Tommy,
Obviously, (like usual) you didn't read the article that I posted. If anything, the article should have made you stop, think, and look inward. If you would have read the article, you would have some interpersonal questions. You might not agree with everything contained within the article, but if you would have stopped and read it, the article would have caused anyone with a logical thought process to stop and think. I believe that you are an intelligent thoughtful individual, you are just hell bent on revising history and getting your militant Gay agenda crammed down Americans' throats.
Take the time to read the article Tom. You don't always have to be on stage here, slinging out rhetorical dogma and mimmicking the militant far left's spin. On occasion, it wouldn't hurt to look at other perspectives, and use the common sense that God gave to you! Stop and think!
