"We Will Never, Ever Betray You..."
(Why aren't you reading this at the new website?)

---
Wow, just wow:
For my fellow Americans who are gay — I just advise you how Bill Clinton treated your cause in 1993 after you went flat out for him in 1992. You will be betrayed again, if you are fool enough to back Democrats in 2008. True, we conservative Christians might not seem the logical home for you, but you do know where we stand, we are ready to compromise and we will never, ever betray you.
Let's get one thing clear: Non-partisan non-Democratic gays like me are entitled, indeed obligated, to remind gay Democrats just what Democratic politicians have and have not done for gays in the past.

But that is not the domain of conservative Christians, who have waged jihad against gays for the past several years, pandering to the most ignorant, most vicious, most un-Christian elements of their base.

You compare yourself to Democratic politicians? You equate their "do little that is good" with your "do much that is evil"?

How dare you.

Almost all conservative Christians obsess over hurting us politically. Many obsess over hurting us economically. A few hurt us physically. Some are willing to sacrifice children for the sake of hurting us. A handful would gladly send us to the gas chambers.

But you will never, ever, betray us? (Your italics, not mine.)

Save that insane blather for the Log Cabin Republicans. Leave the gay Democrats to me. I've earned the right to critique them. You've earned nothing but the right to see your grandchildren apologize for your sins.
