They claim gay marriage, for example, is being "forced" on them. I fail to see how their lives will change a whit. Meanwhile, they are pushing to legislate their own lifestyles as the official federal norm. It's bizarre. As the advice columnnist in Slate once wrote, "If you don't like gay marriage, don't send a gift."Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13524483460829802534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8387588.post-1124199411280624552005-08-16T09:36:00.000-04:002005-08-16T09:36:00.000-04:00As a member of the FAR right for a long time I am ...As a member of the FAR right for a long time I am saddened by what is going on with the evangelicals who can not understand that whether or not you agree, even vehemently, with how a person lives, it does not give you the right to force them to live the "right" way. Jesus did not force anyone to live by his example, he just loved. By the evangelicals own beliefs judgement lies in the hands of the Maker, not them. And as I have said before while I do not share your beliefs I will die defending your right to live how you wish to.<BR/><BR/>The politcal backlash of this type of behavior will be brutal. Unfortunatly, unike rob I believe the pendulum still has a long way to swing before it starts coming back towards the middle.bohicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10110016798798784735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8387588.post-1124197121841816102005-08-16T08:58:00.000-04:002005-08-16T08:58:00.000-04:00Good post.I think the Left has done an amazing job...Good post.<BR/><BR/>I think the Left has done an amazing job at moderating its more hysterical factions, for the most part. (I would've loved to hear the NARAL inner-court meeting that approved their advert. Really.) And, you're totally correct, this whole drama is exposing the Republicans' fatal flaw: they're a party of ideology-first, practicality and truth last.<BR/><BR/>If we continue to moderate our own emotions-vs-reason ideological factions, we can most certainly win back the House and maybe Senate in 2006. Maybe the Democrats need a good old Party purge. We might best drive these ideologues into the new, poltically marginal, but oh-so-equally emotional, Kingdom of Blogastan.<BR/><BR/>rob@egoz.orgAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
