Jim DeMint: Gays and sexually-active single women should not be allowed to teach children

[marmar]

from HuffPost:



Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) attempted to convince pastors that economic issues are moral issues at the Greater Freedom Rally at a church in Spartanburg, South Carolina yesterday, imploring them to help conservatives retake Congress in November.

In addition to reiterating anti-choice talking points on abortion and backing "traditional marriage," according to the Spartanburg Herald-Journal, the senator went further and "said if someone is openly homosexual, they shouldn't be teaching in the classroom and he holds the same position on an unmarried woman who's sleeping with her boyfriend -- she shouldn't be in the classroom."

Controversy over DeMint's position on this issue first arose in 2004 during a Senate debate, when he was asked whether he agreed with the state party's platform that said openly gay teachers should be barred from teaching public school. DeMint said he agreed with that position because government shouldn't be endorsing certain behaviors.

After significant criticism from LGBT groups, including the Log Cabin Republicans, DeMint apologized for saying "something as a dad that I just shouldn't have said." ..........(more)

1. And freaks named DeMint shouldn't be allowed anywhere near

policy-making decisions.

[Lyric]

2. Disgusting.

And I notice that he didn't say anything about single MEN who are sleeping with their girlfriends.

[Maru Kitteh]

12. bingo. n/t

14. bingo X 2!

5. Wait, how else will my children learn to be gay or be single pregnant women, otherwise?

This last summer my boy told me he was hoping this year he could catch teh gay and get pregnant. I told him we'd see what the materials cost for those two after trumpet lessons came out of the budget.

:crazy:

These kinds of stories are always infuriating but they're nice reminders of how...how really fooked in the head these people are.

21. Don't let him do it!

He'll just play with them for a few days and then toss them aside....

[Poll_Blind]

32. .

6. How are people like DeMint in power?

[Shallah Kali]

19. it helps that DeMint is in DeFamily - he was DeRoomie of Ensign @ C Street

[Initech]

49. The more I read about C Street, the more I absolutely despise dominionists.

[Shallah Kali]

50. they want to make others practice their radicial religion - and do it on taxpayer $

Junkets for Jesus

I hope more people are paying attention to them and keep paying attention to their acts even when it is not sexual misbehavior. That is the least of their behavior.

[Initech]

51. They want a fundamentalist theocracy.

And they'll do anything to get it. The hardcore radical righties and the taliban are really no different. You'd think they'd make natural allies.

[Shallah Kali]

59. but their window dressing does not match

the pseudo-Christian veneer clashes with the pseudo-Islam curtains so it just doesn't work.

[atreides1]

23. Because

Stupid religious, racist, bigot fanatics are in the majority in South Carolina.

If this isn't true, then how is it that DeMint can even get elected to office.

[GoCubsGo]

24. Sad, but true.

This state is overrun with the ignorant.

[Initech]

48. South Carolina and Kentucky both have a history of electing crazy bigots to office.

[applegrove]

7. A**hole!

[liberal N proud]

8. Twisted minds should not be allowed to govern people.

:wtf:

[Pirate Smile]

9. He says any single woman who has sex, they don't have to be pregnant.

"unmarried woman who's sleeping with her boyfriend"

My gawd, that would knock out a lot of teachers. Perhaps Jim would like chastity checks. W.T.F.

[bluestateguy]

10. California Proposition 6 in 1978 called for the firing of all gay teachers

It was badly defeated.

[nmbluesky]

15. Leader Milk did stop this

[ProfessionalLeftist]

11. bit of a control freak, isn't he? n / t

[no_hypocrisy]

13. Let me get this straight. DeMint says single women can't sleep with men nor women and teach.

Are dogs off the list?

[MrScorpio]

16. I'm surprised that he didn't throw in blacks, latinos and Muslims as well.

The writing's on the wall, and fuckers like him are eventually going the way of the dinosaur.


It can't happen too soon.

[Swede]

17. His brain is squirming like a toad.

nt

[femrap]

18. But it's OK for

single men to whore around???? I hate this sexist little turd.

[Iggo]

20. Fuckin moron.

[Sabriel]

22. That will leave some PE teachers and a few math and science

Otherwise, about 50% of the teachers will have to go.

And with education the way it is lately, they probably won't mind.

[Iris]

25. What about straight men who teach and sleep with their girlfriends?

[jobycom]

33. Why do you hate baby Jesus?

You are just interfering with nature, now.

[Iris]

46. lol - yeah. I'm pure evil!

:evilgrin:

[GoCubsGo]

26. He said this same shit when he first ran for his seat

As the article mentions, it was during a debate that was aired on the local PBS affiliates. It's beyond me why the Log Cabin republicans are just now getting upset over this.

