He also thinks that gay people should be put to death by stoning. And he isn’t doing much to hide the fact that he believes gay people deserve to be murdered, either. Rob Morris, who runs a local political website, discovered Esk’s views about gay people while researching each of the candidates running this year. “This is the first time I’ve ever come across an Oklahoman with this kind of fringe attitude,” he told KFOR News Channel Morris found an exchange on Esk’s Facebook page from last summer in which Esk was asked if he believed gay people should be executed, “presumably by stoning.” Esk responded: “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.” http://www.salon.com/2014/06/11/oklahoma_goper_we_would_be_totally_in_the_right_if_the_state_started_executing_gay_people/ Some of these Ultra Christians and Republicans are really crazy, and dangerous.

If you read the bible one of the things attributed to Jesus is that when asked about stoning a woman who supposedly committed a sin he replied let the first person without sin cast the first stone.

How do they even get a voice in an established political party? Sadly, there is an element of our society that shares their radical views.
