This was never a contest, Republicans. You didn't have to elevate every last far-far-right jackass to elected office.
Colorado state Rep. Gordon Klingenschmitt (R) said on Monday that it would be “better” for the Boy Scouts of America to drown its gay scoutmasters in the “depths of the sea” instead of lifting a ban on them. [...]
“If your boy is in one of those organizations, you need to get him out of there,” he warned. “Because what they’re going to do is promote homosexual men to mentoring and camping with your boys in the woods. And it will lead to child abuse… The children are in danger. It’s not about the sexual pleasure of the adults.” [...]
“This is what Jesus said about child molesters,” the Republican lawmaker insisted. “If you are going to cause a child to sin, it would be better if you just had a millstone hung around your neck and you were drowned in the depths of the sea. Compared to the judgement that almighty God is going to implement on child molesters when he throws them into hell.”
This would be the far-right pastor with the Internet radio show, the one who Colorado Springs Republicans elected to office based on his strong platform of President Obama being possessed by demons—don't worry, he performed an on-air exorcism—and calling gay Americans "unhuman." More recently he was stripped of his committee posts after opining that a pregnant Colorado woman stabbed by an assailant was the result of a "curse" God "put on America for our sin of" abortion.
So telling the Boy Scouts they should drown their gay members in the "depths of the sea" because hey, Bible, is par for the course for the conspicuously loathsome Klingenschmitt. Republican leaders will probably—one assumes—again distance themselves from the crazy person bubbling hot frothy bile, but This Is Who Republican Voters Vote For. They wanted this guy.this is what is most scary about republicans their base of fanatics they believe and act on whatever is thrown into those red meat feeding troughs. people who react from a bandwagon stance usually are under informed an being motivated strictly by buzz words.
they are just as if not more reprehensible and Godless as those who concentrate on them rebels with somebody else's cause are dangerous they don't know where to begin but after being pointed in the preferred direction they don't know where to stop and those that direct them don't supply a time to end it. all in the name of an evangelical deity.
