Just two years ago, supporting homosexual marriage was such an extreme, politically radioactive position that Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton – both Alinskyite progressives and long-time gay-rights supporters – saw fit to publicly and repeatedly declare their opposition to same-sex marriage.
Today, as the homosexual newspaper the Washington Blade puts it, "conservatives have taken the leadership role in achieving marriage equality."
That's right. Not only have high-profile conservatives like Glenn Beck, "The View's" Elizabeth Hasselbeck, Laura Bush, Dick Cheney and many others publicly offered their ringing endorsement of men marrying men and women marrying women, but some on the right are, as the Blade reports, actually leading the charge.
Case in point: George W. Bush's solicitor general Ted Olson has been dedicating his time as one of the two lead attorneys who successfully challenged California's Proposition 8, which had enshrined in the state's constitution the fact that, as Hillary Clinton put it, "marriage is as a marriage always has been, between a man and a woman."
Indeed, proclaims the Blade, when it comes to the battle to legalize same-sex marriage, it is conservatives who "have achieved the most important success so far as they are the most willing and most able to take the case to the Supreme Court."
...
And S.E. Cupp, a young conservative Daily Caller columnist and frequent Fox pundit, goes so far as to say, "Conservatism and gay rights are actually natural allies. Conservatism rightly seeks to keep the government out of our private lives, and when you strip away the politics of pop culture, it's this assertion of privacy and freedom that the gay rights movement is essentially making."

At least he knew what the heck I was babbling about with that song.
Yes and you’re a brat for starting it. I HATE that song. And the ones you hate always stick and reverberate!
Pretty much, yep. ;-)
Could be worse, could have been “Come to my Window” instead.
Don't you, Don't you, Don't you, Don't you?
LOL!!!
I always thought the song was skipping at that point.
I would be very interested to hear the basis of your judgment that your homosexual friends are doing a "spectacular job" raising their adopted children. By the way, are these actually your friends, or are they merely acquaintances in your neighborhood who "seem" to be nice people? Have you seen what goes on behind closed doors - or, heaven forbid, have you allowed yourself to be misled by the superficial outward appearances we are all so skilled at presenting?
More to the point, have you engaged in any objective evaluation of the children? Perhaps you have accepted prima facie some glowing news reports about homosexual parenting, and are assuming that your friends/acquaintences must be doing a "spectacular" job.
You may perhaps be unaware that such studies typically rely upon the self-reporting of the homosexual parents (in essence, asking those who very likely have an agenda of presenting homosexual parenting in the best positive light to rate their own parenting skills).
Have you asked the children how they feel about being intentionally deprived of either a mother or a father? As someone who has researched in and written on this subject, it is heartbreaking to read about comments made by these precious children indicating that they are longing for their missing opposite-sex parent.
And I am deeply offended by the callous response of their "daddies" or "mommies," who treat as a joke the child's heartfelt wondering about when they are getting their own mommy or daddy (curiously, there is no evidence that these children have been "indoctrinated" by "intolerant" pro-family activists...)
Sadly, it seems that in the rush to grant full societal affirmation to a lifestyle that almost all cultures have deemed to be inimical to the institution of marriage and the family, no one is listening to the children.
STOP!
Excellent post.
Okers.
Sorry about getting songs stuck in your head.
;-)
The world that Paul was preaching to was filled with homosexuals, idol worshippers, murderers, alduterers, thieves, gossipers,slanderers, practitioners of witchcraft ect, all of whom already given over to “a reprobate state”. It was the world of the Roman empire, a darkened world given to the very darkened imagination as described in Romans 1. Paul was describing the world he was to preach to and he goes on in the rest of Romans to prescribe the cure, which was of course Jesus Christ. Christ came to save sinners including homosexuals, not leave them in their reprobate state. You have to read the whole of Romans in order to understand Chapter 1’s context!
Which parts are not in agreement?
The ones that are in bold print.
It looks like you spotted a troll.
The information in my bio and the post here are not mutually exclusive. The events described do not preclude me from having such knowledge. I beliebve your comment is based upon incorrect logic in which you relied upon a perceived connection that may not, nor need not, be true for my comments to be truithful and non-contradictory.
Could be.
:)
If you had been here “a few years ago”, you would not now be “learning the ropes”.
Really troll? When was it that Free Republic "debated" the validity of the far left agenda.
A few years ago, some posters took over the argument and ran everyone who disgreed with them off the threads and the site.
Hey troll, you joined FOUR MONTHS AGO. What are you previous names here?
Then the owner came out and agreed with them with his declaration against "homosexualism."
Are you trying to suggest that Jim once SUPPORTED the homosexual agenda?
Many good conservative people have been banned or left because if they disagreed with any one point, they were called pro-agenda, anti-FR, and worse.
Name one.
