Just Plain Wrong

That's an even bigger load of horse****. If they aren't "actively pursuing it" they should remove it. It's pathetic political weaseling, and you're participating in it too.



I don't care. The TX GOP is on record. So the point about the party is made, and undeniable, about the party.

I'd like to see each candidate confronted with their views on it though. Not choosing it on a list isn't the same thing as disavowing it.

Regardless of your opinion on it, the fact is that no candidate is running on it and no legislation has been introduced or is pending, so the "evil right wing christians" aren't attempting to force anti-sodom on everyone. Society has moved on. Just as it will, eventually, move on regarding the issue of marriage.

LOL. You display anger in nearly every post.

It's quite obvious this timid little boy is very uncomfortable with the situation his selfish and insensitive mother has forced upon him and possibly even embarrassed by her lifestyle.

So you disapprove of this too?

You're still doing it.

The Texas GOP is still on record as supporting making it illegal. You can't deny that. Just move on.

There is zero legislative action in that direction. So, I can deny it. Just being in the platform, when no one is working for it to happen is meaningless. It's difficult to remove items from the platform, which is the reason it's still there and the reason that the TX GOP has indicated it's simply carryover from before the SC ruled on the issue.

Depends how you define "decent people", "morally corrupt", "sick perversions", and "demand acceptance and legitimacy".

Also, "brainwashed", "political correctness", "independent thought", and "common sense".

Many people, I would guess (based on this post), disagree with your definitions.

No doubt you are correct___Those who are owned by Political Correctness strongly disagree with me.

Disagreeing with morality, common decency and common sense is part of PC programming and indoctrination.

Honestly, I couldn't__As a matter of fact, I believe discussing this non-issue is a huge waste of time considering the serious problems the United States and the world is now facing.

As soon as you used the term, "decent people" your entire post became a logical fallacy and irrelevant.

Had I agreed with your PC programmed position, you would have thought it logical and relevant.

Bull****. You care deeply, as the rest of your post shows.

Mind your own damn business. Get out of the sex lives of other people.

It would be easier done than said if 'those people' would stop injecting their immorality into society.

If legitamcy is given to homosexuals, it will open the door to all manor of perversions from marrying children to farm animals and pets, for which political correctness will take up their cause.

Fortunately we have the religious right to show us how to inject morality into everyone's lives and into their homes. Missionary sex for everyone!

Get over yourselves really.

Talk about being unable to think for one's self. The religious right has its followers convinced that gay people want to convert straight people. Just as they have minions out there suggesting that one can "pray away the gay".

It would be comical if it weren't so damned pathetic and damaging.

Anything in a political party's platform is something they want to achieve legislatively.

The excuse that they can't do it because the Supreme Court said they can't, so it doesn't matter, is lame.

You don't own society. You have to live with the existence of people who don't think or act like you or have the same values sometimes. Deal with it. They're not forcing you to do anything. Grow up.

Not what I said. I indicated that it's difficult to remove items from the platform. So, that item is just carryover. No one is pushing for it legislatively, including the republican party of TX.

I don't care if it's "difficult" for the party to amend its own platform. That's just another lame excuse.

The TX GOP is responsible for what's in its platform. If it doesn't support something, it should remove it.

What other items does the TX GOP not really support that is in its platform? Why do you excuse a party of lying?

As a matter of fact, I do disapprove___The Westboro Baptist Church, operates from a position of hate and anger, which is a gross misrepresentation of the christian faith.

You have misjudged my opinions as being the result of hate and anger___I assure you, my beliefs are based on mother nature, human nature and common sense and are far less emotional than yours.

I have no idea___There is no way to accurately determine this boy's emotions or state of mind from this still photo.

(although he does appear to be much less uncomfortable than the boy in the OP)

One of the things about Christians is that they all believe their actions are supported by Christ himself. but not necessarily the actions of other Christians who "obviously" are not "True Christians" like them.

Rather comical actually.

Your common sense and the human nature to which you speak isn't shared by many common people. Gee I wonder why that is?

Thank you for sharing your amazing wisdom with the ignorant masses TopCat.

I truely wasn't aware that religion had cornered the market on "morality".

I suppose I should either rethink my position or rush out and join a church.

Please explain how two consenting adults is the same as boinking animals or children. Just because you operate from a moral code that equates those does not make that reality.

I could see polygamy being equated to 2 consenting adults...I see very little difference betwen 5 consenting adults in a realtionship and 2. I personally don't care, I don't judge others and whatever floats there boats.

Someone marrying a minor or marrying an animal is completely different though.
 
Empirica...I'm still waiting to know if a straight woman has a guy go down on her or a straight man goes anally on a woman are those "unnatural" sex acts to?

Also, sorry but when you have the sight of hundreds of anti-gay christians picketing outside of a funeral on a public city sidewalk holding signs that "God Hates Fags", thanking god for IED's and 9/11, and insulting our troops it tends to make many people question the seriousness of their oppression due to Political Correctness.

Church isn't the problem. Thinking your views are moral and those of others who disagree with you are not. That is the problem. But of course I don't expect you to comprehend that.

You and I will just have to disagree on that. However, it is simply a fact that the TX GOP is not pursuing it legislatively and no candidates for political office in TX have signed onto that point.

Says the guy that is convinced that the TX GOP is pushing it legislatively, even though they arent.
