Anti-LGBT pundit Scott Lively argues in a column today that the only way to stop the legalization of gay marriage is to form an “angry mob” that will take to “the streets, pitchforks and torches held aloft, ready to tear down Frankenstein’s castle with their bare hands if need be.”
“The only way to deter the elites is with the threat of the mob,” Lively writes in a piece posted in the right-wing outlets BarbWire and WorldNetDaily. “They need to see the pitchforks and torches to know they’ve gone too far and need to back down. That’s where we are today in America. The elites want to eliminate the natural family to create a better class of serfs: state-bred children for the factories and the battlefield — easier to control, dulled by drugs and sexual promiscuity — and bread and circuses.”
Calling for liberals and conservatives to unite behind opposition to gay rights, he warns that marriage equality is akin to GMO foods or medication that is “destroying bodies” with “poisonous ‘remedies.’”

So Scotty is against the hybrid corn he's eaten for decades and is an anti-vaccination nut too. Go figure.
Wow, Lively's getting a little out-loud, out-proud, & most importantly out-of-the-closet with his witch-burning rhetoric nowadays. Yeah, that's working real well in Uganda, isn't it, Scotty?

Is Scotty an anti-vaxxer too? Why doesn't that surprise me?
There is no hope for a man who takes pride in being part of an ignorant, hateful mob.
And actually a mob of unruly, angry idiots doesn't really scare a government backed by the most powerful military on the planet. You go ahead and just try, though. Worst case scenario, you spend the rest of your life in prison. Best case scenario, the local population experiences a rise in net IQ proportional to a loss in numbers.

It's good to see they're following Jesus' example. Go in with a mob, take out the leader, disperse the followers, drag the leader to the city and have him painfully and publically tortured and executed. Right!
Oh, wait, wasn't it the other way around?

...because that worked out sooooooo well the last time W.A.S.P.s exhibited those same attitudes, didn't it?! [/Jim Crow] [/hyper-sarcasm]
Why do I get the feeling that Scott is talking about forming an angry mob with actual pitchforks and torches? Could it be because conservatives are so backwards and behind the times?
And what does he expect this mob of about 50 people or so to accomplish? I have a feeling even if he actually organized a protest, it would be like another "Operation American Spring" where the organizers claimed that 30 million people would show up, but ended up with a crowd of about 100.
In some mysterious fashion, states and countries that have legalized same sex marriage are still there. None of them, as far as I can tell, have dropped off the map, been consumed by fire, or have demons actively patrolling the streets to snatch children for dinner. And NOW you want pitchfork-wielding mobs to rampage through the streets to "save" the Fundistan states from the iniquity of love......
See what you've done? All hell will reign in the streets where same sex marriage is currently forbidden, while peace exists in marriage-equality places which is JUST THE OPPOSITE of your desired outcome. You, Scott, are an unmitigated asshole.

Give up writing fiction. You, sir, are no Aldous Huxley and this is not the reality version of Brave New World .
Like it or not, things change. People and societies change. Attitudes change. If you want to keep up, you'll have to change too.
Get on with it and stop being such a holier-than-thou fuckwit or fade into obscurity.

More evidence that moonbats are not the only cranks who believe bullshit about GMOs.
"Calling for liberals and conservatives to unite behind opposition to gay rights, he warns that marriage equality is akin to GMO foods or medication that is “destroying bodies” with “poisonous remedies.’”"
He's right for the wrong reason. Marriage equality is like GMO foods and vaccines in that all three have lies spewed about them by people who have no clue what they are talking about and just make crap up.
The "elites" don't want to eliminate anything, numbskull! They just want more people to be able to enjoy the delights of marriage and family.
Why would the state take the cost of breeding serfs for factories and the battlefield, when redneck trailer-park fundies breed all the serfs they could need, and then some... And they come pre-dulled by drugs and sexual promiscuity and bread and circuses.
Come on Scott, you're getting desperate now. As any hopes of pushing your agenda through democratic discourse in parliament is fading, mob rule and violence is the only card you seemingly have left. Only, the public opinion is turning and the likelihood of initiating a sufficiently sized protest movement (*fnark*) against LGBT rights is ever decreasing. Woe is you.
"The only way to deter the elites is with the threat of the mob,"
So when are you storming the Bush compound now?
"Elites." You keep using that word....
And yet I bet Scott considers himself a patriot and defender of the US constitution. The cognitive dissonance is strong in this one!
@Old Viking:
Why not, it sometimes works for my nephew. Mind you, he is only 20 months old, so he has an excuse and will grow out of it. Scott on the other hand

They're coming for you Scotty.

Come with your mobs. The funny thing about the walking contradiction that I am, is that I'm a leftist pansexual pagan with a metric fuckton of knives and guns, and I've got a bullet for every one of you disgusting motherfuckers. Dare you to get in the way of me and who I love.
@Unbeliever
Yay! We can be our own little team! I’ll be the CQC specialist, you can be the sharpshooter, and Slaanesh can be the, uhhh, what’s your fancy dear? What niche do you want to fill?

I'll match Scottys torches and raise him a flamethrower.
@Slaanesh
You are henceforth the demo specialist. Oooh, we can be Team Fortress characters! Spak’ll be pyro, I’ll be spy, you’ll be heavy, and Unbeliever can be...well... I dunno. I don’t know much about Team Fortress to be honest.
Next we’ll have to discuss equipment.
Guns, ammo, water, food, emergency medical stuff. That should just about cover it.
Granted, we won't need to last that long - just until the police / National Guard shows up.
@tfaddict, @Unbeliever, @Slaanesh
I'll be a public speaker. I kno how to talk in a lofty manner that will wow people.
"easier to control, dulled by drugs and sexual promiscuity
and bread and circuses.”
Written while watching WWE Smackdown, of course.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
