Quotes, Quotes, Quotes oh my....certainly worth reading.

Simply disgusting. Simply astounding how stupid people are. Those quotes are unbelievable.

Perfect examples of people who give Christianity a bad name.

America too.

Some scary stuff there

I'm not scared by 40 or 50 quotes from extreme right-wingers that someone rounded up and put on a website.

What really scares me is that there are probably tens of millions of Americans who, deep down inside, agree with most of it. :rolleyes:

My views on this, being as concise and to the point as possible:

Lt. Gen. William G. Boykin - If God appointed Bush, who appointed God?

Pat Buchanan - More nuggets of wisdom by President in his own mind Buchanan.

George W. Bush - I'm not with you or the terrorists. I don't support Al-Qaeda or the Bush Administration.

Anne Coulter - Stupid bit**.

Jerry Falwell - See Pat Robertson.

Rush Limbaugh - He's Rush Limbaugh. I don't think I need to say anything else.

Star Parker - Who the hell is Star Parker?

Ronald Reagan - Is the "Battle of Armaggedon and the Second Coming of Christ" something I should deal with this week or should I leave it for next week?

Pat Robertson - It is scary that a man of such stupidity, ignorance and abnormality is given such prominence and respect by so many in our society. This man is an unbalanced, dangerous, psychopathic individual who should learn to think before he opens his mouth.

Jimmy Swaggart - When I'm having sex with a whore, I don't pretend I'm doing God's work.

Jerry Vines - And you're an important person, why?

So where's the Democratic-Atheists rebuttal?

eh?

What reponse could be made to such ignorance and nutty stuff that I just read on that webpage?

Certainly I can't construct one...

Let the wackos talk. They're only showing themselves as the idiots they are. :rolleyes:


On a humorous, yet political note, I thought this was funny.

TIS

I agree with some of those.

Although I wouldn't call them the American Taliban, that's stretching it I believe.

I think Gary Bauer's statement is true and could be applied to most cultures/countries when you really look at things. I question why it was included in there except as an attack on Bauer himself for his beliefs, which is something the Taliban did itself.

I'm afraid to ask Yeah, his statement was mild by comparison, and he didn't say anything specific enough there to get himself into trouble.

Seriously.

I've got a few comments too:

--Pat Robertson's hand looks like a baseball mitt, did anyone else notice this? That is his hand, right?
Also, I looked him up, it turns out he's written a book called "Bring It On." I wonder if the Kirsten Dunst movie was based on it.

--I almost want to see Fred Phelps in person one day, and actually hear him talk. I bet he's like a train wreck; as scary (or annoying) as it is, you can't look away because something about him fascinates you in a sick way. In his picture, he looks certifiably insane... I wonder how seriously he takes himself.

--Kay O'Connor's comment about women's suffrage was my favorite. Uh... does she know she's a Senator???????? Because, I don't know, maybe she didn't realize it. :rolleyes: I also wonder if she knows that, back when we couldn't vote, we couldn't RUN for office, either.

Yeah, the rest was just your average predictable stuff, they all said pretty much the same thing. Was anyone really surprised? I mean we've been reading about these guys for years... nothing new here. I'll be shocked the day Jerry Falwell says something that makes sense. That's what would be "astounding."

No, it's very much like Taliban rhetoric.

This wonderful website is chock full of comments from the vast majority of whom have no real political clout or power.

Putting the Reagan quote into context, it is no secret that he felt that nuclear armageddon was coming, hence his talks with Gorbachev, SDI, et al. Can anyone doubt that nuclear war would essentially be the end of the world as we know it?

How about some choice liberal quotes?

"I want you to listen to me. I'm going to say this again. I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky. I never told anybody to lie, not a single time-never. These allegations are false. And I need to go back to work for the American people."
Bill Clinton

Well, we all know how that one turned out.

"I would think that if you understood what Communism was, you would hope, you would pray on your knees, that we would someday become communists."
Jane Fonda

Who is she married to? Oh, that's right, the biggest media congolmerate capitalist in the world. Shoot. It looks like capitalism is treating her just fine.

