More from Ben Stein
It doesn’t bother me a bit when people say, ‘Merry Christmas’ to me. I don’t think they are slighting me or getting ready to put me in a ghetto. In fact, I kind of like it.

Ben SteinBen Stein You can do what you think you can do and you cannot do what you think you cannot
Ben SteinBen Stein I have talent at playing myself. I don’t have a very broad range, but at playing myself I am a wizard. It’s more than fun; it’s the best job on Earth.

Ben SteinBen Stein For me, I’ve always believed that there was a God. I’ve always believed that God created the heavens and earth – so, for me it’s not a huge leap from there to intelligent design.
Ben SteinBen Stein I have always been very concerned that Darwinism gave the basic okay to terrible racism and to the idea of murder based upon race.
Ben SteinBen Stein I tell you why I don’t think I will ever vote for a Democrat, if I may say so. Because for me, the number one issue is right to life, and I don’t think the Democrats are very good on the right-to-life issue.
