Compassionate Conservatives Strike Again

The North Carolinian Branch of the Log Cabin Republicans, a Gay Republican group (which I've mentioned on the 3rd Cent), has been bared from attending the North Carolina Republican Party Convention this weekend because "homosexuality is not normal" and their agenda is "counterproductive to the Republican agenda." Compassion indeed.

Bill Peaslee, a spokesman for the state Republican Party, said its leaders rescinded their offer to grant the Log Cabin Republicans a table at the convention because "in our opinion, they're not really a Republican organization. Their political agenda is different than our political agenda" and "while they call themselves loyal Republicans, they spend more time and more resources pointing out what's wrong with the party than what's right."

You've got to give it to the Republicans...what they lack in tolerance, compassion, acceptance, love, kindness, support and understanding they make up for with "loyalty" to their "political agenda." Brings a tear to my eye...how about you?

Oh, just as a FYI, the political agenda of the North Carolina Republican Party when it comes to homosexuality is as follows:

the North Carolina Republicans' platform states that homosexuality "is not normal and should not be established as an acceptable 'alternative' lifestyle either in public education or in public policy. We also stand united with private organizations, such as the Boy Scouts, who defend moral decency and freedom according to their own long-held and well-established traditions and beliefs."

As I’ve said before: nice. Thank God we have the North Carolina Republicans to defend moral decency for the rest of us...
