Who said it?

Who said it?

If you don’t already know who said this, comment with your best guess. The national government will maintain and defend the foundations on which the power of our nation rests. It will offer strong protection to Christianity as the very basis of our collective morality. Today, Christians stand at the head of our country. We want to fill our culture again with the Christian spirit. We want to burn out all the recent immoral developments in literature, in the theatre,…

Today’s Quotations

“And Saint Attila raised the hand grenade up on high, saying, ‘O Lord, bless this thy hand grenade, that with it thou mayst blow thine enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy.’” –from Monty Python and The Holy Grail “Liberalism is trust of the people tempered by prudence.

How dare you use God for this! This is so low, so hypocritical. You won’t dabate Iraq, but you WILL debate this? Is this what you have left to say about “compassionate conservatism”? You’ve let pseudo-christian dominionists (otherwise known as supremacists) gain too much power in our process…
