Kini has a wonderful blog on which he includes a photo diary of his “What’s For Dinner” evening meal. AND he appears to share meals with (based upon the ongoing photos he shares on his blog) an excellent cook or to be one!

Wonderful to read your comments. I’m venturing to estimate that there are more Conservatives and/or ‘just’ ‘ordinary’ voters on the Right who reason as you and I do (as stated here) than this attempt by a “minority impurist” element who continues to attempt to rework terms to mean the opposite of what they are expected to be (it’s a form of con-artistry, as to those who do so — that “minority impurist” group I just referred to to apply the same method of speech about them as is being applied upon Conservatives [referring to Conservatives as "minority purists" -- read my post for the quote]).

Had this group (or any group) actually be seeking “fiscal conservativism” and be organized for that purpose (and be included in CPAC accordingly), they’d be such, but they aren’t, they’re organized upon homosexuality and because of that, as a homosexual activist group.

I’m glad they’re offering to vote as Republicans but I think by this point most adults have learned that it’s a sales pitch to further other efforts: “we’ll vote with you if you support our activism”.

Displaying Sexual orientation, in any form, is not an acceptable behavior when dealing with the issues that front this country. What is done behind closed doors need not be shoved in our faces and forced to be accepted as “normal behavior”. Therefore, making a political group, GOProud, who’s agenda is obviously to make homosexuality an acceptable mainstream activity within a mostly conservative values is abhorrent. Call yourselves anything else, just don’t call me to the dinner table to eat this crap.

After all, you do not see heterosexual forming groups flaunting their sexual prowlness (if I might make up a word). Why should we, conservatives, heterosexuals, libertarians, and any others that just want to confront the issues that govern this country, be subject to your bedroom desires, rather than be foremost in the battle of ideas? Is GOProud an idea or an agenda? The answer is painfully obvious. Any dissent is quickly reckoned as hate.

It is unacceptable behavior by either any group, persons, or individuals to single out anyone as being hateful towards any group that expresses a activity that is considered either immoral, deviant, or repugnant. Neither is it acceptable behavior by any group to force the acceptance of such behavior onto others that do not agree with such physiological processes.

To use an Obamaism, “Let me be clear”: Do not tell me I have to accept your lifestyle when you make it public for all to see. I have curtains in my house for a reason. So should you. There are larger issues to deal with in this country, on this planet, than your sexual preferences. It is not a matter hate speech. It’s a matter of too much information that I really don’t need to know. If you’re gay, you’re gay, fine. I’m hetero, you gatta problem with dat?

Get to the issues that confront us all, and not to batteries not included and once size fits all. Stop being a victim and start being a part of the solution.

There, I said it…. hate me if you will.

Suzy, Mahalo (Thanks) for letting me vent on your most excellent post. I enjoy reading your articles and appreciate your opinions. All the Best, Kini.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year (Mele Kalikimaka a me Hau’oli Makahiki Hou). We’re having leg of lamb for Christmas dinner!
