Mr. Brown states that San Francisco has a “large” population of homosexuals. Research that I did puts the homosexual population of San Francisco at about 15%. Black Americans number about 15% of the U.S. population with Hispanics having a slight lead over Blacks.
Other numbers put political conservatives at over half the total population of the U.S. So why do politicians worry so much about these minority populations but don’t give a hoot-in-hell what conservatives think? Conservatives are treated like an insignificant minority and the real minorities are given the status of huge majorities. Something is very, very wrong.
Is it too much to ask that the focus of this Sunday be on football and not on “gay rights”? Will I be branded as a homophobic bigot for daring to make such a request? (I can answer that already: Yes!)
Last week, Fox News ran the headline, “Baltimore Raven linebacker [Brendon Ayanbadejo] uses Super Bowl spotlight to promote gay marriage,” reporting that, “Hours after Ayanbadejo’s team beat the New England Patriots on Sunday, paving their way to football’s biggest game, the three-time Pro Bowl special teams player wrote an email to gay marriage proponents asking how he could use...
And, yes, something is very, very wrong with the way this current world works when a miniscule minority can call the shots. My biblically informed opinion is that it is the influence of the "prince of this world" combined with God's own "strong delusion" sent to those who refuse to obey, as prophesied.
The Republican Party came quickly into being in the late 1850's because of the absolute inability/unwillingness of the Whig Party to deal with the slavery dominated Democrat Party in the pre-Civil war political scene. The GOP's 'birth' did not take 'a decade or more'. What WAS required was the realization on the part of people with political will and vision that the 'old way' (the Whigs) was no longer working. The GOP now, 150 years later, like the Whigs of the 1850's, does not have the will or vision to deal with the Socialist challenge of the Democrats. The BEST thing the Tea Party conservatives, and like-minded folks could do, at this point, is to disengage and disembark (continued)
But, I think that that process of a new party birth is already underway and that the TEA Party was a seed to build on. But the real conservatives within the Republican Party are what we have to work with now. I think they are easily identifiable.
