Homosexuals may celebrate their depravity. They my not require me to join the party. I will tolerate their depravity but they must tolerate my condemnation of their depravity.

RNC Committeeman Dave Agema actually said it best a while back.

Basically he made the point that gays already have every single constitutional right that every other American has. The difference is the fact that they’re trying to silence any who disapproves which effectively means outlawing religion in public.

outlawing religion in public

That is the goal of everything they do -- and it's specifically aimed at Christianity. All Leftwing policy is aimed at eliminating faith in God. All of it

Gays have rights like everyone else.we don’t need a liberation movement for a sexual act.

If we were really having a discussion about “marriage equality” in this country, perhaps we could have it.

But its not about gays getting married, its about creating a society where those who disagree with homosexuality and gay marriage are marginalized in our society.

Those who espouse those views are entitled to their First Amendment rights but the angry mob says no.

Those who oppose homosexuality and gay marriage will become the equivalent of black people in the South during Jim Crow days and Jews in mid 1930’s Germany. They will be excluded from employment and business.

ALL AMERICANS WHO BELIEVE IN OUR CONSTITUTION AND ITS GUARANTEES CANNOT BE SILENT IN THESE MATTERS REGARDLESS OF THEIR VIEWS ABOUT SEXUALITY.

We have seen these kind of bullies who label people “haters” before. They stood outside of businesses in Germany 80 years ago with “Jew” signs.

Pastor Niemoller in Germany stood by while they went after trade union leaders, Catholics, Jews etc. etc.

EVERYBODY’S FREEDOM IS EVERYBODY’S BUSINESS

There is no specific right to marriage in the constitution. Marriage falls under our constitutional religious freedoms.

Gays aren’t seeking a right, they’re seeking to impose their will.

exactly, what the homostapo want is for us to be silenced and not inform anyone what the homosexual agenda is really all about plus tramping on the first amendment, freedom of religion, speech and the 10th amendment.

A fed judge should not decide how a state like NM or UT should govern their marriages , this was a state issue not a fed issue

As a new Christian (many years ago), I was suckered into defending my new faith with a fellow collegian. For being new to the faith, I held up pretty well. The kicker was when they fell back to the old "You're not very tolerant of my views!" statement. It had to be divine, but I looked at them calmly and retorted: "Well, I don't think you're being very tolerant of my views either!".

The deer-in-the-headlights look as they saw their bigotry in the mirror was priceless! The sword cuts both ways...

I despise the term “homophobic”. It’s a made up term used to describe the inherent irrationality of people who are against homosexuality.

Phobic means “irrational fear”. Just because people for any number of reasons disapprove of Homosexuality, and all that goes along with it ie. sodomy, promiscuity, AIDS etc doesn’t make them either fearful or irrational!

Gay rights are about two things: money and validation.

Money - Gays want to get the same perceived financial advantages of married couples. Tax breaks and spousal benefits. In the case of politics, politicians want to get contributions from the amble discretionary funds that many gays have. In the case of the military, gays want the extra pay for people who live off-base and medical coverage of tricare for their gay partners.

Validation - Gays couples want the same legitimacy of normal heterosexual couples. They want validation from everyone, more enjoyable to them, if that validation is forced upon a reluctant segment of the population. Also, since many gays are resentful towards religion, they want to undermine those churches and poke them in the eye with their behavior.

All of this goes beyond toleration or the simple demand to be treated with dignity. They want to become a protected class beyond reproach.

Actually, our own Jim Robinson has emphasized this fact over the years.

AS I read this article, what I come away with, is that there shall be a war. It will not be the SHTF’er’s war, not yet.

It will be a war of a magnitude that could justify the eradication of possibly 2% of the American population. That is a lot of Americans. However, when John Q. / Jane Q. Public cannot speak their mind about any issue at all, then a lot of headstones, in a lot of military cemeteries, got there, for nothing!

Will the Sodomites silence me? No. They might be ‘Americans’, but they are endearing Communist ideology, and that I will not stand for.

Do not be fooled, fellow Americans. If there be war, it will because the homosexuals in this country, will be the ones “firing the first shot at Fort Sumter”, not John Q. / Jane Q. Public.

That is a very worthwhile reminder. In my occasional, painful discussions with queers about rights, my fav question is, “What Constitutional rights do I have that you don’t have?” After they sputter and stumble around from a minute, I say, “Then quit you’re bitching. There’s nothing special about me and there’s nothing special about you.”

I've been saying this on Free Republic for many years now:

Christianity and homosexualism (the political arm of the movement) cannot coexist.

They know this too. It will get very ugly in the near future. Far worse than what we're seeing today.
