Stupid Republicans – Rep. Steve King (R-IA) Says Gay Marriage is Purely a Socialist Concept

[TheBigotBasher]

KING: But if, there also would be no rational argument against group marriage. And I just take this along the rationale even further and would say if relationships between individuals cannot be prohibited by the state legislature then there is no ban that can actually be constitutional that would ban group marriage. And it wouldn’t have to be for reasons of, let me say, love or lust. It could be reasons of profitability or avoiding taxes or accessing benefits.

So in the end this is something that has to come with a, if there’s a push for a socialist society, a society where the foundations of individual rights and liberties are undermined and everybody is thrown together, living collectively off of one pot of resources earned by everyone. That is, this is one of the goals they have to go to is same-sex marriage because it has to plow through marriage in order to get to their goal. They want public affirmation. They want access to public funds and resources. Eventually all those resources will be pooled because that’s the direction we’re going. And not only is it a radical social idea, it is a purely socialist concept in the final analysis.

Stupid bloody bigot, I guess he thinks the log cabin Repubicans are also socialist?

What is it with Republicans and gay sex? Not getting enough while hiding in the closet?

1. Log Cabin Republicans believe that Freedom isn't Free.

And they ARE willing to give you a set dollar amount for which they will sell theirs.

2. I'm not sure why Log Cabin Republicans want to remain in a party that hates them.

Strange fetish? Some belief that they can pull the Rethugs away from their addiction to bible bashing haters?

Hate and fear is the Republican Modus Operandi. It is all they have left.

3. They said the same thing about women's equality.

4. ROFL. What an idiot.

Marriage as currently constructed is socialist. It is governed and controlled by the state. That is why the state can deny us the right to marry.

What an imbecile.

5. Like Socialism Would Be So Bad?

Anyhow as pointed out, marriage is already government controlled--this is why we cannot marry. Idiot Rethugs. ROFLMAO

6. Everything seems to be socialism these days

Is that word really that powerful that it's all they have?

[sui generis]

7. define socialist. please.

Just curious what they think socialism is.

WHAT GAY MARRIAGE IS:

None of nobody who ain't gay's bidness.

Now STRAIGHT marriage (I love it, wherein two straight men can get married to each other, I guess) is much more interesting to me than GAY marriage, where two penguins get married to a dog, or whatever socialism means.

durrrr.

:eyes:

What is it with the socialism. Does he not get his tap water from a central city source? That's socialism for real. In a truly capitalist world, a private company would be selling him tap water from his tap and for his toilet. Do you see him parading against the water company for being socialist? I guess not.

8. I wonder when the right is going to figure out what the word "socialism" actually means. nt
