I now know how McCain gets elected if there are more like him or her out there.
Have a feeling that the poster is from the north east, knows a few homosexuals and thinks they’re OK and when I read that the poster still thinks of this fraud as a conservative then it shows me how McCain can keep getting elected.
Say the right thing, get on TV, move to another part of the country and then run as a republican and there are always dopes out there who fall for it even when the person has been found lying to them and we wonder why we’re in this mess
Here’s the thought process in general:
I’m a ‘conservative’
I have a friend
My friend is a homosexual
Conservatives are against homosexuality
I have many conservative friends
I am against homosexuality
My friend isn’t a ‘flaming’ homo
None of my conservative friends know I have a gay friend
As long as he doesn’t shove it in my face and embarass me in front of my conservative friends, they’ll never know and I don’t have to admit it.
Well he’s out now and no one disowned me so aparently people will tolerate him if he isnt too ‘out’
It’s really none of my business who zooms who as long as I’m not personally involved
Personal freedom is the bullwark of conservative thought and belief.
Liberals are the ones who try dictating people’s lives, not conservatives.
My friend shares a number of my beliefs about financial/govenmental issues.
I never realized you can be homosexual and conservative
My friend is further right than some people on Free Republic - He’s hardcore on issue X!
I don’t know why the conservatives won’t accept people who believe the same things they do just because of his sex preferences
It’s completely unfair
I can’t believe how intolerant people are of my friend.
If that’s the way it’s going to be I’m done. I’m not a bigot and I don’t want to be associated with them.
I guess that the libs were right after all.
Someone here is in the final stages of his madness...and it ain’t you or me.
Also, in the interest of full disclosure:
I hit
“I don’t know why the conservatives won’t accept people who believe the same things they do just because of his sex preferences”
And at that point the light went on. I sat down and had a long and serious self-evaluation of what I really thought and believed in.
I asked myself if I should abandon everything I ever believed, everything I’d ever been taught about right and wrong, over one friend. It was an extremely painful decision since that friend held my head together at a very bad time in my life. He practically saved me from myself.
So how could I be so heartless?
He was not going to change ‘who he was’ (believed himself to be), ergo, why should I? I chose to stand for what I believed in as a human being based on my religious faith and my secular beliefs. I chose to “not live a lie”.
When I asked myself “Why is it OK in society for homosexuals to “not live a lie” but it would be perfectly fine for me to do so?” I had my answer.
