“Conservative” includes “conservative” values that by definition exclude promotion of homosexuality. Babeau wasn’t a discreet homosexual, that’s obvious.
You ever notice that every time someone rides to the defense of an outed homosexual or an open one that gets caught in some scandal or other that ‘their’ friend isn’t like every other homosexual on the planet - that they are somehow unique and don’t follow or participate in the ‘lifestyle’ etc?
I find that rather odd. I mean, if all those homosexuals, pure as the driven snow, no doubt, were such fine, upstanding and “conservative’ citizens, surely the rate of STDs in their world wouldn’t dwarf that of the hetro world. Yet it does.
Surely the number of sex partners would not dwarf those of hetros. Yet it does.
Surely the instances of pedophilia would not dwarf those in the hetro world. Yet they do.
Surely they wouldn’t lie to cover their ‘lifestyle’ to get benefits otherwise denied them by law. Yet they do.
Surely they would not put up a public front regarding their sex practices to falsely gain the trust of their voters. Yet they do.
I know one thing for sure. Anyone running for or currently in a public office who openly trolls/advertizes for “F-buddies” online does not have the common sense God gave a dung beetle. How freaking much of a moron do you have to be to claim the moral authority of a County Sheriff, while operating as an active participant in a world filled with vice.
Whether or not he actually threatened the former ‘friend’ isn’t the biggest problem. The fact he lied by omission to his voters is.
And worst of all is that in light of all the above, people are willing to excuse such moronic and contrary to his oath as a LEO behavior and defend him - as a conservative no less.
If this is what we have come to as a movement, then we are in dire straits indeed.
