Hilary Rosen's Ann Romney Comment

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

The sexualities of the people involved aren't even slightly relevant.

yeah, sure....

Conservatives aren't the only people who throw around terms like "dyke" and "f****t." So it's unfair to say "it's no wonder conservatives get labelled so badly."

yo, "dyke" is a common word among dykes....example:  Pat Benatar perfoms her concerts with a "Dykes Rule" sticker on her guitar

If Ann Romney was a lesbian mother of five, or of any other number of children including zero, who had never held a paid job she'd be just inept an economic surrogate for a major party's presidential candidate.

well, my wife hasn't worked in 17 years, but she makes >90% of the purchases and is well aware of the real world of economics.

I think your image of lesbianism is stuck about thirty-five years ago.

as you well know, I side with God on the issue, and His image of it hasn't changed since Adam and Eve.  And, as you also well know, you choose to blind yourself to the truth.

The N word is a common word amongst African-Americans. I dare you to go into a Golden Corral and shout "Hey there, n-ggers!" at the top of your lungs. It should be okay because it's "a common word."

Ma'am, don't confuse race with homosexuality.  One is not condemned, the other is.

Also, not sure about the Golden Corral, but at least a couple of nights out of most weeks, I wouldn't have to look past my own living room to find some brothas and/or thick-souled sistas.

Even with God not admitting of change the world most certainly is.

yeah, and the current world is destined for fire...so I choose to side with God.

'The lesbian' is not a monolithic social entity fixed from eternity that can be defined by its hatred of motherhood.

hate to clue you in, but homosexuality ain't exactly the embracement of human reproduction.

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

I've never seen it in any actual writing and I read about one book a week. Also, you were using the transitive form and I'm honestly not sure how 'to embrace' can even be intransitive.

why are you discussing correct word usage with a native Texan?  here is the link to Webster, you'll see embracement is a noun form of the word:

— embrace·able \-ˈbrā-sə-bəl\ adjective
— em·brace·ment \-ˈbrās-mənt\ noun
— em·brac·er noun
— em·brac·ing·ly \-ˈbrā-siŋ-lē\ adverb

Here are several examples of its usage:

I'd be astonished if any of your notions about what 'the gays', perceived of course as a monolith, are like came from anything remotely resembling actual familiarity.

you'll have to forgive the bible for not bothering to parse homosexuals into different groups...but I think you'll find it also doesn't bother parsing fornicators, liars, drunkards, etc, etc, etc.

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

'Homosexuals' are a social phenomenon that didn't exist in Bible times.

dude, I don't care what label you put on it - call them "those-who-sexually-lust-after-those-of-the-same-sex" if you want.  But the bible does address them and their sexual desires and actions.
