Have I missed his statements on the subject?<br /><br />In as much as you have great disdain for Rand holding your anti Rand commentary until such time as he is the subject of the post would be appreciated. As well as advised.Les Carpenterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01120280762698472496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8549971354391868786.post-63730930210932842292015-06-05T15:19:09.931-04:002015-06-05T15:19:09.931-04:00I agree with Rush that "conservatives and Rep...I agree with Rush that "conservatives and Republicans are the new weirdos, the new kooks". It's only going to get worse for them as the majority of Americans become more accepting. Or acknowledge that it's none of their damn business how someone else lives their lives (Les' point). Although, even if more Republican voters change their attitudes (along with all of America), they will still have the problem with the base (and the fact that it's the base that votes in primaries, so Repub candidates are forced to pander to them). This is very good for the Left, which does not have this problem.<br /><br />The Libertarians might argue that they also do not have this problem, but the Libertarian Republican Randal Paul is running for the GOP nomination, so he has the same base problem. Although Randal is against "redefining marriage". Which is not very Libertarian. Nor is his support for "fetal person hood" (or fertilized egg person hood).Dervish Sandershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13671865801885224353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8549971354391868786.post-85085934858562045472015-06-05T14:22:31.482-04:002015-06-05T14:22:31.482-04:00You are 100% accurate BB...

I guess it depends on who is offended, or doing the offending.<br /><br />These three case are all over the map, and it will be interesting to see where writ large, the GOP candidates come down.<br /><br />Some advisors have openly told their people to just not get dragged into a discussion on these issues because it will end badly. Candidates for the GOP nomination are between a rock and a hard place.<br /><br />Appear to accept the LGBT crowd and they will lose the base. GO with the base, and they lose the young crowd. Not sure how they handle this.Dave Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16777087329254991970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8549971354391868786.post-52814039255919354212015-06-05T14:09:57.651-04:002015-06-05T14:09:57.651-04:00Even sexual issues have become politicized.

According to FoxNews, the child molesters, Duggar of<br />'19 and Counting, and Dennis Hastert, have been targeted by 'liberals', but forgiven and accepted by<br />religious conservatives. As for Jenner, I suspect publicity and $$ are at play in the current media<br />frenzy over the bizarre. I knew a kid through grade and HS who was a girl one year, a boy the next,<br />a girl for a couple of years...and he/she shunned the limelight and barely survived a miserable childhood.BB-Idahohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01388509941702241290noreply@blogger.com
