Hey cool your jets. How long have you trying to bully me by threatening a zot? A month, two months? It is sad that you are so insecure in your position that you are trying to control the information that is posted here. Conservatives have different views on this subject. You, who so virulently oppose homosexuality would be better off engaging in real debate than in deluding yourselves into thinking that everyone aggrees with you. You may hate homosexuals and their so-called “homosexual agenda” with everything you have, with all you heart, all your mind and all your soul – but hatred won’t accomplish anything valuable. It will only harm you. Those you hate will carry on with their lives completely unaware of your hatred and condemnation.

I think that Instapundit (Glen Reynolds) is right. Some form of gay marriage – whether civil unions or domestic partnerships or something else will happen. Maybe it will will 20 years from now. Maybe it will only be ten. Maybe it will be less. The Connecticut legislature has already passed legislation. The NY legislature may approve of something. People like yourself who try to control the debate and retreat into the past – won’t know what happened or how it happened if you continue to cover your eyes and ears and only receive information that you agree with.

..."It’s time America realized that there was no gay exemption in the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness in the Declaration of Independence. Job discrimination against gays—or anybody else—is contrary to each of these founding principles.
Some will try to paint this as a liberal or religious issue. I am a conservative Republican, but I believe in democracy and the separation of church and state. The conservative movement is founded on the simple tenet that people have the right to live life as they please, as long as they don’t hurt anyone else in the process. No one has ever shown me how being gay or lesbian harms anyone else. Even the 1992 Republican platform affirms the principle that “bigotry has no place in our society.”
I am proud that the Republican Party has always stood for individual rights and liberties. The positive role of limited government has always been the defense of these fundamental principles. Our party has led the way in the fight for freedom and a free market economy, a society where competition and the Constitution matter—and sexual orientation shouldn’t.

Now some in our ranks want to extinguish this torch. The radical right has nearly ruined our party. Its members do not care enough about the Constitution, and they are the ones making all the noise. The party faithful must not let it happen. Anybody who cares about real moral values understands that this isn’t about granting special rights—it’s about protecting basic rights....."

A quote from a "Liberal"? No, think again! these were the words of BARRY GOLDWATER!!!
