Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Thursday, October 15, 2009

A Louisiana justice of the peace said he refused to issue a marriage license to an interracial couple out of concern for any children the couple might have.

Keith Bardwell, justice of the peace in Tangipahoa Parish, says it is his experience that most interracial marriages do not last long.

Neither Bardwell nor the couple immediately returned phone calls from The Associated Press. But Bardwell told the Daily Star of Hammond that he was not a racist.

"But Bardwell told the Daily Star of Hammond that he was not a racist."

Good thing he cleared that up.

"Bardwell said he has discussed the topic with blacks and whites, along with witnessing some interracial marriages. He came to the conclusion that most of black society does not readily accept offspring of such relationships, and neither does white society, he said."

When did he discuss the topic with people? 1974?

"I don't do interracial marriages because I don't want to put children in a situation they didn't bring on themselves," Bardwell said. "In my heart, I feel the children will later suffer."

It is clear now what is behind this. He thinks this couple has to be married to have children together. He's just trying to stop another inter-racial potential President from being born.

Must not have heard of the Loving case.

"Must not have heard of the Loving case."

Hey, Larry, that was only 42 years ago. Give that cracker in Tangipahoa Parish a little time, will ya?

Ignorance abounds.

Louisiana is the most horrible place on earth. Serves this couple right for choosing to live there. Get in a car, go any direction for 200 miles (except South, obviously), and start a new life. Your eventual kids will thank you.

"out of concern for any children the couple might have."

One half-negro president is enough for the Klan, eh?

"But Bardwell told the Daily Star of Hammond that he was not a racist."

He figured, hey, just bald-faced denial worked for Rush, at least with the rightwing nuts on the DR.

The Judge who performed my ceremony was a prominent conservative republican on eastern long island. I only spoke to him a couple of times on the phone. When my wife and I showed up we laughed to ourselves as we saw his eyes pop out of his head just a little bit.

He behaved himself though and since we had written the ceremony ourselves, he had to stick to the script. He got the hell out of there as soon as he could afterward.

A "half-white" president obviously isn't enough for lot of Whities out there either.

says it is his experience that most interracial marriages do not last long.

From that rationale almost all of Hollywood, Flush Rimjob and Nutty Newty should be denied marriage licenses.
