In an August 10 article appearing on the front page of OneNewsNow.com the world learned that Ann Coulter –the “Queen of Conservatism”– was one-upping Andrew Breitbart and Grover Norquist in their “gay” butt-kissing contest by accepting a new position as Honorary Chair of the pro-sodomy organization GOProud. Said Coulter about her new position:
I am honored to serve in this capacity on GOProud’s Advisory Council, and look forward to being the Queen of Fabulous.
If GOProud advisory board member and Gay-Stream Media (GSM) mogul Andrew Breitbart were any happier about this turn-of-events he’d be “gay”!
Shortly after appointing their new Honorary Chair, GOProud declared Ann Coulter a “Gay Icon.” No folks, you’re not reading an Onion article.
Ann Coulter has traded her Conservative crown in for a “gay” tiara. Now this formerly-closeted social-liberal is in the public bathroom stall with the “gays” and her credibility with Conservatives is going down faster than Larry Craig can knock three-times –or DID activist Andrew Breitbart can find out that nobody cares that he’s boycotting Conservatism, again! Well, he isn’t as bad as Mr. Swindle yet -but he’s gettin there!
Due to the controversy generated by Coulter’s move some young activists are asking themselves if “gays” can be a part of the Republican Party?
The answer to the question of course is no. No, Ann, they can’t. What part of “Party of No” don’t YOU understand?
I am not arbitrarily banning self-identified “gays” or pro-“gay” activists from membership in the Conservative movement. Nor am I a “nasty bigot,” of course. I am simply explicating a tenet of Conservatism. Just ask Mr. Conservative himself.
Ronald Reagan on the relationship between the government and homosexuality:
We will resist the efforts of some to obtain government endorsement of homosexuality.
Ronald Reagan on “gays” and HIV/AIDS:
Maybe the Lord brought down this plague [because] illicit sex is against the Ten Commandments.
Ronald Reagan’s hand-picked Supreme Court appointees Antonin Scalia and William Rehnquist rightly upheld anti-sodomy statutes in Bowers v Hardwick.
Conservative icon William F. Buckley Jr. felt the same way. When left-wing activist Gore Vidal called him a crypto-Nazi, he replied stridently:
Buckley later apologized to Vidal for his stridency but not before making his position on the unnatural vice clear:
GOProud, the pro-sodomy organization which Ann Coulter now honorarily chairs, is an organizational manifestation of what Mr. Buckley referred to as “the pusher.”
GOProud’s mission statement on its website proclaims, “GOProud represents gay conservatives and their allies. GOProud is committed to a traditional conservative agenda that emphiasizes limited government, individual liberty, free markets and a confident foreign policy at the federal level.”
However, in a moment of candor last August, GoProud co-founder Christopher Barron tweeted about the organization’s true mission:
We are a gay organization, we only work on gay issues, we have never claimed otherwise. My God people.
The aforementioned tweet was posted at 4:04 p.m. on Aug. 4, 2010 by Christopher Barron -the organizations founder.
GOProud’s advisory board member Andrew Breitbart seems to agree with Reagan and Buckley. He implicitly acknowledged that sodomy is not a Conservative tenet 25 minutes into an interview on C-SPAN last October when he stated that he is not Conservative or even libertarian, but “libertine on issues of consensual behavior among adults.”
Conservatism has grown in recent years, not only due to national frustration about the economy and Obama’s socialist health-care plan, but also due to the hard work of a lot of Conservative organizations and activists. This is a good thing, and the entire movement might be more united if it weren’t for the controversy and divisiveness brought about almost single handedly by GOProud.
Although the Conservatism which animates the Republican Party has no rigid ideological dogmata, it isn’t in essence populism either. Conservatism ascendant, I suppose we now need an objective standard by which to determine when a group is legitimate. I propose the following simple measure:
One must not insert an issue contrary to conservatism’s core tenets into one’s core organizational structure or core personal political identity, if one expects to be considered “Conservative.”
Conservative intellectual Floyd Brown summarizes those core tenets thusly:
The conservative movement as envisioned by Frank Meyer is a coalition between economic conservatives, social conservatives and defense and foreign policy conservatives. GOProud’s participation…undermines the coalition envisioned by Meyer, the philosopher at National Review that developed the framework on which the modern American conservative movement was built.
Ann Coulter, renounce your affiliation with GOProud, stop contributing to the “born gay” hoax, and stop using individuals with Same-Sex Attraction Disorder (SSAD) as fodder for the multi-cult (aka cultural-marxists), and third-wave feminists, or prepare to be divorced from Conservatism, and Christianity, for that matter. Oh by the way, Francios A. Houle says ”Hi!” He says you’re welcome back in Ottawa again. Congrats! I guess I’m the one banned now. This is a zero-sum game. If you keep on the course you’re on, you lose.

