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."

Homosexual “marriage” is the issue here. Not racism or feminism.
Their domestic violence rates are high, especially among lesbians. There was an article posted about it a few days ago.
they call themselves gay but they are not gay they’re homosexuals and I won’t play the word game
I’ve never seen a post here that suggest that homosexuals should be executed. Feel free to cite one, however.
A few years ago, some posters took over the argument and ran everyone who disgreed with them off the threads and the site. Then the owner came out and agreed with them with his declaration against "homosexualism." Many good conservative people have been banned or left because if they disagreed with any one point, they were called pro-agenda, anti-FR, and worse. We lost a lot of discussion when that happened. But that's the way it is September 6, 2010..............

Since Apr 27, 2010
From a web search got Arizona immigration bill stories here. Liked what I saw and signed up. More as I learn the ropes. I chose my name to say that we are forgettintg the lessons of 9/11 and are in danger of being too slack with the fanatics because the president wants to hold hands.

If marriage is lost, we lose everything
A guest on the "O'Reilly Factor" in early August, Beck was asked, "Do you believe that gay marriage is a threat to the country in any way?" Answer: "No I don't. Will gays come and get us?"
OMG! LOL!!! I’ve never even heard all of those terms. LOL!!! Thank you for the education.;-)
“we HAVE lost”
Rachel, with all due respect, we have not yet even begun to fight. Satan has lost, and he lost 2000 years ago. The game is over, the ball is gone, the clock has run out. He can say white is black and black is white, but he cannot change the outcome, and neither can any of his minions.
Our call, our duty is simply to state the truth. Marriage is between a man and a woman, and not the perversion of men with men or women with women. Our job isn’t to be successful in this proclamation, but merely to be faithful.
I don’t believe that young people are so blind as to the problems that result from homosexuality. Anyone who’s ever dealt with it face to face will understand what I am talking about here.
I refuse to believe that the best option available is perversion. Everyone has the hope of something better and we must continue to explain why it is bad for people to walk this path. Only then can we lead some away from the brink.
LOL LOL LOL (snort) LOL Yep, he is a lawyer. Lawyers are trained to look on and see all sides of an issue. However, I still think he has gone to the dark side.
Which ones have to do with abnormal sexual behavior?
Homosexual activists have reframed the debate and removed it from a moral issue to a "civil rights" issue. Homosexuals have the same rights that we do. They want special rights based simply on a behavior. That is the point. Their only identification is that of a sexual behavior. That is not a civil right.
Well, money for one. They may simply despise socialism.
” Romans1:18The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness, 19since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.
21For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.
24Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.
26Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. 27In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.
28Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. 29They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless. 32Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.”
Let’s keep the passage in Romans in context shall we! The passage describes the descent of the soul of one who denies even the clearly evident existence of God and how God gives one over to depravity. Homosexuality is one such end and other diverse lusts and depravities are so listed. A lot of folks have similarly rejected God and are not necessarily homosexual. Some are murderers, some gossip to the point of absolute viciousness. Some steal, some disobey and dishonor their parents. Anothers words, they are given up to total absolute wickedness and they are not restrained in inventing new ways to be wicked. Hence they are reprobate and given over to their lusts and sins and eventually the just penalties for their errors! Note also Paul mentioning of worship of false idols and images as being part of the total rejection of God.
It is not complicated. Conservatives are not perverts and no, they do not support homosexual, pedophilic, or beastophilic behavior. None of these issues are supported by conservatives.
So, you are supporting homosexual marriage AND adoption.
Free Republic is a CONSERVATIVE forum, did you miss that?
The preposterous notion that sexual deviants should be allowed to take possession of other people’s children is simply the most disgusting idea yet. Talk about foisting a lifetime of sexual abuse and harrassment on children, this is the absolutely the lowest of the low.
Hah hah hah hah! Well put!
Try comparing sexually deviant behavior to a group of black people and see how far you get. They are not stupid enough to believe such an outrageously disgusting comparison. You obviously don’t know anything about Black people because they are thorougly revolted by such a suggested comparison. Where are you on pedophilia and nambla?
