Inclusiveness has its limits.
The Palm Beach County chapter of the gay Log Cabin Republicans learned that lesson this month when it was excommunicated by the national gay Republican organization.
he local club's heresy? Endorsing the reelection of President Bush.
The board of the national Log Cabin Republicans, displeased with Bush's support for a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage, voted 22-2 last month to withhold its endorsement in the presidential race.
But the head of the Palm Beach County chapter, Maurice Bonamigo, is a vocal Bush supporter who said he and his 17 club members would continue to back the president.
So the national group yanked the local group's charter.

When they are willing to withold endorsement of the incumbent Republican President because he does not support their extemist agenda, it becomes obvious.
We should NOT allow them to use the Republican name. The whole "Log Cabin" name is a slap in the face to our party. They demonstrate by their nature that they have no sense of morality or decency. They should join the Democrats where morality is not considered a value.
Looks like the radical gay agenda has no bounds
These vile creatures are out of the closet now. They are no more conservatives than the Pseudo "Super/Real Conservatives". They exist to cause problems for GW and the rest of us. They are as much our enemies as the Islamofascists.
Well, which is it, their nature or their choices? By our natures, we are all sinners.
By the way, anyone who is sexually immoral--in other words, anyone who has sex with anyone who is not their husband or wife and either their husband or wife or themselves have never been divorced--is not necessarily immoral or indecent in all respects.
Finally, the only time I ever have to make this point (that an entire class of people is not uniquely or irredeemably sinful) is in discussions on gay issues on Free Republic. The tenor of anti-gay comments goes so regularly and so repeatedly off the deep end that it is depressing.
Well, thanks for proving my point.
Have the Log Cabin republicans ever really stood for a republican agenda....as far as their National level goes.
It seems that they are always angry at the Chapter level folks when the endorse a republican.
Paloma_55: "We should NOT allow them to use the Republican name."
Since when does someone have to agree with every single item on the Republican platform to be a Republican? I certainly think gay marriage is wrong, but I can also understand how a gay person could be in favor of gay marriage but also support many other goals of the Republicans. Perhaps gay conservatives simply don't believe government should be telling people how to interact with each other?
As a matter of fact, I don't support many of the big-spending programs the Republicans have passed in recent years, but that doesn't mean I'm not a Republican, does it? Like most people, I identify with the party that best matches my own personal beliefs.
I just think it's wrong to condemn someone simply because they are gay, even though I believe homosexuality is a sin. If they support most of the Republican goals, then they are Republicans, right?
The Log Cabin GOP is a one issue group. Who cares about their vote?
The Log-In-The-Cabin folks can go pound sand. Oh wait...
"Finally, the only time I ever have to make this point (that an entire class of people is not uniquely or irredeemably sinful) is in discussions on gay issues on Free Republic"
Nope, sorry, you don't HAVE to do anything of the sort. You CHOOSE to support what I consider a vile and disgusting lifestyle choice.
Don't get me wrong, I support their right to do it but I maintain my right to be disgusted by it and my opposition to their despicable attempts to subvert so many aspects of our society.

Let me or little jeremiah know if you want on or off the homosexual agenda ping list.
I would consider it reason to pause if I accused someone like myself--who was only pointing out that committing homosexual acts does not make someone therefore absolutely without morals or decency--of "supporting" homosexuality. I don't support homosexuality. I also don't support adultery or fornication. However, I was not a virgin when I married my wife, and she was a divorcee, so don't ask me to join you in your stone-throwing party.
I was just accused as such on another thread covering Alan Keyes' latest.
In general, or on Free Republic?
Probably in Canada they are.
Below is an interesting link with the Veep candidate the gays love, and his love affair with his hair:

Before gay trumpetting began, there was no need to speak the truth back at them.
Christ always came from didactic argument, educating listeners on the truth.
Now everything is the dialectic, compromising my thesis with your antithesis into some synthesis. Bull pucky! God said it, I believe it.
Anyone can say what they want though. It's a free country for a bit longer anyway.
Either, I guess.
I would consider them anywhere impolite and unnecessary.
Fine. I think that the point I was trying to make is that with regard to sexual sin, we are neck deep in it. By my own admission, according to Jesus's clear teaching in Matthew 5:32, I have become an adulterer:
But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, causes her to become an adulteress, and anyone who marries the divorced woman commits adultery.
Ours is not my wife's first marriage. I also serve on my church's board--which requires only that I not be divorced--and my wife and I happily serve the kingdom to the best of our limited ability, accountable to the Savior on judgement day. What is my point? Only that I have no right to cast a stone at anyone I consider sexually immoral. Maybe you still are without sin in that regard, though, so I won't speak for you.
