Merrill Keiser

A Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate in Ohio wants to make homosexual behavior a capital crime punishable by the death penalty.

Merrill Keiser Jr. is a trucker with no political experience, but he hopes to beat fellow Democrat Rep. Sherrod Brown in the May primary. The winner will try to unseat Republican incumbent Sen. Mike DeWine, assuming he wins the GOP primary.

"Just like we have laws against murder, we have laws against stealing, we have laws against taking drugs – we should have laws against immoral conduct," Keiser told WTOL-TV in Toledo.

Keiser, 61, says he's running as a Democrat because that's how he was registered the last time he voted.

The trucker, who hails from Fremont, Ohio, says there needs to be more adherence to biblical values in government, business and education – something he claims DeWine is not promoting.

"I believe that the United States has been moved in a Godless direction by the courts," he told the Sandusky Register. "To get good men on the court, we need good senators."

Some of Keiser's other positions include defense of the Second Amendment, securing U.S. borders, lower taxes to stimulate the economy, support of Israel and prayer in public schools.

Keiser told the Register the United States should make conversion to Christianity part of the war on terror to teach Muslims the error of their choice in religion.

The candidate also decries evolution, saying it is contrary to the Declaration of Independence.

Sure, it was a slip of the tongue - I meant to say prescribe. I didn't say "hear, hear" for we are communicating over the Internet. You're engaging in pedantry and I consider it to be the weakest..

[Conservative Coulter Fan]

No, this false. I never said, "that Eric Rudolph is a hero, on par with someone who would have assasinated Hitler." I respond to this tangent with a question...that ended with me asking why he'd ask me if I thought Rudolph was a "hero" because he set off a bomb or two...clear sarcasm while he consistently refuses to deal with the abortion holocaust...although he writes letters to the death camps.

[Conservative Coulter Fan]

Wrong...I never brought up anything about Rudolph...you did! I respond by asking why would you ask me if I think he's a hero for setting off a bomb or two...

[Conservative Coulter Fan]

A conservative democrat...yes, but they're going the way of Zel Miller.

[Conservative Coulter Fan]

This was my reply to the dim bulb - "Frugal questions...you'll no more answer me about your toleration of mass murder (Abortion), but you'll ask me if I think Rudoplh is a hero because he set off a bomb or two? If someone had assassinated Hitler early on, would you say that person is a criminal or a hero?" Of course...he took it out of context, and did a Michael Moore, chopped of the question mark, and started at "I think" as falsely claim that I was calling Rudolph a "hero." What about - "Thou shalt not lie?"

[Conservative Coulter Fan]

I'm not troll, you only have to view my other threads to confirm this..quit leaping to conclusions because my point of view on this subject matter is wholly unpopular to what the liberal democrats refer to as "the mainstream."

[RHINO369]

The only difference between you and Bin Ladin is you expect others to commit your mass murder for you.

[Conservative Coulter Fan]

You bear false witness against me...I'm no conservative? I'm very conservative, absolutely conservative..and just because you can't amount effect arguments doesn't mean I'm any less of a conservative.

[Conservative Coulter Fan]

No, I'm no murderer...that's just silly. You keep deceitfully suggesting what is most unture.

[Conservative Coulter Fan]

My reading of scripture is perfectly find, for my point was that the Apostle Paul said they are worthy of death, for Moses had already laid down the Law that they should be put death...and God made vindicates both the points in Genesis 19, which recounts the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah.

[Conservative Coulter Fan]

I'm not an evil person, and I won't quit quoting from the good book. Do not bother me again with your slander - "For they mouth empty, boastful words and, by appealing to the lustful desires of sinful human nature, they entice people who are just escaping from those who live in error. They promise them freedom, while they themselves are slaves of depravity—for a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him. If they have escaped the corruption of the world by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and are again entangled in it and overcome, they are worse off at the end than they were at the beginning. It would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than to have known it and then to turn their backs on the sacred command that was passed on to them. Of them the proverbs are true: "A dog returns to its vomit,"and, "A sow that is washed goes back to her wallowing in the mud."" --II Peter 2:18-22

[Conservative Coulter Fan]

Try, by all means, for it is a great thing to be persecuted for the lord's sake..

[Mr. Brightside]

Wrong...I never brought up anything about Rudolph...you did! I respond by asking why would you ask me if I think he's a hero for setting off a bomb or two...

I brought up Eric Rudolph's terrorist actions in post #133.

And YOU REPLIED: "Extreme circumstances DEMAND extreme actions."

Do you not now support you own statements?

[Conservative Coulter Fan]

David Limbaugh said, "Is the decision (and the cultural conditions it is doubtlessly based on) more evidence that America has degenerated into an immoral nation unworthy of the Constitution? Have we abandoned the moral foundations of our freedoms?" I suppose you consider him anti-American as well..

[RHINO369]

Just because your bible says something doesn't make it true, nor should it guide our society.

[Mr. Brightside]

Neither David Limbaugh (nor Ann Coulter) have ever advocated killing homosexuals and abotionists like you claim is "demanded" of us.

Don't hide behind conservative authors and pretend you are one. You are not a conservative.

Killing people because of their religion (or lack thereof) is clearly anti-American.

Go all the way back to 1776 and NAME ONE American court or one American state that has passed a law ordering the killing of homosexuals.

