"There. . . there’s two things you don’t talk about, one’s politics, the other’s religion. The reason you don’t talk about them is they’re combined in each other. . . know what I’m sayin? "
“Do you know how many time zones there are in the Soviet Union?”

But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
They want to force their religion on others, but they don’t want it to apply to them.
It’s ridiculous
Ah, the Wilhoit Principle again:
Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect. …There is nothing more or else to it, and there never has been, in any place or time

As we’re seeing right now, the breakdown of separation between church and state is one of the most dangerous things that can happen to the USA. This sort of talk should immediately disqualify her from holding any elected office, for life. I’d say exile from the USA would be even better, but the first one is so reasonable that nobody could possibly argue with it- who would ever think that someone clearly in opposition to the basic, core principles of the United States should be allowed into a position of political power? Why, what’s next, an entire political party that’s openly treasonous and anti-democratic?

A lot of us are tired of a lot of things, Bobo. It’s time for you to go away… far away.
