I personally could not vote for a candidate who supported homosexual marriage. I believe it violates natural law, it affirms a medically lethal practice, it shows a callous disregard for 2000+ years of human history, and in every society where it has been instituted at the national level, fascist anti-discrimination laws have followed, strangling private industry and religious institutions. Need I mention the fact that nations that embrace homosexual marriage see collapsing civil societies and social structures?

I would encourage you to respect that people draw the lines on who is a conservative at different points in the sand, and someone else may not see it in the same way you do.

I think you are having a bit of trouble reading. I never said someone else couldn't have a different point of veiw on this topic. I am dealing with a crazy person who is obsessed with making an issue of my position that it is indeed possible for someone to be a conservative without accepting EVERY conservative position. For you gay marriage is a deal breaker. I respect that. I even told this other person I respect his position. Overwhelming documentary evidence of 14 years of posting to FR indicates that I generally believe in your viewpoint. And his.

I am not aware of any pro-gay marriage conservatives that I would consider voting for at this time. But the last two primaries in this party have taught me to reject litmus tests as something that ends up handing the nomination to least desirable candidate moderates. So, again, I can't imagine at this time someone who favored gay marriage agreeing with me on much else, particularly abortion. But if he did, I can not say that I would rule him out as a conservative.

I recognize that you're trying to help, but I'm afraid you're only making things worse. Have a good evening.
