"Conservatives should remember it very clearly: unrepentant homosexuals are children of the devil. They need to be called to repentance and not assimilated into our institutions. To embrace homosexuality, as merely one more choice, is to embrace death"

I don't know if you meant that sarcastically or not, if so forgive me. But, it's exactly that kind of holy-roller shyte that feeds into the stereotype of conservatives as unreasonable, doom-preaching religious fanatics. "Children of the devil"? Come on now, that redlines the BS meter. I am no fan of the gay agenda either, nor do I support gay marriage. But this fire-and-brimstone "repent-ye-wretched-sinners" stuff is just a load of crap. I am a conservative, yes, but that school of thought is not what I care to be associated with. No thanks.

Just admit that you don't believe in the Bible.

I think he really means it.

Scary, huh?

On the bright side, now that the Republicans have made so many gains, maybe they can cut the crazies loose.

You one of those Log Cabin Republicans....or just a run-of-the-mill athiest? Either way....that school of thought is NOT what I care to be associated with.

When Ronald Reagan called the Soviet Union an "Evil Empire," they served him up with the same kind of effeminate, clap-trap outrage.

The simple fact is that homosexuality--unrestrained, socially approved, and curriculum sanctioned--represents one of the greatest spiritual and economic drains on our culture. I can't imagine you enjoy paying for AIDS funding, or can I imagine you would enjoy seeing a church forced to hire a homosexual organist, just to please the left's version of social engineering. It's time to demonize them--because that is in fact what they are. They want your children. They are active recruiters for their depravity, and it's time to call them what they are--enemies.

Alas, now farmer18th is going to have to report to the other DUmmies that the latest attempt to grafitti FR with bigoted screeds (which could be trotted out as "evidence" that conservatism = bigotry) got shot down (as usual).

Unrepentant sinners of all varieties (not just homosexuals) are "children of the devil." Why? Because the act which set Lucifer apart from Almighty God was his "non serviam." When we say the same thing, we are basically alienating ourselves from God and taking the side of His enemy. It's really not that hard to comprehend--nor is it particularly inflamatory.

As a parallel, would you consider someone a "Republican" if they trashed the constitution, history, and institutions of the US on a regular basis, lived in France, and proclaimed communism as the best form of government? If someone called that person a "child of Stalin", you'd probably agree.
