Occasionally, I travel into the land of forbidden tolerance, aka, Free Republic, to read the "other sides'" perspective. I am rarely enlightened and frequently horrified. Things are pretty much the same over in freeperland. Intolerance is high. Understanding is at rock bottom. Hate is at a climax and the love of your fellow man is nonexistent. Even people that claim to be on their side are attacked for any deviation from the pure ideological test they so lovingly embrace. Of course, there is the usual Saint Ronnie drivel.
I stumbled across a diary that dealt with GOProud, a homosexual group that embraces conservative notions. You remember what those notions were, right? Smaller guvmint. Fiscal responsibility. Family values. Get the picture? Follow me over the jump for a look at the carnage when a conservative eats its own.
Ryan Sorba, Young Americans for Freedom, was "booed off stage" at the CPAC convention from a bunch of "unruly gays that are trying to infiltrate the party and ruin it." There are over 600 comments to the diary/episode. I have read them and will share some of the classic moments with you. You can watch the videos and read some of the backgound in an entertaining and enlightening diary by Vita Brevis. http://www.dailykos.com/...
Now for the Freeper response:
I think it was wrong for the homosexual group to shout Ryan down. Fascist liberal scum are the ones who usually want to shut down free speech. All Ryan wanted to do was speak in support of traditional values - something 99% of Conservatives agree with. Do we really want to teach our kids that it's normal for a male to sexually fetishise the excretory organs of other males? It seems common sense that most people would oppose normalizing homosexual sodomy and AIDS. Yet a bunch of militant thugs were allowed to boo Ryan off the stage. Totally unacceptable in my opinion.

It is always fascinating to read about how teachers are going to teach your kids to be teh gay. I was a teacher for 25 years. I never taught anyone how to be teh gay. I did, however, teach tolerance of individual differences. It was rather bold of me, I know. I apologize. NOT.
You’re either for traditional family values or you are not.
The GOP needs to be 100% clear on this.

Remember boys and girls, 100%, no more, no less. Ideological purity.
They’ve strolled into the tent and taken over. Where is the leadership that should be defending the traditional family? None dares speak out. This is heart-sickening. This is appalling.

Watch out tent dwellers, teh gays are takin over.
What the hell is happening to Conservatism when we are now expected to just embrace and welcome those who believe that it’s normal for men to worship the excremental organ of other males? Hello? We are officially in lala land now. I can’t imagine Ronald Reagan embracing such a degenerate lifestyle.

Once Saint Ronnie is invoked you know it can't be good. When St. Ronnie was prez, teh gay knew their place. Everybody knows teh gay spread disease and HIV/AIDS is God's plague against teh gay.
As long as it neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg, I hope for their vote.
Read up on your history. Every nation that promoted did so as it reached a point of decadence that destroyed the resolve of the nation against its enemies, foreign and domestic, and hastened the nation to its ultimate demise. Also, homosexuals are actually quite violent. Read up, for instance, on the Spartans, and on the Theban bands of 300 lovers.
Problem with the libertarian argument is that tolerance for open homosexuality eventually will both pick your pocket and break your leg.

God and I both love a good history lesson. I am especially fond of the tag line. Nice one, Titus.
Sorry, but Reagan had many homosexual friends, whether we knew it or not.
Were they working to undermine the traditional family?

I always wondered how St. Ronnie was able to avoid teh gay. It must have been difficult being an actor in Hollywood, surly he would have encountered and perhaps even consulted with a gay. Or maybe when he was governor he might have had a meeting where there were 'teh gay' present. The horror!
"As long as it neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg, I hope for their vote."
Hoping for votes is one thing. But it is quite another to tacitly approve of degenerate behavior by welcoming them with a level of respect. Do you really want your kids to think "oh well, I guess the erotic worship of the male rectum is just another lifestyle we can choose from". The consequences of AIDS alone should be enough of a wake up call.

I have never been presented with a menu of options for my lifestyle. Have you? Where do these people get their information?
Yes, and ripped rectums, aids, from a filthy perversion.
Where do these homosexuals work? I hope they don’t
work in hospitals, food service, education etc.

I'm just curious. Why do these people want to make government just big enough to fit into our bedrooms? Why do they even care what another person does in the privacy of their own home? They really have Victorian sexual attitudes. Why are they ashamed of their bodies and afraid of sexual pleasure?
GOProud is a Trojan (no pun intended) Horse. Homosexuality is anti-thetical to Traditional Conservatism. The Judeo-Christian Sex Ethic is the bedrock foundation of Western Civilization. The so-called ‘Gay Liberation Movement’ is just another facet of the Marxian-Darwinian rebellion that is destroying the Neshama, the soul of America. Homosexual activism is at war with the Jewish Sex Ethic. It wants to kill it, exterminate it. Like Hitler, it hates the Torah of the Jews and the God who dared to tell puny, selfish confused little human beings how to live. Hold the line. Should you fail to do so, the nation will be destroyed.

And now for teh Joooz. Bring in the Joooz.
Oh well. I really can't take anymore hate for today. I might be able to try again tomorrow. The GOP is such a mind fuck that I can only take it a little at a time. Notice, how I do this for you so you do not have to be exposed to teh stoopid directly. I did not add the link to the diary because I thought it would be a wate of time.
Remember, you may not go to Free Republic without parental persmission.
