FR Zots Gay Rights RINO Trolls - David Frum Deeply Saddened
Frum Forum ^ | 8/24/10 | RD

Posted on 08/24/2010 10:06:19 AM PDT by TrueRightWing

When Bill Clinton moved to open the military to gays in 1993, the GOP and conservative Democrats led the effort to oppose gay rights. In 1996, Hawaii flirted with gay marriage and the GOP again led the charge against gay equality, culminating in the federal response known as the "Defense of Marriage Act".

Flash forward fourteen years to the present. Gay marriage is ruled a federal right for the first time and the response from the GOP is… tepid. Not one nationally prominent elected official thought the issue was important enough to get worked up over....

Complicating matters for social conservatives, polls show even a majority of Republican voters support abolishing "Don't Ask, Don't Tell"....

The list of conservatives supporting gay equality is growing--from the many Republican appointed judges who have ruled in favor of various gay rights cases, to GOP Solicitor General Ted Olson, Republican Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and even the ultraconservative former Vice President Dick Cheney. Nowadays Margaret Hoover of Fox News sits on the board of GOProud alongside conservative Grover Norquist; and even Elisabeth Hasselbeck has come out in support of gay marriage rights...

What is happening to the GOP? First our elected officials tire of bashing gays and now our pundits? Perhaps Republicans are beginning to see the writing on the wall. Public opinion is changing rapidly in favor of gay marriage rights....

The religious right may be having a conniption, but younger Republicans increasingly appear to believe that opposing gay equality is inconsistent with a belief in increased liberty and smaller government. Although the religious right will continue to be a strong presence in the GOP for years to come, changing demographics are not on the side of anti-gay forces and the GOP appears to be awakening to this reality.

Typical leftist/troll mechanism - sneer at the conservatives with demeaning insulting superiority while consistently evading any answers to any direct questions.

I could write a book about how to be a leftist/troll.

Too many in the GOP have one or more of the following:

1. Skeletons in their closets.

2. Are not conservatives and should just re-name themselves “Democrats”.

3. Are addicted to popularity with the DC elite crowd.

4. Are scared little eunuchs without any principles and don’t want the media to criticize them.

Maybe some other reasons but those will do.

No, you ignored information given to you, and kept right on beating the pro-gay drum.

Coming to a fair near you if the gays have their way.

Consider the source of this story.

Anything from that idiot David Frumm OR his contributors is suspect UNTIL proven correct.

The nail and hammer have made contact. You're absolutely correct.

Real Americans must stand up to those who defend IN ANY FORM the perversion of homosexuality.

Imho, if one of those links is for the Fulsom Street fair, it deserves a warning. I wish I could remove those images from my mind.

You are a typical liberal, liar.

And I know I was being redundant.

I was really looking forward to having the troll explain how I was “in over my head.”

True Left Wing, you list only the Republicans who accept, or promote the homosexual agenda. We don’t at Free Republic. Find a new home, because we will forclose on yours ;-)

” I was really looking forward to having the troll explain how I was “in over my head.””

Mere projection from Psychology 101 ;-)

Looks like Glenn Beck, Ann Coulter won’t be posting on FR in the near future.

Hate to see GOP, Liberal RINOs committing suicide
