If their goal is to demoralize normal Americans, they are succeeding.

I’m sure this is not a surprise to anyone here. Not all Republicans are conservative, and not all conservatives are social conservatives.

Yup, that’s right from what I hear (gays have infiltrated all over the RNC, and related organizations.. even against most rank-and-file’s political beliefs and morals) and we wonder why nothing conservative is ever done)!

“The New York Times reported Friday that a small but influential group of GOP money men have provided the bulk of the financing for the advocacy umbrella group New Yorkers United for Marriage.

Big donors to the effort include Paul Singer, the chairman of the Manhattan Institute and a major donor to Republican political campaigns.

At some events supporting gay marriage, Singer has spoken of having a personal tie to the issue. He has a gay son who got married in Massachusetts.

Other backers include hedge fund manager Clifford Asness, who tells the Times his support is in line with his libertarian view of small government.”

So a libertarian view is to expand government because that is exactly what is required to support such a illogical idea as gay marriage? The whole gay/deviant rights troupe is about using government to force their view on others. Gay’s have never been forbidden from having private unions. They aren’t about getting the government out of their lives they are about using this issue to use government as their mob strongman to silence and intimidate their opponents and to totally obliterate ideas of freedom of association. It is not conservative or libertarian to believe that government must endorse or get involved with something for one to have the liberty to do something. Liberty and equality is not about getting the government more involved in our lives.

We need to cut these establishment types out because they aren’t just wrong on gay marriage, they are wrong on abortion, they are wrong on fiscal issues, they are wrong on health care, they are wrong on the environment. They use the I’m a “libertarian” crap as a cover when they know damn well liberty isn’t about getting the government more involved in our lives. A libertarian view is not one that would be pushing to force a government to expend resources to support ‘gay marriage’. A libertarian view would if anything to believe that the federal government should get the hell out of such things entirely. Instead we have this phony ‘gay’ marriage issue being used along with other liberal sexual social activism to get big brother even more entrenched in our lives, telling us what we must think, what we must say, who we must associate with, and what behaviors we can criticize or not. It is ridiculous but they are doing this on all fronts wasting countless public dollars debating whether genetic males should be allowed to go to restrooms as women, attacking the idea of bullying as if confused kids who think they are gay are the primary targets of bullies when they clearly are not, and acting as though because two individuals choose to not marry normally a member of the opposite sex that somehow the government is discriminating because the current policy reflects the normal mating and pairing of the vast majority of human beings since the beginning of time.

These are the people who say these social issues should not matter yet here we have them spending thousands if not millions pushing social issues which they claim to decry. The truth is they don’t mind if their actions end up with Christian and Catholic adoption agencies being forced out of business and causing even bigger Orwellian government to make sure that the feelings of homosexuals and other deviants aren’t hurt.

The fact is there is no GOP in NY state anymore. They gave up years ago and even then the best they could do was Nelson Rockefeller.

Morality is the only thing that will save this country. I don’t think we have a chance.

Is there any doubt both parties are now one Globalist party fulfilling UN goals? We need a true American party.
