The Texas Republican Party gives a whole new meaning to the word conservative.
The GOP there has voted on a platform that would ban oral and anal sex. It also would give jail sentences to anyone who issues a marriage license to a same-sex couple (even though such licenses are already invalid in the state).
“We oppose the legalization of sodomy,” the platform says. “We demand that Congress exercise its authority granted by the U.S. Constitution to withhold jurisdiction from the federal courts from cases involving sodomy.”
[Snip]
In addition, the platform says that homosexuality “tears at the fabric of society, contributes to the breakdown of the family unit and leads to the spread of dangerous communicable diseases.”
It also states that homosexuality must not be presented as an acceptable “alternative” lifestyle in public schools and “family” should not be redefined to include homosexual couples.

Yup! Because they will chose perversion and self-pleasure everytime. No matter who it hurts. No matter who it degrades. No matter what diseases are spread. No matter how many "one night stands" are aborted. No matter how many children have their innocence stolen.
Jeez—that’s not all you’d be missing out on!
That anarchists WANT anarchy so they can get in power.

Odd that the “rights” to sex clubs, porn, sodomy, and abortion were not thought to be in the Constitution until leftists “found” them in the 60s, 70s and 80s.
In the words of Edmund Burke, who was studied by all educated men who helped put our country’s founding documents together:
“Men are qualified for civil liberty in exact proportion to their disposition to put moral chains upon their own appetites—in proportion as their love of justice is above their rapacity;—in proportion as their soundness and sobriety of understanding is above their vanity and presumption;—in proportion as they are more disposed to listen to the counsels of the wise and good, in preference to the flattery of knaves. Society cannot exist, unless a controlling power upon the will and appetite is placed somewhere: and the less of it there is within, the more there must be without. It is ordained in the eternal constitution of things, that men of intemperate minds can not be free. Their passions forge their fetters.”
— Edmund Burke
Five pages of posting history in two years?
Interesting.......
He’s right. A people that cannot control their own lusts need to be controlled by something.
Freedom and liberty were never intended to be a trophy for perversion, degeneracy and moral insanity. Perhaps the "sodomites" should move to France, Spain, Sweden or some other sodomite friendly locale where they grant credence to morally insane perverts and degenerates.
To which you responded:
Close your eyes and you can almost picture a Mudslum saying this.
I don't know how you've escaped my notice for this long troll, but comparing conservatives to Islamofascists will not make you very popular around here.
Free Republic is a CONSERVATIVE forum, not somewhere to promote sodomy.
Weird has four or five pages of posting history since 2008. Metmom noted this.
I agree, but lies are lies, regardless of what they contain.
How do we help people if we misreport what the position of the GOP truly is?
There a quite a few “sleeper” trolls on FR.
Yes and one of the weird Tolkienish figures were trolls.
Funny thing, the trolls in the LOTR turned to stone if the sunlight hit them. They could only thrive in the dark.
More Whack-A-Troll needs to be played.
Various jurisdictions use the "lewd act in a public place"/public indecency ordinances instead of sodomy laws (which were overturned in Lawrence vs Texas), although those ordinances are usually misdemeanors as opposed to a felonious sodomy charge. Lewd act ordinances cover a wide variety of offenses, the act of sodomizing is only one. Also keep in mind that criminal acts are not nullified solely because they are done on private property (the ACLU argued that sex in a public restroom toilet stall is a "private area"). An incestuous relationship done in private will put you in jail as much as one done in public.
Instead of basing our debate on what a wannabe journalist from the New York Daily News wrote, how about we go straight to the source and see what the Texas GOP 2010 Platform says when it comes to the topics at hand:
Marriage Licenses – We support legislation that would make it a felony to issue a marriage license to a same-sex couple and for any civil official to perform a marriage ceremony for such.
Homosexuality – We believe that the practice of homosexuality tears at the fabric of society, contributes to the breakdown of the family unit, and leads to the spread of dangerous, communicable diseases. Homosexual behavior is contrary to the fundamental, unchanging truths that have been ordained by God, recognized by our country’s founders, and shared by the majority of Texans. Homosexuality must not be presented as an acceptable “alternative” lifestyle in our public education and policy, nor should “family” be redefined to include homosexual “couples.” We are opposed to any granting of special legal entitlements, refuse to recognize, or grant special privileges including, but not limited to: marriage between persons of the same sex (regardless of state of origin), custody of children by homosexuals, homosexual partner insurance or retirement benefits. We oppose any criminal or civil penalties against those who oppose homosexuality out of faith, conviction, or belief in traditional values.
Texas Sodomy Statutes – We oppose the legalization of sodomy. We demand that Congress exercise its authority granted by the U.S. Constitution to withhold jurisdiction from the federal courts from cases involving sodomy.
Pornography – We urge our governmental bodies to enforce laws regarding all forms of pornography. We urge more stringent legislation to prohibit all pornography including virtual pornography and operation of sexually–oriented businesses. We oppose the sale of “Not Rated” (NR) movies and video games to minors.

Shall we start this debate again based on what the Texas GOP 2010 Platform really says? (I'll give you guys a hint, you'll still be able to "alter" your lovemaking techniques with your wife without the State of Texas kicking in your bedroom door).
First you set the trap and then you bait it, sooner or later they all find it and expose themselves.
Yes. Interesting that there are so few posts. Maybe the light of FR is too much.
You obviously read the Christian libertarian version of the Bible. Here's what the New American Standard Bible says: "For this, "(K)YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT ADULTERY, YOU SHALL NOT MURDER, YOU SHALL NOT STEAL, YOU SHALL NOT COVET," and if there is any other commandment, it is summed up in this saying, "(L)YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF."
Link to Romans 13
God's laws cover a wide spectrum of sin, and He commands civil government to enforce His laws.
Is that a lot?
Who’s promoting sodomy?
Ha ha ha ha! Yeah, and they’re getting some really disappointing results from the poll that goes with the story if they were expecting universal vilification of those wascally wepublicans.
Poll Results
Should the Texas GOP endorse a platorm that criminalizes gay marriage and outlaws sodomy?
Yes. It’s the party’s decision. — 50%
No. They are taking it too far. — 49%
I don’t know. — 0%
