Gingrich blames teachers for same sex marriage

[proud2BlibKansan]

Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich on Thursday blamed teachers for the growing acceptance of same sex marriage, according to Right Wing Watch.

“I think ultimately we’re going to have to have a federal amendment because at the rate we’re going, you might be able to pass a federal law, but at the rate we’re going it’s going to be just chaos, you’re going to have some states that say it’s all right and other states that say it’s not all right,” he said during a conference call with the Gingrich Faith Leaders Coalition.

A woman on the conference call told Gingrich that same sex marriage would eventually lead to people to marry dogs.

“Remember we have now had a whole two generations of teachers who explained to us ‘you shouldn’t render moral judgment, after all it’s all situation ethics, who are we to decide,’ and that’s been a major problem,” Gingrich responded.

1. wasn't he some sort of "teacher" at one point? so he is partly responsible?

3. He married his teacher, before he dumped her in the hospital.

Another GOP class act.

2. If I were female and looked at Newt, I'd be in favor of same sex marriage too.

If I were gay and looked at Newt, I'd be for "traditional marriage"!

5. He better take children away from bad liberal parents

because my Mom (born 1920) said that to me and I (born 1948) said the same to my own children. I am very sure my straight married daughter (born 1984) will say the same to her kids, if she chooses to have any. Yes, that was another thing my Mom said to me that I passed on, "Your right to NOT have children trumps my right to be a Grandma."

Yep, those AWFUL Public School Teachers are the cause of generations of this thinking.

6. We need an amendment that says equal rights for every person. Period.

Not the opposite - if that anti-marriage amendment ever came to a vote we'd all be screwed.
