With Gays Marrying in Canada, & APA Going Easy on Pedophiles, Republicans Must Take a Stand!

The Republican base has been pushed as far and fast as it is willing to go.

Considering that you are a member of the Constitution Party, you have no credibility when it comes to speaking for the "Republican base."

The vast, vast majority of the Republican party views homosexuality as wrong, but also believes everyone is entitled to lead their lives as they see fit.

The Republican party wisely concentrates on fiscal and defense issues.

These divisive social issues are a sure ticket to electoral obscurity. Just ask anyone in the Constitution Party.

It should be clear that the practical option for those who feel that homosexuality is a choice, and a bad one at that, is for them to live an exemplary heterosexual life (happy spouse, lots of happy kids, etc.), and hope that homosexuals leading their lives in a less-exemplary fasion will cause people to determine not to make that choice.

Concur 100%. Unfortunately, this is far too sensible to be accepted by the rabidly anti-gay element that resides here on FR.

Recent polls show Americans overwhelmingly support abortion choice. You can rail all you want against it, but you're not going to change the American public's view. They also support more acceptence of homosexuals.

Actually, peoples' views of abortion is getting more pro-life, and there are even more stay-at-home moms! I don't know where you're getting your info. As far as "acceptance" of homosexualism, the kids are getting indoctrinated (per plan) but state after state is passing "defense of marriage" bills, so you're wrong there too.

The more you attempt to try to change it, the more resistence you'll receieve, and the more you'll appear to be the caricature that the leftist DIMocraps paint you to be.

In other words, Republicans should just accept the amorality/immorality path of the leftists-Democrats in order to get votes!

(Another way of saying "It's inevitable [social Darwinism] so might as well lie back and enjoy it")

I read the surveys that talked about the increase of "stay-at-home" moms also, and the polls about the increasing pro-life feelings. Those are both good things.

I don't know about "indroctination" though ... I think more people are just thinking that homosexuality isn't such a big issue anymore as many more people are actually acquainted with (or related to) open homosexuals who generally live otherwise quiet and normal lives and don't represent the "monstrous predator" or "dress wearing activist" image that they were used to in years past.

Kids are easily influenced by what teachers tell them in school (such as Heather Has Two Mommies, or, for instance, since 2001 in CA there is mandatory homosexual-positive cirriculum in K-12, special mandatory auditorium presentations such as has happened in OR, etc) as well as a frontal attack on TV and movies with "gay-positive" shows and movies. Even Disney has had homo-promo in animated kiddie movies. I've seen it myself - for instance, in "Mulan" (saw it as a captive audience in a train) there are guys in drag, a masculinzed woman who rejects the marriage proposal of the hero, and other junk as well.

In the Eureka, CA newspaper a while ago I read a letter to the editor - a young teenage girl was upset because at the homo-promo class, the teacher (a special one brought in by Planned Parenthood) asked the kids if anyone thought homosexuality was wrong. She rasied her hand, and was then put in the middle of the circle of everyone else, and taunted.
A couple of years ago in Springfield, OR I read another letter to the editor from another teenage girl who had been forced to go to a presentation in the auditorium of transvestites and other "sexual alternatives" telling their tales. There is so much more. Believe me, the kids are being indoctrinated, and this is a planned effort.

Sorry Trace, considering I was Vice Chairman of my Republican County Committee and STATE Vice Chairman of the Young Republicans less than 5 years ago, I'd say I have a lot more credibility describing the Republican base than you do.

Just what's on your resume to justify telling me what the Republican base believes?
