Fast forward now to Pope Benedict and the reaction from the Islamofascists.
Yes, you did get that right. It's not much different from racialist groups who punish members who do not stay on the racial plantation.
Regardless of any other implications, one thing is for sure...
The RINOs who berate the social conservative base with "God, Gays, Guns" nonsense are not going to shove a homo friendly, gun grabbing New York liberal with a fancy Madison Avenue label down their throats in the primary for '08 and tell them it is their only chance to beat another New York liberal with another fancy Madison Avenue designer label...
Imagine that you are single and NO ONE will date you because of your politics. Imagine that every restaurant and watering hole refuses to serve you, and that when you enter a gathering people turn their backs on you. Furthermore, imagine that you constantly receive threats and hate mail.
Now imagine that you are gay but keep your lifestyle private, maybe because of your job, maybe because of your parents, whatever. Those folks have the additional threat of blackmail hanging over them.
I wonder how many of the gay Republicans have been threatened?
Howlin, remember how Andrew Sullivan went bonkers and started attacking Bush? And look at what happened to Mary Cheney!
An old pal of mine has spent years defending a marine who had "relations" with an older gay male in San Francisco. Later, the older gay male was found dead. The marine, last I heard, is still in jail, despite the lack of evidence directly linking him to the crime.
The social pressure conservative gays receive is horrid.
Bless you for wondering what kind of pressures gay conservatives receive at the hands of their abusers. All that you have written and wondered, is exactly how it plays out. Plus they have to deal with "sneak" attacks -- Dem gays courting conservative gays, pretending to also be "conservative", but then compiling incriminating data against the conservative gay. Again, Miss Marple, thank you for wondering, aloud.
//caveat for those who no doubt will ask: NO, I'm not gay.
I am sending you a private freepmail.
I'll read it next time I'm on. I'm just too angry at moment reliving memories of what has gone down in San Francisco over the years to not be spilling over with long-suppressed fury and indignation rants. There's spittle in the back of my throat and my fists are balled up making typing a tad difficult.

Someone please clarify -- is the Gay Patriot different from this Rogers character?
oh -- OK -- I see now that he was going after Rogers long ago. Carry on.....
If there was a "D" by Foley's name the MSM would debate the issue for hours, and after much hand wringing, decided it's not a story. Put the "R" next to the name and the debate is much shorter and the results are in front of us... The only conflicting swing?
The MSM gives passes to gays - and not passes to Republicans - so some members would sit on this -- but in the end, the "R" trumps all -- And yeah, don't count on seeing the same about a democrat - even if every member of the MSM knows the story and the stroy is much worse. Dem gays get total passes -- they could have hookers working out of their basements and they'd get a pass. Anything and everything. Ever see a negative story about a gay liberal? Ever?
Or just settle on closing their eyes and farting.
Sounds like the gay constituency (primarily dem, I assume) is starting to wake up to the reality, which is that the dems don't give a damn about them anymore than they do about minorities, women, and children. All are just tools in the dem's political toolbox, to be used to further their own political careers.
Unfortunate choice of words? LOL!
Did you notice that some Freepers actually seem to know some of the actors, and have tipped (another unfortunate word) us off to "more to come" (an unfortunate phrase).
Gad.
It was easier to talk about Bill Clinton and the cigar!