Ain't that the truth!
I believe that they feel incredible guilt about their affliction, and want to assuage that guilt by using government power to forcibly co-opt everybody else into an acceptance of that affliction.
[ If gays harm anyone, they harm themselves. And ‘government out of my bedroom’ means ‘government out of everybody’s bedroom’. ]
How do you enforce morality in other people’s bedrooms between consenting adults. You cannot because to enforce such things you have to give a lot of personal property rights and allow the government onto everyone’s private property. You may not like this, but you start allowing the government into your bedroom and you allow them into every aspect of your lives.
What the government CAN do is restrict the actions of people on public/government owned property such as schools and parks. Local Laws can be passed against public lewdness and sexual acts in public. I think that there should be restrictions on people groping each other in public be it between a man and women or one and the same.
[ But far too many in the gay community are under the mistaken impression that to protect what they do in the privacy of their own homes they have to buddy-buddy up with big government.

They want to use the levers of big goverment powers to force themselves via “forced acceptance” because it is an easier way to do this than trying to “earn acceptance by leading by example and living well”.
Earning acceptance is a LOT harder especially for that group than it is “Bully Acceptance”.
This battle is not taking place in anybody’s bedroom. It is taking place in the public square. You’ve bought into the Left’s propaganda.
[ This battle is not taking place in anybody’s bedroom. It is taking place in the public square. You’ve bought into the Left’s propaganda. ]
The Gay Community already won their battles years ago when some of the invasive laws (and unconstitutional laws, which were a violation of the 4th amendment)were overturned, but in order to justify their existance they keep pushing and pushing it from the bedrooms and into the public square. Originally they were only pushing for “privacy in the bedroom”, but after gaining it they kept going not realizing that they were becomming more and more unreasonable. They tasted power and got addicted to it, which is no wonder they so easily partnered up with the left.
Love the quote by Bill Buckley. Good article.
But it is selective; while a lot of people attack Ann Coulter for joining the board of GOP proud, a lot of others are quite fond of Tammy Bruce, who actually is a homosexual, and is the chair of the GOPProud advisory council, and supports gays in the military.
DO NOT MAKE FUN OF MY EARS! I’M VERY SENSITIVE ABOUT THAT!!!
I've met Grover Norquist. He is a force in republican politics; he shows up at a lot of republican events, and speaks about tax issues.
Apparently he spoke about taxes in March of 2011 in Texas, at a Perry event talking about not raising taxes and not raiding the rainy day fund.
I can find nothing on the web that identifies Norquist as an advisor in any capacity for Rick Perry, much less a "trusted advisor"; I have no doubt Perry would take a Norquist phone call, because he is the head of an anti-tax organization. Many conservatives sign Norquist's no-new-tax pledge.
But do you have a link to something other than an opinion piece that identifies Norquist as being part of the Perry team, or being one of his "trusted advisors" (whatever you actually mean by "trusted"). I'm not saying campaigns wouldn't have Norquist advise them on tax issues, just that I can't find a story about that, except bloggers talking about Perry's "muslim" problem.
Hit piece from Groinal conservatives..
Well done too... except for the smell..
Whatever that means.
Ann is nothing to me now. She is dead to me. I care absolutely nothing about her anymore. She ‘jumped the shark months’ ago.
I lost any interest in anything she has to say when she got all cozy with the most liberal Governor in the history of the republic, Mitt Romney.
“I’ve wondered about that Adam’s apple on Ann.”
You mean Man Coulter
[ Whatever that means. ]
Some peoples politics is all in their heads..
Others politics are Groinal...
People look at politics from different views..
Cats puff up and posture, but dogs must smell first..
Theres a lot going on from the Groinal view.. many different smells..
Theres the male groin and the female groin and.....
WELL... some vote according odor.. and orifice..
I vote with my head..
Only if you don’t make a claim that you are socially conservative.
“I vote with my head..”

So do those of us who are opposed to tiny elitist factions within the government, enabling the MAINSTEAMING of perversions, which have been recognized as such for eons of human history.
