		<description>It&#039;s really sad you have to get hate mail at all related to your sexuality.  I certainly don&#039;t think the right is totally blameless as far as being closed minded (particularly when it comes to sexual orientation) but man is it amazing how the left reacts to anyone in one of their self-proclaimed victims groups who doesn&#039;t tow the party line. IMHO, taking a shot as someone&#039;s sex, orientation, skin-color etc is just lame.  To that end, I agree with the left&#039;s rhetoric.  Too bad many of the far lefties are so selective as to when it&#039;s ok to say something ugly about race/sex/orientation etc.

Calling a gay man a F** is always a pathetic cheap shot and it&#039;s never ok. But if straight people point that out to lefties that are being ugly, they immediately dismiss us and say we have no legitimate grounds to comment on the subject. The ironic thing is that you frequently hear the left blabbing about self-loathing with regard to Gay republicans or Black or female republicans. However if they can harbor that much vitriol to someone who is like them but has a differing political viewpoint - and if they think it&#039;s ok to say really ugly stuff about such people, aren&#039;t they really the ones who are self-loathing?

Anyway, even though it was a short post, like almost all that you write it was excellent.  Keep up the great work!  The people that write you hate mail would need to stand on a building to kiss your a55 and deep down, they know it.</description>

		<description>On the top issue:

I must say that I spend WAY too much time surfing the blogs.  And, to be honest, I see plenty of hate on all sides of every issue.

If you think the hate is bad on sites which question the gay agenda, just take a look at the hate left by anti-abortion folks on pro-choice websites.  It makes all the left wing hate speech sound like nursery rhymes!!</description>

		<description>Livermoon:  GOOD POINT!!!

On the other hand, I don&#039;t know how many in the NON-Gay community know the difference either.  After all, many people in 2004 said that they were voting for Bush instead of Kerry because of gay marriage . . . even though both Bush and Kerry had EXACTLY THE SAME POSITION ON THE ISSUE!

Put your money on the ignorance of the average American (straight OR gay) and you&#039;ll rarely lose.</description>

		<description>I have problems when posting comments at lefty sites - and I only visit the sane ones!  The visitors are invariably more virtiolic than the authors.  Sometimes the authors tsk-tsk those commenters but frequently not.  It must be exhausting to try to put out fires in every thread.

NB, chalk me up as another conservative who yawns at the gay thing.  I have a lesbian on my bowling team (heck, our house has an entire gay bowling league!) and the only thing I care about is that she has a 145 average.  Well, that and she&#039;s good company.</description>

		<description>I wonder how many in the gay community actually understand the candidates&#039; positions on gay marriage?  If poster Tim O. is an example, then I suspect that a sizable percentage are unaware that Obama, like Bill and Hillary, like Johns Kerry and  Edwards, like Joe Biden is anti-gay marriage.  He doesn&#039;t believe in the need for a constitutional amendment but wants each individual state to decide its policy.  McCain differs how? His position is exactly the same as Obama&#039;s but recognizes that a constitutional amendment may need to be a last resort to counteract judges overriding the will of the people.  Seems to me that would be the end-game even under Obama as president should judicial activism attempt to nullify the legislature.  
Both candidates are pro-civil union.
Where is the difference?
Also, Palin has done more for gay rights than all 3 of the candidates combined.  Does the gay community know that?</description>

		<description>I noticed the same thing on my blog. If you challenge their orthodoxy in some way, you become a heretic. Lefties have replaced religion with politics. But it&#039;s the same kind of zealotry. 

In my case, I bash Global Warming hysteria a lot and it attracts people who take that as a sacred cow. And I just made hamburger out of their cow. So rather than refute my arguments, they attack me personally.

It doesn&#039;t matter if you are a gay or black conservative. I&#039;m a straight quasi-libertarian. What they care about is that you dared to contradict their beliefs. You threaten what they think is reality And like religious zealots, they feel they have to attack.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m a lifelong republican, 5th generation in my family (I guess that makes me a hateful person)...I don&#039;t support gay marriage, but I do support civil unions.  

