I LOVE TO RECEIVE "COMMENTS" TOO...SO SPEAK UP!!
HIS ELECTED POSITION! Louisiana Justice of the Peace Keith Bardwell epitomizes the word BIGOT, as he well displayed in refusing to marry Terrence McKay and Beth Humphrey. His explanation revolved around "any offspring" of an inter-racial couple. Of course he never backs up his assertions with statistics (as they are hard to find), as to specifically what any children from this marriage may face. All he claims is that these "future" children are sometimes NOT accepted in the families nor in society.
I look at this as a pre-emptive abortion on his part. Who the fuck is he to decide who may or may not be married? Federal law, since 1967, says otherwise - and there is no legal reason to refuse this marriage. Would he equally refuse a Jew from marrying a Gentile? Maybe even refuse to marry a fellow Southerner from marrying a New Yorker! Hey, Bardwell - you are a freaking JP, not a god!
Listen to his swaggering explanation:

Mom, there's a special phrase to describe folks with that sick attitude. Republican base.
For every 15 minutes of fame this guy has received, his kids will need 15 hours of therapy.
bad judges bad parents..good ole american values at work.
The JP - Douchebaggery at its finest.
Balloon boy's dad is a close second.
I came here from BuzzardBilly, so be gentle, k?
In some ways, I don't know what to think here - I believe everyone has their right to believe what they want ... and since he did say that it wasn't that he said they can't get married, it's just that HE wouldn't marry them, I'm almost okay with that. If he wasn't an elected official, I think I would be okay with it. Is it pigheaded? Yup. But is he entitled to his opinion? Well, yep, too. As long as he wasn't trying to block it, as distasteful as it is, it's still freedom of speech/opinion.
