Rush Limbaugh on gay marriage: “This issue is lost” [ What othre issue does Rush concede ?]
hotair.com/ ^ | April 7 2013 | hotair.com/

Rush claims the battle was lost when conservatives started modifying the word “marriage” (“traditional marriage,” “straight marriage”) to describe the institution rather than insisting that the word itself necessarily refers to traditional/straight relationships and therefore doesn’t require modification.

How would you have enforced that message discipline against the left, though? Their 40 percent of the country would have been calling it “gay marriage” no matter what.

I have exactly two words for anyone who thinks they can compromise their eternal souls on homosexuality.

Sodom

Gomorrah

End of story.

Rush is a bet of a libertine when it comes to sex issues isnt he? I’m guessing that this is why he has such a hard time having long lasting relationships.

Sadly, you are right on. Millions have been duped. Laura Ingraham; Palin, and Michele Bachmann are the real thing.

It ain't Rush. It's Rush's boss. Rush has a boss, also, that he has to work for, and most bosses don't always agree with your values. Julie Talbott may be the reason "why" Rush doesn't say he's against homosexual marriage.

Total and complete BS, crapolla, horse dungy, whatever. What's the old saying: If you owe the bank a $100,000, then the bank owns you; if you owe the bank a $100,000,000, then you own the bank. Seems to me that unless Rush's ratings are suddenly in the toilet, he Owns the bank and therefore, he calls the shots.

Rush was expressing his opinion on the political battle. I hope he is wrong. I am not ready to concede. I pray for a revival in this nation. I am also ready for this nation to crumble--Yahweh spoke to the Hebrews about various restrictions on their sexual behavior in Leviticus 18...then he said:

“Do not defile yourselves in any of these ways, because this is how the nations that I am going to drive out before you became defiled. Even the land was defiled; so I punished it for its sin, and the land vomited out its inhabitants. But you must keep my decrees and my laws. The native-born and the foreigners residing among you must not do any of these detestable things, for all these things were done by the people who lived in the land before you, and the land became defiled. And if you defile the land, it will vomit you out as it vomited out the nations that were before you."

Obviously there is an application for modern man--modern man, like the ancient Canaanites, are not going to have an optimum civilization if they engage in the acts considered a perversion in Leviticus 18.

There are, of course, some laws and some practices from the ancient Torah that are not meant for later times. The sexual behaviors, however, were not among these. Even Christ taught forgiveness for these sins, but admonished participants to sin no more. And the writer of Romans and Revelation point out that sexual sinners are not following God's way.

Isn’t that the truth because Elton John is supporting marriage equality. This is so out of control. No person with a moral conviction should see this as a lost cause because it’s sending our society on a dangerous path of saying goodbye to freedom of religion and freedom of speech. Christians who speak out will be imprisoned. It’s going to happen. Rush should be on fire about saving traditional marriage, religious freedom and keeping America as we have always known it to be. He has lots of power, not time to surrender.

Your prediction is, I am afraid, most likely correct.

Limbaugh likes to run his mouth, but I never really get the impression that he is actually a conservative. Like Coulter, he just likes to get a reaction. There is no substance there, IMO. Can’t stand to listen to him for more than about 5 minutes.

Personally, I don’t think that all gay groups want this happening. They just want their America as it has been and to be left alone as anyone does. I think the gay mafia are the ones who are completely behind this. We all have to stand together and don’t think it’s time to give up. How in the world do you manage a crisis in your life if you give up? We have to fire these current politicians in the next election. Rush and the others in the media have to hit back hard on these politicians who represent us.

Rush has always been in it for the money. The GOP has a lot of old gays, and would love to drop the social issues

Rush has become just what he feared he would when he sold out on the Obama BC issue.

I lost all respect for him, Sean, Mark and he whole cast of other talk show hosts over their refusal to reearch and report on the BC issue.

They are all only in it for the money, and to promote their friends next book........

Shout out to Ann “man neck” Coulture fans, how’s she doing now? LOL

>>>Rush claims the battle was lost when conservatives started modifying the word “marriage” (“traditional marriage,” “straight marriage”)

The phrases “second marriage”, “third marriage”, and “fourth marriage” don’t reallly help in the battle either.

I considered Rush to be lost many years ago when he decided to become a country club republican during Bush one. At that point he changed his stand on many things.

I agree with mnehring. I think we've lost this one.

Of course, the real losers will be the Western world x years from now when the consequences of these actions finaly catch up with us. Happy goldfish bowl everyone!

In some ways it is the fault of the religious. They spent so much time worrying about other people’s sins. The Bible warns against it. Just because you wear a necklace calling yourself a Christian or Jew doesn’t mean you don’t sin. You do. In the public discourse, focus only on your OWN sins. You are no cleaner than most others on the planet.

You always post this type of stuff on the "gay" threads. You still don't get the point about Christians and homosexuals and sin. Christians do not believe that they are sinless and that gays are not. The big issue with Christians and sin is that the gays and their defenders do not believe that homosexuality is a sin. How many times must this be repeated until you get it? I am a Christian, and I do sin. I don't stand up in church or in the public square demanding that people accept my sins as "normal". All sin is bad. Christianity is about Christ saving undeserving sinners: "But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8, NSAB)

I don't know where you got the idea that Jesus said sin was "OK" and that he didn't judge people. Just because he was among "sinners and tax collectors" did not mean he approved of their lifestyles.
