Even though we...Thank you for your comments SRath. Even though we might not agree on everything, it's nice to see that you've put some thought into this issue. You're certainly entitled to your opinion. Allow me to address a few of your points:<br /><br />SRath:"This is an all-out assault on Christianity and family values." <br /><br />--I agree that there IS a bias against Christianity by the liberal intelligentsia in this country. I don't like that.<br /><br />SRath:"Look at Canada, where similar 'hate crime' laws as those being pushed HARD down our throats prohibit Christian pastors from even teaching parts of the Bible."<br /><br />--True. I would oppose most of these, certainly at the federal level (no the feds' Constitutional job), and certainly any that restricts freedom of speech or religion.<br /><br />SRath:"Our children are being indoctrinated at extremely young ages in their schools that homosexuality is OK."<br /><br />--Exactly why we need to restore the separation of school and state. Then we could send our kids to Christian schools.<br /><br />SRath:"Compare the homosexual suicide rate to that of heterosexuals."<br /><br />--Maybe they're bummed that they can't get married most places. But seriously, that too is between them and God.<br /><br />SRath:"Since they are not content to close their curtains and keep their mouths shut about their sexual deviances, like normal folks, they have lost any respectability in my view."<br /><br />--"Normal folks" are sexual deviants too? They're just quiet about it?<br /><br />SRath:"Where they think penises should be inserted has NO PLACE in politics, classrooms, or decent society."<br /><br />--But where YOU think penises should be inserted does? Please refer to the fist paragraph of the original post.<br /><br />SRath:"Tell yourself you do not care about your 1st Amendment rights, though you claim to care about the 2nd."<br /><br />--I DO care about the 1st Amendment. Not sure what gave you the impression I didn't.<br /><br />Again, thank you for the spirited comments and debate. I may not agree with all you say, but I'll fight to my death your right to say it.

The Catholic church does not have an exclusive on homosexual predators and teenage sons of single mom's are particularly targeted and vulernable.<br /><br />This is not a matter of "live and let live". This is an all-out assault on Christianity and family values. Look at Canada, where similar "hate crime" laws as those being pushed HARD down our throats prohibit Christian pastors from even teaching parts of the Bible. Our children are being indoctrinated at extremely young ages in their schools that homosexuality is OK. Compare the homosexual suicide rate to that of heterosexuals. Homosexuals have serious mental issues and forcing the rest of us to tolerate and embrace them will not change that.<br /><br />I believed in the "live and let live" approach until these attacks on normal (yes, Normal is the correct term since homosexuality is abnormal and un-natural in every respect) folks. Since they are not content to close their curtains and keep their mouths shut about their sexual deviances, like normal folks, they have lost any respectability in my view. Where they think penises should be inserted has NO PLACE in politics, classrooms, or decent society.<br /><br />We now see the extreme to which this is going already in the so-called Hate Crimes bill in Congress, more commonly known as the Pedophile Protection Act, which is precisely what it is. There is no limit to how low this will go.<br /><br />Stick your head in the sand. Tell yourself you do not care about your 1st Amendment rights, though you claim to care about the 2nd. Just remember, even the innocent citizens of Sodom and Gommorah were not spared when the time of reckoning came.SRathnoreply@blogger.com
