Conservative and former diplomat Alan
Lee Keyes argues that legalizing gay marriage will lead to a
Communist regime and “the murder of the masses.”
Keyes, whose daughter is gay, made his
comments during an interview with Stan Solomon.
“The aim is not compassion for
homosexuals, respect for homosexuals and all of this,” Keyes
said. “The aim in the mind of these hardheaded, calculating,
leftist, Communist, totalitarians is to destroy the family and to
establish the notion that once you have seized power there is no
limit what you can do.”
“If you want to tolerate abuses then
those abuses can be imposed upon the people. Once you establish
that, the abuses are then not going to be confined to egregious
outrages like this; those abuses are going to be committed against
the whole society and they will in the end include the murder of the
masses as has occurred in all Communist regimes that existed. That
includes as well the expropriation of all property because if you
don't respect the primordial God-endowed belongings that are
associated with family life, then why on Earth would you be
constrained to respect any other form of human property claim.”

Commenting on Keyes' remarks, David
Pakman simply said: “These are the rantings of a madman.”
