conservatives as a group do hate. That's not lumping that is an objective fact. I wish the majority of conservatives weren't so full of hatred for so many of their fellow Americans, but everyday in words and actions they prove it.

It can be death and destruction of their lives for a huge percentage of homosexuals who participate.

How many people has the war on poverty and the war on drugs killed?

I didn't know Obama was a Conservative. Didn't HE come out and have something to say when some obscure basketball player came out of the closet?

Why does the left celebrate nationally EVEY time some one comes out of the closet?

I think you have your parties mixed up.

"objective"? "fact"? Doesn't even come close to either.

But, do not ask us to approve a life style which is in direct conflict of Christianity. The GL movement are trying to rewrite the bible and they confuse their bed room choices as main stream. They try to orientate our children in school and call it " Sensitivity Training"

Christian values are embedded in our Constitution and there are good examples in every day life, " In God We Trust" Endowed by our Creator"

Gays being a protected class???? Come on, you want equal rights there are ways you can achieve that with being considered a protected class.

The use of the " Hate " your panic button when the argument does not go your way. Most Christians will pray for you and treat any with human dignity. We do not hate GL, bur certainly do not approve of your life style. As you do not approve of God or any who holds scripture dearly.

Conservatism is your friend for a balanced Gov and Equal rights for all. Not the few!

The platform calls for not making the therapy illegal, not mandating it.

He would have been a great president. It's a shame people prefer an eloquent speaker or first _________ (female/black/fill in the blank) president of the US! as opposed to someone with actual governing abilities, character, etc.
BINGO!!!

Perry didn't duck & dodge the question like Obama always does.

In Texas we tell it like it is & don't care what others think. Dr. Phil is from Texas he's a perfect example.

It is what it is.

Obama puts his feet on the desk, that's not presidential & is a disrespect to the American people. I paid for that desk just as I pay his paycheck.

Anybody can learn to manage their sexual conduct. The fact that he equated a disorder like alcoholism with homosexuality is what makes a lot of people shake their heads. In order to think that his statement was reasonable, you would have to believe that homosexuality is a disease or disorder. According to every major medical and psychological organization in the modern world, it is not.
