This is going to be a great thread. Breitbart, who has arguably done more to advance and defend conservatism over the past few years than the supposedly conservative Republican Party, is now going to be FR's enemy # 1.

Yep. Breitbart will now be thrown to the dogs on FR, just like Sarah Palin has been. It's too bad that we can't even tell who our allies are.

Anyone trying to make Conservatives look like Democrats isn't an ally.

Well, we must admit it is getting harder to do. Things and people are not always what they seem. Some Leftists, like Bill Maher, claim to be Libertarian. I suspect that is to deny his true colors and he thinks few people even know what a Libertarian stands for.

What makes GOProud different, IMO, is they are declaring themselves to be conservative even though they are gay. That means they are not claiming special status nor wanting any special treatment from the government. They are saying that not all gays are pushing the liberal agenda.

Some Freepers are quick to judge and they come out with guns blazing to declare their bona fides as conservatives before they have all the facts or before they have thought the matter through. I agree we must be wary of RINOs but we shouldn't throw our daughters out of the house if they happen to lose their virginity. Dick Cheney has a lesbian daughter whom he loves very much. Did you disown Cheney over that? Some declare their opposition to homosexuality based on their understanding of, and belief in, the Bible. Did they miss the part that says, "Hate the sin but love the sinner."? If you accept their help in other matters it does not mean you are supporting their sin.

Were GOProud not flying under that banner but were instead quietly joining as individuals, as wita suggested, would the same Freepers be demanding their expulsion? I doubt it, and that would also deprive us of the message that the Left cannot create victim groups, demand special rights for them and then claim them as their own and rely on their votes. Some of these made-up victim groups, blacks, women, homosexuals, illegals, etc., are conservatives and we should be happy when they declare themselves so.

To abandon Breitbart over this is ridiculous, wounding yourself in the futile attempt to hurt someone else. Is that Christian? It is certainly dumb and all would see it as such were their vision not clouded by religion and politics.

I suggest that some Freepers should cool their jets, stop their sanctimonious Bible thumping, and take a closer look at this thing.

allies are easy to stop.
those who stand for conservative principles like traditional normal marriage.

It’s very easy really to understand IMHO, I’m sure you agree that those who are for the homosexual agenda and have fisting taught in schools are not conservatives right and need to be told piss off to the libertarian party and convention?

An ally does not try to force you to accept something that every fiber of your being screams is wrong.

On this issue, Breitbart has shown himself to be completely out to lunch. It should make you question his other positions and where he might sell us out next. That's usually how these things go.
