From The Conservative Hall of Fame

"I want you to just let a wave of intolerance wash over you. I want you to let a wave of hatred wash over you. Yes, hate is good....

"Our goal is a Christian nation. We have a Biblical duty, we are called by God to conquer this country. We don't want equal time. We don't want pluralism."

— Randell Terry
Servant of Evil

"Martin Luther King was a fraud and a demagogue and perhaps worse... Others consider him the Devil incarnate. Dr. King is one of the most divisive men in contemporary history."

— Pat Buchanan
Smug Hypocrite

"I want to tell you that there's not enough troops in the army to force the southern people to break down segregation and admit the negro race into our theaters, into our swimming pools, into our homes, and into our churches.

— Senator Strom Thurmond
(R) South Carolina
Political Dinosaur
terrified of human beings

— Pat Robertson
Open Fascist
Closet-Racist
Pseudo-Christian

"I realize that it is an unpopular and unhumanitarian position, for which I have been excoriated by 'liberal' colleagues, but I think Plessy vs. Ferguson was right and should be reaffirmed."

(R) Idaho
Proud member of
the Cold-Climate Community

"People who are bitter and hateful about slavery are obviously bitter and hateful against God and his word, because they reject what God says and embrace what mere humans say concerning slavery. This humanistic thinking is what the abolitionists embraced."

Alabama State Senator
citing "Biblical" defenses of slavery

(Another so-called "Christian" who mistakes his own sick subjectivity for "God.")

"I hope I live to see the day, when, as in the early days of our country, we won't have any public schools. The churches will have taken them over again and Christians will be running them. What a happy day that will be!"

— Jerry Falwell
Evil makes Jerry happy!
How well he has fallen!

"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."

— William H. Rehnquist
Chief Injustice
U.S. Supreme Court

"I don't feel we did wrong in taking this great country away from them. There were great numbers of people who needed new land, and the Indians were selfishly trying to keep it for themselves."

— John Wayne
Poor John, the booze
really did a number on his brain cells

— Jerry Falwell
Minister
Religion of Hate

"Billy Graham is the chief servant of Satan in America."

— Jerry Falwell
Jealous as hell
since he's merely
a minor servant of Satan

"John, we have the power. Are we using it to investigate the Jews, you know, that are stealing in every direction? Are we going after their tax returns? I can only hope that we're doing a little persecuting."

— Richard "Tricky Dick" Nixon
President of the United States of America
scheming with John Ehrlichman
