A remarkably stupid thread!

If you really believe there's no difference between Bush and Clinton, then you're galactically dopey.

Bush White House, Clinton White House ... No Difference on Homosexuality

By Fred Jackson and Allie Martin
January 24, 2003

(AgapePress) - The American Family Association is accusing the Bush Administration of having a blind spot on an issue of critical importance to Christians: the homosexual movement.

AFA's accusation comes in the wake of the sudden resignation yesterday of a Christian man who had been appointed to the Presidential Advisory Panel on HIV and AIDS. Jerry Thacker, who himself has AIDS, suddenly withdrew from the panel after a Washington Post story, which quoted him as depicting the homosexual lifestyle as "sinful," that homosexuality is a major cause of the AIDS crisis, and that people can be delivered from homosexuality through faith in Christ.

Within hours, presidential spokesman Ari Fleisher publicly condemned Thacker, saying his views are "far, far removed from what the president believes," that the president has a "totally opposite view," and that Bush did not choose Thacker personally.

AFA chairman and founder Don Wildmon says while he was disappointed in the turn of events, he was more surprised at how quickly they happened.

"The homosexuals raised an objection, and Mr. Thacker was gone -- and that really surprised me," he says. "I was surprised by the strong comments from the White House saying the president did not share any of the views that Mr. Thacker holds."

Wildmon says he is tired of the apparent powerful influence exercised on the president by the Log Cabin Republicans, a homosexual lobby group -- and is concerned the Thacker incident could be a signal that the Administration may cave in to demands for pro-homosexual legislation. The White House, he says, is misguided in its attempts to appease homosexuals.

"I think Mr. Bush is trying his best to accommodate the homosexual community," Wildmon says, "but he's not going to accommodate them. They're not going to help him get re-elected. I think this is extremely poor politics. He is alienating a lot of people in the Christian community."

Wildmon says for most pro-family groups, the rise of homosexual radicalism is just as much a concern as abortion. Yet, he says, when it comes to homosexuality, the Bush Administration refuses to meet with pro-family leaders to discuss their concerns. Wildmon believes that on the issue of homosexuality, President Bush's views are no different than those of former President Bill Clinton.

Thacker was infected with the HIV virus after his wife contracted it through a blood transfusion she received while giving birth to their daughter, who is also HIV positive.

To all: I am new to Free Republic so bear with me if I respond and make post to the wrong person.

Tony, you don't say what it is that the president has done that convinces you he's doing something INAPPROPRIATE regarding policy toward homosexuals.

1. I think it's terrible that homosexuals, and particularly men who have sex with men, are daily killing themselves via their behavior.

2. Despite that they are still citizens of the U.S. and endowed with all the rights thereof AS ADEQUATELY INTERPRETED by appropriate legal bodies.

3. It is ALSO immoral to deprive anyone of life, liberty, property without due process.

Yeah - the gays are definately the most important thing for the President of the United States to be spending time on right now.

I am happy to have a president with priorities in the right order.

Utter nonsense.

[George W. Bush]

If this story is false I will not do what I have said. If I get no response I will take it to mean your guilty.

Dear President Bush,

Have you stopped beating your wife yet?

If you don't answer, I'll know you're guilty.

Cordially,
   The Right Wing

Well, you shouldn't expect them to answer, even via email. It won't happen. Period. Regardless of their actual position, any answer they gave to you would be handing ammo to you or to the pro-sodomite factions. So they aren't going to answer you. If the subject comes up for discussion publicly, they want to control every facet and use the usual imperial props to press their position to the public.

Also, you should correct your spelling, grammar and punctuation or they'll conclude they're dealing with an elementary student from a public school. These people push paper for a living and they aren't going to worry too much about your letter as it stands.

I think the Christian site (AFA) has it about right: Bush didn't know about his appointee and would never have appointed him had he known that he held anything remotely close to traditional Christian moral views on the topic of sodomy.

The appointee's problem is that he told the truth. It is a "gay plague". It's just becoming illegal to tell the truth about that well-known elementary fact.

The Bush campaign spent so much money and time in hopeless California and pandering to minorities (blacks,Hispanics,sodomites) that it never did pay off at the ballot box. And they keep doing the exact same thing in office, repudiating their actual supporters while courting those who will never vote for them anyway. This is not a mistake. It's quite deliberate policy.

I hadn't planned to vote Bush in 2000 but changed my mind on the day of the election when it became clear the Demoncrats were trying to steal the election.

I'm not seeing much reason to vote Republican again. I hate my RINO carpetbagger congresscritter and see only marginal differences between my two senators, one Democrat and one Republican. In '04, I'll probably vote Constitution party. They've made it clear they don't actual want or value my vote already. Maybe we backward Christian folk need to make another Bush a one-termer so the party liberals get the message.

[Ben Bolt]

Just tell me what you like about queers and what you do not like about the policy from either president ?

Have you applied to be accepted by the Log Cabin ? I guess in your state of --------------- I replied to the wrong person like you did . You are forgiven .

[Commander8]

AMEN, AMEN, AMEN, AMEN, AMEN!!!!!

I've known all olong that he is a fence straddling liar. When it comes to appeasing the sodomite lobby, there is not ONE PESO'S WORTH OF DIFFERENCE between Bush or Clinton.

NOT ONE!!!
