Coburn is a freedom fighter.

Don't you claim to be some sort of libertarian? Anyone who thinks that gays are the greatest threat to our freedom is definitely no libertarian.

Coburn has misunderestimated the threat posed by feminists and blacks.

LOL

Blacks?  How so?

[Bleeding heart conservative, HTMLdon]

I was horrified by Coburn's statements, but I cannot claim that I am surprised by them.

[The Dowager Mod]

Coburn is a dumbass, always has been.

[A18]

It was homosexuals that almost had freedom of association dismantled.

[Swing low, sweet chariot. Comin' for to carry me home.]

The willingness to accept and approve of homosexual behavior is, BY FAR, a greater threat than the actual act of homosexuality.

Rom 1:31 Although they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.

^^^^^^^^

We're talking about the threat to our freedom, not morality.

Do the so called "Christians" on the right know this verse?

"It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God." (Matthew 19:24)

If not, I have no use for hearing from faux Christians on the right.

Are we sure he really said this?  What was the context?  Honestly, I don't trust things that come from particular sources such as the one that provided this.

So umm, explain how they're a threat to freedom? Are they detaining US citizens indefinitely? Are they starting wars for no reason? Are they torturing people? I don't think the gay Democrats are.

DailyKos is a fairly reliable source. If you don't believe me, it's also in here.

I saw Meet the Press this morning, he was confronted with saying it and did not deny it.

Boy Scouts v. Dale. Their totalitarian push for social engineering has gone too far. They're even trying to pass a federal anti-discrimination law.

I would never read or trust DailyKos.  You may consider it reliable, but I don't.

If he said it, it was surely a ridiculous thing to say.  But then, extreme liberals say ridiculous things all the time, and I'm told over and over that they don't really represent the Democratic party.  So I'll say the same about Coburn and the Republicans.

I am not sure I understand your point...are you saying rich people can't be saved or that being rich is somehow a sin?

You guys talk about state's rights all the time. Well, the Boy Scouts violated New Jersey anti-discrimination law. I guess state's rights only applies to conservatives?

OK, I know what you mean.  I had forgotten about that.  I absolutely do not believe that private organizations such as the Boy Scouts should be forced to accept gay troop leaders.  It should be their decision.

The problem is not with gays, per se, but with the radical gay agenda.  I absolutely don't support the radical gay agenda, but I do support gays having the same basic rights as others.

Still, the radical gay agenda is a threat to our freedom, as is the radical feminist agenda and certain segments of the NAACP agenda.  There is a difference between equal rights and even tolerance, and forced acceptance and glorification.

This is why I said I'd like to know the context in which Coburn made his statement.  As I'm sure it's presented by the DailyRag, it seems ridiculous, but there could be a lot more to it if one knows the whole context.

[A18]

States' rights does not mean states get to violate the Constitution. It means the federal government doesn't get to either.

Coburn is a freaking US Senator. Of course he represents the Republican party until they kick his sorry ass out of it. What are these "extreme liberals" saying "ridiculous things"?

But you refuse to accept that they don't represent the Democrats and admit that. So I refuse to admit this doesn't represent the Republicans.
