There was a time on the FR when such a thread would bring out argument and ongoing debate. No more. It's just a cue for everyone to come out and agree.

A few years ago, some posters took over the argument and ran everyone who disgreed with them off the threads and the site. Then the owner came out and agreed with them with his declaration against "homosexualism." 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. We lost a lot of discussion when that happened. But that's the way it is September 6, 2010..............

That's because the debate is over. There is nothing more to debate. There is absolutely nothing even remotely conservative about calling two men who sodomize each other the moral equivalent of a married couple. If you support that--and all the governmental coercion and brainwashing of children that comes with it (see the Massachusetts experience)--you can't call yourself a conservative anymore. Period.

For me, it's a make-or-break issue. Any politician on the wrong side of this issue will never get my vote.
