POLITICAL QUOTES: Who Said It?

4. Who Said It?


The times in which we live and work are changing dramatically. The
workers of our parents' generation typically had one job, one skill,
one career often with one company that provided health care and a
pension. And most of those workers were men. Today, workers change
jobs, even careers, many times during their lives, and in one of the
most dramatic shifts our society has seen, TWO-THIRDS OF ALL MOMS
ALSO WORK OUTSIDE THE HOME.

5. Who said it?


"Guns have little or nothing to do with juvenile violence. The
causes of youth violence are working parents who put their kids into
daycare, the teaching of evolution in the schools, and WORKING
MOTHERS who take birth control pills."

6. Who said it?

Unique among the nations, America recognized the source of our
character as being godly and eternal, not being civic and temporal.
And because we have understood that our source is eternal, America
has been different. We have no king but Jesus.

our nation begins to resemble what we pray it will become. But now,
through a renewed spiritual emphasis and a much broader ministry
outreach, Christian Coalition of America is leading American
citizens in a prayer of thanksgiving to the One who has brought us
this far... to God be the glory.

15. Who said it?

Government, by recognizing and protecting marriage, serves the
interests of all. Today I call upon the Congress to promptly pass,
and to send to the states for ratification, an AMENDMENT TO OUR
CONSTITUTION defining and protecting marriage as a union of man and
woman as husband and wife.

16. Who said it?


I finally arrived here in 1968. I had empty pockets, but I was full
of dreams. The presidential campaign was in full swing. I remember
watching the Nixon and Humphrey presidential race on TV. A friend
who spoke German and English, translated for me. I heard Humphrey
saying things that sounded like socialism, which is what I had just
left. But then I heard Nixon speak. He was talking about free
enterprise, getting government off your back, lowering taxes and
strengthening the military. Listening to Nixon speak sounded more
like a breath of fresh air.

18. Who said it?



"Nixon was always being attacked sexually. It was always said that
he was a fag and that he had no sexual relations with his wife for
15 years and that was why he liked power. And Hitler had only one
ball, and that was why he wanted to conquer the world."
