“Have you ever noticed that if a rapper or a rocker writes a song that mentions a girl’s hot ass they’re destroying America’s youth but if a cowboy in an American flag shirt and a ten gallon hat writes a song about a honky tonk badonkadonk it’s all good clean family fun?” — Steve Quinney

”We have a President… who doesn’t appear to believe that America is the greatest earthly force for good the world has ever known. Obama [said], ‘I believe in American exceptionalism, just as I suspect that
the Brits believe in British exceptionalism…’ Amazing. I think this statement speaks volumes about his world …view.” — Sarah Palin [NOTE: Yes, Sarah. He is intelligent. You are an idiot.]

“…now… in our … day, we hear a Pope saying slave trading is wrong, and see him sending an expedition to Africa to stop it. The texts remain; it is the practice that has changed. Why? Because the world has corrected the Bible. The Church never corrects it; and also never fails to drop in at the tail of the process…ion—and take the credit of the correction. As she will presently do in this instance.”
“[Christians] pray for the return of their savior so that he may deliver them from this horrible, dangerous place and rapture them up into the safety of his loving embrace. What chance do we have of saving this world, when the largest segment of our society just can’t wait to leave

“Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.”
