My thoughts on the election from a teen...
I appreciate your contribution here.
If homosexuality is a deal breaker for anyone, that ought to be a red flag.
The old saw “Love the sinner, hate the sin” has a great deal of truth within. Most of us old folk have known and gotten along with people who aren’t heterosexual. On the other hand we don’t feel compelled to applaud.
Young people would do well to learn from history....the caricature of old school conservatism has haters is wrong.
We need young conservatives to converse with their generation. Have you read Ryan Anderson? He helps make a case for “traditional” sexuality that may be more palatable to a younger generation.
Abuses and vitriol need not happen on either side.
ConservaTeen-I have a question that I would like some insight on from someone your age. Why is this issue (gay rights) so vital to young people when there are so many more pressing issues that face the country and impact our daily life, no matter what your sexual orientation is? Plus, on this issue, at this point, what more do you want? Pandora’s box has already been opened, we’re just trying to protect religious freedom and free speech in the face of the onslaught so we don’t end up like Europe.
You could ask your Dem friends, who you said are Dem because they support gays:
Why do you support a party that makes excuses for, and wants to IMPORT, Muslims who punish homosexuality with death? How is that gay-friendly?
Conservatives don’t support that lifestyle, but we don’t want to kill them or bring in others who want to kill them.
There is also a big difference between “liking gays”, I.e. not hating people whom you know, and believing in treating people with respect in personal interactions and living the Golden Rule , and advocating or accepting what’s known as the homosexual agenda.
It is not a homosexual agenda it is a Marxist agenda, an anti-Christian and Hod agenda and an agenda of control and repression that uses homosexuality and the natural tendency if people to feel bad for others who may be bullied or harmed.
It is a ruse and a canard and a false dichotomy.
Gen-X and Millennial voters definitely tend to skew more libertarian on social issues. The country is becoming more libertarian on social issues.
Yesterday Alabama sent to the Senate a man who is pro LGBT rights and pro abortion. Let that sink in for a moment. Roy Moore is off to join Sharron Angle, Richard Mourdock, Todd Akin and Christine O'Donnell in the "WTF were we thinking?" club.
While the children are running around screaming "vote fraud!" the adults had better get their heads together and come up with a game plan. Two important elections now we've lost; Virginia with the GOP establishment lickspittle and now Alabama with the far right fringe candidate. Neither of these men spoke like President Trump and as a result, President Trump's MAGA base stayed home.
Trump showed us how to win. We should listen to him.
I support you. It’s a whole new world. Just stick with President Trump and you’ll be OK. I had President Reagan, and there will never be another, but President Trump is as close as you’re going to get in YOUR lifetime.
And you can take THAT to the bank. :)
This is why Alabama now has a Democratic senator.
It’s not so much what gays do behind close doors that I mind, it’s that their political views, in general, suck, and are very damaging to society.
I know some gays that are more reasonable politically, but they are definitely in the minority.
I believe that we should be free to associate with whom we want. I believe if a Christian Baker don’t want to bake a cake for a gay wedding, he shouldn’t. If I went to a Muslin Grocery store (I know a store that is run by Moslems) and I don’t see pork, I’m not going to demand them sell pork. I’m not going to sue them..
Ryan Sanderson?? He got a web site?
You don’t mind gays until one of them rapes your little boy in the restroom of the local YMCA.
Millennials, or snowflakes, however you want to describe yourself, will learn, as you grow older, and hopefully, wiser, everyone DOESN’T get a trophy! Everybody DOESN’T become Chief of Police (Dallas) in six months on the job! Some DO have to work weekends and holidays! Hey! I don’t give a flip if you’re gay or straight! But, don’t push your BS on those who have come before you!
True tentacles of government do not belong in our beds... I agree with you in that but, the problem is that they are getting in your bed and molesting you.
I have kids and agree with you. Trump didn’t win quoting scripture every other sentence.
Well aren’t you special. You’re a Libertarian. How precious is that!
Bingo!
Is it though? Too much talk about gays turns off younger voters, but I don't think they're voting on that basis. Too much talk about marijuana has the same effect.
Too much public moralism about private life, too much talk about how everything went wrong in the 1960s, ditto. If that was before you (or your parents) were born, you tune out talk like that.
I wonder if Mo Brooks would have been better...
You really ought not be so condescending after yesterday's debacle.
Bingo to you too!
