It is the Democratic Congress, the liberal-based media and the homosexuals who want to destroy the Christians. Wholesale abuse and discrimination and the worst bigotry directed toward any group in America today. More terrible than anything suffered by any minority in history."

"I would warn Orlando that you're right in the way of some serious hurricanes, and I don't think I'd be waving those flags in God's face if I were you, This is not a message of hate—this is a message of redemption.

God says, 'This land belongs to me. You better leave it alone.'" –On why Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon suffered a massive stroke

"You know, I don't know about this doctrine of assassination, but if he thinks we're trying to assassinate him, I think that we really ought to go ahead and do it. It's a whole lot cheaper than starting a war... We have the ability to take him out, and I think the time has come that we exercise that ability. We don't need another $200 billion war to get rid of one, you know, strong-arm dictator.

And so, the devil said, okay it's a deal. Ever since they have been cursed by one thing after the other." –On the earthquake in Haiti that destroyed the capital and killed tens of thousands of people, Jan. 13, 2010
