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 Courts 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 youre 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 doesnt believe in the theory of evolution anyway. Perkins agreed with the callers take on evolution, stating that the evidence is overwhelming that evolution doesnt 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. Youre certainly not going to reproduce.

The fact that this idiot is making demands and threats is really sad

(182,830 posts)2. I learned three things on this
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.
