And If You Eat Shellfish … Get In The Handbasket and Prepare for the Trip.
Scott Esk lives in Oklahoma, is a Tea Party approved candidate, is running for House District 91 state representative, has rocks and a Bible but only and knows how to use the rocks.
On the Facebook, someone asked him about punishment for homosexuality. Stoning, maybe?
Esk responded …
Someone asked – “So just to be clear, you think we should execute homosexuals (presumably by stoning)?”
Esk responds – “I think we would be totally in the right to do it. That goes against some parts of libertarianism, I realize, and I’m largely libertarian, but ignoring as a nation things that are worthy of death is very remiss.”
Holy cow! Somebody get the rocks out of his pocket and his head.
Thanks to Sandy for the heads up.
And he’d be the one supporting a bill to outlaw Sharia Law. Oh, let’s see, stoning for adultry, cutting off hands of thieves, killing those who convert FROM Christianity to another religion. He’d fit right in with Sharia.
1Worthy. Of. Death.
Pretty sure that’s what the FSM decided about all of us: the wages of sin = worthy of death, right?
And how bout that “thou shalt not judge” thingy? Doesn’t that fit into this puzzle somewheres?
I’m thinking of some of the folks I know that this babbling fool thinks are “worthy of death” and now I’m think death is way to good for Mr. Esk.
2Thinking, my phone is allergic to Aggie grammar!
3I think we would be totally in the right to stone moron bigots like Scott Esk.
4Speaking of stones, wasn’t one handed down with “thou shalt not kill” inscribed on it?
5I’m reminded of a line from a Gerard Manley Hopkins poem “No worst, there is none…” These guys can always find a way to be worse. Imagine Annie (in Annie Get Your Gun) singing “Anything you can say, I can say worser! I can say anything worser than you!”
That’s the Tea Party. Mean and getting meaner, because instead of trying to be better than somebody else, they’re working hard on being worse. And succeeding. (It’s easier to go down than up.)
6Wonder what kind of surprises he’s hiding in his closet?
7If I’m to be a candidate for getting stoned, I want it to be in Colorado. That would be a whole lot better outcome, don’t you think? Maybe that’s what Mr. Esk had in mind. Nah.
8Looks like the hairstyle and clothing in his photo are out of date with Leviticus. I sincerely hope there are no mixed fabrics in his shirt, coat or tie.
I can’t say if Leviticus is the MOST ala carte chapter in the Bible, but it’s got to be in the top 5.
9Funny how all these self-styled “Christians” get all their ideas from the Old Testament and complete ignore the words of the one they claim to follow.
10Had to share with a gay friend in CA and hope him and his partner never go to visit Oklahoma!!
11@10:
But only those that they agree with.
Dollars to donuts that shirt of his is polyester/cotton.
Pretty clearly he cuts his beard.
What’s his position on bacon cheeseburgers?
What’s his position on interest payments?
I suspect that he would never risk crossing the banks by suggesting they shouldn’t charge interest.
Funny how these old testament rules apply only when they happen to align with one’s personal bigotries.
12Now looked here, boy! If you are such a bible thumper then you know somewhere in the old old testament there is something about killing your mother in law? Are you up for that? Or is she locked and loaded!
13Eyesoars, once upon a time I was marching in a quiet and civil way for the passage of the ERA right in front of the Republican National HQ in D.C. Some twit guy came running out and started bible versing me as to why I wasn’t at home scrubbing floors and how out of step I was with holy scripture which apparently only those parts he likes. Well, I was carrying sign on a wooden stick but I decided i wouldn’t use it in public so I told him he was even more out of step as he had mixed the fibers in his clothing! Eyesoars, I will never forget the look on his face and he did one helluva fast fade! One of the best days of my life I ever had!
14Once again those who would have us hate our neighbors, demand that we suffer fools gladly.
15I thought Jesus put an end to all that with his speech about how the one without sin can cast the first stone. I guess I was wrong.
16He’s got rocks all right…rocks in that empty brainless head. The American jihad is alive and well and living in Oklahoma.
17America guarantees all Americans inalienable rights, not just the ones whitey thinks are appropriate.
Ralph Wiggam, Jesus didn’t anticipate his faith being overrun by the moral gymnasts of 21st century right wing relativism.
