Ever the zealot, Walker still backs same-sex marriage bans

The Madison Capital Times reports that Walker told his rabid Republican right-wing base in Iowa he wants the states to be free to ban same sex marriages - - and even supports an amendment to the US constitution on the matter to basically nullify a string of federal court rulings to the contrary.

No wonder that in Wisconsin, two of the same plaintiffs who successfully overturned the state's discriminatory ban on same-sex marriages which Walker had supported has had to return to court to have both their names on their child's birth certificate.

Walker and allies here just can't concede defeat and are willing to put everyday citizens through the wringer purely for ideological spite.

And in his newly-adopted state of Iowa, where Walker speaks far more openly about his extremist views than he did when running for re-election in Wisconsin, he expanded yesterday also that God is telling him to run for President, The Cap Times reported:  

Reading a passage from the devotional book "Jesus Calling," Walker told the crowd about his decision to run for governor in 2010 — something he and his wife, Tonette, decided through discussion and prayer. 

Walker has previously said he doesn't believe he should run for president because it's the "next logical step" in his career. Rather, he has said, it should be because he feels called to it.

"The best way to minister is to accept God's calling when you least expect it," Walker said. "We felt it was a calling to get in that election. We felt we were called to do the right thing, so we worried more about the next generation than we did the next election."

I'd say, beware of politicians - - especially those claiming Divine Guidance - - who want the government to legalize discrimination against some classes and groups.
