Alan Keyes: LGBT marriage will lead to the break-up of the United States

[shenmue]

Story here

Alan Keyes, unintentional comedian, said that marriage equality for LGBT folks would lead to the destruction of the republic.

From the article:

The religious speaker – who was a diplomat under Ronald Reagan and has run for President three times – warned that if the Supreme Court rules in favour of same-sex marriage, it could break apart the union.

He said: “This would be an attack on the people of the United States more grievous than that which led the first generation of Americans to declare their independence from Great Britain."

1. While this idiot believes this I am sure, it is also a good way for him, a meaningless asshole to

get attention.

But, I dont know what his life story is and I try and not judge people I cant possibly walk in the shoes of, he is still an asshole however

[QC]

2. People once said the same thing about allowing people like Keyes

to attend public schools, eat lunch at Woolworth's, live in "white neighborhoods," etc.

It was going to ignite another civil war, they said.

For all this talk of how smart he is, Keyes seems to have no knowledge of recent history.

4. Great point. Although he may be right - his Rs are doing everything in their power to make it happen

[QC]

8. True that.

They are certainly doing everything they can to bring it about, just like they did in the 60s. Same people, for the most part.

3. Do they ever have to explain how that works?

I'll ask my sister-in-law and her wife this afternoon when we meet up with them how they go about destroying the country. I'd like to know because that is some power that they have.

3) Destroy all healthy heterosexual marriages,
4) Replace all school counselors in grades K-12 with agents of Colombian
and Jamaican drug cartels,
5) Establish planetary chain of "homo breeding gulags" where over-medicated
imprisoned straight women are turned into artificially impregnated baby
factories to produce prepubescent love slaves for our devotedly
pederastic gay leadership,
6) bulldoze all houses of worship, and
7) Secure total control of the INTERNET and all mass media for the

5. Well, that's not the ONLY reason to support marriage equality,

but I trust that after the breakup I'll be in a different part than Keyes, Cruz, Huckabee, and a number of others .

10. Splitting up the US wouldn't be such bad thing.

I, for one, grow weary of living in a country in which the backward politics of the South negatively impacts my life.

6. He is entitled to his opinion, no matter how out there

and strange.

I don't think we would have another civil war over this, but whatever.

9. Keyes should not be downplayed, he's been a Republican Nominee for the US Senate 3 times going

back to the 80's and a Presidential candidate 3 other times. Keyes was named Ambassador to the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations by President Ronald Reagan, and also served as Reagan's Assistant Secretary of State for International Organization Affairs from 1985 to 1987.

14. Didn't President Obama Stomp Him When He Ran For Office?

Didn't President Obama stomp Alan Keyes in a Senate race when Keyes ran against him?

[Archae]

16. Yup.

Keyes out-spent Obama 2 to 1, and lost 3-1.

I remember that race because the republican had to drop out since his wife was forced into doing kinky sex, (Jeri Ryan, yes, 7 of 9!) and Mike Ditka said no.

So the GOP got a volunteer from the back of the short bus. who kept jumping up and down "Pick me! Pick me!"

Keyes.

It didn't help the fact that Keyes had a habit of not paying his taxes, or his campaign creditors.

17. You are absolutely correct.

Too often we, GLBT people, are being told to "calm down" and the speaker is "just a nut." These people are a threat. Sure, many laugh at people like Keyes, especially at this site, but the truth is he and those like him do have a following and as Republicans "embrace" diversity, people like this are given a voice often hushed in other venues. Their lunacy should not be met with our silence!

11. The Wingnuts Versus Biology

One of the leading bits of cock and bull purveyed by Keyes and his ilk is that sexual orientation isn't biologically determined. The marks (I.e. the rest of us) are expected to believe that not only is being gay a choice, but that is theoretically possible to turn the entire USA homosexual and lesbian. I find this notion preposterous. I'd say that most heterosexuals know what they are and know what they like.

As for the people who believe such cods wallop, there's one born every minute, and I don't mean someone with a cute tushie.

12. Which is why I'm pretending to run for president again so I can cash in." nt

15. How does US diplomacy survive having such idiots inserted into it?

Other countries carefully select sensible, cautious, intelligent people for diplomatic service. The USA drops arseholes like this guy and John Bolton into their service, like a turd in a punchbowl. How much extra work do the real diplomats have to do to make up for the politically-motivated lunatics?

18. The only break-up that LGBT marriage will lead to

is the break-up of Alan Keyes's mind.

19. Predicted #1 industry for the LGBT friendly side: tourism

[ChosenUnWisely]

20. Stop f-ing threating to do it and just do it!

If people want to form their own nation built upon a gun toting racist theocracy go right ahead NOBODY is stopping them at all.

[Jamastiene]

21. Well, I'm formally offering up shelter and quarter to any pro-GLBT soldiers now.

Those on the pro-GLBT side of Keyes' silly idea for a civil war will get fed, sheltered, and helped any way I can. I live in a red state, so I can't wait to see these bigoted rednecks get roundly defeated by the pro-GLBT forces. It would do my heart good to see that. It would be a dream come true, actually.
