NEAL HORSLEY

The quotation is noteworthy only because of the fact the subject of sex with animals is never discussed by politicians and certainly not during a political campaign, and this is the only case known where a political candidate admitted something that is actually quite common in rural farm and ranch areas but generally considered sinful and perversion in most circles.

This is an example of a twisted kind of political logic that says that if there are law breakers who don't like legal behavior of others and will therefore commit violent crimes if they continue to act legally, the law should be changed to make the behavior illegal so they criminals and murderers will not be so angry. However, there are few people who actually believe this. An ironic thing about this man is that his rabid opposition to abortion is based on his interpretation of the Bible (Old Testament) which never mentions abortion as a crime. (The Early Hebrews and Christians practiced abortion and saw no Biblical stricture against it.) However, he claims that the Biblical crime of bestiality—punishable by death—should be normalized. See {583375} for an example of this hypocrisy.
