discover the gene that says the kid’s gonna be gay. How many parents, if they
knew before the kid was gonna be born, [that he] was gonna be gay, they would
take the pregnancy to term? Well, you don’t know but let’s say half of them
said, “Oh, no, I don’t wanna do that to a kid.” [Then the] gay community finds
out about this. The gay community would do the fastest 180 and become pro-life
faster than anybody you’ve ever seen. … They’d be so against abortion if it was
discovered that you could abort what you knew were gonna be gay babies.”

about the college co-ed Susan Fluke [sic] who goes before a congressional
committee and essentially says that she must be paid to have sex — what does

contraception. She wants you and me and the taxpayers to pay her to have sex.”

I’m offering a compromise today: I will buy all of the women at Georgetown
University as much aspirin to put between their knees as they want. … So Miss
Fluke and the rest of you feminazis, here’s the deal. If we are going to pay
for your contraceptives and thus pay for you to have sex, we want something. We
want you to post the videos online so we can all watch.”

National Organization for Women’s membership and proclivities, it’s no wonder
that people now view the NOW gang as being obsessed with only two issues:
abortion rights and lesbian rights.
I prefer to call the
most obnoxious feminists what they really are: feminazis. The term describes
any female who is intolerant of any point of view that challenges militant
feminism. I often use it to describe women who are obsessed with perpetuating a
modern-day holocaust: abortion.
A feminazi is a
woman to whom the most important thing in life is seeing to it that as many
abortions as possible are performed. Their unspoken reasoning is quite simple.
Abortion is the single greatest avenue for militant women to exercise their
quest for power and advance their belief that men aren’t necessary. Nothing
matter but me, says the feminazi; the is an unviable tissue mass. Feminazis
have adopted abortion as a kind of sacrament for their religion/politics of
alienation and bitterness.”

forward, somebody propose it, liberals should not be allowed to buy guns. It’s
just that simple. Liberals should have their speech controlled and not be
allowed to buy guns. I mean if we want to get serious about this, if we want to
face this head on, we’re gonna have to openly admit, liberals should not be
allowed to buy guns, nor should they be allowed to use computer keyboards or
typewriters, word processors or e-mails, and they should have their speech
controlled. If we did those three or four things, I can’t tell you what a sane,
calm, civil, fun-loving society we would have. Take guns out of the possession,
out of the hands of liberals, take their typewriters and their keyboards away
from ‘em, don’t let ‘em anywhere near a gun, and control their speech. You
would wipe out 90% of the crime, 85 to 95% of the hate, and a hundred percent
of the lies from society.”

because they’re starving to death out there because there’s no school meal
being provided, one of the benefits of school being out, college campi being
vacant this time of year, is that our audience levels go up. I think, you know
what we’re going to do here, we’re going to start a feature on this program:
“Where to find food.” For young demographics, where to find food. Now that
school is out, where to find food. We can have a daily feature on this. And
this will take us all the way through the summer. Where to find food. And, of
course, the first will be: “Try your house.” It’s a thing called the
refrigerator. You probably already know about it. Try looking there.”

hardly make up for the near extinction.
