Until we succeed in getting smaller government, those of us who want smaller government had better quit this sniping at each other, or we will have larger government and no freedom. Either we hang together, or we hang separately.

You make the breathtakingly false assumption that GOProud is a group of conservatives. They are not. Allow infiltration of alleged "fiscal conservatives" like this, and you will have blatant, total Leftism in the end.

"Conservatism" can't be parsed. Either you are conservative in all areas, or the word has no real meaning.

And your evidence of this is?

""Conservatism" can't be parsed. Either you are conservative in all areas, or the word has no real meaning."

100% spot on! Some people seem to think "conservative" can be broken down into "fiscal" and "social". It can't. A fiscal conservative who's also a social liberal is a libertarian, which is an entirely different animal. A libertarian is a half-a**ed conservative.

For the life of me, I don't see why the likes of Andrew Breitbart, Ann Coulter, and the FReepers who've been defending them over the last few days/weeks are willing to sell out such a big plank of the conservative platform in order to win so few votes. Homos make up...what, about one percent of the electorate, tops? Seems to me that the GOP would win more votes from independents like me by taking a strong stand against homosexual "rights", queers in the military, homo marriage and adoption, etc.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
