Death to homosexuals!

[Wildcard Ky]

At least that's the platform that a guy in Ohio is running on. Seems that he wants to make homosexuality a crime, punishable up through the death penalty.

Just when you thought it couldn't get any weirder.......The guy is running as a Democrat.

I know that I should be jaded by now, but there are still times when the stupidity of others still amazes me.

Hanging's too good for them.

What is it with legislators in Ohio lately? Everyone I know from Ohio is really cool. Maybe I should prompt my friends up there to take up politics.

 

[rgraham666]

I have this vision of the clothes this guy wears.

All of them have a great big bullseye painted on them.

Democrats!

I'd be interested to know what kind of support he has for murdering homosexuals. Besides having sex in a way he finds inappropriate, what's the crime? Hasn't anyone mentioned to him that almost all homosexuals were created by two straight people?

God, I hope not!

He's probably crazy enough to advocate killing the parents of homosexuals too.

I'd like to see them attempt to fund that.

The thing about politics that frightens me lately is that these kinds of things seem to be cropping up with no more backing than one man's emotional response to an issue. Their flock then wanders blindly behind them and casts a vote willy nilly. WTF?

They should be terminated.

How would he feel if his children/relatives were gay?

Personally, it wouldn't bother me as long as they (my kids) were happy.

 

[Liar]

Keiser has no political background. He says the only reason he's running as a Democrat is because that's how he was registered the last time he voted.

You know, this really raise the question... what is a party for you guys? Just a novelty tag? Can anyone run as anything and say anything in that party's name?

His ex wife is probably a lesbian now or something.

As an aside, there was an article in the local paper lately that the school district of my town is being sued for not providing adequate protection of gay students. Seems there was a gay teen at the high school who happened to let people know he was gay, and another kid decided he didn't like the way the gay student looked at him. So...he promptly got up and punched him in the face. Thank god, I won't be living here when my kids are older.

Interesting aside. I was researching something for school last semester and came across a lot of cases similar to the one you mentioned. There's a big push for the health care industry to acknowledge homosexuality as a part of patient confidentiality as well as treating issues that may come with it for the patient. The push is mainly for children in public schools and for the nurses there to be ready to provide help-line and other outlet information as well as know how to aid that child in functioning without harm/incident in the public school environment. Interesting stuff.

I have no idea about US politics except .... WOW.

It just so happens that 6% of TV show contestants selected must be gay in the UK.

There's definitely a need, but I worry that doing things like this will help the cause of the other side who likes to say that homosexuality is "wrong" and needs to be "fixed." I can see how, in a town like this, things like that could happen. It's very difficult to be different in a small town.

Living in a town of only 1400, smack dab in the thick of the Southern Baptist Bible Belt, I totally get it. That said, most folks 'round here are pretty much about minding their own business and allowing others to do the same. Lucky so far.

Yes, yes, have no fear, it's not about hate. We just want to protect our children from your messages...i mean, we just believe its a sacred institution...uh, it's complicated but nothing to do with hate at all...i mean...GAH, burn in hell faggots. We'll feast on your entrails and dance on your tombstones with glee, WAHAHA, our lord Satan will cherish us in Heaven hereafter for our glorious work in ridding the Earth of your filth. Yes, fear us, flee in vain from our chainsaws, you filthy perverts, because then maybe maybe I'll stop being turned on by Antonio Banderas and I can stop thinking about how its the hardest my one-inch dick has been in years.

But it's not about hate and we don't want to kill you. Why do you have to shove your lifestyle in our poor Christian faces? Do you hate America so much?

So...I dream of the day when the above statement will be a joke, an over-the-top farce of how we once thought.

I should not reply to this thread and I know it. The devil made me.

First off, the 'death penalty' is just a buzz word as all life if protected here in the good ole USA, so that is not the issue at all.

A little more interesting is that the claim of 'Democrat' was attached.

For those of you who have been around for a while, I might suggest you take an 'objective look' at the content of entertainment, music, literature, films, et cetera and compare present day to a generation ago.

The 6% required in GB is news to me, but telling, in a way.

I have suggested many times that the backlash against the militant gay agenda in all aspects of society might well be forthcoming.

There is a poetry site I have participated in for several years and I increasingly notice young teenage poets, male and female, publically identifying themselves as 'Bi-sexual' on their author's pages.

LOGO channel on Cable television is entirely devoted to 'gay' programming, as is the LINK channel.

If you run through a days programming on cable television you will notice dozens of films and programs including gay and lesbian issues.

Nationwide, the effort to insert 'gay marriage' as legitimate is an ongoing affront to many.

Homosexuality as an alternative lifestyle is part and parcel of elementary and secondary education in public schools, again, much to the chagrin of many.

It is an intense social issue, both sides of the argument, but the liberal left, in righteously claiming absolute rights, have forced both those opposed and those who have no great concern, to take a position.

Things will get much worse, I suspect.

Huh? I thought the US executed people? Granted, the ones executed are (hopefully) homicidal monsters, but that's just a line in the sand. They're criminals. And if you would consider homosexality a crime, then it's just a matter of how harsh a penalty. Ok, to most people, it would then not be reasonable to equal it to murder. But not impossible, it's just a matter of how your core values look. Just look at the (not so) honorable rev. Phelps. He would not have a problem equalling homosexal and homicidal.

A little more interesting is that the claim of 'Democrat' was attached.

The claim of 'Democrat' was attached by laziness and flippancy. But yeah, It's interresting...that he is allowed to call himself that, and still run an issue so radically opposed from the official party line.

The death penalty is alive but I don't know how well it is. There are some judges who oppose it and do anything they can to thwart the will of the people. Last month, an individual was scheduled to meet justice. He had tortured and raped and strangled a 17 year old girl, and was scheduled to be put to death, to the cheering of the multitude. However, some asshole judge decided he might accidentally suffer a slight discomfort during the process so he, one individual, was able to overrule the millions of people who would love to see the slime get what he deserves. Personally, I think the method used should be public hanging. That is the method in use when the Bill of Rights was written, and if it was constitutional then, it should still be.

Democrats are those who are registered as Democrats and refer to themselves that way. You can remember when the worst segregationists, people like Orval Faubus of Arkansas and George Wallace of Alabama and the guy from Georgia who carried around an axe handle, were called Democrats. As southerners, they were sometimes called Dixiecrats or Southern Democrats, but they were at the conventions that nominated FDR and HST and Adlai Stevenson.

In the US that would be called "affirmative action". I don't think it has ever beren apploied to sexual preference but it has been applied to most other differences.

i wonder if they would execute gay males by hot beef injection...

hrm.

Well... if they gotta go I suppose that might the least objectionable way. And that HAS to take a long time to die from.

 

[SEVERUSMAX]

Back in my fundamentalist days, I went to a certain Baptist college, where one of the professors proposed the jailing and/or execution of homosexuals. So that's nothing new to me. This is typical of the religious right, based on my experience of them.
