Roy Moore: SCOTUS Gay Marriage Ruling Paves Way For Government To 'Take Your Children'
Submitted by Brian Tashman on Monday, 3/9/2015 3:10 pm
Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore told the audience at the Family Research Councils Faith and Family Summit on Friday that if the Supreme Court rules that states dont have the right to impose bans on same-sex marriage, it would give immense power to the federal government. If marriage and family life become federal issues, Moore warned, theyre going to be taking your children simply by the same logic theyre following. Theyre going to define who your children can be and who they answer to, Moore said. People will say, oh we couldnt go there, well were going somewhere else right now that we didnt think we would be going. Moore told FRC President Tony Perkins that Christians need to stand up and do their duty to God as their duty to their country by fighting gay rights. He declared that the issue of marriage rights is much more important than foreign affairs, immigration, economics or the national debt: This is the most critical issue that faces this country. And I want to disagree a little bit with what Ive heard about asking our presidential candidates [about marriage rights]. We should not have to ask them, Tony. If they havent come up and said it, they should not even be considered.

I couldn't make heads or tails out of what he said, or any of the "reasoning" behind it.
Good lord...
Which is frightening enough, but when I stop to think how many people will think he makes perfect sense...

LGBT don't want your kids, but the religious right damn sure wants the kids of LGBT and anyone else who won't beat the fear of God into them.
