inclusive in one thing accepting a bunch of homosexuals is not inclusive it is sick

there is no where and anywhere that conservatives have wanted two of the same sex to be married and neither does most of this country

if they want to make this an issue then we shall and let it be known what homosexuals are all about and we;ll show them at their parades and fairs on AD’s so the country can see what they really are like

More from the perpetually outraged...

Exactly. “It's insulting,” [waah] ... “Across the board the reaction to GOProud's presence here has been positive [editorial comment 'BS'], but then you have guys like this" ... "Conservatives have to be more inclusive, they have to be.”...

Oh put a sock in it Catherine. We don't have to do anything. Conservatives don't talk like this, socialists do. What do the lyrics "Home of the Free" mean to you?

Jim Robinson sniffed this out immediately: Free Republic Founder Joins Boycott Of CPAC. Bully for you Jim!

Yeah, the only important thing is money. Morality can just go to hell, right?

PS - social conservatives win big in elections, you don’t know that?

Much more of this and the Repubs are going to find that they have lost a huge number of voters.

I say we let it be known at CPAC that we stand for traditional marriage and not for the homosexual agenda and the queers there can get their booth and piss off and leave this site too

We can win on the three-leg strategy that conservatives have always won on - fiscal policy, national defense/security and social conservatism/historical values that the country was founded on. We should not try to out-lib the libs. That's a loser's game.

”A political party cannot be all things to all people. It must represent certain fundamental beliefs, which must not be compromised to political expediency, or simply to swell numbers ..." President Ronald Reagan

Truthfully, what others do in their homes is none of your business. What they do in the bedroom is between them and God and you’re not God.

And don’t pull that YOU’RE NOT A CONSERVATIVE. I am and Catholic.

The party will lose and it will come about because some people think they have the right to determine the life of others.

And come on, you’re going to announce to the world that homosexuals have parades and people aren’t aware of that so you’re going to expose them?

You’re about 20 years too late on that.

Conservatives shooting themselves in their foot in action. If we don’t become more inclusive we’ll have 20 more years of Obama.

If conservatives don't know what principles they stand for they will fall for anything (and make no mistake they will fall). It is simply not enough to oppose Obama, one must subscribe to a principled set of reasons for opposition or support. If the big tent embraces the sodomites, it leaves out the Biblical Christians. The party cannot be all things to all people, but it can lead and bring people to the party, if it can articulate a consistent platform founded upon an unchanging and self aware epistemology, metaphysic and ethic. Reagan was morally opposed to the pink brigade and abortion and yet he won big! The big tent had three poles that supported it including: morality (both personal and public), limited government and a strong national defense. It is the pragmatism of compromise and the big tent strategies of Dole and McCain that will keep the Dems in the seat of power.

No more socialist calling themselves republicans, no more lost in the morass of moral relativism, no more pragmatic pantywaists - give us men of integrity to principle or the GOP will be actively participating in the destruction of the republic and their own party.

utter crap

you call yourself catholic and your for homosexuals

utter crap

as for them in their bedroom ,they’re sick and mentally ,messed up
so before you come on here and call yourself a conservative then ask yourself how the hell can a man want to stick his dick up another mans ass?

it’s sick and twisted just as a woman wearing a strap on pretending to be a man

you might have missed Jims notes but this site is not for the homosexuals to pus their agenda nor is it for their mentally messed up friends

yes as for parades, the majority have no clue like folsom fair what goes on in their sick parades but it will be aired on AD;s I can tell you that if they want to make this an issue

nail on head
conservatives have always stood for traditional families not some sick twisted view of it

it’s time for conservatives to take as stand against them and stop them posting on here and getting into the GOP

the majority of this country does not want their agenda and they will lose if the queers make this an issue

Don’t pull this “some people think they have the right to determine the life of others” bullshit. That’s nonsense and you know it.

When homosexuals kept their perverted, unhealthy, sickening sex lives to themselves, no one knew or cared.

Now they’re forcing “gay” sex education in schools, replete with instructions on how to fist and commit the grossest of unhealthy practices to kids in middle schools, they want domestic partnerships, they want marriage, they want to be openly homosexual in the military, they want others to be forced to listen to and study in so-called sensitivity training in schools, universities, corporations, government agencies and so on.

They want hate speech laws so no one can say anything negative about their lifestyle and their agenda, hate crimes so beating up a homosexual is a worse crime than beating up someone’s old grandpa, they force foster parents to recognize “gay” kids and attend weeks of “gay” sensitivity classes, judges in CA who are members of the BSA must excuse themselves from any case involving “gays” while a homosexual judge can sit on the case involving “gay” marriage - how bout this?

The above list - and there’s a lot more - is all about homosexual activists FORCING others to bend to their will. They are the ones who want to “determine the lives of others”.

Enough crap and lies from you.

It’s the simple truth.

The cry for “tolerance” really means “We want total dominance over every aspect of society and beat you all into submission and silence!”

You’re deluded if you think that you’re not determining others lifestyles. You’re not only determining them you’re purposely working to limit them.

You’re also ‘round the bend with the “when they kept their “perverted, unhealthy,sickening sex lives to themselves no one knew or cared.” Sure they knew and some cared. Some ended up dead, murdered. Which is why we have hate laws.

I’m not addressing the rest of your controlling rant because this could go on forever and I’m not really interested in trying to change your hardened heart.

I hope you can find it in your heart to stop or at least smother your virulent hatred toward gays because, ultimately, it will only hurt you.

Like it or not, they are God’s children.

Over and out.

I’ve say this and then I’’m finished.

Anyone who has such hatred toward the gays it seems to be so strong that it’s disturbing.

You know what they, you do protest too much. Think about that.
