QUACKY QUOTES
Hovind believes that if you teach schoolchildren
that they evolved from apes, they will start acting like them. He thinks drug
use, sexually transmitted diseases and an increased crime rate among teens is
partly based on the exclusive teaching of evolution. When Griesmaier countered
that European countries have a lower violent crime rate and a lower rate of
church attendance than the United States, Hovind took issue with the countries
(which included England, France, and the Netherlands) in his opponent’s example.
“Those decreased murder rates were
all from countries with socialistic governments and total gun control,”
said Hovind. “I’ll take my gun, thank you.” Griesmaier

Blaming guns for Columbine [school
shooting] is like blaming scones for Rosie O'Donnell being fat.

Session #1
If every teacher in public
school was required to be armed, all you’d have to do is run into any
classroom. “Hey, teacher, there’s boys
out there shooting everybody.” “Okay kids,
turn to page 37 and read that. I’ll be
right back.” [Mimic of gun fire]

GUN CONTROL! That is
what the Branch Davidian compound attack was all about. David Koresh was
a gun collector and a tax evader. Boy, they didn't like him, and one of
the purposes for that raid was to scare the American people into
submission. You better register your firearms. Make sure they
know. They might come for you as they did for Koresh.

Did you know that in Switzerland
every household must have a fully automatic machine gun and 1,000 rounds of
ammunition? [.....] Have you noticed that Switzerland has
never been invaded? Would you invade a country like that? Gun
control is stupid!
Hovind
seems unaware that Switzerland is politically neutral - yikes! The Swiss
have a civialian guard instead of a formal army. Source: Unmasking the False

We [the
USA] are bankrupt, but they cannot really cash in and foreclose on the
mortgage because too many people still have guns.
