 |
|
The American Taliban- this page has enlightened, down-home wisdom from some of America's former and current conservative leading lights. Here are some of the highlights:
| Quote: |
Ann Coulter:
"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."
"Not all Muslims may be terrorists, but all terrorists are Muslims."
Bob Dornan(former Rep. R-CA):
"Don't use the word 'gay' unless it's an acronym for 'Got Aids Yet'"
George Bush Sr. (former President of the United States)
"I don't know that atheists should be considered citizens, nor should they be considered patriots. This is one nation under God."
George W. Bush (President of the United States)
"God told me to strike at al Qaida and I struck them, and then he instructed me to strike at Saddam, which I did, and now I am determined to solve the problem in the Middle East. If you help me I will act, and if not, the elections will come and I will have to focus on them."
"Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists."
"This crusade, this war on terrorism is going to take a while."
James Watt (Secretary of the Interior)
"We don't have to protect the environment, the Second Coming is at hand."*
*Secretary of the Interior in the Reagan Admin. Responsible for National Policy regarding the Environment
Jerry Falwell (1933 - 2007)
"We're fighting against humanism, we're fighting against liberalism...we are fighting against all the systems of Satan that are destroying our nation today...our battle is with Satan himself."
"AIDS is the wrath of a just God against homosexuals. To oppose it would be like an Israelite jumping in the Red Sea to save one of Pharoah's chariotters."
"The Bible is the inerrant ... word of the living God. It is absolutely infallible, without error in all matters pertaining to faith and practice, as well as in areas such as geography, science, history, etc."
Jesse Helms (former Sen. R-NC)
"The New York Times and Washington Post are both infested with homosexuals themselves. Just about every person down there is a homosexual or lesbian."
"All Latins are volatile people. Hence, I was not surprised at the volatile reaction."
Lt. Gen. William G. Boykin
�George Bush was not elected by a majority of the voters in the United States, he was appointed by God.�
Pat Buchanan (Presidential Candidate)
"Our culture is superior. Our culture is superior because our religion is Christianity and that is the truth that makes men free."
"There were no politics to polarize us then, to magnify every slight. The "negroes" of Washington had their public schools, restaurants, bars, movie houses, playgrounds and churches; and we had ours."
"Rail as they will about 'discrimination,' women are simply not endowed by nature with the same measures of single-minded ambition and the will to succeed in the fiercely competitive world of Western capitalism."
Pat Robertson (Christian Coalition)
"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?"
"Just like what Nazi Germany did to the Jews, so liberal America is now doing to the evangelical Christians. It's no different...More terrible than anything suffered by any minority in history."
"When lawlessness is abroad in the land, the same thing will happen here that happened in Nazi Germany. Many of those people involved with Adolph Hitler were Satanists, many of them were homosexuals � the two things seem to go together."
"The feminist agenda is not about equal rights for women. It is about a socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism, and become lesbians."
"You say you're supposed to be nice to the Episcopalians and the Presbyterians and the Methodists and this, that, and the other thing. Nonsense, I don't have to be nice to the spirit of the Antichrist."
"I know this is painful for the ladies to hear, but if you get married, you have accepted the headship of a man, your husband. Christ is the head of the household and the husband is the head of the wife, and that's the way it is, period."
"[Homosexuals] want to come into churches and disrupt church services and throw blood all around and try to give people AIDS and spit in the face of ministers."
"[Planned Parenthood] is teaching kids to fornicate, teaching people to have adultery, every kind of bestiality, homosexuality, lesbianism � everything that the Bible condemns."
Rick Santorum (former Sen. R-PA)
"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!"
Ronald Reagan (1911 - 2004)(former President of the United States)
"For the first time ever, everything is in place for the Battle of Armageddon and the Second Coming of Christ."
Rush Limbaugh
"Feminism was established to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream of society."
"There is only one way to get rid of nuclear weapons... use them"
William Rehnquist (1924 - 2005)(Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court)
"The 'wall of separation between church and state' is a metaphor based on bad history, a metaphor which has proved useless as a guide to judging. It should be frankly and explicitly abandoned." |

"Wingnut." You people and your proclivity to assign mental illness to those with whom you disagree.
R. Reagan represented the far right, the New Right to be precise. Sun-belt suburbanites, social conservatives, and hawkish, B. Goldwater-style Cold Warriors. No more no less. |

This is the worst they could find on Coulter?

A slight exaggeration. But really, true. Maybe it's a "hatefact"?

So she's historically informed. This was how the world worked for a long while. When I first read it I figured it was an extremist position. Now, I'm coming around. A while back Kuros posted a thread that there was an "x" chance (50%?) of "terrorists" (see point '1') nuking an American city. If muslims "radicals" (obedients) do that, I'll fly the planes over their cities my fucking self.
These is a ton of objectionable Coulter stuff. But the above ain't it. |

I heard of lot of bad things said about William Ayers, but not that he was a Muslim. And I'll bet Timothy McVeigh is rolling over in his grave. Not to mention the IRA and that bunch of Basques in Spain. |

The Muslim religion certainly has a lot to answer for but it's still a dumb thing to say. |

Yea the Omagh bomb was only like 10 years ago.(RIRA i know).
Hopefully the boys in south armagh aren't reading this and seething. They might decide to go back to their lorry bomb making ways and ditch the whole gangster thing.
I suppose anything that happened before 2001 is not really terrorism or relevant.. |

They might be more successful if we gave them tanks and not just guns.
The American Taliban will be more active now that Obama is in office. Their leeches are already inside the Pentagon (See USAF evangelicalism) and the career appointees position. The economic crunch and election losses have severely weakened their political power, so expect more use of their 'soft' power.
Also, their membership has been stockpiling weapons lately. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/01/16/firearms-associations-claim-obama-drove-surge-gun-sales/
Recently, someone sent the infamous White Powder Envelope to the Wall St. Journal, probably forgetting that the WSJ is now owned by one of their patron saints Rupert Murdoch.
We may see a swing back to the 90s of rental truck bombs, abortion clinic bombs. We're already into the church burnings (Springfield MA). |

Maybe that's how Ziad Jarrah felt about our own religious radicals when bombs fell in his country. Two wrongs don't make a right.
Converting Muslims to Christianity, or vice versa, is like swapping a donkey for a mule. Maybe all Muslims and Christians should convert to the Raelians, or the Adjumma Church, or some other nonviolent religion. |
