Scott Walker’s Many Answers on Gay Rights
The Daily Beast ^ | July 21, 2015 | Betsy Woodruff

Posted on 07/21/2015 9:55:01 AM PDT by Engraved-on-His-hands

Pandering Is Hard. Suffice it to say the Wisconsin governor and 2016 hopeful has a hard time explaining his views on the subject.

It’s safe to say LGBT issues are not Scott Walker’s favorite conversation topic.

Questions about various aspects of the gay rights debate have frequently tripped him up on the campaign trail - most recently during an interview on CNN when he was asked whether being gay was a choice.

“Oh, I mean, I think that’s -- that’s not even an issue for me to be involved in,” the Wisconsin governor said. “The bottom line is, I’m going to stand up and work hard for every American, regardless of who they are, no matter where they come from, no matter what their background, I’m going to fight for people, whether they vote for me or not.”

And should he make it to the general election, he’s only going to have more reason to get “moderate.”

The rights of a swarm of queers are the same for normal people. They need to put a fecal plug in it and quit whining. Point 2: queers and other perverts vote 99% for the DRATS, so ignore them already.

The point is, Walker is not going to do anything to fight back against the SCOTUS decision because his actions show he is fine with it.

Once a Sodomite gets to the point of marrying, they’re reprobates. It would be wholly unchristian to imprison them, physically harm them, or otherwise persecute them, but it would also be unchristian to have close associations with them that isn’t focused on turning them back to Christ. Even that last part is debatable. Going to a Sodomite marriage is 100% unchristian.

Sure, we’re not voting for pastor of our church, but Walker’s weakness on this issue, in the face of sustained and coordinated attacks, shows he’s not ready to be the president we need at this time. His election would probably give false hope and push our normalcy bias past the point of countering Obama’s fundamental transformation.

But when some judge said their sodomite marriage ban was illegal, he jumped right up and declared the issue dead.

Since you're so full of opinions, what would you have the governor do?

Defy the law?

Fire on Fort Sumter?

Duck into a telephone booth, change into a Superman costume, leap into the air and proceed to spin the earth (and time) backwards?

Uselessly piss and moan?

Round up all the gays and lesbians, and cattle-car them to concentration camps?

Declare Martial Law and disband the Supreme Court?

Declare himself Dictator-in-Chief, and single-handedly overrule all past Supreme Court rulings?

The anti-Walker trolls on FR are really a tiresome bunch.

Good grief, what more is there to be advocated? Outlawing heterosexuality?

They won't outlaw it, but they will start charging us a cisTax for being it.

Maybe something south of the hyperbole you offer and north of complete, cowardly, Repbulicanesque capitulation. Maybe something that isn’t completely dismissive of God’s truth: calling the opposition “generational.”

So ? Abortion, the killing of unborn humans doesn’t matter ?

The persecution of Christians by queers and the government doesn’t matter ?

Social rot leads to fiscal rot.

The Bible God’s word clearly condemns the act of homosexuality.

The Bible God’s word also tells us to flee from the appearance of evil.

So tell me ? Just what IS a so called “ good Christian “ ?

What ? going to church every Sunday, reading your bible every day, putting your offering and tithe in the plate every sunday, being kind to the little old lady across the street ?

Those are “ works “ but that is not what makes a “ Christian “.

There are other false religions that do that, but they are not christian.

What makes a person a Christian is someone who have been born again, rebirthed by the holy spirit and is a believer in Christ.

The elect of God, chosen of God, that what makes a Christian.

So what if a friend or relative practice these ? In which is also condemned in God’s word, the bible.

How about poligamy ?

What about beastality ?

The acceptance of gay marriage, or even associating with gays DOES effect and defines one’s ideology.

God warned Israel not to associate and adopt the religions, and cultural practices of the nation’s around them, not take wives for their sons, or sons for their wives from the peoes around them.

King Solomon fell in to corruption and compromise because he married many wives from foreign countries.

Doing does not, does not define a Christian, being, who you are in Christ does.

The Bible God’s word clearly condemns the act of homosexuality.

...and it's your job to punish them?

I don't think so.

That is not the Christianity I learned. I learned to love the sinner, hate the sin.

I hear you, but it’s the same obsessive Qs over and over and few of them will repeat what we believe. They just blow us off, yet the media persists and persists. They can’t ask complicated questions, so while we fret over the immorality, the other issues continue to bite us in the rear because those questions are not being asked and those issues are not being brought to the forefront.

It’s a multi headed war against the left. We have to defeat them in all ways possible. And that includes defining the issues and spotlight, not to continue letting them do it.

But apparently it's all right if you do it.

You will be singing a different tune when they ( the militant Nazi Homosexuals ) come after Christians in a full assault and persecution of Christians, and when it does happen in ernest just like what the Nazis did to the Jews during WWII.

This issue is not even up for debate or compromise among Christians, In the New Testament we are told to flee from even the appearance of evil.

The homosexuals will be the ones who will usher in the anti-Christ.

I am all for the grace of God and extending Christ’s love and forgiveness towards the sinner, however the militant homosexuals have gone far beyond in what is tolerated.

This movement by the homosexuals is a affront to God and his word, and a real war to wipe out Christianity, the homosexuals are in your face type of war and they are not going to stop until they have achieved their agenda.

There is a time to show Christ’s love and mercy, and there is a time to make a stand.

Love has nothing to do with what the homosexuals want, just like Iran and the rest of Israel’s enemies, so too the homosexuals want nothing more and nothing less to destroy our foundations and wipe Christians from the face of the earth.

Homosexuality is demonic and of the devil, it’s a demonic spirit.
