CPAC: Gay Marriage Will Lead to a Generation of Violent Criminals [RightWingWatch.org]

[ohmss069]

What a crock of shit. I've had two loving parents (mother and father) involved in my life and am still homosexual. On top of that, I do not have a criminal history.

Justify it all you want, tends to be what Americans always do when facing something different than what they're used to. Rather than learn to accept something new, we find excuses to get rid of it as long as we can.

[Wintermute01001]

We've had centuries of straight marriage yet we still have plenty of violent criminals.

[newfagscanttrif0rce]

WON"T SOMEONE PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN?!

Waaaah

[MaryWaterton]

Matt Staver is speaking common sense. Having no father does not mean you WILL be a criminal, but it does increase the odds significantly. Having fag parents does not mean you WILL be a fag, but it does raise the odds significantly.

[PatrickWhite85]

Correlation is not causation.

[GatheringStorm999]

Common sense is lacking with you.

[thegoochieguy]

i guess that having 2 dads would have solved their fatherlessness

[LtBeefy91]

how is same sex marriage either fatherless or motherless? YOU HAVE AT LEAST ONE OF EITHER...Btw, you should really go to jail, and see how many of them were raised by a loving gay couple- if you don't find any, you know why.

[ridgewatbrad]

try being a white conservative , everyone has your butt in their cross hairs . it takes a dad and a mom to raise good well adjusted kids .

[GatheringStorm999]

Living in a country full of godless, lost, socialist young whores.

[GatheringStorm999]

There is no such thing as "Gay" marriage - it is a contradiction in terms.

[goochieguy]

violent criminals!

what napoleon? hitler? mao? the terrorists?

come the fuck on!

my kids would definitely not be fatherless.

[cjvh5150]

2 good parents are always better than one or none. Does it always have to be a Mom and a Dad? I think we see that hetros f--- kids plenty, I'm sure that there are plenty of gay folks out there that could do a much better job.

[GatheringStorm999]

Divorce was the gay marriage of the married. Now, gay marriage is the gay marriage of the married.

[kennedyposter]

as a person raised by a single mom (dad passed away when i was 6), i am insulted. i personally turned out pretty well despite my lack of male guidance growing up. i just graduated from a good college and will be starting at a top 50 law school this fall. am i an anomaly? i don't think so...i might be such had my mother been a crack whore working at taco bell. my mom, however, had the resources to encourage my success. maybe this character should think about correlation vs. causation.

[artcast]

by that logic, having 2 fathers will make them superior citizens

[TruthWarrior777]

HAHA...DOUBTFUL.

[GatheringStorm999]

I am completely against anything homosexual since it is a vote against the family.

However, your logic is very humorous. I laughed when I saw this comment. Seriously one good Dad is enough with a Mom...two of either is unnatural.

[zenobia411]

According to this guy, two (2) fathers should be twice as good as only a mom and a dad.

Gay marriage should be MANDATORY with that logic.

Opposition to gay marriage makes no sense.

[xanish]

i'm totally with this guy. i mean, that's why single-parent homes are illegal in America. How could anyone set up such an obvious jailtrap for future generations.

Oh yes, and fathers who work too much and are never home. I think the government shoudl impose father-son quality time hours. Because that's what we need, the government making laws on private matters.

[MatthewCVR]

LOL

[xanish]

hahahaha =)

[UnluckyGambler]

sigh... all anti-gay-marriage people are FUCKING MORONS! period ;]

comon, yall know its true.

[tobbems]

right. violent criminals are violent because they had lesbian mommies.

conservatives are a riot these days

[GatheringStorm999]

Let's see conservatives don't support the bastardization of natural law, pray to God for the most part, and reject socialism. WTF do you offer?

[leviduncan101]

Ok this doesn't make sense to me...

So he is saying that Gay Marriage is not ok because it means that the baby will go without a mom or dad... ???? am I the only one who sees the problem with his theory... Im pretty sure with the divorce rate way up and more single mom's having two loving parents are better than the two situations mentioned before. Gay Marriage should be LEGAL! It shouldn't even be up to the government!

