Why doesn't he mention the actual name of his blog: 'Gay Patriot'? At least 12 people on this phony "tea party" list are gay actvists. This is a transparent attempt by the homosexual lobby to co-opt the movement. I guess since the Ann Coulter invite backfired on them, GOProud is trying a new gimmick. It won't work. We aren't that stupid.

I'm a pretty homophobic guy, and quite sure I don't agree with a lot of the social agenda of gay fiscal conservatives. But if I do happen to agree with them on size of government issues, why wouldn't I cooperate with them on those issues?

There are political alliances available out there to accomplish a great many goals if we go about it intelligently. There is a clear majority in this country that opposes the current trend of more government. Fine -- unite with those people, and solve that problem. We've actually got a political majority on the gay issues as well given that African-Americans generally are conservative on that. So then you unite with them to defeat things like Prop 8.

But if you insist on doing it all at the same time, you will lose too many fiscal conservatives because of social issues, too many social conservatives because of budget issues, and accomplish neither objective. And the only people who benefit from that are those who are liberals on both fiscal and social issues.

We just delivered a pretty crushing defeat to the left based on budgetary/fiscal issues, and the smart tactic is to exploit success and pursue rather than stopping to loot the baggage train and see what other goodies we might find.
