The Americans that created this nation and created the rules were intolerant of what you are trying to push here, homosexuals did not fare well in their hands, they did not call homosexuality liberty. Washington himself would drive them in disgust from his army.
Conservatives support conservative economics, conservatives also support our original conservative and religious culture.
Liberals that just want like the economics of conservatives but want to promote the rest of the left’s agenda, can pound sand.
Except much more masculine.
Deep down, a lot of elite/big-money conservatives don’t really care for the social conservative issues. I wonder if there’s some of that in play here.
America was founded upon freedom of religion:
America as a Religious Refuge:
The Seventeenth Century
Many of the British North American colonies that eventually formed the United States of America were settled in the seventeenth century by men and women, who, in the face of European persecution, refused to compromise passionately held religious convictions and fled Europe. The New England colonies, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Maryland were conceived and established “as plantations of religion.” Some settlers who arrived in these areas came for secular motives—”to catch fish” as one New Englander put it—but the great majority left Europe to worship God in the way they believed to be correct. They enthusiastically supported the efforts of their leaders to create “a city on a hill” or a “holy experiment,” whose success would prove that God’s plan for his churches could be successfully realized in the American wilderness. Even colonies like Virginia, which were planned as commercial ventures, were led by entrepreneurs who considered themselves “militant Protestants” and who worked diligently to promote the prosperity of the church.

Tammy Bruce rocks - I began listening to her years ago when I loved in LA. Her transformation is remarkable.
Wake up, smell coffee.
3 R Senators and one very big time R congressmen are all but openly gay.
A vote is a vote.

Well then you should take it up with Ann Coulter. Evidently she can overlook. Shame you can’t. Peace.
The freedom to practice a religion does NOT conflate to the United States being founded AS a religious nation. It’s not the Christian equivalent of the Islamic Iran. Anyone who thinks so doesn’t get it. If the founders intended this to BE a ‘religious” nation they would have enshrined a particular religion as the state religion in the constitution. They expressly prohibited any established religion. It’s today’s religious conservatives who are expressly trying to enshrine their religious beliefs into public policy. Which is exactly what the founders forbade in the constitution.
She also opposes gay "marriage" and adoption. Does GOProud?
I am also a Jew, and embrace the "Christian agenda". Speak for yourself.
antonico is like GOProud, obsessed with his own sexual urges.
Overlook what? I won’t overlook left wing agendas being pushed, without responding to it.
I wouldn’t be here if I supported liberalism.
What liberalism? If you say all gays are nothing more than liberals (they’re not) then is it fair to say all Conservatives are bigots?
What they wrote merely forbids the federal government from getting involved in the question at all, besides, who is imposing religion on you, this is politics and law.
The founders did not tolerate homosexuality, do you think that they would have spoken to a homosexual political group?
Do you think that any political party in existence then would have allowed a homosexual activist group within it?
Pushing homosexuality is a part of the leftwing agenda, that means liberalism.
If a homosexual is pushing it, then he is a liberal, regardless of what tax policy he prefers.
That’s not what I said. You said America was founded upon individual freedom. It was founded upon freedom of religion.
Then by the same flawed logic it can be said that anyone who looks at al homosexuals as leftists is a bigot. And conflating homosexuality and liberalism is ..well.pretty weak. Mentally and otherwise. And its clear the very subject of homosexuality just really gets under your thin skin, for whatever reason.
That is a goofy post that is way off topic and nasty for no reason.
Read my posts and quit making up your own for me in their place.
If a someone is pushing homosexuality then they are pushing an element of the radical left, and liberalism.
Do you understand the difference between someone being a homosexual and someone that is promoting the homosexual agenda?
Conservative homosexuals do not promote homosexuality.
