Re-read his post. He's positively petrified of homosexuals. It's really quite sad.

Good point, but I'm afraid it will go completely over the heads of CINO's/RINO's like vetsrule and dogbyte12. Years of Christian-bashing pro-gay propaganda swallowed whole without critical examination has taken the entire issue of homosexuality and moved it out of the section of the brain where logic applies, and placed if firmly in the "gut level" section of their brains where logic has no place. Thus when anyone says anything at all critical of the homosexual agenda/behavior/lifestyle, there is an immediate and automatic reaction of --- "Homophobe!! Hater of gays!!"
I first noticed this with local RINO's in 1992. In an election postmortem at local GOP HQ, they blamed the loss of the White House on the fact that unsuccessful candidate Pat Buchanan was allowed to give a speech at the GOP convention the previous summer. These same RINO's had sabotaged a local statehouse election (in what has forever been a "safe GOP seat") because the GOP nominee was an unashamed Christian who had handily beaten the candidate from the leftwing of the local party for the GOP nomination. So the RINO's sent vitriolic letters and even bought ad space in the local paper over the general election season spouting dire warnings that the "separation of church and state" was about to be breached. They proudly identified themselves as Republicans who were campaigning for the Democrat. And it resulted in the seat going Democrat for 2 years.
Some of them confronted the losing GOP candidate at the post mortem and (infuriatingly!!) blamed him for the loss that they themselves had singlehandedly caused! Part of the exchange I witnessed went like this - [RINO]: "... and because you are a Gay Basher!" [Candidate]: "Why am I a Gay Basher??" [RINO]: "Because you hate gays!" [Candidate]: "No I don't! What have I ever said to make you think that?" [RINO]: "You said you support Amendment 2!" (This was passed by a large majority of Colorado voters in Nov 92 and overturned "sexual orientation anti-discrimination laws" in the liberal hotbed cities of Boulder, Aspen and Denver. It was later overturned by the RINO's on the USSC). I was as startled as the candidate to hear this "explanation" for the Gay-Basher accusation. But since then I've seen it enough times that it's rather commonplace.
To try and understand this phenomena, think of the Pavlovian dogs immediately salivating at the ringing of the bell. Think of a doctor's triangular rubber hammer hitting just below the knee and what happens right after. Logical parts of the brain just are not involved in any way, shape or form in the "You homophobe!!" reaction.
You of course can't physically see it in the middle of an internet-facilitated discussion like this, but if you were actually in the same room with vetsrule & dogbyte12 & company and said something contradicting the gay agenda, you would see a definite change in their eyes at that moment. There is a distinct glazing that sets in, as the upper 95% of the brain disengages and goes into temporary hibernation, handing control of the lips, tongue and vocal chords (but not the ears) over to the brain stem located in the neck. You will then hear some random combination of 15 or 20 pre-recorded messages carefully implanted in the brainstem by years of repetitious propaganda .... "Homophobe!" ... "Gaybasher!" ... "Hater of gays!" .... "Nazi" .... "Biblethumper!" .... and so on - all at random intervals.
It's really quite remarkable how similar it is to those old Looney Tunes dolls that came out in the early 60's with a hidden soundbox and a pullstring in the neck that would cause a random prerecorded message to spit out each time it was pulled --- "Eh, what's up doc?" .... "How about a carrot?" .... "Eh, what's up doc?"
What is also quite an amusing sight is when you spot social conservatives who have been fooled into thinking that they are having a real conversation with a Liberal/Libertarian who has actually gone fully into Gay-Issues Brain Shutdown mode. They will say something to argue with the Lib/Lib's last statement, only to be hit back with another random vocal implant. They don't realize that the Lib's brainstem is in charge and that the ears are disconnected, and they mistakenly think that the random soundbites coming back at them are actually responses to what they are saying to the Lib/Lib! It's quite amusing to watch. I like to try and guess how long this situation will last before the conservative finally realizes what's really going on. It's a riot, I tell ya!
