The one thing the eGOP will not allow is conservative values.
Even without these religious freedom laws; we should have the right to discriminate against any deviant lifestyle. Don't people non-violently discriminate against pansexuallity, polyamory, bestiality, pedophilia, etc.? Non-violent discrimination against deviant lifestyles is a good thing!
Nobody is born being homosexual; it has never been scientifically proven. In fact, just the opposite is true – IT IS A CHOICE! We have not only lost this premise, now people believe the premise that bisexuality is OK. Soon, we will lose the premise on polysexuallity, polyamory, bestiality, pedophilia, etc.
Frankly, IMO, we started to lose the premise that discrimination against indecent behavior was good when Americans began to accept sexuality outside the bond of a monogamous heterosexual marriage between one man and one woman for life.
Why would anyone listen to this mouthpiece of The Cheap Labor Express on any topic?
Guess she missed this:

““We are headed to the point where a political candidate who is perceived as anti-gay at the presidential level will never connect with people under 30 years old...especially “
Oh no. Because they are pretty much our whole base...especially among women.
The left is on a full frontal assault and the GOPe does nothing to stop it, and these idiots want us to show restraint.
Insane.
Rubin and most other neoconservatives are also in favor of open borders and amnesty for illegals.
Rubin supports the GOP only to the extent it is useful to Israel. Nothing wrong with that but it means she does not give a damn about any other constituency of the GOP. In Rubin's mind the ideal GOP would be a Pro-Israel version of the Democratic party.
In other words, her ideal is the Democratic party of the 1980's. Candidates like Jeb Bush and Chris Christie are probably to the Left of Tip O'Neill, so if the RNC has its way Rubin will get what she wants.
I figure she is just another fake Republican so the MSM can pretend to have balance, even while giving one side
Anymore my idea of ‘restraint’ on the part of the GOP is in the form of using a baseball bat instead of a shotgun!
I’m sick to death of the GOP coddling the Democrats!!! ENOUGH!!!
Yeah - let’s make all our ethical decisions based on how people under 30 feel about it... Winning is all that matters... right? /s
(1) There is now a generational discontinuity in which traditional moral teaching and lifestyle discipline have diminished appeal or are strongly rejected by those under 25. If conservatives and the GOP do not effectively deal with that cultural division, we risk losing a substantial and even decisive slice of the electorate. This is a recipe for permanent minority status politically and culturally.
(2) The playbook of the news media and of our political opponents is geared toward using that generational and cultural division against us in a hostile and bullying manner. Conservatives need to be unflappable and fluent in meeting that challenge. It is not enough to be right on the cultural issues and well-informed on the facts, you must also convey a sense of compassion, a positive agenda, and an engaging manner that disarms voters with opposing views.
(3) For a sense of how this can be done, view and compare Reagan's speech for Goldwater in 1964 with his Republican convention speeches in 1976 and 1980. The Reagan of 1964 came across as an Old Testament prophet condemning the laxity and sins of his people. The Reagan of 1976 and 1980 had become The Gipper, pointing the way forward to a better future and inspiring hope.
(4) Christian conservatives need to keep in mind and to say at opportune times that as wrong as homosexual conduct is, Christ loves everyone -- including gays, criminals, and sinners of all kinds. Christ is humanity's Redeemer, not our Great Condemner. He offers us the hope to avoid what we otherwise deserve for our defects and sins.
(5) Our critique on cultural issues should be offered in a an approachable and informed manner. For example, it bears mention that where gay marriage is established, relatively few gays get married. Moreover, where gay marriage is established, the rate of marriage between men and women soon falls. This hurts children most of all because it makes it less likely that they will be raised by their mother and father living together in a committed relationship in a loving home.
(6) By definition, children raised by gay couples lack a parent of the opposite gender. Experience shows that children raised in gay households thus often have a sense of loss and inadequacy throughout their adult lives because they were deprived of care by parents of both genders.
He can eff off as far as I’m concerned. And really, that needs to be the reaction. Just call them out as liberal shills and tell them to go eff themselves. Loudly.
