Besides you trying to be a smart alec, yes, I am gay, happy and fun, but I am not a homosexual. Maybe you like to be subservient to liberals with their war of words but I prefer to win. Republicans have lost so many battles because they have allowed the liberals to set the terms. Thanks for playing the establishment Republican game.
In 16 years on this forum and in all the activism in which I have been involved, which is considerable, I don’t think my reputation is being subservient to liberals. Ask the Democratic Underground.
At times there are different ways we win. I have been in their faces many, many times over the years. In this particular case, I thought the tactic of taking the high road was preferable. I wanted to establish the left as the real haters. In this particular matter, when we appear to be the haters it makes it more difficult to accomplish that end.
Our side generally wants to defend the institution that has served society well for thousands of years -— marriage. I am opposed to same sex marriage, not because I hate homosexuals, but because it is better for society. God will judge them as he does all of us. We are all flawed human beings. Let them just go live their lives and stay out of our faces. When it appears that we come from a position of hate, it gives them ammunition, it dilutes our argument, and makes it more difficult to make our argument one that is taken seriously.
Sodomite, faggot, fudge packer, pervert, get AIDS and die, rot in hell, etc. may make you feel good. But does it advance our argument in the culture war?
Establishment Republican? That’s funny.