I&#039;m religious, but not a christian.  

I support a woman&#039;s right to choose, or not to choose abortion (that&#039;s between her and G-d or her conscience) though I oppose late term abortions on the premise that if the fetus can survive outside of the womb...then have it and give it up or adoption.

On the otherhand, I&#039;m a big fan of TR of &quot;speak softly and carry a big stick&quot; fame...but don&#039;t be afraid to use that stick when necessary.

I think that our educational system is sick and needs serious reforms, but I&#039;m not certain what those reforms should be, so I&#039;m open to suggestions on that score.

I think that there needs to be some major overhauls of how WashDC/Fed Gov&#039;t is run/works...eliminate all earmarks would be a start in the right direction.  Complete reporting of all sources of income for our elected representatives would be another...

Personally, I don&#039;t care what you do behind your front door, or whom you do what with...as long as you don&#039;t attempt to impose your choices on me, I&#039;ll do the same for you...a great book I read once said, &quot;Love your neighbor as yourself&quot;. 

My life is too short for me to spew out hateful remarks on blogs.  I&#039;m too busy, and work far too hard trying to life a good life and to teach my kids to do that same.  

So...live  long and prosper...adio, vado

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Itâ€™s hard to deal with people who spend their lives looking for some reason, any reason, to be pissed off....Iâ€™ll never be cheerful again.&lt;/blockquote&gt;That&#039;t it! Libs are dementors!</description>

		<description>JoJo,

Don&#039;t assume that guy speaks for any of the rest of us. I love the religious right! Hell, I&#039;m religious and definitely right, so I guess that makes &lt;i&gt;me&lt;/i&gt; the religious right.</description>

		<description>&quot;And I wish weâ€™d get rid of the so called religious right.&quot;

Gay Patriot, does it still count as a hate comment if the hate isn&#039;t directed at you?</description>

		<description>Greetings from a Libertarian who reads Instapundit daily.  Interesting topic drew me here.  IIRC somebody did an analysis of invective and profanity in weblog comments, left and right, and the lefties wound up looking filthy by comparison.  Wish I had kept the link.  And didn&#039;t cartoonist Rall look at the evidence, and then withdraw his claim that lefties are no more profane and nasty than cons?  He was shocked, I believe, and admitted his surprised disappointment.   

There have to be reasons for what I see as a definite distinction, and yes, I say the liberals are more profane and obnoxious.  I don&#039;t know why they are, but I wonder about the sharp demarcation between individualists and collectivists.  I also recall that cons have been claimed to be more scholarly, reading Richard Wright and Hayek and Bastiat, while few libs have a clue about the intellectual history of Utopian collectivism and left-liberal fascism.  The claim is that cons have evolved and left the paleoright behind, and with it hatred of Jews and other minorities, while the libs are still looking for scapegoats...such as the Israelis.  Too, C. N. Parkinson noted in his &quot;East and West&quot; the self-hatred in the cultural elite of the West, and linked it to art and architecture...with the UN&#039;s physical complex on Turtle Bay his ultimate example of the confluence of inanities.  Lots to ponder here.  

But I dunno.  Maybe libs just feel that you have to get emotionally intense if you are going to get Power to the People and Eat the Rich?  I mean, what rational person would give Billy Ayers a job in education?  You have to be emotionally scrambled....IMHO.

Like your website, will be back for more.</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve read your blog for a long time. Came over from Insty today. And thought I&#039;d blog rolled you ages ago. Evidently not. Rectified that just now.

You&#039;re not alone in this observation. When I posted on abortion, the Lefties were so awful. And don&#039;t post anything negative about Barack Obama. Shooey! The hate! And the misogynistic comments. Half I refused to publish most, they were so bad.

Btw, my birthday is Pearl Harbor Day. Tragic day for multiple reasons.</description>
