Tony Perkins: Impeach Supreme Court Justices Who Rule For Marriage Equality

Submitted by Brian Tashman on Friday, 4/24/2015 11:50 am

Family Research Council President Tony Perkins spoke with Iowa-based radio host Jan Mickelson yesterday about the upcoming marriage case at the Supreme Court, which Perkins predicted will end with the court striking down bans on same-sex marriage across the country. Once this occurs, Perkins warned, “it will be open season on people of faith.” He predicted that the court will issue a ruling similar to Roe v. Wade, further dividing Americans and contradicting “natural law.” Mickelson suggested that if this happens, members of Congress should try to “remove” the Supreme Court’s “jurisdiction” over the marriage issue and “nullify” its decision, sending the message to the justices that “if you try it again we will impeach your sorry keisters.” Perkins heartily agreed: “I think you’re absolutely right.”

Tony Perkins: Evolution Proves Homosexuality Is Wrong

Submitted by Brian Tashman on Friday, 4/24/2015 11:40 am

Yesterday on “Washington Watch,” Family Research Council President Tony Perkins blasted President Obama and Hillary Clinton for “evolving” on the issue of marriage equality, prompting one listener to chime in and tell Perkins that he doesn’t believe in the theory of evolution anyway. Perkins agreed with the caller’s take on evolution, stating that “the evidence is overwhelming” that evolution doesn’t occur. However, since Obama and Clinton believe that “we are constantly in this state of evolution,” Perkins said, then they should oppose gay rights. “If you logically game this out, the idea that somehow same-sex marriage or same-sex attraction, homosexuality, could be the advancement of evolution,” he said, “well, it would be the end of the road. It is a dead-end street. You’re certainly not going to reproduce.”

1. Subject line of the day

2. If you even mention evolution someone will feel compelled to call in and completely side track the conversation

3. Mentioning logic and evidence (when you are in the belief industry ) does not mean that you have the slightest clue as to what you are making mouth words about.

Some are just straight anti-gay assholes.

However, I do believe that Tony is in the former category, not the latter.