[Conservative Coulter Fan]

Read the following below...then apologize for your complete ignorance about U.S. History and answer this: does this make you "anti-American" as you've suggested others are for their views on sodomy and how it shopuld be punished?

"What has been here observed . . . [the fact that the punishment fit the crime] ought to be the more clear in proportion as the crime is the more detestable, may be applied to another offence of a still deeper malignity; the infamous crime against nature committed either with man or beast. A crime which ought to be strictly and impartially proved and then as strictly and impartially punished. . . . I will not act so disagreeable part to my readers as well as myself as to dwell any longer upon a subject the very mention of which is a disgrace to human nature [sodomy]. It will be more eligible to imitate in this respect the delicacy of our English law which treats it in its very indictments as a crime not fit to be named; "peccatum illud horribile, inter christianos non nominandum" (that horrible crime not to be named among Christians). A taciturnity observed likewise by the edict of Constantius and Constans: "ubi scelus est id, quod non proficit scire, jubemus insurgere leges, armari jura gladio ultore, ut exquisitis poenis subdantur infames, qui sunt, vel qui futuri sunt, rei" (where that crime is found, which is unfit even to know, we command the law to arise armed with an avenging sword that the infamous men who are, or shall in future be guilty of it, may undergo the most severe punishments)." --Sir William Blackstone

Thomas Jefferson indicated that in his home state of Virginia, "dismemberment" of the offensive organ was the penalty for sodomy. In fact, Jefferson himself authored a bill penalizing sodomy by castration. The laws of the other states showed similar or even more severe penalties:

That the detestable and abominable vice of buggery [sodomy] . . . shall be from henceforth adjudged felony . . . and that every person being thereof convicted by verdict, confession, or outlawry [unlawful flight to avoid prosecution], shall be hanged by the neck until he or she shall be dead. NEW YORK

That if any man shall lie with mankind as he lieth with womankind, both of them have committed abomination; they both shall be put to death. CONNECTICUT

Sodomy . . . shall be punished by imprisonment at hard labour in the penitentiary during the natural life or lives of the person or persons convicted of th[is] detestable crime. GEORGIA

That if any man shall commit the crime against nature with a man or male child . . . every such offender, being duly convicted thereof in the Supreme Judicial Court, shall be punished by solitary imprisonment for such term not exceeding one year and by confinement afterwards to hard labor for such term not exceeding ten years. MAINE

That if any person or persons shall commit sodomy . . . he or they so offending or committing any of the said crimes within this province, their counsellors, aiders, comforters, and abettors, being convicted thereof as above said, shall suffer as felons. [And] shall forfeit to the Commonwealth all and singular the lands and tenements, goods and chattels, whereof he or she was seized or possessed at the time . . . at the discretion of the court passing the sentence, not exceeding ten years, in the public gaol or house of correction of the county or city in which the offence shall have been committed and be kept at such labor. PENNSYLVANIA

[T]he detestable and abominable vice of buggery [sodomy] . . . be from henceforth adjudged felony . . . and that the offenders being hereof convicted by verdict, confession, or outlawry [unlawful flight to avoid prosecution], shall suffer such pains of death and losses and penalties of their goods. SOUTH CAROLINA

That if any man lieth with mankind as he lieth with a woman, they both shall suffer death. VERMONT

America's first law book, authored by founding jurist Zephaniah Swift, communicated the popular view concerning sodomy:

This crime, tho repugnant to every sentiment of decency and delicacy, is very prevalent in corrupt and debauched countries where the low pleasures of sensuality and luxury have depraved the mind and degraded the appetite below the brutal creation. Our modest ancestors, it seems by the diction of the law, had no idea that a man would commit this crime [anal intercourse with either sex]. . . . [H]ere, by force of common law, [it is] punished with death. . . . [because of] the disgust and horror with which we treat of this abominable crime.

John David Michaelis, author of an 1814 four-volume legal work, outlined why homosexuality must be more strenuously addressed and much less tolerated than virtually any other moral vice in society:

If we reflect on the dreadful consequences of sodomy to a state, and on the extent to which this abominable vice may be secretly carried on and spread, we cannot, on the principles of sound policy, consider the punishment as too severe. For if it once begins to prevail, not only will boys be easily corrupted by adults, but also by other boys; nor will it ever cease; more especially as it must thus soon lose all its shamefulness and infamy and become fashionable and the national taste; and then . . . national weakness, for which all remedies are ineffectual, most inevitably follow; not perhaps in the very first generation, but certainly in the course of the third or fourth. . . . To these evils may be added yet another, viz. that the constitutions of those men who submit to this degradation are, if not always, yet very often, totally destroyed, though in a different way from what is the result of whoredom.

Whoever, therefore, wishes to ruin a nation, has only to get this vice introduced; for it is extremely difficult to extirpate it where it has once taken root because it can be propagated with much more secrecy . . . and when we perceive that it has once got a footing in any country, however powerful and flourishing, we may venture as politicians to predict that the foundation of its future decline is laid and that after some hundred years it will no longer be the same . . . powerful country it is at present.

No, had Hitler been killed in 1939 or 1940...plenty of German citizens knew damn well what was happening to Jews and others. The only thing moronic is how you stand up to mass murder (abortion) - you write letters....you picket death camps.

[Conservative Coulter Fan]

No...I never said this democrat is Moses...you did with the insinuating question..
