The Re-Tweet heard round the conservative world (HomoGate)

Its been a tough couple of weeks for the gay-loathing “social conservative.” First they have CPAC laying the law down, calling a boycott’s bluff by letting GOProud remain at the event and now this.

The darling of many on the right and a far chunk of the tea party movement has caused a stir by a simple re-Tweet on her Twitter account. (Re-Tweet for those not Twitter au fait, means forwarding a Tweet by someone else to all your followers.) Palin re-Tweeted a comment from Tammy Bruce about DADT and the idea put forward by some to re-instate the policy via the new Congress.

As CNN explains in its “Ticker” section, the source of kerfuffle is minor at first glance. .

“"But this hypocrisy is just truly too much. Enuf already–the more someone complains about the homos the more we should look under their bed,” Bruce’s original tweet read that was subsequently relayed by Palin.”

This should surprise very few who know that Palin and Tammy Bruce know each other. Palin has never shown any signs of being part of the gay loathing contingent, but there may have been those of that contingent who assumed she was “one of them.”

Ben Smith opines that this a sign that Palin is part of the post-social issue conservative Republicans.

“More broadly, though, she seems roughly representative of a Republican Party that isn't particularly interested in fighting the old culture wars around sex, drugs, and crime -- abortion is the enduring exception, obviously -- and more interested in fighting the new culture wars around the size and meaning of government.”

Since I don’t think they should even be able to vote, what makes you think I’d want one as CIC.

What one does have to understand is that what religious conviction, scripture and tradition regards as “sinful” should not necessarily be regarded as a “crime” by the civil state.

Nonsense. The very people who wrote our Constitution, codified laws in their States making Sodomy a capital crime. At Common Law, Sodomy was considered a crime so perverse, so degenerate, so evil, that it wasn't even named. It was referred to as "The crime against nature." Homosexuality is an evil. Its as evil as one can get. We don't tolerate it, and the civil government shouldn't allow such an affront to The Creator to be permitted.

Days of Noah indeed. Not much time left.
