Nature isn't politically correct at all.

TOLEDO -- Merrill Keiser, Jr., is a trucker by trade, and he's hoping his next journey takes him all the way to Washington. His goal is a seat in the US Senate, but first he has to make it through the primary that will determine which Ohio Democrat will be the November ballot.
The Fremont man is causing some controversy with one of his beliefs. He tells News 11 homosexuality should be a felony, punishable by death. "Just like we have laws against murder, we have laws against stealing, we have laws against taking drugs -- we should have laws against immoral conduct," Keiser says.
Keiser has no political background. He says the only reason he's running as a Democrat is because that's how he was registered the last time he voted.
Keiser will face Democrat Sherrod Brown in the May primary.
He probably shouldn't quit his day job.
I'm guessing they both have some latent "tendencies" themselves.
I thought democrats were against the death penalty ... except for babies.
Welcome to Sharia law western style.
While we are at it lets kill aldulterers, fornicators, stripteasers, ho's....hell lets kill everyone and let God sort them out.../sarc
This guy's an idiot. No wonder he's running as a democrat.
There's some on both sides.
This guy's running for governor in Texas on the Republican side

This article has to be a joke, because this is to surreal to be true.
Gee. Who woulda guessed THAT?
(Denny Crane: "I Don't Want To Socialize With A Pinko Liberal Democrat Commie. Say What You Like About Republicans. We Stick To Our Convictions. Even When We Know We're Dead Wrong.")
Where's this guy think he is? Saudi Arabia?

Thats ok they are already living under one.
This should be the deal Republicans offer: Everyone leave the queers alone and the queers have to take their sex back into the closet and stop bothering people with pron parades and public school kiddie sex clubs. :)
IIRC from the stats, being an active homo is, in and of itself, an early death sentence.
Oh my, it's not a joke, this lunatic is serious.
If I lived in Ohio, it would be fun to vote for him just to embarrass the heck out of Democrats. He would be worse than David Duke.
Wasn't Phelps a Al Gore delegate?

That would be no deal since 1) we don't do anything to queers anyway and 2) the deviants are not happy unless they are shoving it in our faces.
Absolutely
No wonder he (Kilgore) thinks he can eliminate the budget for state prisons in Texas; when so many things warrant "capital punishment", who needs prisons? How real is this guy?
He's going after the Muslim vote in Ohio.
Nature isn't politically correct at all.
They claim their party is "a big tent". Let's see how they handle this in the "big tent".
Excellent point...LOL
KOOK Alert!
"Merrill Keiser is not the first one either; Fred Phelps is a democrat too."
Honestly, neither one of these people is any more a Democrat than David Duke is a Republican.
Point taken...however, his affiliation is also discussed openly on the official Democratic web site (see post #15). BTW, Fred Phelps was an official delegate for Algore.
but in DEMON-RAT eyes David Duke IS a republican... so in my eyes these dudes are DUMB-O-RATS :-)
We all have the death penalty.
"Just like we have laws against murder, we have laws against stealing,
I think he would have helped himself more if he HAD NOT included stealing
there are some who don't take lightly to people messing with their only source of income
;-)
Are there always this many weirdos during an election year or am I just paying more attention now?

How real is he? Well he has, for all intents and purposes 0 chance of winning the primary, but as he says on his website he did take 30% of the republican primary vote in 2004 when running for state representative for district 93.

Granted that 30% amounted to only 474 people but he could probably garner a few percent statewide.
The odds are he is 'as queer as a three dollar bill', but in deep denial about his own sexuality. Just like Fred Phelps. Phelps has such a degree of irrationality in his antipathy, that it is clearly pathological.
Or, for another example, we should consider the case of Paul Cameron, notorious for his fraudulent studies. Cameron made the following statement, in an interview with Rolling Stone magazine(March 18, 1999):
"The evidence is that men do a better job on men, and women on women, if all you are looking for is orgasm… It's pure sexuality. It's almost like pure heroin. It's such a rush." That sounds as if he is obsessed with the thought of having sex with another man, considering it much better than having sex with his wife. If Paul Cameron's quotation was an indication of his actual sexuality, it would be strong evidence that Cameron is 'as queer as a three dollar bill', but in deep denial about his own sexuality. We could also consider Louis Sheldon, chairman of the Traditional Values Coalition. While he rants about gays, it turns out that he has a vast collection of homosexual pornography. That immediately raises the question, "Does Sheldon get his jollies, looking at the pornography?"
Why don't we see the jackass party having an apoplexy over this?
I wonder how far from the Taliban are his views on the use of secular law to enforce the application of his moral/religious views?
While many of us could share some of his personal moral views, many of us admit that western culture has seen too much of its history torn asunder by one "moral" group or another having an excessive dominance over all others, in a diverse society. Even our "pilgrims" who started out here with little "separation of church and state" in their early community, came here seeking escape from someone else's enforcement of a religious code. The philosophial result is that there are practical limits to how much of our own "moral" beliefs can be made into secular law. The limit seems to be whatever consensus view is possible among a diverse population. When we want something "stronger" we need to be careful that we are not setting up conditions that will breed more civil discord than the "moral harmony" sought by the law.
In my view "Roe v Wade" was just such a "moral"(secular humanist) excess, imposed on us all. The 100% opposite of Roe may also not have a true public consensus behind it. Absolutes are not "perfect", for perfection exists only in our imagination.
