Quotes of the Day

Some comments on the election...

"Despite what some may claim, the nation is not lurching to the left socially. In exit polling commissioned by FRC, voters were asked where "moral values" ranked in their list of priorities. Back in 2004, 22% of voters rated moral issues as their first priority when voting. Yesterday, in the midst of the greatest economic challenge in over two generations 20% of voters still cited "moral issues" as their first or second priority. Trust me, the issues we care about and those who care about them are not going away."

"The fact that Obama’s full record was left largely unexposed is not solely the fault of the liberal media. Sen. McCain gave Obama the free pass of the century by NOT talking about the Illinois Senator’s radical anti-DOMA plan, his campaign promise to open up the military to homosexuality, and Obama’s pro-abortion extremism. We at AFTAH will give President-elect Obama no such free pass!

The good news is that pro-natural marriage amendments passed in California, Florida and Arizona. Had McCain championed those ballot measures – Florida’s passed by 63 percent -- he might be president today. Often it seems as if liberal (“moderate”) Republicans would rather lose elections than espouse pro-family policies, but the whole country suffers when such calculations are made. Stay strong as we stand up for truth in these trying times!"

"The bottom line is clear and distressing. The country has just elected an untested, far left candidate to the presidency of the United States. From the sanctity of life to our national security, the implications are more than disturbing. And with news of Obama’s victory comes renewed violence in the Middle East. Not even 24-hours after Obama’s election, our Islamofascist enemies are on the move."
