  • The atomic bomb is a marvelous gift that was given to our country by a wise God.[2]
  • ERA means abortion funding, means homosexual privileges, means whatever else.[3]
  • The judges' obsession with smut is astounding.[4]
  • Minors are an intended audience for the highly profitable sex industry. Impressionable teenagers are easily persuaded to have abortions, and homosexual clubs in high school are designed for the young.[4]
  • It is long overdue for parents to realize they have the right and duty to protect our children against the intolerant evolutionists.[5]
  • The worst censors are those prohibiting criticism of the theory of evolution in the classroom.[5]
  • And the first commandment of feminism is: I am woman; thou shalt not tolerate strange gods who assert that women have capabilities or often choose roles that are different from men's.[6]
  • Men should stop treating feminists like ladies, and instead treat them like the men they say they want to be.[6]
  • The cornerstone of the political correctness that dominates campus culture is radical feminism.[6]
  • When will American men learn how to stand up to the nagging by the intolerant, uncivil feminists whose sport is to humiliate men?[6]
  • Many professors are Marxists or other varieties of radicals who hate America.[7]
  • Driver's licenses are a crucial national security issue.[8]
  • People think that child-support enforcement benefits children, but it doesn't.[9]
  • Every country that has experimented with women in actual combat has abandoned the idea, and the notion that Israel uses women in combat is a feminist myth.[10]
  • By getting married, the woman has consented to sex, and I don't think you can call it rape.[11]

  • Feminism is doomed to failure because it is based on an attempt to repeal and restructure human nature.
  • It's very healthy for a young girl to be deterred from promiscuity by fear of contracting a painful, incurable disease, or cervical cancer, or sterility, or the likelihood of giving birth to a dead, blind, or brain-damage [sic] baby even ten years later when she may be happily married.
  • Sex education classes are like in-home sales parties for abortions.
  • What I am defending is the real rights of women. A woman should have the right to be in the home as a wife and mother.
