Rep. Steve King, Keep F*cking That Chicken

Is Rep. King Doing His Job?

Recently, Iowa Rep. Steve King (R-IA) said gay marriage is “a radical social idea” and “a purely socialist concept.” Really? How can anyone come to that stupid conclusion? How? Let’s look at some other comments King has made:

“I think that the argument that there is a civil right to same-sex marriage is not based upon a rational thought process.”

“…everyone has an equal right to get married to a member of the opposite sex, because after all that is marriage, and I’m not willing to go down the path of seeking to redefine something that all of human history and experience has already defined.”

Iowans do not have “a very good understanding of what same-sex marriage does to the overall institution of marriage.”

“Along with a constitutional amendment, the legislature must also enact marriage license residency requirements so that Iowa does not become the gay marriage Mecca due to the Supreme Court’s latest experiment in social engineering.”

And then this, King’s hateful crescendo:

“…if there’s a right to same-sex marriage, if that right exists then that means Rick Santorum was right. The right also exists for any other relationship that one might argue. Then there would exist no ban, no rational foundation to prohibit incest, for example, between father and a son or a daughter or a mother and a son or daughter, for example or brothers and sisters.”

And that, my friends, is why the King thinks Americans are stupid. You and I know that same sex marriage doesn’t lead to socialism, incest, bestiality or “any other relationship.” Same sex marriage leads to, well, marriage. Love. Support. Why would anyone think that if you legalize something it leads to something else?

If we legalize pot, America will not become Cannabis Nation. And Americans are not going to quit their jobs, leave their families, and start shooting heroin. There’s no “slippery slope.” The poppy will not become the national flower. Coke will not replace baseball as the Great American Pastime. Do you, personally, think if pot were legalized, you would all of a sudden develop a desire to smoke pot? Of course not. All that would happen were we to legalize pot is that we could tax it, which would be great.

If you’re straight, right now, ask yourself this: If gay marriage becomes legal across this great land of ours, will I become gay? Will I want to leave my spouse, switch sides, and marry a person of the same gender? Will I hit on my mother or father? My sister, or brother? Will I, to quote the unfortunate misstep of a local NYC anchorman, want to fuck a chicken?

If you answer “yes,” to any of these questions, then you have some other issues, but what you don’t have is an issue with same-sex marriage.

Rep. King, instead of being obsessed with homosexuality and same sex marriage, perhaps the great citizens of Iowa should be asking you what you are doing to help them?

Consider these facts, via Homeless Children America:

“Iowa has 142,000 children living in poverty.”

“More than 10,033 of Iowa’s children experience homelessness each year…”

“Iowa ranks 11th in the nation in child homelessness.”

Now, tell me, Rep. King, are you doing your job?
