"[E]ven if all private wealth were to be confiscated by the government, and tax rates raised to 100%, it would not be near enough to head off the debt crisis now galloping at full speed toward the U.S. economy.

"My wife and I were looking desperately for a baby to adopt, even while I was throwing them [aborted babies] in the garbage at the rate of nine and 10 a week."
-- Anthony Levantino, an ob-gyn from Troy, New York.

"We basically put them [aborted babies] down the garbage disposal if they were small enough. We hardly ever sent anything to the laboratory for pathology unless there was something weird going on and the doctor wanted to make sure he wouldn't get sued."
-- Nita Whitten, chief secretary at the Dallas abortion clinic of Dr. Curtis Booyd"

"I've seen doctors walk out after three hours' work and split $4,500 between them on a Saturday morning -- more if you go longer into the day. Of the four clinics I've worked in, none of them ever showed that they collected the doctors' money; they collect it separately, and do not show it on any of the records in those clinics. That way, the doctors are independent contractors and the clinic doesn't have to be concerned with their malpractice insurance, and doesn't have to report their income to the IRS."
-- Carol Everett, who worked in four abortion clinics in which 800 abortions were performed monthly.

"A student attains 'higher order thinking' when he no longer believes in right or wrong. A large part of what we call good teaching is a teacher's ability to obtain effective objectives by challenging the student's fixed beliefs. . . a large part of what we call teaching is that the teacher should be able to use education to reorganize a child's thoughts, attitudes, and feelings."
-- Benjamin Bloom, psychologist and educational theorist in Major Categories in the Taxonomy of Educational Objectives, page 185, 1956.

"Every child in America entering school at the age of five is insane because he comes to school with certain allegiances to our founding fathers, toward our elected officials, toward his parents, toward a belief in a supernatural being, and toward the sovereignty of this nation as a separate entity. It's up to you as teachers to make all these sick children well -- by creating the international child of the future."
-- Dr. Chester M. Pierce, address to the childhood International Education Seminar, 1973."

"Education should aim at destroying free will so that after pupils are thus schooled, they will be incapable throughout the rest of their lives of thinking or acting otherwise than as their school masters would have wished. . ."
-- Bertrand Russell, quoting Johann Gottlieb Fichte, the head of philosophy and psychology who influenced Hegel and others -- Prussian University in Berlin, 1810.

"[E]very time someone dies as a result of floods in Bangladesh, an airline executive should be dragged out of his office and drowned."
-- BBC favorite and Guardian columnist George Monbiot, espousing the "logic" that airlines create greenhouse gases, which cause global warming, which creates floods in Bangladesh. [This man needs help.]

"Most employees under this [school-to-work] model [now in place in public schools across the country] need not be educated. It is far more important that they be reliable, steady, and willing to follow directions."

"So I think the solution is to get the public, in an emotional, story-driven way, behind the goal of an abolition of handguns and automatic weapons."
-- Disney CEO Michael Eisner, on CNBC's "Power Lunch," admitting that since facts and truth aren't on the side of those who wish to ban guns, anti-gun folks should play on emotions in an effort to outlaw civilian ownership of handguns.

"First of all, federal or state laws would need to make it a crime punishable by a $1,000 fine and one year in prison per weapon to possess a firearm. The population would then be given three months to turn in their guns, without penalty. Hunters would be able to deposit their hunting weapons in a centrally located arsenal, heavily guarded, from which they would be able to withdraw them each hunting season upon presentation of a valid hunting license. The weapons would be required to be redeposited at the end of the season on pain of arrest."
-- Dan Simpson, associate editor of the Pittsburg Post Gazette, in an editorial titled "Disarm America: Here's How," seemingly oblivious to the idea that guns are used for protection.

"Not all of us are so proud and triumphant about the gun-guarantee clause. The right to free speech, press, religion and assembly and so on seem to be working well, but the gun part, not so much."
-- Tom Plate, former L.A. Times editorial page editor, in a CNN editorial titled 'Let's lay down our right to bear arms."

"Hey, I want to tell you something, OK? And I want to leave a message for you right now. 'Cause again, it's 10:30 here in New York on a Wednesday, and once again I've made an ass of myself trying to get to a phone to call you at a specific time.

At 11 o'clock in the morning in New York and if you don't pick up the phone at 10 o'clock at night. And you don't even have the [expletive] phone turned on. I want you to know something, OK?"

"I'm tired of playing this game with you. I'm leaving this message with you to tell you you have insulted me for the last time. You have insulted me. You don't have the brains or the decency as a human being. I don't give a damn that you're 12 years old, or 11 years old, or that you're a child, or that your mother is a thoughtless pain in the ass who doesn't care about what you do as far as I'm concerned. You have humiliated me for the last time with this phone."

I'm going to let you know just how disappointed in you I am and how angry I am with you that you've done this to me again. You've made me feel like s--t and you've made me feel like a fool over and over and over again. And this crap you pull on me with this [expletive] phone situation that you would never dream of doing to your mother and you do it to me constantly and over and over again. I am going to get on a plane and I am going to come out there for the day and I am going to straighten your ass out when I see you."

"Do you understand me? I'm going to really make sure you get it. Then I'm going to get on a plane and I'm going to turn around and come home.

"Religion promotes the hatred and spite against gays. [. . .] From my point of view, I would ban religion completely. Organized religion doesn't seem to work. It turns people into really hateful lemmings and it's not really compassionate."

"[I]f you can breed cattle for milk yield, horses for running speed, and dogs for heralding skill, why on Earth should it be impossible to breed humans for mathematical, musical or athletic ability? I wonder whether, some 60 years after Hitler's death, we might at least venture to ask what the moral difference is between breeding for musical ability and forcing a child to take music lessons. Or why is it acceptable to train fast runners and high jumpers but not to breed them?"
-- Dr. Richard Dawkins, leading international anti-religion crusader and supporter of Darwinian theory.

"Yes, [it would be okay to kill a disabled baby] if that was in the best interests of the baby and of the family as a whole. Many people find this shocking, yet they support a woman's right to have an abortion."

"Today, life on Earth is disappearing faster than the days when dinosaurs breathed their last, but for a very different reason. . . . Us (sic) homo sapiens are turning out to be as destructive a force as any asteroid. Earth's intricate web of ecosystems thrived for minions of years as natural paradises, until we came along, paved paradise, and put up a parking lot. Our assault on nature is killing off the very things we depend on for our own lives. . . . The stark reality is that there are simply too many of us, and we consume way too much, especially here at home. . . . It will take a massive global effort to make things right, but the solutions are not a secret: control population, recycle, reduce consumption, develop green technologies."
-- Matt Lauer, hosting "Count-down to Doomsday," a two-hour special on the Sci-Fi Channel June 14.

"We basically put them [aborted human beings] down the garbage disposal if they were small enough. We hardly ever sent anything to the laboratory for pathology unless there was something weird going on and the doctor wanted to make sure he wouldn't get sued."
