IT'S OFFICIAL: Conservatives Can't Even Bear To Talk About Gay Marriage Anymore

Business Insider ^ | June 20, 2013 | Josh Barro

[EveningStar]

Yesterday, Sen. Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) became the third Republican in the Senate to endorse gay marriage.

Conservative media outlets haven't been attacking her for it. They haven't been praising her either. They've been ignoring her ...

So what's going on?

A substantial share of the staffers at these publications, especially the younger ones, are now supporters of gay marriage ...

Those who oppose gay marriage are sick to death of talking about the issue. They know they are losing the fight over public opinion and that their complaints are not going to convince anybody ...

  I, for one, am for immigration reform. … That being said, I’m worried that the bill before us won’t pass.... [Rand Paul: I hate to say it, but the immigration bill is a little bit like ObamaCare right now ]

  Latinos, should be a natural constituency for the party, Paul argued, but "Republicans have pushed them away with harsh rhetoric over immigration." ...he would create a bipartisan panel to determine how many visas should be granted for workers already in the United States and those who might follow...

• ...by softening its edge on some volatile social issues and altering its image as the party always seemingly "eager to go to war... We do need to expand the party and grow the party and that does mean that we don't always all agree on every issue" ... the party needs to become more welcoming to individuals who disagree with basic Republican doctrine on emotional social issues such as gay marriage... "We're going to have to be a little hands off on some of these issues ... and get people into the party," Paul said. [Rand Paul: Time for GOP to soften war stance]

  One day after announcing on his radio show that he is "truly considering" running in 2014 for the U.S. Senate seat now held by New Jersey's Frank Lautenberg, Rivera amped up his message today in a television interview and a column on the Fox News Latino website... a moderate Republican who is fiscally conservative but also supports gay marriage and Roe v. Wade... [Geraldo Rivera declares himself a 'moderate Republican' as he eyes U.S. Senate run]

Re: “Derbyshire did it to himself.”

As I recall, Derb got fired for speaking openly about racist Black on white violence.

World Net Daily has an archive of several hundred racist Black on white assaults and murders that were not covered by the national press.

In contrast, EVERY white on Black assault that is even faintly racist is a front page national news story.

[zeestephen]

If 80% of Gays voted Conservative, does anyone here believe the Democrat Party would support Gay Rights?

If 80% of Hispanics voted Conservative, does anyone here believe the Democrat Party would support Amnesty?

Democrats have no character, only political ambition.

Contrast that with Conservatives.

At least 80% of Conservatives are “Friends of Israel,” even though 80% of American Jews despise us and vote against our candidates.

[Smokin' Joe]

It's no secret that Murky is no conservative. Just another RINO in the theme park.

As for "Gay Marriage", If I call a mule a throughbred, that doesn't mean it'll win the Preakness. Whatever they want to call it, they're going to do it, and they'll deal with their Creator in the end. No outcry will change the stated opinion of their supporters, who will have their day of reckoning, too.

No Church I attend will perform ceremonies blessing such 'unions'. No politician who panders to the distortion will get my vote.

Pandering to a small fraction of the country's populace while immersed in the distorted demographics of DC does not impress the rest of us.

Genesis 13:13

Now the men of Sodom were wicked and were sinning greatly against the LORD.

Genesis 18:20-21
20. Then the LORD said, "The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous
21. that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know."

Genesis 19:4-7
4. Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom--both young and old--surrounded the house.
5. They called to Lot, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them."
6. Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him
7. and said, "No, my friends. Don't do this wicked thing.

Psalms 12:8 The wicked freely strut about when what is vile is honored among men.

Isaiah 3:9 The look on their faces testifies against them; they parade their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to them! They have brought disaster upon themselves.

2 Peter 2:13b Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.

Ezekiel 16:49-50
49. "`Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy.
50. They were haughty and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen.

2 Peter 2

1. But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them--bringing swift destruction on themselves.
2. Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute.
3. In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.
4. For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them into gloomy dungeons to be held for judgment;
5. if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others;
6. if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly;
7. and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the filthy lives of lawless men
8. (for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)--
9. if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from trials and to hold the unrighteous for the day of judgment, while continuing their punishment.
10. This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the sinful nature and despise authority. Bold and arrogant, these men are not afraid to slander celestial beings;
11. yet even angels, although they are stronger and more powerful, do not bring slanderous accusations against such beings in the presence of the Lord.
12. But these men blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like brute beasts, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed, and like beasts they too will perish.
13. They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done. Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.

But there IS hope!!!

1 Corinthians 6:9-11

9. Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived:
Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders
10. nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
11. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

If you could NOT change, you would be in most pitiful shape...

I’m more of a live and let live kind of person.

And then you/they die.

THEN what???

[Elsie]

I don’t think we are losing the battle of public opinion.

So...

Should we care what MAN has to think about us; or GOD???

[fwdude]

Then they’re NOT conservatives.

[rhema]

Public opinion means nothing to me. God's opinion, however, is eternally more important. . .

Minnesota state senator Dan Hall agrees with you.

[cradle of freedom]

Sodomy can shorten your life by ___ years.

[cradle of freedom]

Put this on a package of condoms. If cigarette companies can be forced to print the health dangers of cigarette smoking on cigarette packages maybe condom companies can be forced to print the health dangers of sodomy on condom packages.

[little jeremiah]

It’s 2%.

[little jeremiah]

Yeah, so what if the entire fabric of society is ripped apart, no big deal to you, right?

The reason homosexuals have agitated for same sex “marriage” is to create a revolution in society and change what “marriage and family” even mean. Plus acces to the children. If you think that’s no big deal, you are definitely part of the problem.

[little jeremiah]

Good points. Tolerating those who are intolerant is suicide. Homosexuals are intolerant and are constantly making more and more demands. Why? Because they want to change every aspect of society to cater to their pervesion, to applaud it, to kowtow to it etc.

Back into the closet it what is needed.
