It returns us to the dark ages of human oppression, which America was founded to remove humanity from, and it is the whole point of the push for homosexual marriage and homosexual rights. The aim is not compassion for homosexuals, respect for homosexuals and all of this; the aim in the mind of these hardheaded, calculating, leftist, Communist, totalitarians is to destroy the family and to establish the notion that once you have seized power there is no limit whatsoever to what you can do. If you want to tolerate abuses then those abuses can be imposed upon the people. Once you establish that, the abuses are then not going to be confined to egregious outrages like this; those abuses are going to be committed against the whole society and they will in the end include the murder of the masses as has occurred in all Communist regimes that existed. That includes as well the expropriation of all property because if you don’t respect the primordial God-endowed belongings that are associated with family life then why on earth would you be constrained to respect any other form of human property claim.

America was founded long after the Dark Ages were over, stupid. The Dark Ages were a period of religious oppression of the masses.
Yes, the push for equal marriage laws and equal human rights is a push away from the Dark Ages.
No, we don't want absolute power, and we certainly don't want tolerance of abuse; that would go completely against equal human rights, stupid!
We want to STOP you bigoted reactionary people from abusing the rights of homosexual people, stupid!
We don't want to destroy families; we want to create MORE families, stupid!
Communism in and of itself is good, and it corresponds with a lot of what Jesus says in the Bible.
However, people are too egocentric for it to work on a larger scale, sadly.
The problem is not the idea, but the people who are put to the task of realizing the idea.
Jesus tells his followers to sell all their possessions and give the money to the poor.
That's how God-endowed belongings are, stupid.
You have no idea what the dark ages were, do you?
"which America was founded to remove humanity from"
Europeans had been doing that for over 250 years before the United States were founded. Push your messiah complex up your ass where it came from.
Yeah, those naughty commies like Stalin who criminalised homosexuality in communist countries.
Uptight homophobes just like you!
"It returns us to the dark ages of human oppression, which America was founded to remove humanity from, and it is the whole point of the push for homosexual marriage and homosexual rights."
We want to go back to the dark days of human oppression which America was founded to remove humanity from?
Why do you hate America?
Gay marriage is secret plan by communist gays to return us to the Dark Ages, destroy families, and take away everyone's property?
Is it just me or is Alan Keyes totally insane?
to establish the notion that once you have seized power there is no limit whatsoever to what you can do.
That's the idea of the conservative right.
"God-endowed belongings"
"If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me." - Jebus
Somebody's not been doing their reading.
How does gay marriage destroy the family? Allowing gay marriage isn't going to turn people gay, nor will banning it stop gay sex. And how is it going to affect the marriage of heterosexual couples?
Do you think if you keep saying "gay marriage will destroy the family" often enough it will become true, like in "Through the Looking Glass"?
"the dark ages of human oppression, which America was founded to remove humanity from"
What a really funny thing for a Black man to say. Actually, wrong for anyone to say, considering the number of transported prisoners, indentured servants, mail-order brides, and slaughtered Native Americans that fill the pages of our history.
If there was a "dark age of human oppression, which America was founded to remove humanity from", it was government-sponsored religion . (And monarchy; religion-sponsored government.) I'll grant that this is a highly simplified view of history, suitable maybe for third-graders, but it's still vastly more realistic than anything Keyes just said.
I don't understand this stuff about "destroy the family". Why would anyone want to? And how could you, really? People usually want to live together and associate together in family groups. And if they don't, they don't. They make their own choices.
What on earth are the "primordial God-endowed belongings that are associated with family life"??
Given that we've had anti-family oppression and Communist regimes in America all of zero times, surely this man's concerns are well-founded.
"hardheaded, calculating, leftist, Communist, totalitarians"
Oh, but you forgot to mention evil, mustache-twirling, Socialist, Nazi, terrorist, Illuminati, Satanist, not nice...
So there was gay marriage and gay rights before 1776 then? As for destroying the family, it's funny that the two countries with the highest divorce rates in the world are Russia and Belarus, neither of which have gay marriage. The third highest is the US, where divorce rates are much higher in states with anti-gay legislation than those with gay marriage.
If you want to tolerate abuses then those abuses can be imposed upon the people.
First they came for the raving homophobes, but I did not speak out...
@Hasan Prishtina
...for I am not a homophobe.
They came for the racists, but I did not speak out for I am not a racist.
They came for the Dominionist. I am no Dominionist.
They came for the facsist, I approved, for I dislike facsism.
Then there was no-one left to go for. And not a f*ck was given.
If you want to tolerate abuses then those abuses can be imposed upon the people.
Gay marriage is not abuse and it will not be imposed on anyone.
the primordial God-endowed belongings that are associated with family life
What, you mean your wallscreen tv and your microwave?
It would be true if those gay marriages were an effective way, somehow, to force otherwise married heterosexual people to marry people of the same sex. Or if same sex were encouraged in communist countries. OOPPSS!!!, now that I remember, It's forbidden in Cuba and was highly persecuted in the former USSR.
And once agian, allowing gays to marry is the keystone in the fiendish plot to outlaw Christianity, detroy the heterosexual family and hide all the left socks...somehow...
So to keep the gays from somehow, in some vague way destroying the family, you must ensure that we remain a subclass to the heterosexual white men. Who, by the way, suffer so, and are fond of reminding us as often as possible.
Seriously, is it opposite day already?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
