Oliver North: Conservatives should fight against marriage equality like they fought slavery

To be honest, it's hard to understand what Oliver North is really saying.

As one in a long grey line of conservatives throwing red meat to their base at CPAC, Ollie spoke today saying that the GOP must remain firm in working to ban marriage equality and abortion rights just as abolitionists in the 1800s fought to end slavery, warning that “if we as conservatives cease to be a place where people of faith and those who believe in strong moral values can come, we will cease to be a political force in America.”

So fighting against equal rights for the gays is like fighting for freedom for slaves...?  SRSLY.

You do remember this is the man who diverted proceeds from the sales of US weapons to support the Contra rebel groups in Nicaragua. You'll also remember that was illegal.