[GatheringStorm999]

Its not a theory. Fatherless homes have undermined society. Homosexuality is coopted by the left to undermine the authority of both scripture and the white male. Taken together, society is now weaker than its ever been.

[sidewinderleftist]

i think all republicans have serious daddy issues

[Annfontanella]

noo, liberals hate "established values" as a proxy for their daddies.

[ziggity]

Too bad there are many of studies that show kids raised in a same sex families are just as likely to grow up as normal as any other kid in a good home. There is no link to kids being raised in same sex families and crime, being gay, acting out or anything like that. The ignorance of people just amazes me.

[GatheringStorm999]

Those scientists work for the homosexual agenda. They are subject to confirmation bias severely. You are denying this.

[shotogeek]

That's because their dad's were gang bangers too, and in prison. I don't see many gay guys running around poppin' caps.

[GatheringStorm999]

Too busy trying to force white straight males to validate homosexual pervertedness as normal.

It makes for a busy day.

[Womanizer2985]

Afterward this man stayed behind to sigh copies of Mein Kampf and had a private party w the Log Cabin Republicans where they all masturbated in self-loathing.

I wonder if next year's CPAC they will finally just come out and say it and admit they want to see gays and lesbians exterminated in concentration camps.

[GatheringStorm999]

Stupid comment.

[angry1278]

nigga please

[akwhiteraven]

gosh this meeting contained more nuts then a planters can

[SpitfireOFatj]

It's amazing to consider the fact that these authoritarians are a local product in a country that started through a revolt against a King. If they had their way we'd still be run by a King.

[MrXfromPlanetX]

It's too bad Ron Paul came in 3rd in their straw poll. What Ron Paul said is "People should be able to get a legal contract and call it what ever they want, they just shouldn't be able to impose it on other people." watch?v=UJz81lAwY0M

I keep telling the religious people, Prop 8 should have just stated you can't sue a church if they don't want to recognize a gay marriage.

If that's all it said, they wouldn't be infringing on people's rights. I concede I haven't had much luck convincing them

[kissfan7]

There is no contract that would give all the benefits and rights marriage provides.

If you're looking for a Republican who supports gay equality you could do much better than Paul. He thinks states have the right to arrest gay people for the crime of having sex, called gay men "terrorists", said we average 1,000 partners, wrote "Bring Back the Closet", and said the writer of an article on Andy Rooney' homophobia "certainly had an axe to grind, and that's not easy with a limp wrist."

[FreedomUSA1]

Rush was a great parent to the step-kids from his second or third marriage. I'm sure they appreciated his attention or lack thereof.

[rasaxSF]

CPAC - the epicenter of more recycled lies.

[MrXfromPlanetX]

As the great philosopher Chris Rock once said, referring to being a single mother, "You can drive a car with your feet if you wana, that don't mean it's a good idea."

Barack Obama stressed the importance of fathers being their for their children. He should know. He grew up without his father in his life.

How this has anything to do with gay marriage, I have no idea.

It appears to be an issue with straight people.

[MrXfromPlanetX]

Oops, "I meant there for their children"

[MrXfromPlanetX]

What strikes me as odd is many Conservatives, and the Eagle Forum somehow believe making gay people marry straight people will "fix them"

I believe the contribute to a great many broken homes because a gay person married to a straight person is a marriage doomed to fail.

I do believe children are better off with two parents. Whether it matters if they are the same sex, I don't know. I have known many troubled young men because their fathers were not in their lives.

[Shafo]

I don't know whether to be outraded by this video or just laugh at this man's efforts to yet again try to persuade straight people to look down upon gay people and their ability to instill "real" values in the children they raise. This is such a load of BS

[Leetist]

Wow this is really grasping for straws. He does not realize that what he is referring to is a BROKEN family. His argument does not hold up to the peer-reviewed research done on the same-sex couples vs. heterosexual couples raising children. Prop. 8 is putting families in jeopardy just because some people believe in forcing religious codes on the general population.

