10. They will welcome us with flowers.

11. Yoga is the anti-Christ.

12. America is a Christian nation.

13. Our safety is more important than the Constitution.

14. Waterboarding only hurts for a minute.

15. Information obtained from waterboarding has prevented terrorist attacks.

16. A former Governor of Arkansas may not agree with a liberal agenda but does not question their right to exist.

17. Everything that happened during the regime of a former mayor of New York was good.
