Author and MSNBC host S.E. Cupp made news in the run-up to CPAC 2013 by withdrawing as a speaker from the annual conservative confab. Her complaint against CPAC is that it would not allow pro-homosexual "marriage" organizations to sponsor the event.
Cupp identifies herself as a "proponent of gay rights," and on MSBNC she said "marriage equality" is a "major issue Republicans can no longer seem to avoid."
"CPAC's decision to sideline GOProud and Log Cabin Republicans makes me increasingly uncomfortable,"she said."Until the conference stops shaming some of its most valuable advocates, it's unfortunately not an event I can take part in."

Masha Gessen, a lesbian and a journalist, spoke frankly about this at a conference in Sydney, Australia, last summer. "It's a no-brainer that we should have the right to marry," she said. "But I also think equally that it's a no-brainer that the institution of marriage should not exist."
This admission "causes my brain some trouble," Gessen says, "and part of why it causes me trouble is that fighting for gay marriage generally involves lying about what we are going to do with marriage when we get there -- because we lie that the institution of marriage is not going to change, and that is a lie."
How will it change? Gessen explains: "I have three kids who have five parents, more or less. . . . I would like to live in a legal system that is capable of reflecting that reality. And I don't think that's compatible with the institution of marriage."
"Marriage equality" becomes "marriage elasticity," with the ultimate goal of "marriage extinction."...

And here we are stuck in the middle with Obama.
What an idjit. What a maroon. What an ignoranimus.
Useful idiot, thy name is S.E. Cupp.
Same-sex marriage is a perfect example. The fact that neither Moses nor the Hebrew Prophets, nor Jesus nor the Buddha nor any great secular humanist thinker, ever advocated defining marriage as between members of the same sex does not cause the Left to rethink its advocacy of same-sex marriage; it only proves to them how morally superior they are to Moses, Jesus, the Prophets, and everyone else who lived before them."

You are correct on many points. However, this was a river flowing over us, and how do you stop the river? You go to the source. There was no plucking out the turd. The turd came in a fast running river of crap. I’ll pick my battles, and this was not it. I neither had the time nor the energy to fight the flow all the way to the top in the org. But I hear what you are saying—how much do we give up before we fight. Keep the fire! It is in us, too.
Know that we have not given up, but joined a church that DOES abhor such things, so it is not like we entirely gave up. Our large contributions no longer serve Satan, but are still working against him from a different direction.
"Nutty" is deliberately enriching criminals and putting said criminals in charge of keeping them away from kids, as the War on Drugs does.
FR etiquette calls for pinging people when you talk about them.
What a nanny you are.
The political philosophy of libertarianism predates the Libertarian Party by centuries - and the Party endorses some things that are in no way implied by the philosophy, such as open borders and ending legal restrictions on minors.
Good for you!
never mentioned you and seeing as you jumped in then yes you are nutty and so are your views but then again maybe you;ve been taking too many drugs which you want to be legal, you know Heroin, LSD,.
What is happening today is very much like what happened to China because of the opium trade. Human lives were destroyed by drugs just as we see happening in our country today. No man is an island. Even if people have a weakness for drugs or whatever we should not put temptations in front of them. And drugs do not only effect the people who use them. It also effects their families. Fathers and mothers see their children become strangers to them, women prostitute themselves for drugs, people steal for drugs and many people’s bodies and minds are destroyed ending in an early death. Have you ever seen people who use meth?
I think even pot is an insidious drug that lures people into a life of denial of reality. Pot smokers usually start using at an early age, the age in which they are supposed to be making the change from childhood to adulthood. Those precious years are lost. The wisdom and character that they should be developing in those years never comes about. “What does your son do? Oh, he lives in the basement and smokes pot all day.”
We need to change the vocabulary of the culture. I have made a promise to myself to be aware of my language and to chose my words carefully, whenever possible I will use those old words that we seldom hear today to surround people with those traditional values, words such as character, honor, right, wrong, wisedom etc. The vocabulary of virtue has been replaced with a trash vocabulary that surrounds us in this corrupt media culture.
Those members that I talk to are very involved, and given the denomination, I believe most should be voting conservative.
Good to hear. Have some of your fellow church members talked about why they may have voted or not voted for Mitt Romney? Do you think that many members of your church did not vote because they didn’t like the Republican candidate?
So true!
It is NOT Federal money: it's YOUR taxes...
It's NOT a Federal grant: it's OUR taxes...
It's NOT Federal funding: it's OUR wallets...
Do you think that many members of your church did not vote because they didnt like the idea of a man who cannot think his way out of a cult being the Leader of the Free World?
On the other hand, she looks like this:
DY-no-miTe!
