There is an old Bible story that would fit well here. “Before you take the speck from your bothers eye–remove the plank from your own.”

Those who throw up their hands and say “oh well, homosexuality is here and has got to be accepted” will tomorrow look at lowering the age of consent so that pedophiles don’t feel “oppressed” (as did the UK).

The question among conservatives is not about financial issues, it is more about where to draw the line on “freedoms”. Even the First Amendment is not unrestrained. As John Milton said “Good men love freedom; all others love not freedom, but license”.

Which of these was truly licentious: Coulter’s remark or the lifestyle it portrayed? Study the damage done to society by the spread of AIDS, which is squarely on the backs of homosexual men (no pun intended). Or, look at the many non-AIDS related ailments that issue from that type of life (Gay anal Syndrome, colostomy bag totes, etc.

Having written the former, I have gay friends. I really don’t care what they do behind closed doors, just don’t present it as analogous to normal human relations or procreation. For the record I don’t consider myself a homophobe (which is literally “fear of man”) but rather a heterosexualist.

Tell me it is okay to damage yourself and others in such grotesque and abnormal ways.

Misha does it so much better. Best stick with imitating 5 year olds - that seems to be the intellectual level of your comment.

Well you whining no balls bucket of floundering fecal material your pantywaist idea of conservatism would be best served in Howard Dean’s office…

“I feel compelled to point out that I was a “real conservative” before most of these inbreds were in books.“…

Yep and I’m betting you were an Arlen Specter sort of conservative too…

I’ll let you get back to being teabagged by the KOSTARDS…

If you can think of it, I have either done it or thought of it so feel to say any nasty thing about me you wish and I will try not to suffer under the burdon of your condemnation. I do try not to parade my sins in front of others and demand others validate them as OK though.

BTW, stoning went out with the New Testament.

A shrink was giving a man a Rorschach Test. He held up the first picture and asked what it looked like to the man. “People having sex” he responded. He held up the second card, and got the same response. Card after card and the answer was always the same: “sex”. Finally, the shrink said “I’ve diagnosed your problem. You are obsessed with sex”. “Whatever doc” came the reply, “you’re the one showing me all the dirty pictures”.

One thing I’ve learned by interacting with radicals on both wings is this: The more one attributes “hatred” to his opponents, the more certain it is that he hates them.

I’m sure you completely miss the irony of all that name-calling in a post about not calling names because of the “deep emotional scarring” it causes. I might add, that you saved your deepest outrage and scorn for people you called “friends” and were constantly begging for votes for your mealy “essays”. Not to mention that you proceeded to do the oh-so-gentlemanly thing and publish their private emails from a private email list. Wow - your manners impress me - what a class act. Should we thank your sainted father for such gentlemanly behavior?

I find it hilarious that you don’t even see your own pomposity (which I have taken the time to kindly point out to you before). Next time, “burnish your bona fides” in private and save yourself the embarrassment of doing it in public. You’ve only come across as a sanctimonious whiner.

Or stay true to yourself. If enough pebbles follow your example, they settle out on the bottom of the river forming a dam and eventually the current changes.
