Ken Mehlman gay ? Online conservatives don’t seem to care much

Washington Examiner ^ | August 28, 2010 | CHARLIE SPIERING

Ken Mehlman is gay? Most right-leaning political junkies probably responded by asking, ‘Who is Ken Mehlman?’ or ‘Yeah, but who cares?’

Conservative bloggers either ignored the topic or pointed out that conservatives aren’t necessarily surprised or outraged by the news.

“I had absolutely no idea Ken Mehlman was gay, or existed,” wrote the Daily Caller’s Jim Treacher in response to the New York Times piece that marveled at the “muted reaction” of Republicans to the announcement.

The former RNC chairman and President Bush’s 2004 campaign manager announced that he was gay to the Atlantic’s Marc Ambinder, and also announced his intentions to support the case for same-sex marriage.

As Washington media columnist Howard Kurtz noted, Mehlman’s sexuality was an “open secret” in Washington and the news failed to surprise many of the people who knew him.

I wouldn't push that POV on this forum.

Help me out here, what point of view do you think I am pushing? Someone elses said the same thing. Need to see what I am missing in what is being read into my comments. Thanks.

It will “us” win elections if you are a Democrat or possibly a disgusting RINO.

If you’re a conservative, then no, it will not help “us” win elections.

[DJ MacWoW]

Only a reading comprehension deficiency would lead someone to conclude otherwise.

Not so newbie. Many trolls come here to push a defeatist attitude in order to discourage any activism. And FR IS, above all, an activist site.

And I noticed that you didn't touch the info in Post 95.

Sexual deviants are mentally ill and should seek help and stop their perverse life, whether they are homosexual, into swinging, orgies, S and M, whatever. They are of bad character and should not be in public life.

CHARACTER COUNTS!

[DJ MacWoW]

You are pushing that homosexual “marriage” is a done deal. It isn’t. We don’t give special rights based on a behavior.

[little jeremiah]

You must be a Liber(al)tarian.

He made it our effing business by proclaiming his mentally ill perversion and his plans to push it onto everyone else.

Fiscal conservatism is only part of conservatism. Leave out chracter, principle and morality and you have a nice fiscally sound Hell.

Homosexuality= not conservative

Social conservative or fiscal conservative? Constitutional conservative? What type of conservative are you talking about?

[SaraJohnson]

Depends on who the “us” is that are winning elections. If it is Rinos, I want them to lose elections. The GOP turned totally Rino under this gay guy’s leadership.

As far as gays go, I could care less what they do in the privacy of their homes sexually. Unless private sexual behavior involved kids or force, it is not our business. However, if they bring their bedroom into my marriage and family and bother my children with their bedroom sex in the culture and schools, then it is my business to do all I can to shut the twisted freak perverts down.

[wardaddy]

this thread should separate social conservatives like me from the “hippies of the right” who have now latched onto fiscal responsibility as dogma

in a perfect world I would ignore homosexual perversion as a private matter but it doesn't end there.

i have watched this for over 40 years now and i guess it won't end till homosexuality trumps conventional marriage and child rearing

we indulge such unreality because we can but next calamity...and there will be one...we will revert back to what works

it has all been so explained to us now since Abraham and so forth yet we ignore it

>>Social conservative or fiscal conservative?

 

Your misdirection FAILS.

 

There's no "OR" about being an American Conservative.

Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of patriotism, who should labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness,

--President George Washington's Farewell Address, 1796

The imploding financial infrastructure, facilitated by the demoralization of society, is evidence that "fiscal conservatives" were anything but...

 

 

Ambassador Roland Arnall - Godfather of Subprime

 

 

 

"What it basically means is: to change the perception of reality of every American that despite of the abundance of information no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interest of defending themselves, their families, their community, and their country.

 

It's a great brainwashing process which goes very slow and is divided into four basic stages.

 

The first stage being "demoralization"....."

--KGB Defector Yuri Bezmenov

Social conservative or fiscal conservative? Constitutional conservative? What type of conservative are you talking about?

There is no "or". Socially liberal programs cost money. They do not fit with "I'm fiscally conservative but socially liberal". There ain't no such bird. Socially liberal programs need money, yours, to enforce them.

To be a conservative, one is socially and fiscally conservative. It doesn't work any other way.

This is Dem dirty tricks to get conservatives to stay home and not vote.

That’s all it is. Mehlman or whatever his disgusting name is probably voted Dem the whole time he was working for GWB.

[roses of sharon]

Yes, what is this fiscal conservative taking point all about?

Are homosexuals threatening to elect commie libs because their sex lives are not being given the proper respect??

And how is this logical for one who claims to be worried about the increasing power of the Federal Government?

Because if and when they get their wish...for the Federal Gov to sanction their sex act....then what is next?

What happens when a Priest, Rabbi, Preacher, Politician, or citizens issue warnings about this dangerous behavior...will there be new legislation for enforcement and punishment of those who refuse to comply? As in Canada, with their hate speech laws.

Canada's homosexual groups are now demanding new legislation and funds for the “special medical” needs.

Obamacare will also have to accommodate their special medical needs.

This is NOT fiscal conservatism.

It is plain old (and same old) fear of being called a hater.

[little jeremiah]

Mehlman was no better than Steele. Results? Dems won in the House and Senate. How is that success?

Homosexuals are wrapped up in their pervere sex life.

CHARACTER, PRINCIPLES, MORALS and COURAGE are the qualities needed for public service.

Not smarmy fakery and perversion! What to speak of Dem plants and moles, which is what he most likely was.

Ooookay, the third (at least) article in - what is it, two days? - from the SRM (State Run Media) proclaiming that the GOP is really, really pro-"gay" agenda and conseravtives (ahem) don't mind! Anyone who doesn't see this transparent, shameless and lying attempt to get people like US to stay home and not vote is either (a)blind, (b) can't read English, (c) a Liber(al)tarian who likes government enforcement of immorality, or (d) a Democrat.

Do NOT believe this garbage - and that is an insult to good honest garbage, which came by its stink naturally!

The SRM is merely the propaganda arm of the Democrat party/leftists/homosexual activists. Did Goebbels reincarnate or what? (No, he's still in hell.) But his spirit of LIE LIE LIE and then LIE again - lives on.

[little jeremiah]

Homosexuals are NOT friends of conservatives on “many” issues. Occasionally you might find a very rare homosexual who does not want to promote the homosexual agenda, such as Tammy Bruce. But she is still pro-abortion and pro-another issue that escapes my memory at the moment. And she’s the best of the vocal lot.

The rest of them overwhelming vote Dem and want Big Nanny State Government to enforce the “gay” agenda on everyone else, and guess what? That costs Money!

So you are totally, completely, 100% wrong.

[little jeremiah]

Homosexuals pushing the homosexual agenda are not conservative in any way, shape or form and should get the hell out of the Republican party. Homosexuals who do not promote or want the homosexual agenda and keep their private affairs private and have conservative values are welcome.

Mehlman is the first kind, and probably voted Dem the whole time anyway.

[little jeremiah]

Please cite sources showing homosexual organizations in favor of those issues, or polls showing that large or noticeable numbers of homosexuals care about those issues.

And the GOProud’s legislative agenda is all-”gay” except for a nod to the 2nd Amendment, so don’t bother trying to quote them.

[little jeremiah]

Degenerates pushing degeneracy aren’t good Rebublicans (if he ever was one actually) and all this crap is meant to demorazlize conservatives so they won’t vote, so Dems will win.
