Our Very Own ISIS in Iowa

On Friday, three Republican presidential candidates — Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee — attended an event in Des Moines, Iowa, hosted by a controversial Colorado pastor who has frequently advocated against gay people, including that the government should put them to death.

The event, dubbed the National Religious Liberties Conference, was hosted by pastor Kevin Swanson, who delivered a fiery speech in which he said Biblical law calls for "homosexuals" to be executed.

"Yes, Leviticus 20:13 calls for the death penalty for homosexuals," he said. Swanson said he was "willing to go to jail for standing on the truth of the word of God."

not a bad idea as jail causes homosexuality, as we know from Ben Carson. Then we will be able to execute him as he would want per Leviticus 20:13!

"Wenn jemand bei einem Knaben schläft wie bei seinem Weibe..."

(3. Buch Mose, 20,13)

"Knabe" is an archaic term for "boy".

So this translation by Martin Luther relates rather to child abuse. However, a pretty bloodthirsty verse.

Republicans are a much more dangerous threat to this country than ISIS could ever dream to be.

ISIS is, in fact, Dubya's and the NeoCon's gift to the world.

I am sorry - but I think this goes too far. ISIS wants to rule the world by a Califate and is ready to kill millions of people in order to achieve this goal.

Republicans are, as far as I know, American people in a state of confusion, politically and socially, therefore in a way dangerous for sure, but I can't see them as mass murderers trying to conquer the world.

Even as a means of ironic exaggeration, comparing Reps with ISIS is in my opinion inappropriate.

The reason I see the Republicans as a greater danger to this country is that ISIS hasn't got a snowball's chance in Hell of accomplishing their agenda in the U.S.

Republicans on the other hand have got a damn good chance of accomplishing theirs.
