Tom DeLay appeared on Steve Malzberg's Newsmax program yesterday to defend Indiana's "religious freedom" law against the attacks from people who "have chosen to be homosexuals," saying that conservative Christians must be ready to "fight this battle to the bitter end."

"This is the result of the gay agenda," DeLay said. "We're now seeing what the gay agenda is all about ... What they're trying to do is to undermine religious liberty so that they become an accepted sexual orientation. That's what's going on here and we have got to fight this battle to the bitter end because once you let the government dictate to you what you believe and what your values are, then this country's finished."...

DeLay went on to say that if he owned a business, he'd have no problem serving a gay customer, provided that he didn't know about their sexual orientation.

"But if he comes in and asks me to undermine my values," he said, "undermine my religious liberty, then I have the right to stand up for what I believe in and not serve him. It's not discrimination; it's the government telling us how we are to act, what we are to believe, and that has got to be fought with every ounce of our being":

That guy really bugs me!

4. Of course repukes see no problem mixing commerce and religion. They love it like that.

Fucking Taliban on roids.

IF he had a business! HAHAHAHA!! That's right bugman! You ain't got SHIT! Almost got thrown in prison!

More from the 'family values' crowd!

All they care about doing, it punishing others in society for simply existing.

I HATE REPUBLICANS!

5. It's hard to parse that last bit - but then again that comes from just wanting to have your cake

and eat it too.

But it seems like if a gay person comes in and orders a cake from "Delay's Old Timey Cake Shop," he's fine with it. But if a gay person comes and and orders a cake that "undermines his values" he's opposed to it. I think Tom Delay might be ascribing too much power to cake.

6. Is He Still Alive?

I figured since i hadn't heard anything from him he was dead. With his big mouth and tiny brain, i'm shocked that he hasn't been spouting nonsense a lot more often now that i know he is still amongst the living.
