Who are beneficiaries of the Court's protection? Members of various minorities including criminals, atheists, homosexuals, flag burners, illegal immigrants (including terrorists), convicts, and pornographers. [US Presidential candidate Pat Buchanan, Address to the Heritage Foundation, January 29, 1996]
And how can we ever again succeed in educating children to become moral men and women if, in America's public schools, we consciously deny them all religious instruction, and deny them access to that primary source of morality, God's own word. The Bible is the one book from which they are expressly not allowed to be taught. [US Presidential candidate Pat Buchanan, The City and The Crusade, Commencement Address for Christendom College, May 6, 1996]
What's the Christian-bashing all about? Simple- a struggle for the soul of America is under way, a struggle to determine whose views, values, beliefs and standards will serve as the basis of law. [US Presidential candidate Pat Buchanan, Washington Times, June 15, 1995]
And it is, I am persuaded, not some deep-seated love of the downtrodden Xhosa or Zulu that has caused America's press and clergy to insist upon the most severe of sanctions upon South Africa. (After all, Ndebele, Hutu, Tutsi, Ibo and countless tribal peoples have been massacred in far greater numbers in modern Africa, without a peep of protest from these same sources.)
The spirit driving the anti-apartheid coalition worldwide is not love at all; it is hatred, and not just hatred of apartheid, but hatred of the Boer, hatred of Botha, his party and people, hatred of the 19th century idea they embody - the idea that the Christian West, because of the superiority of its values and the civilization those values produced, has an inherent right to rule over other peoples. [Patrick J. Buchanan. Why has Appeal of Communism Endured for So Many?]
Our culture is superior. Our culture is superior because our religion is Christianity and that is the truth that makes men free. [US Presidential candidate Pat Buchanan, speech to the Christian Coalition, Sept. 1993, as reported in ADL Report, 1994]
We need to do more than win an election or win the House or win the presidency, my friends: we need to make this beloved country of ours God's country once again. [Pat Buchanan at the Christian Coalition 1995 Road to Victory Conference, as reported in the October 1995 issue of Church and State]
We're going to bring back God and the Bible and drive the gods of secular humanism right out of the public schools of America. [Presidential candidate Pat Buchanan addressing anti-gay rally in Des Moines, 2-11-96]
