Open letter to conservatives who back same-sex marriage
WND ^ | September 6, 2010 | David Kupelain

Posted on 09/06/2010 9:57:15 AM PDT by LonelyCon

Just two years ago, supporting homosexual marriage was such an extreme, politically radioactive position that Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton – both Alinskyite progressives and long-time gay-rights supporters – saw fit to publicly and repeatedly declare their opposition to same-sex marriage.

Today, as the homosexual newspaper the Washington Blade puts it, "conservatives have taken the leadership role in achieving marriage equality."

That's right. Not only have high-profile conservatives like Glenn Beck, "The View's" Elizabeth Hasselbeck, Laura Bush, Dick Cheney and many others publicly offered their ringing endorsement of men marrying men and women marrying women, but some on the right are, as the Blade reports, actually leading the charge.

Case in point: George W. Bush's solicitor general Ted Olson has been dedicating his time as one of the two lead attorneys who successfully challenged California's Proposition 8, which had enshrined in the state's constitution the fact that, as Hillary Clinton put it, "marriage is as a marriage always has been, between a man and a woman."

Indeed, proclaims the Blade, when it comes to the battle to legalize same-sex marriage, it is conservatives who "have achieved the most important success so far as they are the most willing and most able to take the case to the Supreme Court."

...

And S.E. Cupp, a young conservative Daily Caller columnist and frequent Fox pundit, goes so far as to say, "Conservatism and gay rights are actually natural allies. Conservatism rightly seeks to keep the government out of our private lives, and when you strip away the politics of pop culture, it's this assertion of privacy and freedom that the gay rights movement is essentially making."

I can’t believe all the agenda pushers since Prop 8 and the fairy judge. And they get very creative on pushing it.

I think there have only been a half dozen or so individuals, they just all have multiple screen names.

OWK, “one who knows”, he had a habit of blowing the clarion for anything gay back in the day.
He tried to be subtle, but he pretty much outted himself.
Often.
He got himself zotted eventually.
I wasn’t present for it.

Some have sounded familiar but I can’t catch the retreads. I think they all sound alike and can’t connect old names with new.

Homosexuals molest children at a much higher rate than normal people. Homosexuals should not adopt or foster children. Homosexuality is a mental illness. Mentally ill people should not adopt or foster children.

If you have any sympathy whatsoever for the gay rights agenda, you should probably find another site to frequent. The gay rights agenda is an explosive buried deep within the moral foundation of this nation. No one at FR will long tolerate posters who suggest that setting the fuse alight is not a big deal or that it is the “fair” thing to do.

Well, I missed the zotting.
I must be throwing a tantrum.

There are some worse ones I wish would go away than this last one.

“Once upon a time, marrying someone of a different race was considered to be an actionable crime... Once upon a time women were considered property...”

The problem in putting blacks and women in with the subject at hand is one of category error. The reason those two things you listed were wrongs is that being black and being female are human norms. They are constructive. They advance humanity.

Homosexual behavior is defective and destructive. Anything that advances and encourages that behavior is also defective and destructive. Being an open homosexual is so destructive it significantly shortens that persons life span and places them in a category with other immune impaired populations susceptible to a large variety of maladies.

Encouraging someone to engage in homosexual behavior has got to be one of the uglier most hateful actions in any society.

and that time was when exactly?

Conservatives have always advocated that marriage is between one man and one woman.

It really is that simple and if you want them to marry then you are helping them in their agenda plus advocating any kind of marriage no matter what crap one exposes like well In know one and they just want to be left alone

Stop comparing a mental illness which is also a sexual perversion to people who are born black or female. Or antiquated ideas about keeping people who are born black or female in bondage.

Standard homosexual agenda talking points wonn’t get you longevity on FR.

I like what Sir Elton says about it. He does not feel gays need marriage. He is perfectly happy with his British domestic partnership or whatever they have.

Why mess with thousands of years of social history?

It is not possible to be a conservative and also to be a backer of same-sex marriage.

The whole idea of conservatism is to “conserve” those values, ideals, and processes of the past that have lasting value.

I might remind the liberals who are wolves within conservatism that the vast body of world history rejects homosexuality and has always done so. There are very few exceptions.

This is because human history has shown the behavior to be counter to a sound, healthy, robust culture.

There are plenty more on this thread alone, if you go back and read through the posts.

People who don’t come right out and say they support the homosexual agenda, but to them it’s of no consequence.

*So what if a gay couple adopts children and is doing a fantastic job of it? It’s all OK.*

*shudder*
