The right wing freakout continues, as Sandy Rios of the American Family Association predicted that marriage equality for LGBT folk would bring about riots and starvation. Or something.

1. Yeah, the right-wingers are throwing their tantrums about gay marriage.

Including Reince Priebus.

RNC Chairman Thinks Marriage Equality Is A Threat To Our Economy And National Security

Twenty-four hours after the Supreme Court announced it would not consider appeals of lower court rulings legalizing same-sex marriage in five states, effectively paving the way for couples to marry in Indiana, Oklahoma, Utah, Virginia, Colorado, and Wisconsin, the head of the Republican National Committee warned that these unions could undermine American society.

Suggesting that the nation is hurt by same-sex families and quoting men who claim that if gays are permitted to marry “America will ultimately collapse,” is at odds with the GOP’s promise to be more tolerant toward gay people.

Janet Mefferd: LGBT Legal Victories Threaten The Republic

Submitted by Ian Silverstone on Tuesday, 10/7/2014 3:57 pm

Yesterday, Religious Right talk show host Janet Mefferd condemned the “lawlessness” of the U.S. judicial system following recent court decisions that have advanced marriage equality for same-sex couples.

She warned that judges are threatening the system of self-government with their decisions to strike down marriage bans. “The bigger question is: how have we lost our right to govern ourselves?” she asked. “That’s what we’re losing.”

“They get away with it. You just push the lawless limit and see how much you can get away with, and unfortunately, people are getting away with an awful lot,” she said. “I don’t understand why there aren’t more Christians yelling and screaming — nicely, of course — on this issue of lawlessness. Do we not care about lawlessness? How do you have a republic without law, the rule of law and the respect for law? How does a republic survive when it loses respect for the law?”

6. I can't take seriously the tantrums of a man whose name sounds like a urological condition.

Reince Priebus.

It really does sound like a venereal disease or perhaps a biological cause of erectile dysfunction and rectal cancer...or all of the above.

I'm sorry Mr. Cheney, we tried everything we could...your Reince Priebus was too advanced and there's nothing we can do to restore penile function. At this point, we've got to seriously consider if the best course of action is amputation before it spreads to your perineum and anus. As I am sure you are aware, colo-rectal Reince Priebus is always fatal.

8. Rectal cancer?

No way! Reince Priebus is a perfect asshole!

2. It's legal here in NY, it hasn't brought riots yet, but...

It has brought some of the most fab weddings I've ever attended! And lots of new economic stimulation. My friend Dalia owns a cake shop in lower east side and got 3 more cake orders in the past 48hrs.

3. I thought the Ebola was gonna kill us all. nt

4. Took a while but Sandy finally figured out the everyone dies.

Sooner or later.

5. Oh, dear. She didn't know that?

How sad.

7. The GOP can't win elections if there's no boogeyman present.
