You can see the video over at Breitbart TV. The bottom line, for Sarah Palin, is that no group which can contribute to the debate in a reasonable form should be excluded. I agree with that view.
The folks at GOProud – just like the folks over at the much-linked Gay Patriot – are good, solid conservatives on most issues. They just get it wrong on the issue of gay marriage. Of course, they would rejoin that I get it wrong on that issue – which, in turn, makes me laugh a little bit and then offer up some prayers for their conversion.
But, bottom line, there are lots of conservatives out there whom I disagree with on this, that or the other issue. Some conservative groups advocate for free trade – even with bestial regimes like China’s. Some conservative groups insist upon a hands-off attitude about the filth in popular culture. Some conservative groups are ok with the Federal Reserve. On and on it goes – the key is that on most issues, most of the time, I and all conservatives agree on the core issues of limited government and individual liberty. GOProud may want gay marriage, but they don’t want to force the State of Utah to embrace it because a couple gay guys in San Francisco want it. As such, I’m able to work with them on the common issues – lowering taxes, cutting government, strong national defense, etc.
One thing to keep in mind: there is much wrong with this world and the ultimate fix for it is beyond our means. God will eventually call a halt to all this, judge all and then a new world will be created. Until that time, the tools God chooses to use in making this world better are, my dear friends, us. Flawed, fallible us. We must work with what we have. Yes, homosexual sex is wrong. Those who engage in it do put themselves in grave peril. I urge homosexuals to stop. But I, too, sin…and if someone were to say to me that because a man has a particular moral failing he cannot participate, at all, in helping to make the world better, I would ask: who, then, will do it?
