I'm an economic and traditional social conservative/libertarian.

pro-life
pro gun rights
I believe marriage is between a man and a woman (not for religious reasons, i believe in the old slippery slope)
I believe in smaller federal government
I believe in more power to the state and local government

There's a lot more but I think you can see where I'm going.

I don't accept any progressive liberal idea, I'm actually a formal liberal.

Here, Swoop. Since you're obviously not willing to educate yourself, I'll do it for you.

I've gone ahead and put together just a smattering of the types of threads started on USPOL. Take note of the person who started each thread. Aside form this thread that we're in:

Beware the girly men . .

what gay marriage has done to Massachusetts

California High Court Rules Against Gay Marriage, Except Those Already Done

http://www.uspoliticsonline.com/abor...sexuality.html

http://www.uspoliticsonline.com/abor...-gay-gene.html

http://www.uspoliticsonline.com/abor...mosexuals.html

http://www.uspoliticsonline.com/abor...hristians.html

If I wanted, I could also go off on how this poster also expresses nothing but unwavering disdain for those who are anything but Christian. I'd have been posting links until the sun comes up, though, so I opted out of that.

It would be interesting to see if you could pull up the same number of posts, started by homosexuals, who are out to destroy Christianity. I don't think you can do it, but I would gladly acknowledge the error of my ways if you did.

What I see, and what I think anyone who views it rationally would see, is that Christians are far more interested in getting rid of homosexuals than homosexuals are in getting rid of Christians...

I subscribe to several forums so citing this forum alone proves nothing to me. I can tell you their are plenty of people who just love to post some story about a child molesting hypocritical priest and then use that as a platform to spew their Christian hate.

Had you not absolutely nailed my position, I might have a problem with it...

Can you tell the difference between constructive criticism and true hate or dissent?

I think most people are just tired of having homosexuality shoved down their throats. Everywhere you look homosexuality is being promoted.

Most non-liberals are tired of having every progressive issue shoved down their throat.

You can't get mad at people for having an opinion and that goes for every side of the political spectrum.

You asked earlier where I stand on "major issues":

I am pro-choice, only in that I do not believe the government should be able to dictate what a woman can and cannot do. Furthermore, I'm sickened by the hypocrisy of so-called "pro-lifers" who make exceptions for abortion. On a personal level, I find abortion an abhorent practice.

I am a strong supporter of the Second Amendment.

I'm in favor of gay marriage. No rational argument has ever been presented to me to prove that it "threatens" anything.

I am a strong advocate for our military.

I am very anti-illegal immigration. I would support a policy of armed troops at the border with orders to shoot to kill.

I believe in smaller government.

I believe in more power being given to State and local governments.

I believe we cannot tax ourselves back into prosperity.

I believe that government administered health care is, at best, unworkable and, at worst, far too socialist.

I believe people should be able to keep most of what they earn.

With the exception of two issues, I'd be willing to bet that you and I hold very, very similar views. The silly contention that gays are trying to destroy Christianity, however, just doesn't happen to be one of them...

The shear number of posts regarding homosexuality, linked above, indicates to me that there is far more hate than there is mere criticism...

Care to point out where?

Seriously, please tell me where. I've been sitting here trying to think where I've seen homosexuality promoted in the last week, and I come up with nothing...

Do you honestly think that liberals aren't also tired of having every conservative issues shoved down theirs?

I don't get mad at people for having an opinion.

But people like the prolific poster whose posts I linked to takes it far over the top. He doesn't have "an opinion", he has "a mission"; to eradicate homosexuals and homosexuality...

I we agree on a lot, just not on this issue. So I guess we will just have to agree to disagree.

Well I'm from Chicago so I might be a little bit more exposed to fringe political ideas.

Look man, they had an elementary school lead they gay parade here in Chicago.

The other day I saw a billboard on the side of a buss with two woman kissing and two men kissing entitled "change" ..

Homosexuality is being shoved down peoples throats. I can also admit that some Christians can be overly aggressive expressing their ideas as well.

Promoting an idea is not necessarily an attack on another idea. It's just a different idea...

What I find interesting is that you say "homosexuality is being shoved down peoples throats", and then describe what Christians do in a far less damning manner by saying "Christians can be overly aggressive expressing their ideas as well".

Christians force Christianity down the throats of others at every opportunity. Just stand by my front door at 8:30 on a Saturday morning if you doubt that.

Read the links I posted. If you don't think that's "shoving" Christianity down someone's throat, then I don't know what to say...

And liberals could argue the same thing about having religion shoved down our throat at every opportunity.

if you're talking about the morals and ethics that promote honesty and love for your fellow man, then of course i don't object to christian morals or ethics.

if you're talking about the morals and ethics that say it's okay to stone a woman because she didn't scream loudly enough while she was getting raped, then yes i object.

You want equality for gays not everyone.
