Your comments are valid. I'm trying to balance my views on job discrimination and life discrimination with my views on politics, voting, and political parties. It's really difficult to do.

When people group together, then they've done so because of some focus that's important to them. To the extent that Log Cabin Republicans are grouped together to prevent job/life discrimination, then I'm inclined to live and let live. To the extent that they wish to advocate homosexuality in any form, then I disagree with them.

Because I think any American should be granted a right to vote, to peaceably assemble, to not be deprived of life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness without due process, then I think it applies as well to homosexuals.

I think it's sad that their behavior is killing them. I wish they'd change. But I can't make a logical leap from there to denying them their political rights.

Maybe there's a good reason to begin a Christian Conservative Party.

Isn't that basically what the Right to Life Party is all about?

Wel, but who's denying them their rights? Look two scenarios.

First scenario: A guy comes, wants to work with the GOP, wants to distribute pamphlets, whatever. Oh, and he's homosexual, he doesn't mention.

No problem.

Second scenario: guy forms group of [enter sexual deviancy here], that is THE ONE DEFINING FACTOR of the group, and wants recognition. To recognize is to validate.

Problem.

Further, do you think people have the right to hire or not hire who they want? I do. To me, that's Freedom 101, right of association. I think if someone doesn't want to hire homely, bald guys with glasses (me), he has that right. His loss, his right. I think he also has a right not to hire homosexuals.

Or would you require Christian bookstores and churches to hire homosexuals?

More grist for the mill.

your 21 agrees with a guy who equates NAMBLA with the Log Cabin Republicans. Just wanted to know if you realized that and were doing it knowingly.
