In the last month, same-sex marriage has become legal in Iowa and Vermont. What do you think about same-sex marriage at a state level?

Wurzelbacher
At a state level, it’s up to them. I don’t want it to be a federal thing. I personally still think it’s wrong. People don’t understand the dictionary–it’s called queer. Queer means strange and unusual. It’s not like a slur, like you would call a white person a honky or something like that. You know, God is pretty explicit in what we’re supposed to do–what man and woman are for. Now, at the same time, we’re supposed to love everybody and accept people, and preach against the sins. I’ve had some friends that are actually homosexual. And, I mean, they know where I stand, and they know that I wouldn’t have them anywhere near my children. But at the same time, they’re people, and they’re going to do their thing.

Please, please tell me when his 15 minutes are up!

    Dude! “That” man should never have had 5 minutes! It is difficult to believe that he’d be interviewed by ANY creditable publication (even a Christian one) in light of his previous deceptions. I mean, doesn’t their bible mention something about lying in the 10 commandments? Of course, if you’re on the same side, I suppose a few ‘little’ lies wouldn’t be too bad?

    And people wonder why I’m a Pagan?

    I don’t want to begrudge anyone their First Amendment right but if people just cease making him any Joe-The-Plumber quotes “newsworthy,” just maybe he might fade away. Of course, he can always have Faux News…

  3. Yanz Says:

    This is one of the pitfalls of the Internet Age. Any quotes emanating from this ignoramus and documented liar is deemed somehow “news worthy.” He should fit in well with Faux News.

    "No queers by his kids" How about his kids near pedophiles, Mormon enclaves Catholic priests, or Jimmy Swaggart?
