zomg... I have a new favorite Congressman: Democratic Rep. Lincoln Davis. You know how the right wing is always saying that gay marriage is a threat to the sanctity of marriage, and therefore must be crushed beneath their collective jackboots? Well, in answer to the recent defeat of their a$$hole anti-gay-marriage constitutional amendment, Lincoln Davis stood up and suggested that it didn't go far enough.
Basically, he said... fine, you want to preserve marriage? Then outlaw divorce, and make adultery a felony. And beyond that, "We should prevent those who commit adultery or get a divorce from running for office. Mr. Speaker, this House must lead by example. If we want those watching on C-SPAN to actually believe that we're serious about protecting marriage, then we should go after the other major threats to the institution."
He wasn't really being serious, I don't think, but was instead calling out the GOP and challenging them to seriously tackle this "problem". I've been thinking/saying/ranting the same sort of thing for a while, and I am so stoked that an elected representative stood on the floor of the US House and obliquely ripped the right wing a new one. =P
Anyways, we can thank War Room for this article, too. See the original here.
