teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

I'd put it no higher than surprised - that he said it out loud. Note that it was criticized as disgusting and insensitive, not that it wasn't true. Probably ought to send a car out to his house to see if he's keeping any kids in the basement.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
You'd think that if they're willing to consider fatal cases of child abuse as some sort of best-case scenario because they don't grow up to ask for government-funded social services, they'd just do a 180 on abortion. After all, every pregnancy that ends in an abortion is one less kid sucking off the government's teat.

How about making a law that says people who don't like drag shows don't have to go to one?
The meek shall inherit the Earth, the rest of us will fly to the stars.
