Log Cabin Republicans 'not a worthwhile exchange'
One News Now ^ | 2/17/2009 | Jim Brown

Posted on 02/17/2009 7:39:28 AM PST by GonzoII

A conservative activist group is urging the new chairman of the Republican National Committee to refrain from courting homosexual activists within the GOP.

Illinois-based Americans for Truth About Homosexuality is calling on socially conservative Republicans to call or write new party chairman Michael Steele and ask him not to promote the agenda of the Log Cabin Republicans, a homosexual activist group.

Are the Log Cabin boys for gay marriage?

Being gay doesn't make you any different under the law than being left handed.

Now wait one minute there, sir.

It is WAY different under the law than being left handed.

I understand your point, and, in fact, I agree with the underlying meaning, but as a left handed person, I will state that I am in many ways different under the law.

Gays have numerous laws, most of the Media, and an entire liberal trash school system promoting and even enforcing their regressive agenda that would allow and promote the extinction of their respective bloodlines.

I can't even buy a pair of scissors that work in my hand, but then again, I do refuse to allow my ancestor's DNA to be removed from the Earth by populist liberal theology that has exactly that agenda.

Thank you for your post.

No, but we can make sure that the GOP never wins any election ever again.

If you support the Democrats, why are you here?

Dear Chairman;

It is suicide to promote a group that alligns with the Republican party (but has loyalty) toward a cause that is at ODDS with our national platform (or at least in promotion of that cause) with the vast majority of grass-roots activsts.

Sincerely,

A Ticked Off Member.
JS.

Thank you! Someone who gets it.

All of this debate about homosexual marriage is nonsense and a waste of our time and energy. This issue isn’t whether or not any government agency should recognize it. The issue is whether or not the government should be involved with marriage in the first place.

Marriage should be a private matter between two people. Whether they want to involve a church, a ship’s captain or some Elvis impersonator is their call. Marriage licenses, related tax initiatives and governmental approval should not be part of the mix.

I have an old family Bible that has a list of marriages in the family. Many of those involved no governmental paricipation whatsoever. There was no need. They went to their local church and just got married. Afterwards, they recorded the moment in the Bible. That was that.

To think that we need governmental involvement sounds earily similiar to leftists who preach the same nonsense about their pet issues. Heck, the same could be said with many of the hotbed issues of the day. Can you imagine how many problems could be fixed if we just got the government out of something like education?

I don't believe the article/letter states they should be excluded, just not courted, their activism not be accepted in order to court them. It isn't about the people, but the agenda that is not welcome. Of course they are welcome, IF they promote or believe in Republican principals, but NOT if they are bringing the ideology with them.

” whatever Party you go to, there will be gays there as well.”

That is true.
The big question I suppose comes down to the “gay marriage” issue - should republicans cave?

The gays can either be democrat over that issue, and be part of the new socialist takeover, or they can decide what is more important - trying to change the traditional definition of marriage - or having more money and more freedom in other aspects of their lives.

You are, of course, right lj. There is nothing more cowardice than making those kinds of accusations against any person who is no longer here to defend himself. It is revolting! And the homosexuals who brand Lincoln as they do are as well.

Hello? Has that of been addressed over and over? Any conservative Republican is welcome! But the truth is, catering to a small group who themselves are trying to “convert it into a socialist/fascist dictatorship” is NOT going to gain us a single thing.

Are you having a conversation with the liberal in the mirror, again, Stevey?

Come on, you can buy left handed scissors if you shop around..

But it’s interesting that Lefties used to be regarded with suspicion and were discriminated against.

We still have the word “sinister” in our language which was derived from the Latin “sinistra” (left) which associated left handedness with evil intent and lack of trustworthiness.

BTW isn’t it strange how the liberals support says as “natural” yet they also subscribe to the theory of Evolution?

” The Log Cabinites always vote Dem anyway.”

I’m sure that’s news to them. It’s true that Log Cabin Republicans are more liberal on average, but most still vote for the ‘right’ man or woman.

For starters, there are gay conservatives out there who are conservative on abortion, defense, you name it.

But that’s beside the point, because the issue isn’t so much winning over a handful of gays as it is not turning off the straight independents who are gay-friendly. The truth is that there are may straight independents who have gay family members that don’t like what they perceive to be anti-gay rhetoric. Note how I worded that. It’s not so much what the GOP’s position is on any specific gay issue as it is the language it uses when it discusses those issues.

BTW, I agree that there’s no real evidence that Lincoln was gay.

Since gay marriage does not even have majority support in a state like California, why should we support it?

I’ve read many articles about the LC Repubs on FR. It is crystal clear that their objective is to advance the “gay” agenda, and push the GOP further to the left, especially regarding said agenda.

And regarding Lincoln, there is no evidence at all that he was homosexual. This has been discussed exhaustively on FR in years past.

Well said!!!

“Agree 100%. If the party caters to a tiny minority, they can prepare to become a tiny minority.”

Rinos and wimps and liberals in GOP disguise keep saying that Repubs lose elections because they’re too conservative, so the party has to become more “centrist” and “moderate”. Dem lite.

The EXACT OPPOSITE IS TRUE. They are either stoopid, or liars, and I vote for liar, most of the time. And the truth can be easily proved by running real conservatives. Problem is the RNC seems to be people with wimps, eunuchs, and RINOS. Not happy about Steele at all.
