“Surely, he is the most politically incorrect leader on
\nearth. He calls abortion a sin against God and murder of the innocent. He calls
\nhomosexuality unnatural and immoral. He opposes all extramarital sexual
\nrelations. He is old, stooped and suffering from Parkinson’s, and slurs his
\nwords. He is decried by elites as a hopeless reactionary. Yet he remains the
\nmost beloved leader on earth…. What explains the extraordinary attraction Pope
\nJohn Paul II has, especially for the young? …Clearly, it must have to do with
\nthe saintliness of the man and the strength of his message, a message at war
\nwith what the secular world teaches about how to live. The young are something
\nthis man has, and the world has not…. As the world has hated me, so also it
\nwill hate you, Christ said. But in America, too many bishops and cardinals were
\nwilling to yield to the demands of the world, because they could not endure
\nbeing hated by the world. But John Paul II was not among them. Apparently, he
\nnever bothered reading The New York Times…. The Church needs more brave
\northodox bishops like the Bishop of Rome. Like the Marines, we need a few good
\nmen<\/font>.” –Pat Buchanan
“The judges [who want ‘under
\nGod’ out of the Pledge of Allegiance] simply do not understand the First
\nAmendment. It does not bar religious expression in public settings or anywhere
\nelse. In fact, it expressly PROHIBITS federal interference in the free
\nexpression of religion. Far from mandating strict secularism in schools, it
\ninstead bars the federal government from prohibiting the Pledge of Allegiance,
\nschool prayer, or any other religious expression. The politicians and judges
\npushing the removal of religion from public life are violating the First
\nAmendment, not upholding it.<\/font>” –Rep. Ron Paul
