"I don't see why we need to stand by and watch a country go communist due to the irresponsibility of its people. The issues are much too important for the Chilean voters to be left to decide for themselves."
"When you give food to the poor, they call you a saint. When you ask why the poor have no food, they call you a communist."
"It is a truism that almost any sect, cult, or religion will legislate its creeds into law if it acquires the political power to do so, and will follow it by suppressing opposition, subverting all education to seize early the minds of the young, and by killing, locking up, or driving underground all heretics."
"Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities."
"If you don't stand for something you will fall for anything."
"The less justified a man is in claiming excellence for his own self, the more ready he is to claim all excellence for his nation, his religion, his race or his holy cause."
"When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag, carrying a cross."
"Secular schools can never be tolerated because such a school has no religious instruction and a general moral instruction without a religious foundation is built on air; consequently, all character training and religion must be derived from faith.... We need believing people."
"I believe in an America where the separation of church and state is absolute--where no Catholic prelate would tell the President (should he be Catholic) how to act, and no Protestant minister would tell his parishioners for whom to vote -- where no church or church school is granted any public funds or political preference -- and where no man is denied public office merely because his religion differs from the President who might appoint him or the people who might elect him."
"To assert that the earth revolves around the sun is as erroneous as to claim that Jesus was not born of a virgin."
"Christian Fundamentalism: The doctrine that there is an absolutely-powerful infinitely-knowledgeable universe-spanning entity that is deeply and personally concerned about my sex life."
"When a man is freed of religion, he has a better chance to live a normal and wholesome life."
"All wonder is the effect of novelty upon ignorance."
"Those who give up liberty for security deserve neither and will lose both."
"It is in no way lawful to demand, to defend, or to grant unconditional freedom of thought, or speech, of writing, or of religion, as if they were so many rights that nature has given to man."
"There is no need to sally forth, for it remains true that those things which make us human are, curiously enough, always close at hand. Resolve, then, that on this very ground, with small flags waving and tinny blasts of tiny trumpets, we shall meet the enemy, and not only may he be ours, he may be us."

What Breed of Liberal I Am
My Liberal Identity:
You are a New Left Hipster, also known as a MoveOn.org liberal, Netroots activist, or Daily Show fanatic. You believe that if we really want to defend American values, conservative hatriots must be exposed and mocked for every fanatical, puritanical, soulless, paranoid, fact-free, obstructionist ideal for which they stand.

Hitler shitler, F Man.
Channel surfing as I ate my supper tonight and passed by Fox News just in time to see some guy yelling about firing squads. So I paused. Somehow or another word got out that the United States is tracking financial transactions in its (our?) effort to find terrorists.
The guy doing the yelling was saying the people who released the information about the financial tracking should be put before a firing squad and shot.He repeated it a couple of times during my short pause in channel surfing.
Firing squads. Firing squads in the United States. A guy on a national news program yelling for firing squads. Firing squads in the United States being advocated by some guy on a national news broadcast.
Firing squads. You know, something to go with the concentration camps and the torture. Firing squads and some guy yelling for them on Fox News. I don't know who the hell that guy was but someone decided to give him a nation-wide broadcast venue so he could go on yelling about firing squads.
The problem is, that while Coulter was/is being ridiculed, she's also gotten millions of dollars of free publicity for her book. I suspect the goofy bitch will willingly take the ridicule for the millions she stands to make..(:
10 out of 14 but I'll admit I was guessing for the most part.
They're interchangeable.
oh- you forgot the secret prisons, the holding people who are suspected terrorists without charging them- for months, the domestic(and now international) mining for information, the tracking and visiting of regular joe's and jane's blogs and emails, phone calls, etc. in america. why would you be surprised that someone is yelling for firing squads? seems to be par for the course these days. i only got 8 right on the quiz. not sure what that means.
I got the same score as granny: 10 out of 14. The way I tried to determine what Adolf and what Ann said was in the use of the language. Ann is so much more pedestrian than Adolf was. Then again, she's not trying to appeal to as wide an audience and the wingnuts aren't known for their appreciation for oratory.
Hitler used much bigger words. Knowing that, I missed two.
Meh, I got 13/14.
