SE Cupp pulls out of CPAC until groups representing gay Republicans are embraced

Yeah, screw your job, your family, and your home, get up and move because bigots can't stand the thought that you want to get married!!
:roll:

That's not what I said, but who cares. Right?

However, on that note, I had to pack my family up and move them 700 miles away, to make a living, because the industry I'm in isn't acceptable to the current regime. Excuse me if i run a little short on sympathy.
 
Being gay isn't a requirement in Log Cabin Reps. She might be a lesbian, though. Who knows?

Scratch that.... looks like she's engaged to a man.

Since there are only 3 members of the Log Cabin Republicans, why do they figure in anyone's discussion about anything ?................
 
The Conservatives need to learn a phrase - "Matters such as gay marriage and abortion are individual issues best handled at the local level. These are not federal issues and the federal government needs to stay out of such things. We can not have a limited government and at the same time have that government engaged in individual matters. The force of the state can be wielded for a great many things but it is our job as Conservatives to insure that great restraint is exercised before that power, no matter how well intentioned, is used upon the American people."

As if states restricting gay marriage is somehow better than the federal government. Uneven rights and benefits depending on what piece of the American pie you live in? Nah. Thanks.
 
Attractive lady. (Chicks with glasses are hot....)

....and legs

This. I don't understand how state led tyranny is morally justified, but federal tyranny is not. Makes no sense to me.

So let me get this straight.....if the federal government decides things one way you'll just happily go along with it but if they decide the other way you'll fight tooth and nail against it but either way you would rather have them choose than leave it up to the individual or the local community so that everyone could have a choice. That's a dictatorship.
 
I think that's closer to the right direction but I would oppose even State level legislation on these issues. I really believe that these need to be addressed at the local level where accountability can be most readily assessed and repercussions will have the most impact.

Seriously!?

Borough / City / County / State / Federal - pick one.

If you push it all of the way down, now you have hundreds of thousands of different possibilities.

That will not work well, will it?
 
It's more exciting to think of her as a lesbian. :lol:

Back off right now.

I hear that she likes paunchy and poor 50 year old guys, so I might have a shot!

Why won't it work? Marriage, whether gay, straight, inanimate or agricultural wouldn't be an issue at all anywhere unless the locals chose to make it that way and although some communities might not choose to accept the practice others certainly would.

There would no longer be "married" federal tax returns and the rest of the stuff would be a local issue.

Did the local florist try to grab your weewee when you were 12 ?.....................

Why is tyranny at a local level better than tyranny at a federal level?

Because you have more ability to combat that tyranny at the local level.

Of course that also assumes that it will be a tyranny....which brings me to the point of this whole thing. The pro gay marriage crowd seems to want their will imposed on everyone else because they feel that the anti-gay marriage crowd is engaging in a tyranny of their beliefs. What the heck makes you think that one tyranny will be any better than the other? Why not just avoid the whole damned mess by setting things up so that any tyranny will be small, local, and easily avoidable? Could it be that your goal isn't really equality all but, rather, straight up imposition of your will at the highest level you can manage to impose it?
 
S.E. Cupp Pulls Out of CPAC Until Groups Representing Gay Republicans Are Embraced | TheBlaze.com

TheBlaze TV’s S.E. Cupp on Tuesday announced she is pulling out of CPAC until the annual conservative gathering welcomes GOP groups that support gay marriage. Two prominent groups representing gay Republicans, GOProud and the Log Cabin Republicans, will reportedly not be in attendance at CPAC.


“I go to CPAC every year. I love speaking there. It’s a great opportunity for conservatives, young and old from all over the world, to get together and sort of touch base,” Cupp said on MSNBC’s “The Cycle.”


CPAC has reportedly permitted groups advocating for gay marriage to attend, however, they are unable to sponsor the event. Cupp said that is a bit of a “cop-out” on the issue.
“Ive been thinking about this a lot, and I know a lot of people on my side of the isle have been struggling with this for some time now too,” she added. “I’ve been scheduled to speak at CPAC this year, and I don’t think I can until this issue is reconciled and figured out.”


Cupp said Republicans are divided on gay marriage, an issue that the party can “no longer seem to avoid.” She explained that several Republicans, including four former governors, have signed a legal brief arguing that gays have a constitutional right to marry. The brief will be submitted to the Supreme Court this week in support of a lawsuit to overturn California’s Prop 8, which limited marriage to the union of a man and a woman.

good for her!

Always nice to see people stand up for equal rights and against discrimination.

How is expanding rights tyranny? How is allowing SSM harming straight people? That argument is so ridiculous I can't even believe people actually use it. Anti-SSM laws are tyranny, and it matters not whether they are brought on by the state, or the federal government, they are wrong either way, and should be brought down.
 
No, but she was hot and that would have been cool.

Right. Because I buy into the meme that conservatives are secretly dawgs........................right..............
 
So let me get this straight.....if the federal government decides things one way

The federal government shouldn't decide one way or another. It should decide on a neutral standard for all citizens. The neutral standard would be: Call you union whatever you want, marriage, civil union etc - all will still be looked at equally under the rule of law and should not dependent on regionalities. If the government decide it'll only allow 'marriages' then it shouldn't legally define it as anything other than a legal union between two parties. THAT is the neutral stance.
