Did You Hear What They Said?

Hello, True Believers!

That's right, it's time for another edition of "Did You Hear What They Said"? Where we actually quote people in the news and show the world who they really are!

And now, without further ado, let's.......get.....busy:

The Framers

"I am well aware of the toil and blood and treasure that it will cost to maintain this Declaration, and support and defend these States. Yet through all the gloom I can see the rays of ravishing light and glory. I can see that the end is worth more than all the means...." --John Adams

Homosexual Agenda

"In the supposed state of nature, all men are equally bound by thelaws of nature, or to speak more properly, the laws of the Creator."--Samuel Adams

"When homosexuality takes on all the aspects of a political movement, it,too, becomes a war, the kind of war in which the first casualty is truth, and the spoils turn out to be our own children. ... In a Washington March for Gay Pride, they chanted, 'We're here. We're queer. And we're coming after your children.' What more do we need to know?" --Charles Socarides,M.D., clinical professor of psychiatry, Albert Einstein College of Medicine

War

"Abuse at Abu Ghraib prison -- where no one was killed or even hurt -- was given massive attention; Saddam's mass graves precious little. The news media's double standard is clear." --Jack Kelly

"Let's understand what mishandling means. Under the rules the Pentagon later instituted at Guantanamo, proper handling of the Koran means using two hands and wearing gloves when touching it. Which means that if any guard held the Koran with one hand or had neglected to put on gloves, this would be considered mishandling. On the scale of human crimes, where, say, 10 is the killing of 2,973 innocent people in one day and 0 is jaywalking, this ranks as perhaps a 0.01." --Charles Krauthammer

"We feed them now their Islamic food. We give them honey and dates when they break fast at Ramadan. We give them prayer beads, prayer oil, all paid for -- in fact if you did that for American GIs and you did a call to prayer five times a day the ACLU would sue on the basis that we broke into separation between church and state. So my question is -- we even have footprints that are painted at the prison where guards are not to step during prayer time because they will squeak, will make noise and bother the prisoners. How could you possibly improve that treatment for the guys that are Osama bin Laden's bodyguards and the guy who was on his way to kill 5,000 Americans no matter where you put them?"--Congressman Duncan Hunter

"You can't fix in six months what it took 35 years to destroy." --Ibrahim al-Jaafari, Iraq Prime Minister

"If American troops kill a hundred terrorists in battle and lose ten of their own men doing it, the only headline will be: 'Ten More Americans Killed in Iraq Today.' Those in the media who have carped at the military for years, and have repeatedly opposed military spending, are now claiming to be 'honoring' our military by making a big production out of publishing the names of all those killed in Iraq. Will future generations see through this hypocrisy -- and wonder why we did not?" --Thomas Sowell

"This is an enemy that refuses to observe any conventions, treaties or rules of warfare. They lie, cheat and violate agreements. They slice off heads like raw meat. They murder women and children. They fly airplanes into buildings. But we're the bad guys?" --Oliver North

"To be prepared for war, is one of the most effectual means of preserving peace." --George Washington

Religion

"When people stop believing in God, they don't believe in nothing -- they believe in anything." --G. K. Chesterton

Did any Muslim clerics apologize for the terrorists who desecrated the Church of the Nativity? Do any of them protest against the persecution of Christians and Jews that goes on every day in many Islamic states? Has Turkey apologized for its genocidal jihad against the Armenian Christians? Do we ever hear Muslim clerics — talking when Westerners aren't around, that is — express the same respect and tolerance for Christianity and Judaism that they demand for Islam? --Bruce Thornton

"No one proposes teaching the Bible as a sacred text or to promote religious faith in public schools. With three kinds of Jews, a dozen varieties of Methodists and countless flavors of Baptists, just for starters, we could never agree on what, exactly, should be taught as doctrine even if that's what we set out to do. But in a less-than-perfect world there can be no harm, and a lot of good, in well-informed surveys of the Bible as literature, showing how the Bible has shaped history, philosophy, the law, art and other subjects, inspiring our earliest settlers, Founding Fathers and presidents unto the modern day." --Suzanne Fields

At this link: http://www.anti-naturals.org/15cst/no19/p1.htm you will find an essay containing the following quotes:

"On a personal level, religiosity is merely annoying—like bad taste. This immaturity represents a significant social problem, however, because religious adherents fail to recognize their limitations. So, in the name of their faith, these moral retards are running around pointing fingers and doing real harm to others. One only has to read the newspaper to see the results of their handiwork. They discriminate, exclude and belittle. They make a virtue of closed-mindedness and virulent ignorance. They are an ugly, violent lot."

