What Republicans Don’t Get About the LGBT Movement
The Daily Signal via Newsweek ^ | May 28, 2015 | Sean Fieler

Posted on 05/29/2015 8:55:35 AM PDT by EveningStar

In less than two years, transgender rights have gone from a non-issue to non-negotiable in the Democratic Party.

Rather than dismiss this change as a politically irrelevant story that belongs in the tabloids, Republicans should view it as a case study in the political power of principle. For it was principle, not a political campaign, that has advanced transgender rights so far so fast.

If Republicans would likewise put principle before policy, they would not only have the power to win elections but also the power to bring America back into fidelity with our country’s founding vision.

Well, that and nuke the News/Entertainment media, who will warp whatever principle that is put forth into some kind of hate outrage or something.

Seriously, we got here because Urban Liberal Democrats who run the media use their power to misinform the public. We are not going to get out of here until that power to misinform is taken away from them.

It’s just this election season’s “gotcha” subject for the interviews and debates.

Sean, Welcome to the United States, when did you arrive, December 2014?

Republican leaders always put principle first. McCain, Romney, Boehner, McConnell, Christie, Rubio, Jeb Bush, and the rest of our leaders believe in a clear set of principles, and they never deviate. Their one and only principle is that whatever decision keeps them in office is what they should and will do.

I’m hoping and praying that Cruz or Walker will be better.

We should ignore all the “news” of this sick, deviant sexual behavior.

Weirdness as “principal”

Talk about bizarre world!

The democRAT party will accept EVERY sexual fetish out there in the name of “principle”.

Soon, it will be pedophiles, necrophiles and zoophiles who are given special rights in the name of principle. It will not end until the regime crumbles.

OK, let's give the same advancement to all other forms of mental illness. Since trying to cure crazies somehow abrogates their "rights", homosexuals, violent paranoids, serial rapists and killers should be allowed to act on their mental illness without any consequences. (Is the < /sarc > tag really needed?)

A prime argument for TERM LIMITS!

“Transgender rights” is not a principle. It is an arrogant, humanistic perversion of nature.

“You reap what you sow,” and “eternal damnation” are, however, principles.

Agreed! LGBT is NOT an identity anymore than fornicating with a goat identifies you. It is a sexual ACTIVITY, that is frankly disgusting and I just rather not know about it, if someone wishes to engage in that way. Do it in private and then shut the frack up.

What most of them (except Cruz) don’t get is that the
“lgbt movement”

is simply an excuse for the left’s anti-Christian agenda.

Principle? ROTFL! Deviant principle then.

Dearly beloved.....this plug and this plug are being joined together......I now pronounce you an electrical current connection.

Dearly beloved.....this outlet and this outlet are being joined together.....I now pronounce you an electrical current connection.

If a cat thinks he is a dog, is he? If a dog thinks he is a cat, is he? Of course. Feelings trump all. We now demand all humane societies must not place “dog” or “cat” on the paperwork of their residents. They must wait and observe. If the dog licks himself a lot, he is a cat. If the cat likes to drink from toilets (I had a cat like that once) he is a dog. Anyone against that must hate dogs and cats.

I’ve heard it described this way -

when you decide to use the word “cat” to describe, instead of a cat,

“any furry four footed domestic animal”,

then you no longer have a word that describes an actual cat.

No. But I bet if I wore it to a Twins game, I’d be escorted out.

Satan’s army and America’s judgment. Just wait until SCOTUS issues their ruling creating the abomination of gay marriage.
