I don’t buy everything that GayPatriot writes; and his rhetoric can be a little much at times. But it’s a shame he has been intimidated by the gay far-left into ending his blogging. A shame but unsurprising. If the gay “outers” spent a fraction of the time they spend attacking other gay people actually making the case for equality to straight people, the world would be a better place.
REALITY CHECK: Here’s Larry Kudlow on the Schiavo case:
Inexplicably, the U.S. court system is determined to take Schiavo’s life. I say inexplicably because the courts have chosen to disregard the morality of life, the religious belief in life, the culture of life. Inexplicable because all Americans of faith believe that in situations like this we should, as President Bush has said, err on the side of life.
In fact, of course, majorities of “people of faith” disagree with Kudlow and with the notion that removing life-support (and a sophisticated feeding tube is life support) after fifteen years of being completely incapacitated is certainly not an easy call. Even people inclined to be “pro-life” see that this case may be one in which allowing a human being to die is the morally preferable thing to do. But Kudlow doesn’t see this diversity of religious view – even now. That’s how hermetically sealed the far right is. Until now, most people haven’t seen the theocratic tendencies in today’s GOP. The religious right has focused on abortion (which affects a small minority) and gays (ditto). But the right to die affects everyone. Suddenly the willingness of the far right to use the full weight of government to impose their views comes to light. Now many people get a taste of how gays feel. And a chill up their spine.
