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’m actually laughing at this fool who was banned before, then says it was their uncle which warned him about us bla bla bla.

Next week the troll will be back with a different name as they cannot stop themselves pushing their perverted agenda

Jesus, He is the only way (in short: I believe this world will ~never~ go back the same way untill Christ makes it right in the final days aka revelation)!

Only individuals can be made whole, but the world is broken.

As for how we win politically!..? My best guess is that we argure with the libertarians on a rational basis, and that means that they must agree with us that “gay rights” is big government because it has been fostered on us (unconstitutionally) through un-elected, judicially activists jurists.

Remove all government from tax, and marriage purposes, then let the “churches” who preform such vile abominations become withered away by God!

There is exactly one position for any principled conservative to take on homomarriage:

It’s for the states to decide.

From there, I would imagine most conservatives would want to word to oppose it at the state level. But we must start with the consistent philosophical position of this being a states-rights issue.

it’;s what they do full time.

they join churches, clubs, parent groups etc to get people to like them , don’t tell their new friends that they are homosexuals and then when they feel they have the groups confidence and friendship they tell them that they are homosexuals.

They move to places and once they get enough of them they take over, push their agenda and elect their kind of pervert.

A homosexual I knew up north even said on their websites they are encouraged to move to areas and take them over plus get into groups and infiltrate them.

Sadly some even on here fall for their crap.

Just look at their new group which was the log cabins but now use another name.
They are trying to divide the right on the issue or wear us down.

Elton has campained for the elimination of age of consent laws which protect children from predatory adults.

Elton's musical talent does not excuse his nasty perversion.

I’d also add that comparing women and black to gays is apples and oranges..

Women and blacks, latinos, whites, whatever these are inherent qualities that they were created with.

Homosexuality is not, no one is born gay, it is a sexual disorder (mentally, possibly spiritually), and an act, that is all. It’s probably better to compare it to alcoholism..

exactly black woman and a white man can have babies and is what nature intended.

two of the same sex canno0t have babies therefore it is an unnatural act.

Fact is they have sex with each other because it is how they get off sexually and turned on sexually.

Love, well if it is love then why is it we all love other things, our pets, family etc but we feel nothing to having sex with them.

I believe they are trying to infiltrate. And it’s all too easy for them. People in general don’t want to be seen as mean. So devious deviants can push their agenda because they have smeared normal people as being intolerant and hateful. Resisting the mentally ill is not intolerant.

God doesn’t give up on anyone, He gives us free will to choose Him or not, and until our last breath we have that choice. In this life, anyway.

He doesn’t say ever that He accepts every behavior as worthy or according to His will or desire.

agreed.
the more though who speak up against this agenda the more others will see they are not alone.
The far left have used PC to silence those who disagree with their radical agenda for years and it is high time people stopped being bullied by PC.
People have given their lives including my old military pals friends to give us this country and if they can do that then we can speak up.

YOU HEAR THAT GOP, SPEAK THE HELL UP.

Could you quote WND saying that they want to execute sodomy practioners?

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...

Do you have a point?

Of course they are violent. Who is killing homosexuals via AIDS? Hint: Other homosexuals.

Plus, their sexual practices are extremely violent, and their rate of violent crime, especially against each other, is higher than average.

The homosexual agenda has made a lot of progress in the last ten years.

I guess you don’t mind that, or what is your point?

The only good thing about homosexualism is that it doesn’t cause abortions. But that doesn’t prevent it from being an abomination.

Can’t imagine worshipping a God who gives up on ANYONE.

Not everyone attains eternal salvation though each has the opportunity...
