Christians and Gays Behaving Badly

First, Elizabeth has the audacity ( a quality I generally like) to tell us how Jesus would do it.

Then Donna V, while tossing out a nice Seinfeld reference, says that something I said proves Ms. Scalia’s point.

Well, may I ask what Scalia point is proved? Please, enlighten me.

Then Log Cabin puts in her two cents, not attacking the points I’m trying to make, but attacks me. Ad hominem after ad hominem (third declension, accusative case)for the unwashed.

Then, I re-read Donna’s note, and realize Donna called Elizabeth opionated, me opionated and herself opionated. How is that relevant to anything?

Let me remind you, though, that I’m not the one who said she knows what Jesus would do. Just a tad presumptuous, don’t you think?

I’m not the one who knocked a cross out of an elderly woman’s arms.

Little old Rachel is simply saying what she thinks of Ms. Scalia’s article.

In case you didn’t look, the subhead says, “In the wake of Proposition 8, gays need to stop the thuggery and Christians need to cut the condescension.”

Not only does Elizabeth in her infinite wisdom know what Jesus would do, but she knows that the Christians were being condescending. Neither of which she knows to be accurate, unless the lass has some prescience powers.

So where did all this start? Apparently, with a Michelle Malkin voice over talking about a bunch of gay thugs intimidating an old woman, and knocking her to the ground.

We have physically intimidating gay thugs on the one hand, and praying and singing elderly Christians on the other. Equals?

Not quite I would say.

Reminds me of Russia invading Georgia and Obama telling the two of them to show restraint. Or a better comparison, it’s September 1, 1939, Germany just attacked Poland, and somebody tells both countries to show restraint.

Does anybody out there get what I’m trying to say?

Before (it feels like a past life) I said equating the two (gays and Christians) is a little like equating concentration camp guards and captives. I never implied Elizabeth was a concentration camp guard. I’ll state for the record that I think Elizabeth is a wonderful person. Somebody who knows her, in a comment, even said as much.

Well, I’ve said my piece. Thanks for listening. Sorry for any typos. My proofreading sucks.
