The question is where is the line? Especially if you are a government employee, what freedoms must you give up on your private time to maintain employment? Especially as the list of undesirable opinions grows.

Well, actually, it's not homosexual identity that Cochran is saying is a sin. It's homosexual activity. The same Bible says that sex outside of marriage is also a sin. So as xboxmas was pointing out, it's not the person that you're "disagreeing" with but their actions.

Perhaps, but it can't feel too good to support the party that can't beat an idiot.

Will conservative reactionaries make up inane implications and generalizations in lieu of rational arguments? This could get very uninteresting, for this is what they mostly do.

Looks like the truth to me
If you ignore the fact that the Christian God is about as real as a compassionate conservative.

Yes, it's not longer socially acceptable to say bigoted things in public.

How sad I'm sure that makes you.
