Transcript of Cross Afire #11:
Pat, You're Fired!

Jerry Falwell: Pat, you're fired! I've been reading your online articles, and I've discovered you oppose our liberation of Iraq! How can we have an honest debate on this show if you don't already share my views?

Jerry: Must I remind you... We're not here to debate whether Ronald Reagan should be on the dollar bill, but if he belongs on both sides!

Jerry: We don't ask if "under God" belongs in the Pledge, but how many times!

Jerry: We don't ask if kids should pray in school, but whether they should also kneel!

Jerry: We don't debate whether to attack Iraq...

Pat Buchanan: ...we debate which countries to attack next!

Jerry: Exactly!

Pat: But I oppose that!

Jerry: You're fired!

Pat: Well, what if I say I hate gays?

Jerry: You're hired! Welcome back!
