Putting The Old In GOP

Sen. Jim DeMint said that even though no one publicly came to his defense in 2004 after he preached that gay people and unwed mothers should be banned from teaching, "everyone" privately told him not to back down from his position.  C'mon, don't you have some distain for blacks and Muslims, too?

DipShit DeMint heavily implied that not banning gay people and women who have sex with before marriage from teaching was an attack on Christians.  Given the incredible hypocracy that the right wing demonstrates with gays and pre-marital sex, I'd say the attack is mostly on their credibility. The ultra-conservative, close-minded official brought the issue back into the spotlight when he spoke at the Greater Freedom Rally at First Baptist Church in North Spartanburg, South Carolina, which is a total oxymoron considering the words "freedom" are in the same sentence as "Baptist" and "South Carolina".

In line with his "personal beliefs," he also felt that local school boards should be able to decide whether to discriminate against gay and unwed pregnant teachers.  And did he state his position on whether sexually active unmarried male teachers should be similarly removed from classrooms? Uh, no...because what's wrong with that?

One of his spin doctors said whether or not gay people should be banned from the classroom isn't an issue on DeMint's agenda as a Senate member. "Senator DeMint believes that hiring decisions at local schools are a local school board issue, not a federal issue...he was making a point about how the media attacks people for holding a moral opinion."  So to recap, even if you're an antiquated bigot you can still share your opinions, as long as you pretend that you're not in a position to enforce them.  And shame on the media for holding an elected official to any standard!

His election rival is long-shot Democratic candidate Alvin Greene, so DeMint can really hit the gas with his crazy bullshit, since it would take setting a bus full of retarded orphans on fire to cause trouble for him at the polls.  He really is a man of the people...and I can't believe those people also get to vote. I think there's really only a decade or two left for most of these Republicans who didn't get hip to the social revolution of the 60's, and then when they're dead, the problem will just be reconciling the misdirection of plain stupid folks, not the backwards, old school thinking that been dying for nearly 50 years.
