Hard for me to call someone like that "good". He's a bigot POS.
I suppose I should preface by saying I don't like him and think he would be a poor presence in the White House.
However, denying someone a single right isn't the same as suggesting they shouldn't have human rights as a whole. Just for the purpose of accuracy, he doesn't advocate mass extermination or anything.
Still, as a candidate, his brand of social policy dances between authoritarian and just stupid.

If a person wants to use their PERSONAL belief as the foundation of their legislation while holding a public office, so countless people can be affected by their ability to pick and choose which verses in their holy book are deserving of becoming law, they deserve failure.
From a cultural shaming standpoint, I wouldn't even have an issue with him being called out to defend the religious views he holds. If he feels so strongly about other people acting in accordance with them, surely he knows why he holds them, right?

The "retarded" part is actually ironic, given the topic. Wasn't he the one who passed a law involving fetuses that would be born with disabilities?
