Kerry has been endorsed by the Film Actor's Guild.
Kerry doesn't get it. Love the sinner, hate the sin.
This writer is guilty of the same bigotry as Kerry: assuming that Evangelical Christians are bigots, but put politics first. That's a false analysis of their reaction. Evangelical Christians are by and large decent people who don't appreciate gay-baiting.
There's something about Mary...
This writer is every bit as much of an anti-Christian bigot as Kerry is. There is nothing new, strange, unprincipled or "nuanced" about the notion "hate the sin, love the sinner."
"Mary Cheney may be gay, but it turns out there are worse things. At least she isn't a Democrat."
Perhaps Christians simply understand that while homosexuality may be a sin, the Democrats are agents of the author of sin, himself.
A woman called the Howie Carr show about this and noted that the subject had already come up in the 2000 election. She said she was an Evangelical, and if Kerry was trying to influence Evangelical voters, "Does he think we're all stupid?"
Howie Carr: "Do you want the short answer? YES!"
Never has any group been so badly misjudged as Christian voters. No Christian would judge Cheney because he had a lesbian daughter. In fact, they wouldn't judge her either. Kerry's presumption he was going to take Christian votes from Bush with that little trick just shows how completely out of touch he is with non-Mass elitists. In Kerry's world if you aint rich you ain't worth nuthin.
Hopefully it doesn't "fire in his back". I don't think Theresa would be very happy about that.
Bump!
It's about free will. God gave us free will, Kerry trod all over that in Mary Cheney's case. If she had wanted the issue made public, on a worldwide stage, it was her choice to do so, not Mr. Kerry's and not Mr. Edwards'. This is why the right to privacy was placed in our Bill of Rights, and considered as so important by the Founding Fathers of this nation. If God gave us free will, we have no right to mess with any person's free will...or privacy... in such a fashion. John-John not only violated her God-given rights, they violated her Constitutional rights.
The crassnes of the act of doing such a thing is very telling on it's own. It reveals the characters of the candidates and of their politics. Those politics apparently care little for other's privacy, nor for The Constitution.
Prime Minister Sharon, if you're available, we'd appreciate some help...

"THIS IS NOT A GOOD MAN" 
COPYRIGHT MIA T 2004 |
Too bad the author makes an analogy between voting for a baby-killer, which IS a sin, and voting for a man whose daughter is a lesbian, which is NOT a sin.
Cheney has been veep for four years. His daughter's lifestyle has had zero impact on his governance.
Zero. Nada. Nilch.
If Kerry had read a bit more carefully, he'd have observed that there's no specific prohibition against female homosexuality in the Bible.
Hate the sin; love the sinner.
Just another example of the Unintended Consequences of the Liberal Doo Gooders.
