As you may have heard, Samuel Wurzelbacher, aka Joe the Plumber, was giving an interview to Christianity Today, where as usual, he displayed some of his now famous Wurzelbacher wit.
When asked about gay marriage, Mr. the Plumber said:
People don't understand the dictionary--it's called queer. Queer means strange and unusual. It's not like a slur, like you would call a white person a honky or something like that. You know, God is pretty explicit in what we're supposed to do--what man and woman are for. Now, at the same time, we're supposed to love everybody and accept people, and preach against the sins. I've had some friends that are actually homosexual. And, I mean, they know where I stand, and they know that I wouldn't have them anywhere near my children.
Classy. But, Joe's not only someone who can "articulate conservatism" as Rush Limbaugh said. He is a man with a plan.
A plan to keep the "strange and unusual" homosexuals away from his children. Take a look.
Alright, I'm going to be honest with you. I'm not sure Joe the Plumber actually has kids. I searched the web for about 10 minutes, then got bored and stopped. I know he's divorced. And if he does have kids, he may not literally place them in a crate to keep them away from gay people. Maybe it'd be in a closet, or perhaps the basement.
But really, this is all the Republicans have left. Embrace the bigoted. The racist. The sexist. Box themselves in more and more until they're crushed by their own hatred. And if they want to box themselves in, I say fine. It leaves more room for the rest of us.
Also, feel free to follow me on Twitter if you're someone who does that sort of thing.
