25. That sign is one of the scariest things I've seen

Just because of the sheer ignorance and hubris it takes to even have that as an opinion. Many in the Christian community seem to have become small, mean-spirited, hyper-nationalistic and excessively dogmatic.

Here is a fun little game for you to play.

There are seven quotes below. Try and match them with Karl Rove, Dick Cheney, Glenn Beck, Pat Robertson, Americans for Prosperity (the Koch Brothers), Paul Wolfowitz, and Bill Krystal:

Can you match them? A smiley face is the prize for anyone who gets it right! Good luck!

1) “If you win, you need not explain...If you lose, you should not be there to explain!”

2) "Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it and eventually they will believe it"

3) Universal education is the most corroding and disintegrating poison that liberalism has ever invented for its own destruction

4) People can be made to see paradise as hell, and also the other way round, to consider the most wretched life as paradise

5) He alone, who owns the youth controls the future

6) Woman's world is her husband, her family, her children and her home. We do not find it right when she presses into the world of men

7) Secular schools can never be tolerated because such a school has no religious instruction and a general moral instruction without a religious foundation is built on air; consequently, all character training and religion must be derived from faith . . . We need believing people
