Bob Morris Quotes
… feminists, lesbians, or Communists … radically pro-abortion Planned Parenthood is trying to sexualize young girls through the Girl Scouts.
Morris was the only member of the Indiana Legislature to refuse to sign a resolution celebrating the 100th Anniversary of the Girl Scouts of America. This quotation gives three of his reasons for not doing so. This quotation is particularly interesting as it shows the incredible tolerance the American Political system has for outliers. Morris did not just make these statements to pander to the arch conservative Tea Party constituency as there were other Tea Party members of the legislature who had no trouble with the Girl Scouts and the resolution. He actually believed them, and despite the obvious absurdity of the statements to people without his paranoia, he was willing to state his extreme views publicly. He did apologize after his absurdities, but then still refused to sign the resolution of celebration for the Girl Scouts on the grounds that they taught sex education.

Robertson was so fearful of feminism that he ascribed almost every evil in society to it as well as witchcraft.
She was the first Black woman to be elected to Congress and was the first Black woman to actively campaign for the Presidency
She was a noted feminist and abolitionist. For examples of her quotations, see {269477} & {631363}.
This quotation is hardly believable, even for an ultra extreme, evangelical, Christian, fundamentalist. His paranoia and homophobia went so far as to claim that somehow the only gay Congressman, Jared Polis, was going to bankrupt Christians who did not endorse his homosexuality. How he might do this Klingenschmitt never explained. But then to associate Polis with the Muslim Fundamentalist Terrorist organization ISIS—which executes homosexuals—and claim that Polis would behead Christians in America was over the top. The quotation illustrates the freedom of speech allowed in American political campaigning where the most absurd, libelous, falsehoods are allowed, as well as the fact that an obvious unbalanced person can freely run for office.