They don’t sin, nope never, just boyish pranks. Ask Aqua Buddha Rand Paul. Only others sin, like buying a soft drink and skittles, thus deserving death. The Big Dog a bad dog, while Newtie, wives x?, good KKKristian. Go figure.
maggie, that was a priceless moment! We can’t knock the senseless more senseless, but we sure can use humor to stun them.
18maryelle, before “whitey” climbs up on the soapbox, he might want to have a DNA test. Remember the hater that was flummoxed to discover he was not quite as pure white as he thought?
Their mental gymnastics are amazing. People of color bad, so please someone, explain to me the numbers of “human” beached white whales absorbing cancer inducing rays to improve their skin color.
19He looks a little too much like Mephistopholes
20to be hiding behind the Good Book.
Hey, he’s just being consistent. He picks and chooses what he wants in libertarianism and bibletarianism.
21Under my faulty understanding of Sharia law, sodomy, not necessarily the condition of being gay, is punishable by the death penalty. So this is maybe worse than Sharia law.
22Oh my Lord he’s a ginger. Burn him at the stake. No one expects the Spanish Inquisition.
23”During the Spanish Inquisition (one of the fairest and justified of all inquisitions) flame colored hair was evidence that it’s owner had stolen the fire of hell and had to be burned as a witch.” Christoper O’Rielly
The proceedings of his seven-year-long divorce make interesting reading. As does his platform.
He’s a big fan of laetrile, by the way.
24@#24 – WOW!
25Oh please please please! He is just the candidate to go eat pot brownie candy bars with MoDo! Or, maybe he should just scrape up his dinners from dumpsters…it won’t matter, as the FDA isn’t involved. Every time I think I have probably heard the lowest possible sewer speech from some elected official or candidate, someone surfaces in a red state that is simply, well, that needs to be classed as nonhuman. This guy should go live in a cave where he influences nobody, remains “pure” and dies an early death all alone. I bet the kids were mean to him when he was a kid. Made him what he is today: mean and disgusting. Don’t waste your time feeling empathetic. He isn’t worth a plug nickel.
26I love these discussions.
27All of the above, and a Bircher, too!

28Isn’t it amazing how these Kristains pick one or two versese of the OLD Testament for their religion and laws, but totally ignore the words of Jesus?
29While you’re getting the rocks out of his head and pocket, be sure to get the Bible out of his hand, because he clearly doesn’t know how to use it.
Mean AND stupid – nasty combination.
30Esk is not a libertarian. He’s a loonytarian. There is some overlap, but he’s an extreme case.
31There seems to be a spectrum of opinion on homosexuals in the Republican ranks now. Eww Esk suggests stoning, Rick Perry thinks it’s merely a disorder, like alcoholism, that should be resisted http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/perry-sees-link-between-alcoholism-homosexuality/2014/06/12/ebb952a0-f1fe-11e3-b140-bd7309109588_story.html?hpid=z5
32Methinks they’re both wrong.
Ralph Wiggam,you beat me to the comment about Jesus saying the one without sin should cast the first stone, which I was thinking as I read the post.
Unfortunately he will probably get votes from his kindred spirits. Like the candidates at a recent forum who were asked if storm shelters should be mandatory for schools. This after school children were killed in the Moore tornado last year because their school didn’t have a shelter. The Republicans said it was a local issue.
There are intelligent, caring people in Oklahoma, but unfortunately the other kind too. And they vote!
33#24: “I am against the government interfering in any way with an adult citizen’s decision as to what he puts in his body….”
Shouldn’t that include (look away, mama) parts of other people’s bodies?
34I’m guessing that he is the type of parent to “spare the rod, spoil the child” who beats the xtian into his children! No wonder his wife divorced him and required supervised visits. This type of xtian is the reason there are so many screwed up people in our society. One does not beat a child to teach them. One models correct behavior and expects the same from the child with consequences such as grounding, loss of privileges for a specific period of time, etc.
It is only one step from beating a defenseless child to stoning a person to death. These biblical types should never have any power over another. Sorry for the rant, but I get so upset when one person feels they have the right to do what they wish to others based on their skewed interpretation of the bible/religion. Heaven help us all if these people can determine our lives in any way at all!
35His kind are why this ol’ lesbian owns several firearms.
