The American Taliban

Here's a page the gives quotes from some very influential people in American society. These people, as you'll see, are fanatical in their beliefs, to the point of being downright dangerous. They're advocates of hate, and seek only divisiveness, and they do it by spreading lies and misconceptions.

Here are a few of the more famous names listed......

Ann Coulter:
"Being nice to people is, in fact, one of the incidental tenets of Christianity, as opposed to other religions whose tenets are more along the lines of 'kill everyone who doesn't smell bad and doesn't answer to the name Mohammed'"

Apparently she's never looked into the history of Christianity.

George Bush Sr.:
"I don't know that atheists should be considered citizens, nor should they be considered patriots. This is one nation under God."

Yeah that's right, the persecution of non believers is truely the Christian way.

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

I guess all others are paragons of virtue. Or maybe he really just doesn't like his tax money helping to educate the less financially able.

Jerry Falwell:
"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."

How compassionate, for a Christian.

Jimmy Swaggart:
"Sex education classes in our public schools are promoting incest."

My, times have sure changed since I was in school.

Joseph Scheidler of the Pro-Life Action League:
"I would like to outlaw contraception...contraception is disgusting – people using each other for pleasure."

Yes, that God-given ability to actually enjoy sex is so...so...so ungodly. Long live the middle-ages.

Pat Buchanan:
"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."

So I guess lynching a "negro" for looking at a white woman, couldn't be considered "magifying a slight". The falacy of the "good old days" lives on.

Pat Robertson:
"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."

Aside from being an obvious lie, he also wants people to believe Christians today are being made to suffer much more than the African slaves, the genocide of the Native Americans, forced labor of Chinese imigrants, internment of Japanese Americans, persecution of homosexuals, etc., and I'll assume that by "any minority in history" he means only American history, or else I could go on and on and on...

Yep, these racists, sexists, and elitists, are the self-rightious voices of Christ. Don't you feel the love?
