Here you go logic...Quotes
On abortion:
"I don't care about the circumstances of a child's conception. You want to execute somebody in the case of rape, execute the rapist and let the unborn child live."
- From the New York Times [2/24/96]
On race relations in the 1940s and 1950s:
"There were no politics to polarize us then, to magnify every slight. The 'negroes' of Washington had their public schools, restaurants, bars, movie houses, playgrounds and churches; and we had ours." - From Right from the Beginning, Buchanan's 1988 autobiography [p. 131]
From an April 1969 memo where Buchanan urges President Nixon not to visit Martin Luther King's widow on the first anniversary of King's death: "[this visit would] outrage many, many people who believe Dr. King was a fraud and a demagogue and perhaps worse... Others consider him the Devil incarnate. Dr. King is one of the most divisive men in contemporary history." - From New York Daily News [10/1/90]
On civil rights groups:
"George Bush should have told the [NAACP convention] that black America has grown up; that the NAACP should close up shop, that its members should go home and reflect on JFK's admonition: 'Ask not what your country can do for you, but rather ask what you can do for your country.'" - From his syndicated coloumn [7/26/88]
On the United Nations and other international organizations:
"We believe "independence forever." We will reclaim every lost ounce of American sovereignty. We will lead this country out of the WTO, out of the IMF, and I will personally tell Kofi Annan: Your UN lease has run out; you will be moving out of the United States, and if you are not gone by year's end, I will send you ten thousand Marines to help you pack your bags." - From his Reform Party acceptance speech [8/14/00]
On the US's move to sanction apartheid South Africa:
"Why are Americans collaborating in a U.N. conspiracy to ruin [South Africa] with sanctions?" - From his syndicated column [9/17/89]
On race and people of color:
"There is nothing wrong with us sitting down and arguing that issue that we are a European country." - From Newsday [11/15/92]
On affirmative-action:
"How, then, can the feds justify favoring sons of Hispanics over sons of white Americans who fought in World War II or Vietnam?" - From his syndicated column [1/23/95]
On multiculturalism:
"...an across-the-board assault on our Anglo-American heritage." - From a speech given to the Christian Coalition in September 1993
On Capitol Hill:
"Israeli occupied territory" - From the St. Louis Post Dispatch [10/20/90]
On other religions:
"Our culture is superior. Our culture is superior because our religion is Christianity and that is the truth that makes men free." - From a speech given to the Christian Coalition in September 1993, as reported by an ADL 1994 report
On homosexuals:
"Homosexuality involves sexual acts most men consider not only immoral, but filthy. The reason public men rarely say aloud what most say privately is they are fearful of being branded 'bigots' by an intolerant liberal orthodoxy that holds, against all evidence and experience, that homosexuality is a normal, healthy lifestyle." - From a syndicated column [9/3/89]
"Homosexuality is not a civil right. Its rise almost always is accompanied, as in the Weimar Republic, with a decay of society and a collapse of its basic cinder block, the family." - From New Republic [3/30/92]
On women:
"Rail as they will about 'discrimination,' women are simply not endowed by nature with the same measures of single-minded ambition and the will to succeed in the fiercely competitive world of Western capitalism." - From a syndicated column [11/22/83]
"The real liberators of American women were not the feminist noise-makers, they were the automobile, the supermarket, the shopping center, the dishwasher, the washer-dryer, the freezer." - From Right from the Beginning [p. 149]
On Spanish dictator Francisco Franco:
"Catholic savior" - From Right from the Beginning
On David Duke:
"Take a hard look at Duke's portfolio of winning issues and expropriate those not in conflict with GOP principles, [such as] reverse discrimination against white folks." - From a syndicated column [2/25/89]
