I am a Gay Republican but I almost never chime in on political issues. I believe in small government, which the Bush administration has not been good at, as well as low taxes and the free market. I don't believe in manmade global warming and I think environmental activism is mostly a cover for people who want to make more rules to control our lives. Social issues don't get me very excited and I know I should be more grateful to my gay forefathers for all their sacrifices, but I've never encountered homophobia in my entire life so gay rights issues just don't move me but the Bush administrations values towards gays are starting to get out of hand. Yes I supported Bush both times around and no I am not happy with the Republican congress' flagrant expansion of government spending, and I wouldn't mind if they lost their majority this year, it might kick some sense into them - you can be a conservative in principle and recognize the failures of your party in living up to those principles. (That doesn't make me any more sympathetic to the Democrats as the Republicans today are just failed conservatives while the Democrats aren't conservatives at all.) I don't bait people here but I figured it was reasonable to ask how I would be received here?
No...actually, as 'strange' as it sounds, they vote republican. While they don't entirely agree with President Bush, they see it as necessary for the U.S. to vote conservative.
Obviously, a higher level of intelligence than we are used to reading about from that sector.
Well..uh.... welcome?
Welcome to FreeRepublic.
When exactly didn't you bait people here?
Is that an admission of having signed up before under a different name and getting the boot?
What do your sexual practices have to do with anything of importance? Why is it so $#^* important to let us know you do the bone dance with Mr. Sphincter before sharing your political views?
I hope you were honest in your self-disclosure and will become an active member of the forum... you could on occasion add an interesting "diverse" viewpoint. For starts, please spell out what you mean by saying:
but the Bush administrations values towards gays are starting to get out of hand.
2:49 pm and still IBTZ.
"I don't bait people here but I figured it was reasonable to ask how I would be received here?"
Funny, but your whole posted 'article' is bait.
I don't CARE what your sexual proclivities are. I don't talk about my sex life in public; you keep quiet about yours. Just don't pretend that your lifestyle CHOICE deserves some special attention, special protection, or a re-arrangement of societal norms, and you'll be okay.
As far as I'm concerned, if you agree with my tagline, you're on the right (correct) side, politically.
Hang around and share your ideas and opinions.
Let me guess... They're both butch. (sorry)
Well, what are the odds!!! I'm a Straight DemocRAT!
If you were serious you would have kept your sexuality private. I mean what the hell does your sex life have to do with too much spending by a Republican Congress and President?
Gee, thanks for sharing.
If that's true, you have unfortunately signed up on the same day as numerous trollers from Democrat Underground. Hence you are suspect. We're still sorting...
INB4ZOT?
No way...there is no such of a thing as a "rump ranger"
Republican. Begone, and take your perversion with you.
You'll find a lot of folks here at Free Republic get their knickers in a major twist if you say one bad thing about Bush or the current administration and refuse to open themselves up for debate.
Fortunately there are many level-headed free-thinking Freepers (such as myself) who agree with you. I am not happy with Bush on most issues, and I do not find him conservative in the least bit. I do strongly support the war on terror/Iraq, but I think he has really let conservatives down on most issues, more than people are willing to admit.
