Alan Keyes on Mary Cheney

Homophobia , • Wearisome Bedfellows

American moral theologian and politician manquι Alan Keyes has a nifty way of reducing things to … well, lets say he just reduces things.

I'm not mad about Mary Cheney (though I am mad at her) but the learned "I'm just a slave to logic" Keyes almost makes me feel sympathetic when he comes out with this trenchant zinger:

After Keyes told the hosts that homosexuality is "selfish hedonism," he was asked whether Mary Cheney is a "selfish hedonist."

"Of course she is," Keyes replied. "That goes by definition. Of course she is."

What is wrong with selfish hedonism anyway?
