Right wing projection to the max: "Liberals and gays want to turn our kids into warehoused warriors"

[ck4829]

Speaking exclusively with The Iowa Independent following Wednesday’s event, Rep Steve King (R - The place where someone left the door to the Twilight Zone ajar) reaffirmed those statements and expanded on why he believes the institution of marriage is so important.

“I think that if we can’t defend marriage, that it becomes very hard to defend life,” King said. “Marriage is the crucible by which we pour all of our values and pass them on to our children, and that is how the culture is renewed each time. So, if we lose marriage — for instance, if our children are raised in warehouses, so to speak. There have been civilizations that have tried to do that. The Spartans did that. They took the children away and taught them to be warriors. It’s a good way to defend a country, but not much of a way to run a civilization.

They're the ones who ruin public education, have us wage war after war, and have enemy after enemy. Commies in the 50's, hippies in the 60's, everybody who wasn't them in the 70's, commies and drug users in the 80's, the government in the 90's, Muslims today, and who knows in a couple of years.

Also read up on the bizarre theory one homophobe has that no anthropologist has ever thought of before, that apparently teh gay was created so that certain cavemen would stay behind while all the other cavemen went out hunting and gathering and now because we're not cavemen anymore that means teh gay is no longer necessary. What?

3. So Republicans would turn us all into closeted self-loating gay bashers who solicit prostitutes?

Faced with the eventual repeal of the Don’t Ask Don’t Tell policy on gays in the military, a group of current and former Republican lawmakers introduced their own proposal on Wednesday whereby gays would be allowed to serve in the military as long as they provide graphic details about their encounters. They call it “Don’t Ask, DO Tell.”

“I want to hear all their sordid tales,” said former Sen. Larry Craig. “I mean, where are they getting together? Are there any positions I’m not aware of? It’s time for gays to come out of the men’s rooms and give some pointers to those of us living in denial. When I think of all those buff military guys doing what comes unnaturally I just uh…. excuse me….. I gotta find a restroom.”

8. You nailed it.

Just imagine how many fewer sexual encounters the average, closeted (R) would have without the stigma.

They thrive on shame.

5. Just so I understand this correctly...

- Marriage is good.

Most Americans would agree with that.

-Children being raised in warehouses is bad.

Again, I don't have much of an argument with that premise.

-Gays shouldn't be allowed to marry.

Wait, what? I thought marriage was a good thing ;-) These guys always just make a jump to a conclusion completely contradictory to their main premise, that marriage is a good thing that should be protected. Last I checked, you don't preserve a practice by banning people from participating in it. And you don't keep children from being raised in warehouses by banning certain groups of people from adopting and raising kids in a loving home. Obviously, the whole thing comes down to: "I don't like this group of people and don't want them to be able to do the same things as me." But I don't think I had to tell any of you that, lol.

6. This is madness!

[surrealAmerican]

7. I guess, in his mind, there's some sort connection ...

... between gay people marrying and children being raised in warehouses, but I can't quite follow that line of reasoning at all.

Why do people vote for irrational idiots like him?
