Gays are the greatest threat to America??? | Print |  E-mail

According to Sen. Chris Buttars, yes.

Were do they find these idiots?

The Mormon state senator in Utah who compared gays to Islamic terrorists, and said that gays pose the greatest threat to the world today.

Sen. Chris Buttars considers the gay-rights movement -- nationally and in Utah -- "probably the greatest threat to America."

In an interview with documentary filmmaker Reed Cowan, released by KTVX Ch. 4 on Tuesday night, Buttars said the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community doesn't want "equality, they want superiority."

"It's the beginning of the end. Oh, it's worse than that. Sure. Sodom and Gomorrah was localized. This is worldwide," the West Jordan Republican said in the interview.

On Wednesday, gay-rights activist Jacob Whipple, founder of the All For One Initiative, called for Buttars' resignation from the Utah Senate, urging supporters of the LGBT community to e-mail Buttars and Senate President Michael Waddoups, R-Taylorsville.

"He basically labeled my community as virtually the devil incarnate," Whipple said. "I don't think that he represents Utah any more. … Saying something so hurtful has no place on the hill."

Last year, the NAACP called for Buttars to resign after comments he made on the Senate floor about a complex school-funding bill, saying, "This baby is black . . . It's a dark, ugly thing."

But Buttars kept his seat and won re-election in November.

Buttars also compared gay activists to Muslim terrorists.

Hooray for Buttars standing up for freedom of speech. I wish more of our leaders in Utah and around the country would support our constitutional rights instead of stomping them out and giving homosexuals special rights and protections that infringe on everyone else's rights. Homosexuals have been the most intolerant bigoted group I've every seen. Look at the hundreds of churches and chapels that they have desicrated by homosexuals shooting out the windows and vandalizing them. I wish our leaders would crack down and speak out about the bigotry eminating from within the homosexual community and protect Christians from these kinds of retributions.

thank god we live in america where stupid people can express their stupid opinions without fear of being thrown in prison and being tortured for being stupid.

Another reason for me to avoid Utah. If a person finds homosexuality reprehensible, that is their right, I do not think that gives them the right to claim that they are the biggest threat.  
 
I suppose that perhaps some people need a way to simplify the many complications of the modern world, and it is easier to point fingers of blame at others, than to try responsibility.

Stupid people.
Interesting spin Steve. 
I think the greatest threat to the world is stupid people, the 'Grate Unthinking', especially in democracies where they vote fore idiots like themselves, thus completing the cycle of stupidity.  
In dictatorships, thinkers are indeed jailed.

Sophamoric is imprisonment
\"thank god we live in America where stupid people can express their stupid opinions without fear of being thrown in prison and being tortured for being stupid\". New laws enacted by Bush that have not been revoked by Obama are construed to arrest, repossess their personal property, arrest those who meet in groups when it can be construed as to (change) over throw the government. In the state where I live FEMA initiated cooperation with state law enforcement officials, that any third party candidate supporters are potential terrorist suspects. After law officials collected identities of individuals from vehicles displaying bumper stickers of 3rd party candidates a rather large list was collected for FEMA. Thanks to Ron Paul and others this list was removed. Point being, if this was done in one state, (MO.) how many other states has this been going on in? What is the difference in a dictator who throw a dissident in prison for speaking out. And other tactics that amount to the same, such as AT+T bleeping a internet rock concert when the rock group starts to make comments about the war or government, the sensor and ban of the Dixie Chicks music from the air waves and inability for them to even arrange to book concert locations to go on tour to perform. But then yes stupid bigoted remarks are allowed to hit the media waves. Or just limited exposure to music and voices can be herd. Even certain radio and TV that strive to expose unheard voices in democracies, yet always fail to expose or speak directly to the system that creates that system of suppression, since it would offend the foundations that fund their programs.
