I’m glad I didn’t have to scroll down farther than #8 to find someone who could put a little ‘corrective perspective’ on this incident.
I’ll get back to this thread later.
These issues are going to be the DEATH of hardheaded, take no prisoners “Conservatives”; they are loser issues for them,always WILL be, and it’s as though they WANT it that way. What, is this the last refuge of family values, keeping homosexuals OUT of the Party??? Or just out of the self-celebrating “Conservative” side of it.
This is not the usual wishy-washy idea of extending the ‘big tent’ outwards to cover populations as diverse as gays, or pro-choicers. THIS IS INSTEAD A FORMERLY DISPARAGED GROUP EXTENDING THEIR BIG TENT TO THE CONSERVATIVES, and some of them like this Ryan dude, young and inexperienced purists that they are, don’t see it.
I woulda booed him too.
Either way,this exclusionary tendency is foolish, self-defeating, and pig-headed and makes REAL conservatives look as much like the narrow minded bigots as , say, John Kerry was when he JUST COULDN’T LEAVE DICK CHENEY’S DAUGHTER ALONE DURING THEIR CAMPAIGN, but HAD TO MAKE HER A POLITICAL ISSUE. Did GOProud demand their rights to proselytize among the rank and file GOP, and teach them the homosexual agenda? What was this Ryan fellow complaining about? If these were conservative gays to begin with, what is the big friggin’ issue? Don’t trust them? Have any of these people ever actually KNOWN a homosexual in any context. (I have, I was in theater all through the 70s)I hope this thread doesn’t die. This is a pet bugaboo of mine.
As i got constantly attacked on that post, i did some research on GOProud and they are a very progressive organisation,not suited to a event at CPAC..
While i have no problem with gay people,i live in the bay area in CA could not swing a cat and not hit a gay person,i cannot tolerate the militant ones who have to force it down my throat that they are gay.
I have some friends who are gay,we never talk about it, what they do and what i do behind closed door is nobodies busisness
BTW prepare to get attacked as people read your post..
Please read past post #8. You cannot effectively promote conservatism if promoting homosexuality, as they militate against its core issues, let alone those of the Bible, and thus that which is the beneficial to a nation.
