Well, I wouldn’t say that 3 years is quite a few years. A few years, sure, but I wouldn’t say quite a few. It’s not even been a full presidential term yet. If he really is just courting conservatives to make common cause against his enemy Obama, then I’m not opposed to that. However, until there is another Democrat primary, I don’t think we would know that is what he is doing unless he tips his hat.
As for Horowitz, to be honest I didn’t even know he was homosexual. I like his work on academic freedom, and it’s great when he denounces the radicals and the commies. He seems pretty sincere to me.
For the record, I have no problem with gays who are conservative. The more votes, the better. However, I don’t think we should accept an promote homosexuals in leading roles in the party or the movement, any more than we would accept an unrepentant pervert of the heterosexual variety. If it’s something they keep to themselves in their private lives and don’t make an issue about it, fine. If they make it the focal point of their lives and make sure that everyone knows their nasty habits, then hell yes I am going to judge them on their lack of decorum and respectability.
Sigh. Horowitz is NOT homosexual. I meant that he had a fairly quick turnaround from radical to conservative.
