This might have worked last time around, but the fickle great unwashed seems to have moved on.

The homosexual Left base is already out and sitting on the bench. It is unlikely that Conservatives can stop the trainwrecked gay judges from destroying American culture.

One-woman one-man marriage laws, the Defense of Marriage Act are vital to a vibrant and healthy next generation of tax paying citizens and very important to the stability of American culture.

Fox's stem cell research commercial seems to be a success for those who support stem cell research, but then the conservatives claim that it's actually a victory for them, because it will mobilize anti-stem cell votes. Now, gay marriage makes some headway, which is a blow to anti-gay marriage advocates, but it's somehow good news as well.

Everything is good news for everyone in an election year, it seems. The spin is amazing.
Yep, Funny isn't it---in a pitiful sort of way.

Look at all the Anti-american things Bush has done. Warrentless taps, torture, etc. and the war, but is an Ironic way, they are all GOOD for the Dems, even tho in the long run they are horrendous.

Bashing is a very Leftist technique employed when confronted with Reality.

You have no ideas so you bash instead of debate. I am not the topic but, because you are unable to articulate an original thought, you must resort to name-calling and other base behaviors.

A political realist? Is that how you describe yourself?

There was a time in this country when protecting civil liberties against government intrusion was a conservative tenet.

What government intrusion are you referring to?

Do you have a private life? Who would want to 'intrude'? Ridiculous assertions arrive in vague statements.

Democrats lack clarity. Are you a Demoncrat?

Now that is really funny since I am the one who has countered your points over and over again. on all of the several threads that you have been ranting on. While you continue to decline to explain your position.

My apologies. If I'd had any idea I was addressing someone who is unfamiliar with the concept of government intrusion I would have explained it to you.

Government intrusion into private life is what happens when agents of the government require you to adhere to government approved behaviors in your private life in order to be treated like other citizens.

Denying homosexuals equal protection based on their sexual preference is a government intrusion into their private lives. It really couldn't be much clearer.

That's a very socialist outlook. The benevolent government would never intrude on our privacy or encroach on our rights. What are Big Brothers for?

I'm a little confused as to why you are so enthusiastic about this development - and I don't think there is anyone here who thinks of you as a conservative. That is not why I am confused. I'm just not clear why this is considered to be such a wonderful thing.

And there was also a time when "civil liberties" was not used as a cover term for the latest development in political correctness - so that anyone who opposes the lastest left-wing trend is automatically "opposed to civil liberties".

Does that statement have something to do with this discussion? If it does I'm not seeing it. Unless you are claiming only "left wing" people are homosexual?

A Realist is what I said and what I meant.

For example, there should be no surprise that the New Jersey Courts are packed with homosexual activists. As Governor and one who engaged in homosexual conduct, Jim Mcgreevey put them into key positions. It's too late for the people of New Jersey. Their will has been undermined by an agenda of the Left. That is Reality.
