I’m sick and tired of being told I should be “nicer”. Being “nice” is what has gotten this country to the pit it’s in.
Being “nice” to radicals who break every single rule gets the shit beat out of you.
If you are saying we can win elections by being meaner, I disagree with your opinion, and I think the evidence is clear that being mean does not get the independents to vote for your candidate.
If you are arguing that personally you don’t want to be nice, I’m not telling you what to do in your personal life. I’m saying what the public face of the party should be, if we want to win elections.
We need to be the party that opposes special rights for homosexuals, that opposes condoning homosexual behavior, that opposes making homosexuality “normal”. But if we are the party that hates homosexuals, we won’t win elections. And i want to win elections, and since I don’t believe God called me to hate homosexuals, I don’t feel I’m compromising my principles by suggesting this course of action.
