CLEVELAND—Delegates to the Republican National Convention accuse staffers and fellow delegates bankrolled by billionaire political activist Paul Singer of using duplicitous tactics in an attempt to force a floor vote on LGBT issues. ... The goal would be to cleanse the party platform of conservative perspectives on marriage and gender identity issues, an American Unity Fund source told CNN.

Make it light, make it bright, make it gay.
Singer was a HUGE donor to Ted Cruz!
Because as we all know, these are the MOST important issues of the day and to the entire nation.
Fiscal Conservatism requires Social Conservatism.
Granting a lot of new “freedoms” to people costs the taxpayers in many, many ways. Being Liberal may “feel good”, but we cannot afford it.
All Fiscal Conservatives ought to be smart enough to also be Social Conservatives. Of course, that does not mean that the government should “hunt down” or “punish” people who violate social norms. I don’t know a single Social Conservative who wants the government to actively harass citizens over their lifestyle choices.
But making changes (like transgendered bathrooms, or same sex marriage, or polygamy) costs us all money. The low-cost, LIMITED government choice is just to stick with traditional values. Social Conservatism helps keep Big Government in check.
I’d tend to agree... while buggery was banned on the books, it usually took an egregious case to get Johnny Law’s attention. Nobody was doing “gay witch hunts.” The case that got such bans ruled unconstitutional was one of the coincidental arrival in a bedroom of an officer who was following up on something completely different.
This kind of crudely rhymed with the Old Testament system of requiring multiple witnesses to convict (at least of offenses for which the law called for stoning). If it fell below that notoriety level on the radar, it would actually skate on the civic system. It was still a sin and there would be other accountability issues before God, but not through the state.
Trying to make it officially okay, however, opens a Pandora’s box of problems. Now the situations it engenders have to be treated under the law while ignoring the root issue. That is never going to end well.
That case in Texas was no coincidence. It was a planned set-up in order to have a test case to bring to the Supreme Court. No one was being prosecuted under the anti-sodomy law but it was still on the books and they wanted it removed.
The point is that nobody in law enforcement purposed it for that sake... quibble on the rest of the terminology as we might.
It was not meant as an insult. I was just trying to point out how the Liberals use dishonest tactics to manipulate the law and public opinion, just like they did in Roe v. Wade and will attempt with this new “transgender” issue.
CELEBRATE PERVERSITY !
I can tell you that a lot of Christian pastors are counseling their young men and women to not serve in the military over this abomination compounded with abortion.
And as a veteran, if I were young today and had to do it all over again I would not have served.
Didn’t Singer fund St. Cruz?
