QUOTES:
- “I was born black, I attended all-Negro schools including college, I grew up in the segregated South during Jim Crow. If anybody knows a racist, I do. Pat Buchanan ain’t no racist.”
- “God brought African slaves to America so that their descendants would know freedom”
- “This idea that you come to school hungry — come on! It’s crazy! It’s just so they can bring in all these lunch programs, breakfast programs — next, it’s going to be dinner! . . . That’s not the job of the schools — to feed the children. Let them pay for it or let them bring their own.”
- “The illegals come over [the Arizona border] into the ranches. They kill their cattle. They rape their children. The children can’t play in the yard anymore.”
- “These mental health programs are another thing that needs to be booted out of our schools! Every time there’s a tragedy, they have to send for grief counselors. How totally ridiculous!”
- “Our people were better off under the bondage of slavery than the Marxist ‘Great Society’ of Johnson.”
- “It’s a sad day in America when law makers side with law breakers[illegal aliens] against law abiding citizens”
