Because of his comments about how the American contractors in Falluja deserved to be hanged, on my own site, I refer to DailyKos as "He-who-must-not-be-linked"...but Christian's site can, especially when it pertains to gay issues.
ScottMaui reports on comments by Robb Finberg, a Pastor for the Christian Fellowship Church, Republican running for the Hawaii State Senate:
Finberg was interviewed by Forrest Bradford, who has a show called Religious Phonies on local cable access channel AKAKU.After explaining his creationist views of history's timeline and how gays don't actually exist, Finberg was asked: "If there was a law that supported the execution of people found guilty of performing homosexual acts, would you support that law?"
After stating "Unfortunately, nearly 300,000 Americans have suffered the death penalty as a result of homosexual activity," Finberg answered, "Yes, if it were the law of the land. Yes."
It is hard, even for me, to say that, well, if something were the law of the land, then it should be enforced. For example, abortion is legal, and even though I hate to see one human being die, it is the law of the land.
Perhaps this is a concerted effort, now that polls show Hawaii as a swing state, to cast President Bush as a moderate...compared to these guys, he seems like a Massachussets liberal.
