Intolerance of Christians mainstay of tolerant Libs

It’s a gay time of the year. Maybe it’s just the spring. Or could it be the unrelenting emphasis being placed on gay issues around the country? When asked by a Chicago newspaper about his opinion about homosexual activity, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, General Peter Pace told them, it’s immoral. Holy cow! STOP THE PESS! A 50 something, Catholic, military officer – a general no less – thinks homosexual activity is immoral. Whodathunkit? But, alas, if you answer a question honestly, and your answer doesn’t conform to the “tolerant” Liberal viewpoint, expect an anvil to fall on your head. The anvil will be pushed from a tall building by a compassionate, understanding, pro-choice (as long as the choice is consistent with Lib views), tolerant, caring Liberal.

Here in Indiana the state legislature is struggling with the question of gay marriage. Gay marriage here in the Hoosier state took a serious hit when pro-God fanatic Tony Dungy came out against it. Liberals are in a quandary how to attack Dungy. Attacking General Pace, a white, heterosexual, Christian, military man who heads up the most powerful military in the world -- or even the Pope who heads up a billion or so Catholics world-wide -- was easy. Hmm, but what to do with Dungy, a black, heterosexual, Christian, Super Bowl winning football coach who heads up less than a hundred football players? That’s a problem.

I am of the opinion that there are two types of homosexuals, the type that were born with their preference and the type that learned the behavior somewhere along the line. I am also of the opinion that pedophiles, drunks, addicts, cheats, liars and fat people come in the exact same two varieties. While it’s perfectly OK to question the life choices of the groups in second category, it has become strictly off-limits to question homosexuals – even on religious grounds – as General Pace the Pope have recently discovered.

Now, why is it that it’s always the I’m OK you’re OK, anything goes, it’s all relative, who am I to judge crowd that is always judging Christians for their beliefs, demanding apologies for those beliefs, calling Christians bigoted hate mongers? Well here’s a dirty little secret pointed up by Tony Dungy’s treatment. Blacks in general and Christian blacks in particular are a whole lot less tolerant of homosexual activity than General Pace. But Libs, being the hypocrites that all Libs are, give blacks a pass.

Isn’t it the Libs who are the intolerant hate mongers? Wouldn’t their cause be better served by saying something along line of, “Oh my! Those are your deeply held religious views? Well, you are certainly entitled to that, but you’re missing out on some wonderful music, food and decorating tips” all while thinking - well those views might just explain that plaid flannel shirt over the poly trousers and vinyl shoes.

Lex on gay marriage: I’m against gay marriage. Not because I’m a bigoted, hate mongering homophobe. I’m against it because I can see no logical stopping point once the line of marriage being the union between one man and one woman is crossed.