"We live in fictitious times. We live in a time with fictitious election results that elect fictitious presidents. We live in a time when we have a man sending us to war for fictitious reasons. We are against this war, Mr. Bush. Shame on you. Shame on you."
Michael Moore

You know, they gave Doris Kearns Goodwin a good whacking for her inventive plagarism, but its sad when Michael Moore can invent words and be acknowledged in this fashion. Boy, I sure love Team America: World Police.

"One could say that Osama bin Laden and these non-nation-state fighters with religious purpose are very similar to those kind of atypical revolutionaries that helped to cast off the British crown." Marcy Kaptur- Democratic Representative Ohio

Of course, because, you know, we rammed some cannons down into the Palace and decided to invade Britain and turn it into a fundamentalist territory of the United States. :rolleyes:

"He's (Osama bin Laden) been out in these countries for decades, building schools, building roads, building infrastructure, building day-care facilities, building health-care facilities, and these people are extremely grateful. We haven't done that."
Patty Murray- Democratic Senator Washington (speech to a high school honors class)

I didn't realize Al Qaeda terrorist camps were now cross-referenced by the zoning departments of Afghanistan as "schools, roads, day-care and health-care facilities."

"Republicans are men of narrow vision, who are afraid of the future." - Jimmy Carter

Wait, you mean narrow vision like telling people that they should weather an energy crisis by wearing sweaters, and placing the blame on the American people? That is some far-reaching scope, Carter-domus.

"It depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is" - Bill Clinton

"This vast right-wing conspiracy that has been conspiring against my husband since the day he announced for President"
Hillary Clinton

HOW DID YOU FIGURE THAT ONE OUT?!?!?

"I mean, I think, Iraqis, I think, feel that if we drove smaller cars, maybe we wouldn’t have to kill them for their oil.”
Bill Maher - Larry King Live (November 1, 2002)

I didn't realize Bill Maher was an Iraqi citizen. Hmm. Funny, he doesn't look Arabic.

"We don’t know whether in the long run the Iraqi people are better off, and the most important thing is we don’t know whether we’re better off." - On the question of whether qetting rid of Saddam Hussein was a good thing.
Howard Dean - Former Democratic Govenor of Vermont and Democratic Presidential Candidate in 2004 (Meet The Press 6/22/03).

Yeaaaargh! That's right! We won't know whether Iraqis will be better off had they remained with a mudererous genocidal dictator or a self-ruled democracy for quite some time. Maybe this is that narrow-vision Jimmy Carter was talking about?

"Mr. Reagan will raise taxes, and so will I. He won't tell you. I just did."
Walter Mondale- July 19, 1988

Ummm...? :p

"They could call Jesus a terrorist too. I mean, he was pretty tough on money lenders a time or two."
Ramsey Clark- former Democratic Attorney General (during a media event for an anti-war group)

I knew it. Jesus is a terrorist, which is why all Christians are terrorists too! :rolleyes:

And of course, the best are for last...funny, for all those who claimed to be purposefully misled by the Bush Administration, many of these quotes date back to the Clinton Administration, oddly enough:

Why did Saddam Hussein threaten and provoke? Why does he develop missiles that exceed allowable limits? Why did Saddam Hussein lie and deceive the inspection teams previously?

Saddam Hussein's regime represents a grave threat to America and our allies, including our vital ally, Israel.

He has already used them against his neighbors and his own people, and is trying to build more. We know that he is doing everything he can to build nuclear weapons, and we know that each day he gets closer to achieving that goal. Iraq has continued to seek nuclear weapons and develop its arsenal in defiance of the collective will of the international community, as expressed through the United Nations Security Council. It is violating the terms of the 1991 cease-fire that ended the Gulf war and as many as 16 Security Council resolutions, including 11 resolutions concerning Iraq?s efforts to develop weapons of mass destruction." Congressional Record Sen. John Edwards, October 10, 2002

I love how this topic was made about Americans who are obviously too religious and all you can do is post quotes about people from the left who have a different opinion on issues than you.

