Plenty of people who worked for Reagan turned into leftists, and none of the Bushes have really been all that conservative.
He’s a big-time conservative, Goldwater guy...he has a different legal perspective on gay rights, however.
What is it with the RINOs and Goldwater?
Goldwater was an ABSOLUTE FAILURE as a candidate. Have you noticed that Democrats NEVER try to compare themselves to McGovern, Mondale or Dukakis, Republicans would be wise to do the same with Goldwater. Goldwater was a libertarian and lost in a landslide. Reagan understood that conservatism REQUIRES social conservatism and he won two landslides.
Sees it as a rights issue, not a “morality” issue.
You really have it in for social conservatives don't you.
Homosexuals have EXACTLY THE SAME RIGHTS to get married that everyone else does and they always have. There has NEVER BEEN A LAW in the United States that barred homosexuals from getting married.
magritte, I'm really starting to think that you are on the wrong forum.

That’s because you don’t read for comprehension well:
Several posters didn’t have a clue who Theodore B. Olson was. This is a conservative forum. Olson has been a conservative figure for 40 frickin’ years. I informed those who did not know who he was to give them some background for the comments that were going to be posted.
I posted my direct thoughts about the issue in a separate post, #34.
PS: I’ll match up my conservative bonafides against yours anytime, sport.
magritte has been anti-conservative since I first noticed him. Haven’t been able to figure out if he’s just strongly pro-RINO or an actual leftist. I do think he’s playing for the wrong team definitely, and not nice about it either.
