Running with the conservative pack, not the Brin-l pack. Its pretty obvious you have a dearth of support on the list, and yes, I admire you for standing up against so many pretty much simultaneously. But I do wholeheartedly disagree with your position, no matter how much I like you personally. I hope you can appreciate that I am telling you how it looks from where I stand, and not just piling on and slagging you. > > I put great effort into my defense of the Federal Marriage Amendment, and I > doubt that you will find anything much like my post on that subject from > any other right-wing source. > Yeah.....I can tell you put a lot into it. And no, I don't think you are cribbing from other sources. I just find it hard to credit that a thoughtful person like you, who has a gay best friend, who always seems to care about his country *and* his countrymen/countrywomen/countryfolk/whatever would lend his support to this amendment. For me, its anti-freedom, anti-equality, and anti-American. And its obvious. You have written quite a bit about legalistic type stuff, but what I would like to know is why you would think this is a *good* thing. Why is it *needed*? How will it strengthen our nation? To your credit, and a lot of credit should go your way on this, you have not repeated some of the things other rightwing sources have said that amounts to prejudice and in some extreme cases bigotry. Matter of fact, I tip my hat to all the conservatives on Brin-L and say to you that you have my respect and my thanks for being people I can *easily* respect. xponent On The Verge Of A Metadiscussion Maru rob _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