Yeah, what's wrong with you JJ? You should have started a NEW topic titled " The Al Quaeda From The Left!" :p


Don Cardi

Define "too religious" for me. Please. From a liberal standpoint. Is that a technical term? After all, they have a different opinion on issues than you. :rolleyes:

By that same token, I happen to find the quotes I posted to be hilarious. Then again, I can't be like Ted Kennedy and just will things to happen.

Define "too religious" for me. Please. From a liberal standpoint. [/b][/quote]"We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity..." -Ann Coulter

"Unless we get medically lucky, in three or four years, one of the options discussed will be the extermination of homosexuals." -Paul Cameron

"Our goal must be simple. We must have a Christian nation built on God's law, on the ten Commandments. No apologies." -Randall Terry

"If the Supreme Court says that you have the right to consensual [Gay] sex within your home, then you have the right to bigamy, you have the right to polygamy, you have the right to incest, you have the right to adultery. You have the right to anything!" -Rick Santorum

"Raising your children under Americanism or any other principles other than true Christianity is child abuse." -Robert T. Lee

"Oh, you're one of the sodomites. You should only get AIDS and die, you pig. How's that? Why don't you see if you can sue me, you pig. You got nothing better than to put me down, you piece of garbage. You have got nothing to do today, go eat a sausage and choke on it." -Michael Savage

No.

I don't call for exterminations and people to convert if they have a different opinion than me.

Okay...

why do some conservatives bitch and cry about what liberals think? Last I checked, they controlled Congress, the White House, much of the media(or the media that actually MATTER), and the judiciary.

Its like they need someone to beat on just to excuse their shortcomings in Washington.

Ann Coulter.

Hmm, is she related to Cortez?

I'm a supporter of it. You all know my funeral song, so farewell!

Tough choice.

When seeing his face, I think science actually did misinterprete its data.

Arguably the worst of all.

Guess what all of these people you've listed have in common? With the exception of Santorum, none of them are elected officials, and none of them have any political power.

Seems to me like you dislike people for being "too religious," as you like to say, yet their opinions have very little if any worth in reality.


You did want to ban smoking entirely outside the home though, which would, much like exterminating people, violate their civil liberties.

I didn't realize CNN, CBS, NBC, ABC, The New York Times, and The Washington Post all were less important that Fox? :rolleyes:

Proof?


---

Obviously these are choice quotes by people who are either a.) being taken out of context or b.) obviously fucking wacko. I'm not trying to defend them, I'm simply saying that it shouldn't just be a bashing of conservatives or right-wingers, both sides have fucking wackos. Yeaaargh.

This is why I love the internet.

Expose them fools!

> give a fool enough rope and he'll hang himself.

Really DJ, quit acting like a crybaby. Besides, you seem to over-react to the actual legit power that those news corporations have.

For one thing, who the f*ck watches the evening network news anymore if they want to know what is happening at the moment? Hell, people either use the internet or Cable news channels to find out. ABC and CBS aren't the breadwinners of the news, but FOX NEWS and CNN. Really, the only people that watch those network news programs are either old farts who think beet juice taste good and poor people or cheap bastards that can't or will not pay for cable TV.

As for New York Times and the Post, so? You really hung up on newspapers? The POST right now is simply it seems to be a tabloid rag in D.C., and well the TIMES....

Compared to FOX NEWS, the WALL STREET JOURNAL, who knows how many national syndicated political radio talk show programs, the syndicated columns of (wacko) people like Anne Coulter, all those books that fly off the shelf that involve how evil liberals are and how they also were involved in killing JFK, eating babies, for 9/11 and kicking your dog.

Fact is, the conservatives are the majority power-controlling faction in America. Yet many still need to blame their....how we say...inept and lousy work in D.C. on some enemy group.

JJ, I'm just wondering, do you agree with some of the quotes? And if I'm allowed to ask, which ones?

How about Crissy Hynde's outrageous statement that she'd only wished we'd had more bombs go off on 9-11-01? Please, people, be reasonable: There are enough nuts on BOTH ends of the spectrum, neither any more nor any less outlandish than the other.

Snake, no shit. No shit. Better yet, same with folks who call Bush "Hitler". Please, Hitler at least was charismatic...

I certainly like the nuts on the left end of the spectrum more.
