“The problem I have with these homosexual activist groups is they almost always start veering towards the gay agenda at some pont. There used to be another so-called Republic gay group called ‘Log Cabin’ (no pun intended) and all they did was endorse RINOs. Here’s what one of the leaders of this new group GOProud claims:

Chris Barron (GOProud Board Chair) “We are a gay organization, we only work on gay issues, we have never claimed otherwise.” (via Twitter Aug 4, 4:04p)”

So, the fact they do promote a lot of Conservatism as such: lower taxes, strong military, individual liberty, capitalism..none of that matters? And if you were really honest, couldn't you say the same thing about Religious Conservatives? I mean, after all, aren't they also promoting the “Religious Agenda” at some point? And further, isn't largely a Christian Agenda..which leaves Jews like me sort of left out? I mean, if you're gonna start the “ ‘X’ agenda” argument from any party's factions, lambaste them all.

I wouldn’t compare the Christian agenda in any way to the homosexual agenda. And can’t quite see how the Christian agenda would clash with a Jewish agenda. We’ve got the same ten commandments.

I see your point, but again why does this group GOProud form around a 1% sexual proclivity? What in the world does that lifestyle choice have to do with Conservatism? I just don’t understand it.

No, that is merely the American people conserving the same ideas that they had when they created this nation, conservatism is the continuation of the original Americans and that means being religious also, it is the whole conservative package, not liberalism with conservative economics.

I am also a Jew, and embrace the "Christian agenda". Speak for yourself.

A strong military? With people who are sexually interested in you training you, promoting you, demoting you - are you serious?

Individual liberty? What liberty do businesspeople have when they refuse to cater or photograph or officiate a gay wedding? What liberty do adoption agencies have when they are forced to place with homosexual couples? What liberty do teachers have when they are compelled to describe and promote homosexual activity?

I think this is what Ann Coulter ISN’T doing. We should be quiet and listen and learn.

How does working to outlaw abortion, perserving what marriage is and allowing prayer and religious expression in public schools in anyway leave you out unless you're a Jew in name only?
