For me, the crux of this issue is not gay marriage. I do not like gay bashing. Any gay person is someone’s son or daughter and is a child of God. The bashing that goes on gives the other side ample justification for calling us haters. Expressing a view as Mr. Cathy did was not gay bashing and Christians should follow that example. That being said, the Chick-Fil-A phenomenon is the tip of the iceberg. What’s underneath is a huge mass of anger and frustration at liberals who circumvent the will of the people by judicial activism and executive fiat. This has been going on for decades. Look at all the referendums in various states that are overturned by courts; at Florida 2000; Kelo; Obamacare; TARP; Porkulus; Frank/Dodd and subprime mortgages; out of control spending; lack of border controls; on and on. We go to the ballot box with the hope and trust that we live in a representative Republic, yet every time we turn around, we are met with the tyranny of the minority. These are the issues we should carry into November because they are the winning issues at the top of voters’ concerns.Post of the day Randita, thank you, Copy Paste it and start a thread w/ it. with a title....
Oh, you forgot the GM mess and the abrogation of contract law! :-)... Just kidding :-).
I would do as you suggest, except I'm not in the mood to get mercilessly zotted today (regarding the first part of my post).
Just as I did during the GOP primary, I'm about to take a haitus from FR. The group think, rudeness, and crudeness are going way beyond the pale. Last night, I actually read (paraphrasing) "if you don't think gays are the personification of Satan himself, you're not a Christian". How's that for showing Christian love and forgiveness? Matt. 7:5
