Conservative Republican appointee wants to make sex before marriage a crime

This is Conservative Republican Governor Sean Parnell's choice for appointee. Parnell took over as Governor when Sarah Palin decided she was going to bail out of her responsibilities as Governor of Alaska. Parnell is a graduate of the Pacific Lutheran University which is part of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.
This Conservative Republican appointee thinks that having sex before marriage should be a punishable crime.

JUNEAU -- Gov. Sean Parnell's appointee for the panel that nominates state judges testified Wednesday that he would like to see Alaskans prosecuted for having sex outside of marriage..............................

Paskvan: "What about premarital affairs -- should that be a crime?"

Haase: "I think that would be up to the voters certainly. If it came before (the state) as a vote, I probably would vote for it ... I can see where it would be a matter for the state to be involved with because of the spread of disease and the likelihood that it would cause violence. I can see legitimate reasons to push that as a crime."

This sounds more like I will vote this way if a measure comes before me. Don't get me wrong, I think he's an idiot. However, I don't think he's quite the zealot your headline is implying based on the article.

...where is the outrage...?

Quote from REDCELL : ...where is the outrage...?

No outrage probably because nobody thinks this would become law. But it is fun to point and laugh at how ridiculously stupid some people are and how they end up in positions like this are one of the great mysteries in life.

So then not only is this a "where is the outrage" thread, but also a violation of the "so and so said this or that ridiculous thing thread" rules.....

Additionally, the title of the thread violates the TP thread title rule. The actual title of the OP's article is Sex outside marriage should be illegal, says Parnell nominee.

Well, thats what you get from the extreme right. Thank god he isn't in the White House as a regulatory czar telling us that animals should have a legal standing in this country that would allow others to sue for monetary assets on the pets behalf. (Cass)

Someone said something craaaaaaaaaaazy!
