Quienes es mas macho, Jim Kolbe o Vicente Fox?

Of course they do. They're "Republicans" so that they can decay the platform from within, leaving Americans with two "choices" -- one party, with two labels.
Quienes es mas macho, Jim Kolbe o Vicente Fox?
It is dismaying to watch so few people stand up to the "I was born this way" fallacy.
It has zero basis for anything, for one simple reason. Even if they were "born that way", so what?
So what!
If "I was born this way" becomes grounds for license, then heaven help us, because it has been demonstrated that other "behaviors" do have something of a genetic basis.
Do we really want to live in a "culture" where pederasts and pathologically violent individuals are given a pass, because "they were born that way"?
If not, then there is no basis for "I was born this way" being a rationale for passing homosexual-favorable legislation. And if it is grounds for giving homosexuals a pass, then it's also grounds for giving all "I was born this way" cases a pass.
You can't have it both ways. Logic simply doesn't get any simpler than this.
It's really quite simple when you think about it.
The Democrats are the party of the left. They advocate every left of center cause, the more radical left, the more vociferous their support.
The Republicans, on the other hand, are lectured on how they have to open "the big tent".
In other words, we have one party that takes a position, and stands its ground, and another party, which, we're told, needs to flee it's position, and embrace the positions advocated by the other party.
What's wrong with this picture?
Everything.
But what's worst, is having some of those lectures coming from within our own putative ranks.
Where are the calls for the Democrats to open "the big tent"? Where are the calls for them to appeal to pro-life, pro-Constitution, pro-Second Amendment, pro-conservative causes?
The game is rigged, and The Stupid Party lives up to its moniker by buying into a rigged game.
Why the hell can't won't the Republican party grow even half the cohones the Democrats proudly wave in our faces?
Why are we dominated by pathetice denizens of the country club, driven by a fear of offending those who've committed to our destruction?
I have little hope for the future of the Republican Party, other than as a "mee-tooo!" knock-off of the Democrats.
Anyone want to prove me wrong?
Please, I'd welcome it.
See P.T. Barnum for the answer.
Because it's always cheaper to buy used.
If they can take the putative conservative party (the party that supposedly embraces conservative values) and erode it from within, they not only get a working viable party on the cheap, but, they knock a major opponent out of the ring at the same time.
BTW, there really aren't too many true "moderates". The tag mainly applies to those who want to push liberal "values", but softly.
People need to stop calling it marriage, it will never be, the word has a meaning. Homosexual couples need to find another word besides marriage.
Bingo. The word has a meaning. It's used in other contexts too, such as cooking, where we speak of different foods "marrying" as they simmer. The flavors mix and blend, forming a new flavor that's different from the mere sum of the components.
You can't "mix" or "blend" two same foodstuffs.
Basically, we're watching the bastardization of a civilization. Western civilization is imploding. For real.
When the job is done, what we're left with won't bear any recognizable resemblance to what the founders tried to leave us.
I know that there are a great number of conservatives out there who are not voting. I know that there are a number of disenfranchised people out there who are simply looking for some leadership to lead them back to the political process, to empower them, to actually win a few for the conservative cause.
If you believe one of the leaders of my church, and I do believe him, we are no long slouching towards Gomorrah, we are there. Read this. (Scroll to "Morally Mixed up World" near the end.)
But, as another leader of my church stated, and this is one of my political anchors:
"The fight for freedom is God's fight. Freedom is an eternal law of God. Men cannot break it with impunity, but can only break themselves upon it. When a man stands for freedom, he stands for God. As long as he stands for freedom, he stands with God. And were he to stand alone, he would still stand with God. Any man will be eternally vindicated and rewarded for his stand for freedom." - Ezra Taft Benson
So, even if the battle is lost, the cause is just, and I will continue to fight no matter what. The victory is to be gained and rewarded beyond this world. Written history may state that we fought a losing battle and were ultimately defeated. But the history written in the "Book of Life" will read otherwise.
A state legislature (Idaho?) tried to legislate the value of pi once as 3.2 because it is easier to learn and use. This clown sounds just as ridiculous. Lots of things may be legislated, including "pseudo marriage". Somehow I fear that that will never be enough. The perverts and the deviants want the label. That word will validate what they do and make it normal. Nothing else will, even if every privilege, right and benefit of marriage is made available to them. Their pathology will never allow them rest until they can "feel" that they are normal.
Might as well legislate that vasectomies and hysterectomies no longer exist: henceforth we shall have only "normalizing". Well, better assign a full time trooper to keep me in line because my language can never allow using "marriage" to apply to a same-sex couple. If they want to attach a cape and call themselves "superman" let them knock themselves out.
I refuse to play. An no law can make me.
Is that clear enough?
The "right" to feel normal. And as far as I'm concerned, they will never have it, since fictitious "rights" are a sop only to a sick mind.
There. I fixed it for you.
What is truly remarkable is that in this instance, the tiny minority has that kind of influence over 98% of the population. It is hard to imagine that level of ignorance and inability to weigh causes and consequences among presumed adults.
Of course, feel free to continue, but expect zero positive effect.
Man, a reasoning animal with an intellect, should be able to arrive at the proper rules of behavior without the mindless cutting and pasting of monkeys. It is irritating to see this strategy when it is obvious that any value the argument has is useless to perverts impervious to matters of faith. It just gives them ammunition against us.
You bigot.

It's worse than lost. We're so far gone that those who voice these concerns, and call for the type of leadership you describe, are insulted, demeanded, taunted, ridiculed, and ostracized using a variety of despicable tactics.
That it happens right here on a daily basis is proof positive that the line of no return has been crossed, and the "winners" are boldly scampering toward the ribbon.
Part of me wants to gloat, and say, "Well, won't they be surprised when the take that first sip from the winner's cup," but I'm too busy trying not to think of what faces this country.
