Establishment of democracy and secularism through a national referendum is the only solution we see for the future of our country. [...] The pronouncements of the human rights lobby and their political sympathizers is nothing but ‘racism’ by other means.

[...] It takes as much or more energy to recycle these things and can be more costly than to just do with them what mankind has done with garbage since it began building up in the caves. [...] The car chase and subsequent arrest of Stanley Miller is drawing comparisons to the Rodney King incident, and Al Sharpton is on the scene. [...] From John Edwards, we have the answer: a baby in the womb becomes a human being precisely at the moment it's worth $6.5 million to a trial lawyer. [...] Perhaps Congress should use its power under Article III of the Constitution to regulate the jurisdiction of the federal courts. [...] Beginning in the 4th century, some Christian theologians argued that when non-believers die, their souls disappear into nothingness.