[depakid]

27. Apparently it plays well in South Carolina

Anyone really surprised by that?

[seabeyond]

28. how about single sexually active men? fuck that sheeeit. nt

[Dont_Bogart_the_Pretzel]

29. What about Nun teachers that are single? n/t

[Bigmack]

35. Presumably nuns aren't sexually active... but...

I had my suspicions about those nuns at Our Lady of Perpetual Orgasm convent.

[The Wizard]

30. Demented DeMint

sounds like he protests too much. Is Jim DeMint is a self loathing closeted gay man? What is Jim DeMint hiding?

[HillbillyBob]

38. Eww we don't want him.

There might be some sadists that would like an opportunity to give DeMental some etiquette lessons. Probably wouldn't take, but the dom would have the fun of tryin to beat it into him.

[spanone]

31. douchenozzle demint

fuck his sorry ass

[kevinbgoode]

34. Well, Jim, and "conservative" men shouldn't be allowed to

ejaculate, either verbally or in the "traditional" way. They also shouldn't be allowed to serve in government, teach our children, or become a parent - it just isn't in the best interests of society.

I have an idea, Jim - why not let the people vote on that right, huh? Seems to me that a conservative man shouldn't have any more rights than he's willing to allow a gay person or women, and since we far outnumber you, wouldn't it be the right thing to do to let us ALL vote on your rights now?

Frankly, I wonder why someone hasn't started some kind of constitutional amendment in some state - or at least a referendum - we could just use those same "conservative" principles and apply a little tyranny to them.

[Mushroom]

36. Mama

needs to wash her son's mouth with soap.

[Lorien]

37. Because we single sexually active women must all be *gasp* FEMINISTS!!!

which scares the crap out of knuckle dragging boys like Dewitless.

[golddigger]

39. And DeMint should not be allowed to breed.

[justiceischeap]

40. Sounds kinda Talibanish, no? (nt)

[Enthusiast]

47. Yes.........nt

[old mark]

41. Well, if anyone really thinks the GOP and the Democrats are the same, here is your proof

they are NOT!

Rec
mark

[TBF]

42. No one says they are the same on cultural issues -

it is economic issues people are referring to when they talk about parties being the same

[old mark]

43. ...and it is still nonsense. The GOP is totally owned by the rich and corporations,

the Democrats only partially so, although way too much for me.


mark

[TBF]

45. It's hard to tell the difference when you are sitting unemployed,

watching bankers get obscene bonuses yet again ...

Make no mistake, the cultural issues can become very important (for instance I will be voting for Bill White for governor in Texas in hopes of saving our text books - which are written here and used all over the country).

[Vinca]

44. Maybe Jim can explain why he hasn't drummed his fellow

Republicans out of Washington when they've committed adultery, hired hookers and tap danced in toilet stalls. Not a very good example for the kids in the classroom, Jim. And, of course, there are the Republican candidates with their bestiality videos. Stand proud, Jim. Stand proud.

[WeekendWarrior]

52. ARRGGGHHHH!!

Please, please, please asshole, get back in your time machine and go back home. Your mother is looking for you.

[RainDog]

53. Republicans hate freedom

Republicans pretend they care about personal freedom but the people they elect show they are lying sacks of shit.

They want to enslave us economically and dictate to us about our private lives.

Anyone who votes for a Republican votes for this sort of bullshit.

[ismnotwasm]

54. Expect yet another Repuke 'sex scandal'

This one from the halo wearing Senator DeMint. Probably something particularly disgusting. That seems to be the pattern in these creepazoids.

[AsahinaKimi]

55. Jim DeMint should not be allowed to be Senator.

Send him home.

[KamaAina]

56. When Orwell wrote about the Junior Anti-Sex League

it was fiction. :scared:

[Rosa Luxemburg]

57. Another member of the Raving Loony Party (RLP)

does that mena all gay Republicans and Republicans who wear diapers shouldn't run for office?

The man is a fool

[Canuckistanian]

58. Assuming such laws COULD be passed, what then?

It would mean a MASSIVE Government department whose sole responsibility is to check whose penises went where and did those penises have a marriage licence.

I know they'd get free volunteers from the fundie organizations, but it would still require a massive database and state-wide penis inspection facilities.

I fear the cost MIGHT cause some Teabagger types to question "big Gubmint" interference in their OWN "moral policing".

[TomCADem]

60. The Log Cabin Republicans Will Give Him A Baby Slap On The Wrist

Then proceed to give thier party a free pass as usual.
