Personal responsibility requires a code of ethics.

Nancy Pelosi promised the most ethical Congress in history. Based on the Democrat code of ethics, she was telling the truth and her “truth” is growing.

Traditional responsibility, morality and code of ethics lack nuance, hope, change and flexibility of the moment. We need to be much more like the UN where there is no one better to watch the henhouse than the fox himself. Everything is torture and there are no standards of decency, but watch what you say. That is the world of today.

Get with program.

You are forgetting the entire premise of liberalism: no personal responsibility for anyone except Republicans.

I alerted you, GPW, that I had quoted you in a post at BTB, but warned you would have to wait to see it: As I said yesterday, I have been placed on moderation for disagreeing with his friend and fellow blogger Tim Kincaid. (Kincaid accused me of making a “straw-man” argument against Burroway and himself and threatened me with moderation; when I defended myself… I ended up on moderation!)

Well, if you visit BTB today you’ll find my comment is still awaiting moderation. This isn’t a good sign. Just what did that was unacceptable?

Timothy Kincaid’s criticized a wedding guest soley on the basis of his being a Mormon:

just because Wilson Clyde’s “way of life” includes actively seeking to make you a second class citizen doesn’t mean that you should hold him accountable.

In response I wrote,

Now is that fair, Timothy? You didn’t learn that Wilson Clyde wants homosexuals to be second-class citizens from that article. You are making judgments about him based soley on his religion.

This is a perfect example of a claim the very same article makes:

To liberal America, the Church of the Latter Day Saints and its 12 million members around the world are suddenly public enemy number one. [Emphasis added]

A truly terrible comment, no?

I then decided to add the following statement:

This attitude is all wrong. It is unfair to accuse all opponents of same-sex marriage of wanting gays to be second-class citizens — unfair because it isn’t true.

There are a great many people who want a society that is more friendly to homosexuals but cannot accept that marriage isn’t about uniting the two sexes.

I then proceeded to quote from the essay “Once Again…”

Apparently all of this is just too far beyond civil discussion for Burroway, Kincaid, and the rest at BTB.

If gay-marriage activists like Burroway and Kincaid can’t tolerate criticism like the above, how can they be expected to look at themselves for the failure of gay marriage efforts. To them all opposition to same-sex marriage is anti-homosexual bigotry and that’s that.

As I’ve said before, left wingers base their politics on the assumption that they are a better breed of human being. All the flies in the ointment are because of unpleasant, inferior others.

I took action a little over a week ago in an attempt to wake up the Republican Party with regard to the same-sex marriage debate. On the RebuildTheParty.com forum set up as a place to brainstorm and discuss ideas of how to rebuild the Republican Party, I posted the following idea.

Separation of Marriage and State

I’m hoping I can find support amongst a diverse set of people to back such an idea in order to bring it to the forefront in coming elections.

HRC deserves what they have.

The power of the religious right is so much more limited than gay rights groups imagine. People like me don’t take orders from Jim Dobson or Pat Robertson. But if GLBT groups are going to treat all people like me as if we are, we’re not going to be intimidated into going along with what the GLBT groups want.

The GLBT movement is creating enemies for itself unnecessarily. Young straight Christians like myself can really be the voters that swing things the other way. But if the GLBT movement is going to be a bitter, caustic voice that won’t even listen to concerns that people like me have, they will continue to be counterproductive in their cause. Ultimately, I think it’s the GLBT movement’s hateful tone, not the sex, that is keeping so many Americans voting the way they do.
