I said that it’s real, that man has contributed to it in a substantial way. But the problem is Al Gore’s turned this thing into religion. You know, climate change is not a religious problem for me, it’s an economic, it is an environmental problem.

— Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), blaming Al Gore in a speech for the fact that “people of my party are all over the board” when it comes to thinking climate change is real.

Graham: ‘We’re in a Religious War’

Buck Banks

We’re in a religious war. These are not terrorists, these are radical Islamists who are trying to replace our way of life with their way of life. Their way of life is motivated by religious teachings that require me and you to be killed or enslaved or converted. The President of the United States tiptoes around the threats we face and he is trying to diminish the religious aspect of this war. Why? I don’t know.

— Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), in an interview with Hugh Hewitt.