[theominousthey]

Do I 5 this because RightWingWatch is bringing an important video? Or 1 it to register my anger at this horrible person and his horrible opinions?

[chick5581]

on a scale of 1-10, 10 being the best i would probably give this video a 8.5 something about it just made this video good.

[cpenter]

So . . . more gay dads will reduce crime?

[13otany13ay]

"You dont have to read thousands of sociological studies to..."

No, you should, really, you should read sociological studies. It helps to not talk embarassing BS in public and make a complete fool out of yourself.

[EquivocallyAbsurd]

That has got to be the most ridiculous argument against gay marriage I've ever heard. It certainly doesn't speak well of heterosexual marriage which is an absolute farce nowadays.

[FatLibertarian]

Wow, the GOP has helped bring our country to the brink and now they're still hating gay people? It's obvious this man is a Christian, looking for an excuse to be against gay people and gay marriage.

[HomoGeneyes]

May you find strength & courage in everything you do, may your life be filled with Friendship and Love! It takes strength to survive, It takes courage to live. It takes strength 2 love, It takes courage 2 be loved. It takes strength 2 stand alone, It takes courage 2 lean on a friend. It takes strength 2 endure abuses, It takes courage 2 stop them. It takes strength 2 conquer, It takes courage 2 surrender. It takes strength 2 stand guard, It takes courage 2 let down your guard. YES WE CAN!

[hbfarker]

the only thing he proved is that straight relationships don't work. 99% of the men in prison come from broken straight families. perhaps he needs to promote banning divorce? the main issue here is whether their is 'love' in the home. a gay couple that go out of there way to adopt a child is more likely to love their child and bring them up in a 'loving' home. why this guy doesn't understand this simple fact is appalling.

this video has 'epic fail' written all over it.

[sloopy312]

I work with many gay depressed and suicidal youth, and most come from Christian homes with a Christian mom and dad. These youth try to take their lives because they feel abandoned by all they love: The church, youth pastor, society, and family. When I have talked to these parents [at least those who would let me] they put the words of the Bible over the lives and well-being of their children.

Check prison stats and see what %, who have assaulted or killed gays are Christian following the Bible.

[wolfesw]

Let's take that as a fact for a second. That would mean that any child raised by gay fathers would be a super citizen! Giving more time, money, and support to our communities than anybody else. (This is completely hypothetical and not meant to bash lesbians in any way. I have many good lesbian friends that I wish could have been my mothers)

[Hdtex]

Grasping at any last straw for significance.

WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDREN????

[SAGEBOT500]

Anyone who typed anything more substantive than "FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF­FFFFFFFFF" on this video is giving these fucktards too much credit.

[Jacksonholenativ]

What a blessing to have same sex parents. Therefore you won't be likely to be like these bigoted, creepy, religious nutbars.

[FallenAngelIII]

Of course he lied. The majority of the anti-gay marriage "arguments" are pure lies. That's all they have.

[Jacksonholenativ]

Let them keep spewing their hate filled lies and the GOP will continue to drift into the wilderness of irrelevance as time marches forward. It would be a blessing if the GOP as we know it today would would one day just go extinct.

[KevinMossVT]

Why doesn't he ask the criminals the actually important question:

Were you raised by straight parents or a gay or lesbian couple? I bet his answer wouldn't be the latter!

[howisbabbyformed]

what a tool

[THAORIGINALTURNSEY]

this dude is closeted as fuck

[beastlt12]

Yes you MUST have a dad AND mom to properly brainwash your children!

And let's not forget that correlation ALWAYS equals causation.

What a moron

[jrlassiter]

of course all the gay male escorts in DC are doing very very well this week w/ all the right wing goof balls in town.

at least someone's getting some stimulus.

[jerrydoubleu]

haha. It's true that these neoconfuktards like sex when it's "dirty" and feel shame while they suck dick.

[Kenmoron]

and this is why we take children away from single mothers. (lol) And his definition of father is the penis that penetrated? Good sir maybe you should read thousands of sociological papers. Your logic is tortured

[CypherSystem]

Yeah cause my drug dealing abusive father was oh so great for the 6 years I knew him, that is until he burned down our house and went to jail.

