They Said What??? Bishops, Clerics, Madonna, & Bill O’Reilly

PEORIA (IL) BISHOP DANIEL JENKY AT ST.MARY’S CATHEDRAL

“In clear violation of our First Amendment rights, Barack Obama — with his radical, pro-abortion and extreme secularist agenda — now seems intent on following a similar path.”

IRANIAN CLERIC AYATOLLAH ABDOLLAH JAVADI-AMOLI

(on homosexuality):  “Even animals … dogs and pigs don’t engage in this disgusting act, but yet they [western politicians] pass laws in favor of them in their parliaments. If a society commits a new sin, it will face a new punishment. Problems like AIDS did not exist before.”

FORMER REPUBLICAN SECRETARY OF HOMELAND SECURITY AND PENNSYLVANIA GOVERNOR TOM RIDGE

“I think, as a party, we sometimes come across as very judgmental and very self-righteous, and that doesn’t play well to a lot of people.  Not just on political grounds, but in terms of the culture. We accept diversity in many different ways, and we need to be more clear about that and careful to express that.”

THE REVEREND WILLIAM BARBER, PRESIDENT OF THE NORTH CAROLINA CHAPTER OF THE NAACP

(speaking out against the state’s proposed anti-gay measure, Amendment One):  “Whether you agree or disagree with same-sex marriage, that is a personal and religious choice. You should disagree with anybody who is writing hatred and discrimination into the constitution.”

SINGER NICKI MINAJ

(about Madonna)  “She kissed me but I didn’t kiss her.  I wasn’t expecting it and I was shocked. I was thinking, ‘Is this really happening, why is she doing this?'”

LADY GAGA

“I didn’t get into this business for the money, so I don’t spend a thing. But I am so happy. I am not bankrupt. Actually I spend no money at all.  It’s really funny because my manager often calls me and is like, ‘Did you lose your credit card? Did you cut it up? Did you lose it?’ He is like, ‘Why don’t you spend any money?’ It’s because I don’t. I have not gone crazy.”

FOX COMMENTATOR BILL O’REILLY DEBATING WITH GUEST JUDGE JEANINE PIRRO

(on how television shows and movies make kids experiment with being gay and gender identity):

O’REILLY: “If you make it glamorous in a program like Glee, which is undeniably a good program…a lot of these dopey kids are confused about who hey are.  they’re confused.

PIRRO: Yeah, but you know what Bill, that’s one of the things you can’t change about yourself because you think it’s interesting or it’s new.

O’REILLY: But do you want to encourage experimentation in these areas?

PIRRO: We all parent our kids but you can’t parent their sexuality. You’re saying they have a choice in it.”

MADONNA

“Even though I told him in 1984 that I wanted to rule the world, it’s Dick Clark who ruled the world. He loved what he did and his energy and enthusiasm were boundless. A great man. I bow to his memory and everything he did with his life.”

MADONNA

(about her teenager smoking and her parenting):  “(I) wasn’t very happy, but honestly, I don’t think I’m as tough as I should be. I think I need to be maybe tougher. It’s hard — every day is a negotiation. But cigarette smoking I’m not very fond of — for anyone.  It must be hard, because I complain all the time.  It’s pretty challenging. But so far I’ve survived with sanity and humor intact.”

MADONNA

“I find whenever someone writes anything about me, my age is right after my name.  It’s almost like they’re saying, ‘Here she is, but remember she’s this age, so she’s not that relevant anymore.’ Or ‘Let’s punish her by reminding her and everyone else.’ When you put someone’s age down, you’re limiting them.”

SPEAKER AT THE MASSACHUSETTS TEA PARTY COALITION TAX DAY (in Boston)

“We will not be silenced by faggots.”

Anthony
