It has to do with PRETENDING. You’re pretending you can be ambivalent to adultery, support the homosexual agenda — and still be conservative.

Again, what you appear to be advocating for is something called "litmus tests." I find this odd, because previously you appeared to be a dedicated libertarian, but... whatever.

I, on the other hand, have made it quite clear that I have no use for litmus tests. Obviously different policies that are generally associated with conservatism occupy different positions on the political hierarchy. As far as I am concerned, there is only one absolute dealbreaker: Abortion. You can be a "Pro-Choice Republican," if you must. There is absolutely no such thing as a "Pro-Choice Conservative." Or "conservative," for that matter.

Now, we've been over this before but the mental block you seem to be having is your inability to distinguish "non conservative positions held by conservatives" from "conservative positions." There is a HUGE difference, I assure you.

Let me put it another way: "All men are mortal. Socrates was a man. Therefore Socrates was mortal." According to the "logic" you seem to be trying to employ here, it would therefore follow that "All men are Socrates." Doesn't work that way.

To: TArcher; presidio9

I don’t know why you are attacking presidio9’s credentials as a conservative. I presonally do not use, nor advocate the use of, the word “gay” as that is newspeak designed to make homosexuality look happy and normal. But that aside, I know that presidio9 is not in favor of any aspect of the homo agenda. You, OTOH, are a rather recent addition to FR and maybe you do not know his history. Perhaps if you read his comments more carefully, you’d see what I mean.

There can indeed be homosexuals who are conservative in their views, but unfortunately they are few and far between. There are homosexuals who do not buy into the homo agenda and some of them seek help and change, and become cured of their mental illness.

As far as a homo president, we have one right now. And no homosexual is fit to be president, just as they are not fit to be in the military or to foster or adopt children. Homosexuality is a character flaw, a bad habit, a sin, unhealthy, and a type of mental illness. But - people can and do change, and there are countless numbers of former homosexuals.

I don’t think presidio9 would disagree with me on these points, and he is free to voice his opinion and correct me and/or you in any of them.

After reading much of your exchange with presidio9 on this thread, I am wondering if you had another screen name.... Your way over the edge personal attacks on him are senseless and irrational.
