For God's sake, people, why are you all getting to angry at BushOK? His statements are completely in line with his
OCPD.
Actions are either
Right (tm) or
Wrong (tm) for him, without a middle ground. You're not going to be able to bargain him out of his position, by trying to get him to acknowledge that there's any sort of fuzziness to his beliefs. That is, quite simply, impossible to do, at least in the constraints of the Internet.
Instead, the proper approach is to start from his acknowledgement of the idea that open, public discrimination against gays is in the
Wrong (tm) category, and move from there. For example, regardless of what he believes about homosexuality, it shouldn't be that hard, relative to getting him to do a 180 on the issue, to convince him that toning down his rhetoric would be
Right (tm). In saying that he "HATES" homosexuality, he's speaking like someone who would treat gay Americans in a discriminatory way. I think he'd agree he doesn't want to be perceived that way.
