On Civil Rights: Posting Ten Commandments will reduce crime

Gary Bauer took partial credit for [drafting a bill to post the Ten Commandments in schools]. "I believe if more American children read the Ten Commandments and are taught what they mean, they will predictably engage in less crime," he said, noting the sentiment for religion in the schools after the recent student massacre in Colorado. "I went to Littleton, Colo.," Bauer said. "What you see are little handmade signs everywhere, ‘Let our children pray,' and ‘Bring religion back in to our schools.'"

On Education: For school prayer & Ten Commandments in schools

[Bauer] said that having the Ten Commandments and prayer in school would help avoid tragedies such as the one in Littleton, Colorado. Saying church and state have been separated to a degree never intended by the founding fathers, Bauer pointed to an example of what he called "a tremendous hostility to men and women of faith" from the high school shooting.

On Government Reform: No campaign contributions from Hollywood

Bauer called for both Republican and Democratic parties to stop taking campaign contributions from the entertainment industry. He said those "Hollywood moguls and corporations" are "laughing all the way the bank with the millions that are being made from the sludge they are pouring into the cultural stream that our kids are being exposed to."

On Gun Control: New gun laws won't prevent Littleton

Eighteen gun laws were violated that day in Littleton, Colorado. I don't think anyone believes a 19th or 20th is going to stop the tragedies that we are seeing.
