addictive nature of the homosexual lifestyle. As if it wasn't bad enough that the homosexual men are HIV-positive, they simply cannot stop having sex with other men. So they are still having sex, this time with other HIV-positive men. They think this is "responsible" sex. But they are increasing their risk of acquiring other sexually transmitted infections, including new resistant strains of HIV.
  "It appears that the homosexual lifestyle is as addictive as smoking."

  "Then there's the myth of global warming. Recently, 86 religious leaders, some of them evangelicals, signed an environmental document for the government, calling upon the government to stop all the carbon emissions and so forth. I mean just, they didn't mean, some of the guys are real good guys, just naïve. We found out last week that the study was funded by the Hewlett Foundation, which is the Number 1 funder of pro-abortion organizations in America. They give Planned Parenthood millions of dollars every year, and they got some of our guys to sign on.
  "When they called and said, "Will you sign this?" I said, "No". Why? I said because I don't believe in global warming in the first place, and I don't believe we caused it, and I don't think the science supports it. [emphasis added] And Number 2, I don't want to put my name on the same thing Ron Sider [president and founder of Evangelicals for Social Action] has his name on, and some of these other left-wing people, and that reminds me I'll preach Sunday on the myth of global warming. And a lot of my friends signed it, and now they're embarrassed about it."

--Jerry Falwell, March 5, 2006 sermon

"And then there's global warming. We're worried about everything melting, and our carbon emissions bringing the temperature up. The world is going to flood, and everybody's going to die. I remember in the 70's when those same people were saying we're in for global cooling. It was getting so cold. The fact is this whole thing is cyclical, and the scientists who are not on the payroll of the government to do these studies are saying the jury's still out -- there's no such evidence there. [emphasis added] But there are many who want to break the economic back of America by making us sign the Kyoto protocols while China, India, and half the world have said they would not do it."
--Jerry Falwell, March 12, 2006 sermon

"And I want to tell you something, and I'm going to say it to you loud and clear. The radical homosexual agenda will not stop until religion is outlawed in this country. Make no mistake about it. They're all not nice decorators. You better get it through your head before it's too late. They threaten your very survival. They went after the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church is now caving into the homosexual mafia. They will not stop until they force their agenda down your throats. Gay marriage is just the tip of the iceberg. They want full and total subjugation of this society to their agenda. Now, if you want that and if you don't think it's a threat -- believe me, that is what's going to occur in this country."

"...we have to have elected officials in government and we have to have the faithful in government and over time, that lie we have been told, the separation of church and state, people have internalized, thinking that they needed to avoid politics and that is so wrong because God is the one who chooses our rulers. [emphasis added]  And if we are the ones not actively involved in electing those godly men and women and if people aren’t involved in helping godly men in getting elected than we’re going to have a nation of secular laws. That’s not what our founding fathers intended and that’s certainly isn’t what God intended."
[...]
"But the real issue is why should Baptists care, why should people care? If you are not electing Christians, tried and true, under public scrutiny and pressure, if you’re not electing Christians then in essence you are going to legislate sin. [emphasis added]  They can legislate sin. They can say that abortion is alright. They can vote to sustain gay marriage. And that will take western civilization, indeed other nations because people look to our country as one nation as under God and whenever we legislate sin and we say abortion is permissible and we say gay unions are permissible, then average citizens who are not Christians, because they don’t know better, [emphasis added] we are leading them astray and it’s wrong."

“Throughout our history, Americans have turned to God in prayer during times of crisis, challenge and adversity.  In response to the ‘crime emergency’ declared by Washington’s police chief, we are asking the faith community to seek God for His blessing and mercy in helping end the increase of crime in our nation’s capital.  It is critical that we do not forget to acknowledge God in the midst of all the other efforts the city is putting forward to help deal with the crime emergency.  As we pray, we are believing that God will reduce crime in Washington , D.C. over the next six months.”

  "Is it time to get excited? I can't help the way I feel. For the first time in my Christian walk, I have no doubts that the day of the Lords appearing is upon us. I have never felt this way before, I have a joy that bubbles up every-time I think of him, for I know this is truly the time I have waited for so long. Am I alone in feeling guilty about the human suffering like my joy at his appearing some how fuels the evil I see everywhere. If it were not for the souls that hang in the balance and the horror that stalks man daily on this earth, my joy would be complete. For those of us who await his arrival know, somehow we just know it won't be long now, the Bridegroom cometh rather man is ready are not."
