The whole Liberal orgy over the Foley mess has finally gotten on my last nerve. It's not so much all the stories; I understand that -- Foley's alleged misdeeds should most certainly be reported. He's a scumbag. If the IMs I read are real, the guy's a total creep who should be kept far away from boys.
What totally gets under my skin is that Dems think that we Conservatives have no idea that there are *gasp!* GAYS in the Republican party! Here's a tip for you, Dems: There are also *gasp!* LESBIANS in the Republican party! Ooooh wait! Guess what else? There are even BLACKS and HISPANICS in the Republican party!! OH MY GOD!!!
Um, hellooooo, Demmmmmms? Ever hear of a little organization called the Log Cabin Republicans?! (If not, fergawdsakes click on the link.) In all seriousness, Conservatism is not the sole property of the Religious Right; as a matter of fact, many of the ideas that the Religious Right tries to push through as legislation on the Hill are not Conservative ideas. Many true Conservatives fully embrace all people, regardless of their sexuality, as being an important part of the larger community of Conservatism. It is small-minded, bigotted, and ridiculous to believe otherwise about a political ideology that promotes personal responsibility and freedom.
Not all Conservatives are Evangelicals, nor are they for government endorsement of marriage. It is this Conservative's opinion that all unions should be considered "civil unions" if performed by a government authority. Marriage is a religious concept that can only be recognized as such by a church, in my opinion. Our federal government has no business defining marriage -- Civil unions, sure; marriage, no.
Thanks for letting me get that out of my system... *sigh* I feel much better now. You know what made me feel even better? Reading this! I laughed so hard I had to wipe the tears from my eyes to finish reading!! (Am I the last person in the blogosphere to learn about "Guns and Butter?!")
Thanks so much for writing to me, Drew! I had no idea what I was missing!
(Your last name is the name of my favorite winery in Sonoma, California, by the way. Try their "Oakley Five Reds" if you're a wine fan...)
