Bottom Line, I’m always salty and edgy. I just fake sweet and smooth.

I am not touching this one. As I believe the government, should stay out as well. I could really care less who marry’s who, we should all be able to suffer equally! Anna, you are a bit salty and edgy lately, what gives?

Rep. Davis was NOT serious. He was making a point about the hypocrisy of the bill. He did vote for it, but that is not to say he meant the ironies of his speech literally. He represents a really rural, conservative district (previously represented by a neo-con) that practically demands a yes vote on passage. His speech was simply to highlight the larger issue- gays don’t threaten our marriages. We threaten our marriages.

Thanks, J. Clifford. I really thought he was being sarcastic, but I see that he voted for the amendment, which persuades me that he was indeed serious. You’re right, he’s certifiable.

Well, at least Rep. Davis can’t top the great former U.S. Senator from my state, Jeremiah Denton, who proposed on the floor of the Senate that adultery be punishable by death………..

Here’s the scary part now…

I thought that Alablawg was right, and that this surely a sarcastic illustration of the right wing’s hypocrisy. After all, who could be so crazy as to say that divorce should be a felony, a crime resulting in prison time disqualifying people from public office and preventing people from voting in most states. That would be insane, right?

I think that Lincoln Davis officially qualifies as insane.

He actually meant what he said. Somebody called up the office of Lincoln Davis and asked if Congressman Davis was serious about making adultery and divorce criminal acts, and the aide said YES.

Lincoln Davis wants to give us what the Taliban had: Police who enforce religious codes of morality, putting people in prison for having sex.

This is so mind-blowingly out of hand that I am actually having to hold onto my chair, because the world feels like it’s turning upside down.

How could any American seriously propose this?

I put the video up at my site, and have been watching it, trying to see some way to conclude that Lincoln Davis is not certifiably nuts.

I can’t come up with anything.
