This is too easy.  For a challenge, try to find something intelligent
said by one of these lunatics.

"We are totally opposed to abortion under any circumstances. We are also
opposed to abortifacient drugs and chemicals like the Pill and IUD, and
we are also opposed to all forms of birth control with the exception of
natural family planning." -- Judie Brown, President, American Life League
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I don't think Christians should use birth control. You consummate your
marriage as often as you like -- and if you have babies, you have babies ..."
     -- Randall Terry, Executive Director, Operation Rescue
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Meanwhile, let it be clear what we do: we fight contraception-sterilization-
abortion on six continents ... " -- Fr. Paul Marx, President, Human Life
International
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

"For instance, several years ago we tracked down a twelve-year-old girl
who was going to have an abortion, so that we could talk her out of it.
Talking a woman out of having an abortion is not news. But tracking her
down by using a private detective is."
"For those who say I can't impose my morality on others, I say just watch
me." -- Joseph Scheidler, Executive Director, Pro-Life Action League
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I don't think we should punish the criminal (a rapist) by killing his
child." -- Dr. John Wilke, President, National Right to Life Committee
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

"It's very healthy for a young girl to be deterred from promiscuity by
a fear of contracting a painful, incurable disease, cervical cancer,
or sterility, or the likelihood of giving birth to a dead, blind, or
brain-damaged baby (even ten years later when she may be happily
married)." -- Phyllis Schlafly, President, Eagle Forum
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Resist, expose, or stop immediately every public school or group sex
education program, no matter what it is called, or how it is diffused
into the curriculum." -- Fr. Paul Marx, President, Human Life International
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Yes, religion and politics do mix.  America
is a nation based on Biblical principles.  Christian values
should dominate our government." -- Beverly LaHaye, head of
Concerned Women for America
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

"The people of Eastern Europe got rid of their left wingers, it is
 time we in America got rid of our left wingers!"
            Pat Robertson, in a speech to the delegates of the
            1992 Republican National Convention
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

"There is a religious war going on in our country for the soul of America!"
            Pat Buchanan, in a speech to the delegates of the
            1992 Republican National Convention
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

"No I don't know that atheists should be considered as citizens,
 nor should they be considered patriots. This is one nation under God."
            George Bush, in an interview with Robert Sherman
