Quotations

Non-criminal sexual harassment on the job is not a problem for the virtuous woman except in the rarest of cases.

The atomic bomb is a marvelous gift that was given to our country by a wise God.

It is long overdue for parents to realize they have the right and duty to protect our children against the intolerant evolutionists.

The worst censors are those prohibiting criticism of the theory of evolution in the classroom.

Men should stop treating feminists like ladies, and instead treat them like the men they say they want to be.

The cornerstone of the political correctness that dominates campus culture is radical feminism.
