Alan Keyes: Gay marriage is the “archetype of all crimes against humanity”

Source: Salon

Alan Keyes, the former diplomat and perennial candidate for office, argued that gay marriage “is the archetype of all crimes against humanity,” and that an “entire elite faction is committed” to that crime.

Keyes appeared on the talk show of conservative Stan Solomon, and decried Republican Sen. Rob Portman for announcing that he supports marriage equality because of his gay son. “If you go down a road that satisfies your personal predilections and relationships and sacrifices the common good of the country, including the elementary institution by which civilization is sustained, then you’re not only derelict in your public duty, you are abandoning your obligation as a human being,” Keyes said.

“Frankly, people throw around words like ‘crime against humanity,’ I think that kind of disregard for the God-endowed natural rights of human being is the archetype of all crimes against humanity,” Keyes continued, “and I think we have an entire elite faction that is now committed to committing such a crime against the American people.”

Two married guys having sex is a bigger crime against humanity than having you in a position of public power and responsibility. You clueless shit-for-brains.

Like throwing your own daughter out of the home and firing her from working for you just because she's gay, right?

Every time they open their mouths, they just make our case for us. Look at the brain damaged shit they spew on a daily basis. That's not ignorance. It is willful stupidity.

Railing against a "disregard for the God-endowed natural rights of human being" .... includes gay relationships too. He's too ignorant to hear what he's saying.

If I had the power to stop one crime against humanity, I wonder what I would stop. Mmmmm, stop child sexual abuse, or stop gay sex, …….or maybe genocide. Nope gota stop that gay lov’n. It is clearly the greatest evil in the world.

now go read the second paragraph again.


See, I knew without even FINISHING THE ARTICLE that this was about deflection..."What, this? This thing we did isn't a war crime...THAT thing over THERE. Now THAT is a warcrime."

Deflection and Projection. The Logic and Reason of the GOP.
