So, you want the President of the United States to tell the entire Homosexual community that they are sick and that he won't represent them as people? Is that what you are saying?
Good false dichotomy.
Thanks for the documentation.
I am saying that they are as much biological
and genetic defectives as those who are born with shriveled legs, or without an arm. and that, while they
are deserving of basic civil rights, they are *not* normal, and never will be, no matter how mant\y rat laws, and rat judges who order people to act as if they are.
They certainly do not deserve to be lauded and rewarded by society, with special class rights and priveledges
such as marriage. Nor should society be forced to integrate as natural and normal, tgheir degenerate and deviate
appetites.
Virtue and Republicanism
"That a republican government is the best in the world if people only have virtue enough to bear it." If people had virtue enough, there would be no need of any government. Government becomes necessary on account of the vices of men. Can a royal monarch, or a splendid junto of nobles, make the people happy without virtue? The great empires of the earth have crumbled into atoms for the want of virtue, as well as the most flourishing republics. How subject we are to place our eyes on the pomp and splendor of the court and overlook the miseries of the people. Those who so frequently are making the above observation, should do all they can to save and foster the government which they own is best; but for the most part, the remark is made by men who are wishing to sap the foundation of our republican government, trick the people out of their liberties, and raise themselves to a state of pre-eminence above the control of others."--John Leland, 1810.
