He is for limited abortions, and for some form of gay marriage, even predicting that they are inevitable (quoting the Boies / Olsen argument).
And brags about his financial success, without pressing for moral values or talking about national defense.
Smells like a RINO at first pass.
Cheers!
2.) I argued that whether or not someone agrees with gay marriage (which is a huge issue of debate within even my own family - you should see our last Thanksgiving), it is clear why Ted Olson is one of the most brilliant lawyers on the planet because he is arguing a technical point related to gender equality. Even if someone completely disagrees with him, that is freaking brilliant.
If you want to know where I stand on specific issues, or you want to know what my moral values are for me and my family, why don't you just ask like a man? And nowhere - literally nowhere - have I bragged about my finances or businesses. I've provided a viewpoint, entirely factual, based upon my own experiences so that we can discuss them and make the Republic stronger.
If you want to know how I feel about a specific issue, ask me. Like most 20-somethings, my perspective is different (not better, just different) from those who are older.
And what really ticks me off = Even in what you call my "support" for abortions, I said that for my family, in the case of a rape, I don't think we could ever have an abortion under any circumstances, even rape, because the love of Christ is a higher, and harder standard that to which we are accountable as Christians.
As a new member, your deceitful twisting of my personal views on abortion (when I said flatly and boldly that because the love of Christ is a higher standard to which we, as born again Christians must adhere, it isn't acceptable at all for me and my family even in the most understandable circumstances such as rape or incest) is inexcusable.
How I could be any clearer on that is beyond me. Understanding the emotions of anger someone feels is not acceptance. Understanding their pain is not acceptance. Acknowledging that those are rational positions for the woman (and her husband and children) who was violated to feel in the hours and days after an attack, is not acceptance. I understand how a father murders the pedophile that violated his son. I don't accept it and I don't condone it. But I understand his pain and why, in the initial days, he believes he's doing the right thing, no matter how misguided. To some how say that I'm providing a moral stamp of approval for that murder is just a lie. There's no other way to categorize it.
Not cool, man. Not cool. If you disagree with something on principal, or believe that I've made a mistake in the facts, that's why these forums exist. To twist something I said and flat-out lie about something so important really, really ticks me off.
You can say and be anything you want on the internet. He joins, fills out his home page, which many Freepers never do. Then begins with posts about gays. Give me a break. Rino my as&. Obot for sure, not a doubt in my mind. A trained one, with talking points. He’s early 20’s and a multimillionaire because of his gay employees. You didn’t laugh when you read that? Puhhhleeezzz