"Those who believe that they are acting out the divine plan are the most dangerous sort in the contemporary world. Make no mistake."

"Can there be any doubt that humanity would be better off without religion? Everyone who appreciates the good, the true and the beautiful has a duty to challenge this social poison at every opportunity. It is not enough to be irreligious; we must use our critique to expose religion for what it is: sanctimonious nonsense. --Timothy Shortell

He sounds like this guy:
"Christianity is an invention of sick brains. ... The best thing is to let Christianity die a natural death. ... We commence hostilities against the so-called Ten Commandments; the tablets from Sinai are no longer in force." --Adolf Hitler

"If we ever forget that we're one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under." --Ronald Reagan

Dr. Howard Dean (aka Dr. No)

"Republicans are not very friendly to different kinds of people. ... They all behave the same. They all look the same. It's pretty much a white Christian party." --DNC Chairman Dr. Howard Dean, former governor of Vermont, which, as you may recall, is 96.8 percent white.

"'Democrat National Chairman Howard Dean further burnished his shoot-from-the-lip reputation Thursday' by suggesting that President Bush won re-election because Republicans are lazy, the Chicago Sun-Times reports. ... It's a strange complaint coming from the head of a party whose most recent presidential nominee was a man who married another man's fortune." --James Taranto

"Last week's scandal was Deep Throat. This week's scandal was Dean's throat, and apparently Dean likes the taste of his own foot."--House Speaker Dennis Hastert

"Dean's inflammatory rhetoric makes it clear that Democrats have no vision and would rather pander to the maniacal fringe than talk about the important issues facing our country," --Tracey Schmitt

"'All you need to know about the Democrat Party is we will defend abortion to the death, and the Republicans are mean, nasty people that want to starve old people and poison kids.' That pretty much sums it up. All I can say is the country will continue to be a better place to live if Howard Dean keeps calling us stupid, white, Christian morons who've never held an honest job. It will only ensure that the closest that Democrats get to seats of power is through the Capitol tours." --Duane Patterson

"I was hoping that Governor Dean could make it tonight, but sadly, he's too busy to make it. He's too busy helping us expand the Republican majority."--Senator Bill Frist

The Party of Dr. No

"If the Democrat Party is supposedly so diverse, why is the Democrat Party leadership apparently homogenously white? I mean the Democrat Party looks like an antebellum plantation from 150 years ago. You got the big, white owner and the white family in the big house, and thousands of black workers in the fields. Where's the Democrats' answer to a figure like Condoleezza Rice?" --Mark Steyn

"The great challenge for Democrats is not to be put into a cultural box. ... We live in a fairly conservative country, and progressives have to adjust the way they present their case." --Marshall Wittmann of the centrist Democrat Leadership Conference, admitting it's the Left that's out of the political mainstream

"The Deep Throat incident was about the Watergate break in, when the Republicans broke into the Watergate hotel to see what the Democrats were up to. You see, back in those days the Democrats actually had ideas worth stealing"--Jay Leno

"For Kerry, Gore, and Clinton, even a few conservative outlets are too many. They grew up in the era before cable TV, talk radio, and the Internet -- the age when liberal dominance was unquestioned. Now Democrats have to compete in the marketplace of ideas, and voters don't seem to be buying what they're selling. Is it any wonder so many are grumpy?" --Jeff Jacoby

"When the federal assault-weapons ban expired last September, its fans claimed that gun crimes and police killings would surge. Sarah Brady, one of the nation's leading gun-control advocates, warned, 'Our streets are going to be filled with AK-47s and Uzis.' Well, over eight months have gone by, and the only casualty has been gun-controllers' credibility. Letting the law expire only showed its uselessness." --John Lott, Jr.

"Democrats consistently rely on judges to impose legislation that they can't get through the normal democratic process because majorities don't want it. As a result, our politics and our courts have been deformed. A contempt for majorities keeps growing on the left, and contempt for the courts keeps rising on the right." --John Leo

"The Framers' carefully considered requirement was that each state's senators would be "chosen by the legislature thereof" rather than by direct popular election. Do Democrats, in the purity of their newfound reverence for the Framers, now favor repealing the 17th Amendment?"--George Will

"Political parties that choose the path of obstruction will not gain the trust of the American people. If leaders of the other party have innovative ideas, let's hear them. But if they have no ideas or policies except obstruction, they should step aside and let others lead."--President George W. Bush

"As Republicans, we will always point out where the other party is misguided and mistaken, but we will never embrace their hateful rhetoric. [Democrat leaders hope] their loud talk and angry rhetoric will hide the fact that they have nothing to say and nothing to offer." --RNC Chairman Ken Mehlman
