But that is, at least officially, part of the reason why he and Barber <a href="http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/barber-staver-want-see-russian-anti-gay-laws-right-here-united-states" rel="nofollow">want to see Russian anti-gay laws in the US</a>.

Such ungodly immorality is clearly unacceptable.<br /><br />And <a href="http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/barber-staver-obama-doesnt-america-and-working-weaken-it" rel="nofollow">this one</a>!
