About political theorems, Joe the Plumber is teeming with a lot of news:*

People don’t understand the dictionary–it’s called queer. Queer means strange and unusual. It’s not like a slur, like you would call a white person a honky or something like that. You know, God is pretty explicit in what we’re supposed to do–what man and woman are for. Now, at the same time, we’re supposed to love everybody and accept people, and preach against the sins. I’ve had some friends that are actually homosexual. And, I mean, they know where I stand, and they know that I wouldn’t have them anywhere near my children. But at the same time, they’re people, and they’re going to do their thing.

Don’t you just love the confident, completely fact-free way that Joe the Fake Plumber demonstrates his limitless ignorance?

At this point, I’ve forgotten why conservative bigots are uncomfortable with The Gays around their children… Is it because of some misplaced fear of molestation or do they think that The Gays exude some kind of gay pixie dust that might spontaneously cause their kids to sing Judy Garland songs?

Trying to understand the primitive conservative mind is truly painful…
