NewsJim White  |  March 31, 2012

“If you don’t love America, if you don’t like the way we do things, I have one thing to say—get out! We don’t worship Buddha … we don’t worship Muhammad, we don’t worship Allah, we worship God, we worship God’s son Jesus Christ!”
Dennis Terry

“New York Jets fans won’t care if he believes in Hare Krishna if he wins.”
Steve Herz
The president of New York-based IF Management, was referring to Tim Tebow, the evangelical who was traded to the New York Giants. He was quoted by the New York Daily News.

T. D. Jakes
The Dallas megachurch pastor was writing in the Huffington Post about murdered teen Trayvon Martin of Florida.

“In the minds of millions of Americans, family planning of any kind equals abortion. Facts tell a different story: It is the lack of family planning that often leads to abortion.”
