Insanity......A Compilation

Ran across this link on a message board.
It's just a page of quotes by people like Bush 41, Bush 43, (The always insane) Pat Robertson, Jimmy "I love hookers" Swaggert, Roy "The 10 Commandments Publicity Whore" Moore, and many other Ann-Coulter-like "leaders" of the extreme right-wing movement.

Here are some samples:

"We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity. We weren't punctilious about locating and punishing only Hitler and his top officers. We carpet-bombed German cities; we killed civilians. That's war. And this is war"
-Ann Coulter


"I don't know that atheists should be considered citizens, nor should they be considered patriots. This is one nation under God."
-George H. W. Bush (And you'd figure a President would have more respect for the First Amendment.)


"This crusade, this war on terrorism is going to take a while."
-George W. Bush


"State Universities are breeding grounds, quite literally, for sexually transmitted diseases (including HIV), homosexual behavior, unwanted pregnancies, abortions, alcoholism, and drug abuse."
-James Dobson of Focus on the Family


"If you're not a born-again Christian, you're a failure as a human being."
-Jerry "Does anyone still take him seriously?" Falwell


"The Islamic people, the Arabs, were the ones who captured Africans, put them in slavery, and sent them to America as slaves. Why would the people in America want to embrace the religion of slavers?"
-Pat Robertson, whom I would like to ask, "If Americans bought and owned slaves, didn't that make them 'slavers' too?"


Anyway, there's a whole list of people under the heading "Quotes from the American Taliban."

Read all the insanity for youself HERE.

"Where do we go from here?" - at the Capital City Free Press

"Where do we go from here?" is my new column at the Capital City Free Press.

Here is an excerpt:

"[Regarding Hurricane Katrina.]As the fingers get pointed and the blame gets handed out, some will miss the bigger picture that has been exposed by Katrina - the face of poverty. U.S. Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) said recently on the floor of the Senate, 'I hope we realize that the people of New Orleans weren't just abandoned during the hurricane. They were abandoned long ago - to murder and mayhem in the streets, to substandard schools, to dilapidated housing, to inadequate health care, to a pervasive sense of hopelessness.'"
