Conservative Ideals

[MountainMan]

And more than one side. I wasn't going to sit there and read 31 pages of a thread but I read enough for a while to see that no one, straight, gay, or bi, took the high road.

Word...There was no high road anywhere in that thread and to be honest, it should be moved to the thunderdome.

No but the views of a few select individuals reflect badly on the board as a whole.

Not really because we don't think that of the DU but for only the fact that they're consistent.

Do they include hating teh gays? Is it necessary to be conversant in the top 10 gay slurs in order to claim to be a conservative? Must you be able to use the term "queer", "homo", and "faggot" in while wishing your mother a Merry Christmas in order to lay claim to being a conservative?

Just wondering.

No it is not required.

Now let me ask you this. Do you feel that your right to not hear the words
that you do not like trumps my right to say the words that I like to use?

I'm thinking it's the attitude more than the words.

And do you see that on both sides?

IMO - no. But then my insistence on treating gay people with some measure of human dignity and respect has resulted in my being called both PC and leftist more than once especially on here. I see nothing wrong with ridiculing behavior - but the person is not the behavior.

And some people ignore other parts of their personality for the trait or behavior that is their personal bugbear.

I admit I didn't. But I sure as hell ain't sorry and I sure as hell will do it again. If people think they're going just let me swallow whatever bullshit they have to say about people like me because I'm on their side politically? You must be kidding. Libs are one thing, but I WILL beat harder, meaner and dirtier on someone that I think should KNOW BETTER.
