GOP Needs To Embrace Gays Part 2
John McCain’s top adviser from the presidential campaign urged fellow Republicans on Friday to warm up to gay rights and warned that the GOP risks becoming the “religious party” with its opposition to same-sex marriage. (link)
I’ve said roughly the same thing myself here. The Democratic Party is antagonistic to religion – particularly Christianity and Judaism. The Republican Party can protect the religious at the same time it champions gay rights as part of its libertarian roots. It would be a balancing act, but no different from the one that allows Barney Frank and Jim Webb to call themselves “Democrats.”
Just as the Democratic Party became invigorated by its extreme Left, the Republicans must return to libertarianism. People are tired of “RINOs” and “Democrat-Lite”. It’s time for the call for smaller government to cover the Bedroom – and perhaps even the legalization of drugs.
