I’ve addressed the point that a homosexual agenda shouldn’t deprive people of liberty any more than any other agenda should deprive people of liberty. So again you are rehashing a point I’ve already responded to.

“And sexual deviancy is fair game for jokes or criticism, and if you don’t like it, you don’t have to post on FR. No one’s forcing you.”

You can make jokes about a group of people if you choose. My point is that as a practical matter its not a good idea. But if you would rather throw away that support and those votes because you disapprove of a lifestyle, then by all means go right ahead. It’s certainly within your rights.

As for me posting on FR, I am not seeking your approval. Nor did I imply that I was offended. I just think that as a practical matter, it’s a dumb political strategy to discourage conservative-thinking gays, and I would like to see the philosophical base of the Right grow in this country. If it’s only fiscal conservatism that’s better than no conservatism. At least we can balance the budget. I’ll take that over no conservatism, as any reasonable person should.

And that’s not going to happen when we punish people who are thinking conservatively.

And THERE'S the rub:
And that’s not going to happen when we punish people who are thinking conservatively.

You DO realize, don't you, that THINKING and ACTING are two different things? I can say that I'm a Christian and think that I'm a Christian, but if my life doesn't change and I don't follow God's precepts, then I'M NOT REALLY A CHRISTIAN, am I? If homosexuals are THINKING conservatively but not ACTING conservatively, can you draw a similar comparison? THEY AREN'T REALLY CONSERVATIVES. PERIOD. "Conservatives In Name Only", "Conservatives in Wolves' clothing", whatever you want to call it. Sorry they are upset because they have been called on their behavior and not on their 'thinking'. But they AREN'T conservatives, but any definition of the word.

Since 25% of homosexuals (I dislike that they have hijacked the perfectly innocent word “gay” to describe themselves) already voted historically for R’s, no amount of placating them by pretending that they are not sexual deviants will garner any more votes.

You toss off the homosexual agenda as though it’s nothing. It is not a dumb political strategy to promote natural family and marriage and to condemn the homosexual agenda, it’s a suicidal political agenda to to the opposite.

No one is discouraging conservative thinking homosexuals (they are not “gay”), since already a certain percentage - apparently a goodly percentage - vote for R’s already.

What you’re promoting under the cloak of “practicality” is surrendering to the homosexual agenda. You condemn condemnation of homosexuality and that is hypocritical. You’re duplicitous and that is something I don’t cotton to.

homo agenda and liberty

oh please, you sound like a homo lover, I bet you live up in NY and you have friends are homo’s right?

the day they took their sexual life public is the day many got pissed off with them and of course your homo friends will act one way in front of you but another when you’re not around.

go to places like folsom fair and see them then come back and say they have liberty

I can’t even believe you put the homosexuals in the same line as ;lliberty

do you also support the homosexuals adoptions and marriage?
