Now, obviously a society that embraces homosexuality to the point of the majority swinging that way exclusively is going to face reproductive challenges, but otherwise . . . Oh, yes, Hellenic civilization only lasted a few decades, we all know that.
I thought it was dumbasses.
Never send a gay terrorist to blow a bus. He will burn his lips on the tailpipe.
D&R…
Oh - a Kern is a the corn kernel in my loosest stool.
And she won’t get punished for it, won’t have to step down, and will probably get re-elected by like minded yokels. Yay America!
A few decades? :eek:
That means we have maybe 15 years left, tops!
About all we deserve for putting folks like that in office. Her wiki page says she also sponsored legislation that calls for YECs to get passing grades in Earth Science. I thought my legislature was screwy, OK, it is, but towards the “not batshit crazy” end of the spectrum.
What I really like is how the homosexuality part was so repugnant that nobody’s even noticed the fact that Islam is on par with terrorism as the comparison threats. 
True story. I once interned for a pretty conservative legislator. By no means was the office, or the legislator, gay friendly. He had, in fact, voted against gay rights pretty consistantly, and was on record condemning homosexuality.
Anyway, it was near the end of my internship, and the intern coordinator was going over the applications for new interns to replace me. And part of that was a worksheet they had to fill out with questions, and one of the questions was, “What, in your mind, is the greatest danger America faces today?” One of the respondents wrote down “The growing acceptance of homosexuality.”
The intern coordinator, who was, remember, a conservative Southern Baptist and every bit as anti-gay as his boss, showed me the answer, rolled his eyes, and said, “This guy needs to get his priorities straight.”
Sally Kern needs to get her priorities straight.
Shouldn’t we have some sort of coded alert system, like we got for terror?
They must breed them in Oklahoma; she’s not the first to express this same sentiment. The lovely Senator Tom Coburn preceded her with this gem:
My wife played the video clip for me earlier so I broke out my bible and started reading out of Leviticus. If this lady is so obsessed with homosexuality being wrong because the bible says so, she should follow all that other stuff too, right? I couldn’t help but notice she cuts her hair. Oh well, we better stone the bitch.
I don’t know how Sally Kern can say anything against homosexuality. Around these parts it’s pretty common knowledge that the only reason Texas doesn’t fall into the Gulf of Mexico is because Oklahoma sucks. :o 
ETA: Not to say that Texas doesn’t have it’s own share, and then some, of bone-headed evangelical gay-bashing morons. It just didn’t fit in with the Okahoma joke.
Pink alert people, we have a pink alert. Homosexuals are on the move, THIS IS NOT A DRILL!
People like Kern can go get stuffed as far as I am concerned.
heh heh… from an old email I came across today while tidying up my mail folders:
Dear Politician;
Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God’s Law. I have
learned a great deal from you and understand why you would propose and
support a constitutional amendment banning same sex marriage. As you said,
“in the eyes of God marriage is based between a man and a woman.” I try to
share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to
defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that
Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination… End of debate.
I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some other elements of
God’s Laws and how to follow them.
-
Leviticus 25:44 states that I may possess slaves, both male and female,
provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine
claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify?
Why can’t I own Canadians? -
I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus
21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her? -
I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her
period of menstrual uncleanness - Lev.15: 19-24. The problem is how do I
tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense. -
When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord - Lev.1:9. The problem is, my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?
-
I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2. clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself, or should I ask the police to do it?
-
A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination - Lev. 11:10, it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don’t agree. Can you settle this? Are there ‘degrees’ of abomination?
-
Lev.21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle-room here?
-
Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around
their temples, even though Lev. 19 expressly forbids this: How should
they die? -
I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me
unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves? -
My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev.19:19 by planting two different
crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two
different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse
and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of
getting the whole town together to stone them? Lev.24:10-16. Couldn’t we
just burn them to death at a private family affair, like we do with people
who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14)
I know you have studied these things extensively and thus enjoy considerable
expertise in such matters, so I am confident you can help.
Thank you again for reminding us that God’s word is eternal and unchanging.
What was scariest to me was the part where she warned that kids’ lives are ruined by joining Gay/Straight Alliances and such at school, which had prompted her to push for legislation forcing schools to inform students’ parents of which clubs they participate in.
Extremely interesting… Minor hijack: do you guys know of more verses that would be considered unacceptable today? Or a web site dedicated to cataloguing them? I tried Googling for it, but unfortunately I get a lot of sites written by people that don’t take this critical approach.
There are some really interesting assertions in that quote that just leave questions hanging…
How does homosexuality spread? Does the speaker fear that she, too, might be inclined to give it a try?
How, exactly, will homosexuality destroy a nation? (With great style, obviously, but details!)
Seriously, with all the issues facing the world today, what with environmental degradation and greenhouse emissions, with the increasing unrest in the world economies and potential security threats, with wars and famine and kiddies dying from lack of medical care and freaks going on rampages and killing innocent folks in shopping centres and universities and the like, and she reckons GAYS are the biggest threat?
Fuck me dead.
What the FUCK is wrong with these people? Can’t they see that their opinions and ideas/ideals are just plain wrong? I’m all for freedom of speech etc, but there are times when spouting off shit like that makes ME want to get a gun and practice involuntary euthanasia…to put fuckheads like that out of MY misery.
We’ve got enough problems in this world without adding imaginary ones like Teh Gay Plague fer’ fucksakes.
Can someone help me here? Do these extreme right-wing, fundie folk really believe all their own drivel, or do they have their own hidden agenda…to whit, just conscripting other ignorant mouth-breathers with money to pump into ‘Teh Cause’ and keep the conservative wheels groaning?
It’s just that here in Aus, whilst I’m sure we have equally strident fuckheads, they are rather less vocal about their beliefs mainly because they’d get howled down very quickly by the majority liberals. Most people keep their religious and ethical beliefs to themselves and the ones who DO proclaim them are much the object of derision and ridicule…and thus they don’t tend to attract new recruits all that often.
Having just now seen the nutter’s photo, I think I see the problem. No doubt she’s been hit on by a number of men, only to have them awkwardly excuse themselves and rush hurriedly away when they realize that she’s a woman. (I know 350lb 6’ 4" “bears” who make better looking women than she does and they can do it without shaving!) She figures that if teh gayness is outlawed, then she’ll finally be able to score one of them hot gayboys for herself (since they no doubt look better than any straight guy who’d want to boink her). Og knows that if she and I were stranded on a desert island alone together, I’d screw coconuts stuffed with bananas before I ever bonked her.
