MetroWeekly.com is exposing the whole truth that Washington Post would not reveal:
Mitt Romney’s campaign tonight announced that it has hired Richard Grenell, an out gay former George W. Bush administration official, to serve as the presumptive Republican presidential nominee’s “national security and foreign policy spokesman,” according to a report from The Washington Post that did not mention Grenell’s sexual orientation.
Grenell served through September 2008 in the Bush administration as a spokesman to the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations — and told The Advocate‘s Kerry Eleveld as he left the administration that it was his hope that New York would have marriage equality soon and that he would one day be able to marry his partner, Matt Lashey. The couple has been together 10 years. . . .
Andrew Sullivan, who had endorsed Obama’s 2008 run, wrote of the news, “For Romney to have an openly gay spokesman is a real outreach to gay Republicans, a subtle signal to moderates, and the Santorum faction’s reaction will be worth noting.”
Grenell is not just gay, but a gay activist who pushes for same-sex marriages.
At the end of Grenell’s service in the Bush administration, he took a notable whack at the administration, telling The Advocate‘s Kerry Eleveld of his effort to have his partner, Matt Lashey, listed in the United Nations’ Blue Book, which is “a reference guide of contact information for different member states of the United Nations as well as diplomatic personnel and their spouses.”
Grenell had attempted to have Lashey’s name added several times, to no avail. He told The Advocate back in 2008, “What put me over the edge was a friend and colleague who met her spouse after I was already with my partner — they got married and subsequently were put into the Blue Book in a matter of days.”
The State Department eventually told him that the Defense of Marriage Act prevented the listing. Although he protested the decision behind the scenes, Lashey’s name was not ever added, which led to his coming forward to criticize the treatement publicly as he left his post.
HuffPost has noted that since the choice, Grenell has scrubbed his Twitter account and website of offensive material...

Sorry after McCain I will never vote for a RINO again. We are all dead.

You can deny it, but if you "tolerate" it as normal, you are attracted to it. If you are appalled by it, you'd be absolutely repelled by it.
Because you appear to be an apologist, you have more in common with your friends than you realize.
It's call "resonance" or "entrainment."
Please save our precious country from this.

You posted:
The church is not to associate with unrepentant sinners...
and then went on to quote scripture which I do not disagree with.
I did not say anything else about what you said. Your post implies you know that the sinner is now and forever unrepentent. If not, then you would let God decide when the judgements in your scripture apply. Our job is to live by example, which most uf us dont do very well, as exampled by most all (including me at times) during this thread. Our job is to follow the most important commandment. Our job is to go out among the sinners and convert in what ever way God has called upon each of us individually to do. That is not condoning sin.
Condemning Romney because of the sin of someone he hired? Something is not Christain about that. And its a huge waste of energy.
Yup!

Ever read the Screw Tape Letters by C. S. Lewis? Brilliant novel, reveals spiritual warfare from a demon's point of view.

At least MOST of the time!
Dang. The typo was in the original headline, and I didn’t notice it when I cut and pasted it. LOL...
Good one!
I never expect to be respected.
I do, however, hope those who end up disliking me will do it because of my behavior; not about what I type.

Have I now become your enemy because I am telling you the truth?
I want him to cut government spending. If he has to carry a dozen gays on his back to accomplish this, then so be it. We have to focus. We are not going to get everything we want. Obviously we have to settle with Romney. We have to focus on what we can get and what is important.
That's interesting...
1 Corinthians 15:33
Do not be misled: "Bad company corrupts good character."
Yankees have such low standards. NEw England is a disease.
If they are openly homosexual, they are unrepentant.
And we HAVE to judge. What we cannot do is condemn. If we don't judge, then there is no right and wrong and God says there IS.
If we are not to judge, then we cannot say that Mother Theresa was good and Osama Bin Laden was bad.
Please tell me what you mean by "judge". Otherwise we may be speaking at cross purposes.

Mormonism is not a Christian faith. They believe that "gods" created the earth. You should speak to the ex-Mormons on FR.
Also he is seeking guidance from an unrepentant sinner. That is not something a Believer should do.
I’m a Yankee. Feel free to criticize my posts on this thread.
