Bob Says...

My Friend, Robert likes to highlight stuff on the net that interests or enrages him. Here's one to share:

"Alan Keyes' daughter is a lesbian. Surprise! How many more virulent anti-gay politicians and activists have gay offspring? Still, she showed her family loyalty by campaigning with her dad. And her dad's compassionate conservative approach to this news? He has apparently cut her off. Pro-family? "
Andrew Sullivan said

In Maya Keyes own words:

"They -our friends on the far right- like to 'say' they don't 'hate homosexuals'. The just say that they merely 'hate' the sin or 'the lifestyle' that gay people lead. I say bullshit. They hate gay people. Nobody who can do this, to their own child, can pretend that there is any 'love' in this. You have to wonder, after all the garbage about 'family values', about 'God' and 'Jesus' and 'morals', what crawls as thought through the mind of a father who not only fires his own child, but pushes her out the door without the resources to start over. This man, ladies and gentlemen, wanted to be a U.S. Senator, and now wants to be a state Governor. A leader of men, and a crafter of laws. So I ask you, what kind of world would we all be living in if this man had any kind of power or say-so over any of our lives? "

My jaw dropped as I read this and my feelings summed up at the end like so:

"Isn't there any human kindness in Alan Keyes?"

Little truth coming out of these politicos. Less each day. Well paid hypoctits.

G'night,

Bob

I just want to add here that Robert has been an open admirer of Keyes in the past.
