A big part of this, is that leftists are willing to sacrifice impurities for a greater long run gain.

Some conservatives won't work with "freaks" or anyone with whom they're not in 75% alignment.

That limits collaboration to build a massive coalition, and thus liberty withers.

Let's take this club in Colorado....which is a similar tragedy to the Orlando shooting in 2016.

Conservatives should be arming the gays, expanding the club of 2nd Amendment adherents, and halting fruitless gun controls.

The essence of this coalition is embodied in this picture.

However, many times when I posted this pic, fellow FReepers basically said "gays are the enemy" and they'd never work with them.

Now, I totally understand not wanting to sanction sex outside of marriage...that's a violation of a Commandments. And I get that some guys are afraid that they'll get cooties if they interact with gays. Or, worse yet, someone may think THEY are gay.

But Jesus interacted with tax collectors, adulteresses, and the like. He CONVERTED them. Now, that didn't always happen, but exposing statist-leaning people to freedom without disdain dripping from ones lips, can help the cause.

Naaahhhh..not with THEM.

So this awesome potential to expand liberty, and maybe get a few people on the Road to Damascus, is rarely experienced.

I never saw a movement shrink itself to glory. But I guess our side will keep trying, while leftist folks grow in numbers.

False equivalence and comparisons.

You think God’s going to be fine with conservatives collaborating with homosexuals who would not give up left-wing principles? It’s because of our sins as they are that we are being cursed with leftists in high places of power. Only God has the power of conversion, and Jesus told His church to avoid the very people you are talking about.
