Yes. I am not trying to offend.
I am afraid of gays because they don't reproduce and have their eyes on my son. They want to come to my sons school and tell him how normal and fun it is to be gay. They want to entice him into an abomination.
That's evil in my book.
Then I'll give you the benefit of the doubt for now.
I have nothing against people who engage in homosexual activity; on the contrary, I have many friends who are gay and otherwise.
But it is not our place as a society, to codify and otherwise change the very socio-economic structure of marriage to suit the proclivities of gays.
I have no problem with the concept of civil unions, and what two committed monogamous people do in the privacy of their own homes is none of my business. And overall, I take a libertarian (little "L") viewpoint of it: it ain't the government's business, which means that the government has no business granting marriages to same sex couples. That being said, I also disagree with futzing around with the US Constitution. That is a document you don't fool with lightly, and this is a situation that where the encumbered powers are far better left to the states themselves.
I'm not even going to get into the spiritual-religious aspects of that discussion.
In any event, this ain't a dead horse that needs beating any more. At least not here.
Can you stand before your Creator and justify voting for a man who supports partial birth abortion? Especially when a C-section would save BOTH lives??????? GOD says life begins at conception. He knows us before we were fully formed in our mothers womb. No one is suggesting overturning roe v wade, they just want it to be used rarely in the case or rape or incest or life of the mother (but we don't consider it the life of the mother if she just doesn't want her figure ruined). We believe that partial birth abortion is simply MURDER.
What two consenting people over 18 do in their bedroom is no ones business. But when those people want to have sex with those under 18 that is EVERYONES business. This is part of a portion of the homosexual community's agenda. Look up NAMBLA and educate yourself on it.
We conservatives don't want to poison the air or water after all we drink and breathe it too. When we camp we make sure our camp fires are put out, we pick up our trash. We recycle when possible.
We don't want to kick old people off social security after all we have elderly parents too. Both are democrat myth.
We don't use our guns to kill others unless we are forced to in self defense, we are responsible with them and keep them out of the reach of children. We believe criminals should be locked up for full sentences and that the sentence should fit the crime. Some of us support the death penalty for killers, others don't.
We believe that we shouldn't be taxed at 50% of our incomes..It seems to me we fought a revolution over a few pennies in taxation. We think/feel we can better decide to donate our money to charities who provide services to the poor and down trodden better than the government can. After all only about 24 cents on the dollar of government money gets to the needy person. While faith based agency's have a better record.
We want good schools and teachers for our children. We believe bad teachers should be fired. That the 3 R's should be taught instead of agendas of enviro whacko stuff or sex agendas.
We don't want to shove our Christianity down any one's throat, but neither do we want their lack of religion or religion shoved down ours. We honor our country and our Military as a shinning beacon of freedom and defenders of those freedoms. America is simply the GREATEST country on the face of the earth.
I hope this explains a little of what we conservatives think. May our Lord bless you for trying to open your mind.
