PhoboQuotable – Andrea Lafferty

“Every state will be forced to make cross-dressers, drag queens, transsexuals, and she-males (male-female hybrids) into protected classes. Therefore, every school district in America will be forbidden by law to reassign any she-male teacher because this would be considered ‘discrimination.’ Thus, children will be trapped in classes taught by men who dress as women, and students will be indoctrinated to …

PhoboQuotable – Bryan Fischer

“Defense Secretary Robert Gates has been suggesting that the military might not expel a service member whose sexual preference is revealed by a third party. That’s utterly irrelevant.

AFA’s Bryan Fischer: The Bible Calls For Sea World Staff To Be Put To Death

“What about the term ‘killer whale’ do SeaWorld officials not understand? If the counsel of the Judeo-Christian tradition had been followed, Tillikum would have been put out of everyone’s misery back in 1991 and would not have had the opportunity to claim two more human lives. Says the ancient civil code of Israel, ‘When an ox gores a man or …

PhoboQuotable – Bryan Fischer

“Think for a moment of the current social controversies that could potentially be avoided if homosexual conduct was still against the law. Gays in the military: problem solved. We shouldn’t make a place for habitual felons in the armed forces. End of discussion, end of controversy. If someone objects, ask them which other felonies the military ought to overlook in …

Modern day …