I never received an ounce of support from the man, and I will never need too, shut the fuck up you homophobic bigot.

[ryukage99]

This is the very reason why the Republican is doomed for extinction,If social cons,neo-cons, agree with moderates and keep the moderates from jumping ship. The party of Lincoln who freed the slaves has become party overruned by xenophobic people who rather have two classes of people, White straight Christian on top and everyone else on the bottom.

[SpeedyBruin]

There have been studies of the children of same sex couples. They show us no real differences. To compare same sexed two parent families to single mother families is a gross misrepresentation of the research.

[JohnRhysMusician]

Not true.

[johnaryder]

It's 100% true. Show one study that says that same-sex parents raise children worse than opposite-sex parents.

[eugeneonegin09]

john, says who?? proove it

[johnaryder]

The American Academy of Pediatrics, for one. Studies really aren't hard to find.

[masterhook]

really, prove it. the only place your going to find that is from some right wing group that came in looking to find that. So please before you say something stupid like that do the real work.

[smeejay]

crickets...

[eugeneonegin09]

only if they have violent fights about who left the tube off the toothpaste,who put too much fabric softener in ones shorts,or celine vs. madonna??!!

[Nutrino2179]

It just tweaks me to listen to the goofy crap that passes for logical arguments in these clips from Wacky-PAC. And it tweaks me even further to know that they're plotting to take over our government by using these arguments to illustrate how insightful and wise they are.

[uru86]

Do these psycho-babble conservatives take themselves srsly?

[johnaryder]

Logically, everyone should have two fathers.

[whoo689]

Correlation is NOT causation, you dumb fuck.

[CaseyGoodDog]

Okay, so does the bible say men shouldn't procreate without responsibility? And why isn't he preaching that message.

[purewonka]

Don't you love to listen to morons subvert logic to prove the justness of a bias? The funniest thing is that this guy actually thinks he is making sense.

[weeezboy]

Gay marriage does not have to worry about its effect on the rise of violent crimes. Straight marriage or should I say divorce has that all wrapped up. These crimes already happen without gay marriage.

[SeenAndNotSeen]

So having two gay men for parents will make someone doubly unlikely to end up in jail...

[appledozeLeonTaz]

This throws their whole argument to the dump.

I seriously can't believe that there are people that think in such a way. In a society like this. They're basically making a Christian version of male domination in families like radical Muslims would do. It baffles me. ಠ_ಠ

[SeenAndNotSeen]

What is that symbol?

[OnlyIfYouSayPlease]

These studies are based on single-parenthood, compared to dual-parenthood... not same-sex-parenthood compared to opposite-sex-parenthood.

Not that anyone should trust the word of religious fundamentalists to begin with...

Studies conduct and analyzed by the APA concluded that the psychological development of children is not compromised by same-sex parents.

[garysdeskcom]

My name is Mat Staver. Color my face stupid.

[goldgrif]

hmm 1600 years of violence due to christians forcing their beliefs

see direct correlation

[1000huzzahs]

yeah I agree, does this mean that 2 fathers will lower the crime rate at doubletime? Mat Staver shouldn't pretend thinking about two women having sex doesn't get him off either...

[WellConditioned]

...and how many of those men in prison who claimed they had no father came from heterosexual households, you fucking idiot!

[jerrydoubleu]

2 father's might be better than one.

[CaseyGoodDog]

and exactly how does he think all those women got pregnant who raised those fatherless children? Seems to me he should spend his time working on that problem.

[durge666]

BLASPHEMY! Condoms are fucking evil, you stupid shit!

/sarcasm

[masterhook]

wow, really yea gay people will do all of that. let not think abou the 50+% of marriages that end in the first year... its the gays! let not think about all the single moms out there... Its the gays! let not think about all the drugs out there... its the gays! really gay marriage will do more harm then that. yea an in the inner cities where all the crime is there is just gang of gays making that shit happen. really fuck you.
