The religious right's penchant for using personal "in your face" attacks is well demonstrated in this column. Why does that seem to be their prime modus operandi, even when criticizing others for such behaviors?

Perhaps we can also discuss why the left wing liberals are so 'in your face' with issues like homosexuality and why they keep demeaning those who profess a belief in Christ like the author of this piece? Your author paints with a broad brush Lowell, far too broad. |

Buddy, That was a good deal of my motivation for posting this column. So many posters here have decried the left's "in your face" behaviors of those favoring equal rights for homosexuals, I thought it appropriate to provide information which says it certainly isn't just the "left" who practice such behaviors. Whether the author paints with too broad of a brush is certainly debatable, but I will hazard an observation that the response which he received from the religious right was, if not less than Christian, certainly "in your face." |

Colo, if I called myself a "Law Abiding Citizen" yet continually broke the Law, would you agree with my assertion that I was "Law Abiding"? Being a Christian is more than a title, it is a lifestyle. If a horse proclaimed himself a zebra, everyone would laugh because he doesn't have the attributes of a zebra. Similar, but something is missing... |

I understand the liberal desire is to find ground where the two sides agree. "We libs may think changing our name is a step toward respectability, but to the Christian right, evil is evil - no matter how you spell it." I agree. "A rose by any other name...?" |

No, If you told me this in the 1980s, I would probably just assume that you drive a great number of miles on interstate highways. On a more serious note, I'm sure that you rely on folks who are experts in the law to interpret those laws. It is interesting that "experts" in scripture do not agree as to the meaning of those scriptures. Don't you think so? And please don't go now to "anyone who disagrees with me cannot be an "expert." |

"Then there's the gay issue. While liberals push hard for gay rights, we need to admit that bringing the country around to accepting gay marriage is too big of a leap - for now." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If that is the Lib stance, then they need to go back and study the bible some more. Sure would like a Lib to point out where it says in the bible that gay marriage is right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Edited for spelling.... |

too big a leap for now, then, tomorrow, next week, next month, next year, next century, next millinium. Agree with this poster. Where is a gay marriage stated as right in the bible. |

Actually, I think what has happened is that traditional liberalism has been hijacked by the crazy left and the Democratic Party along with it. Liberals in the public mind have been identified with the folks of ACLU, NAMBLA, Hollywood, etc. It's sorta like what has happend with lawyers--there are so many slime bag ambulance chasers, like the one who just ran for VP on the Democratic ticket, that the entire profession has become characterized in the public mind as--slime bag ambulance chasers. You may want to take the cue, Lowell, and start calling yourself a "progressive". Of course that brings up the whole discussion of whether "progressives" advocate progress or just more of the same moral decay, victimization, high taxation, re-writing of the Constitution, etc., and how any of this could be confused with progress. |

""Liberals have embraced the more unsavory characteristics of American life, such as the American Civil Liberties Union, the North American Man/Boy Love Association, flag burning, disparaging the Pledge of Allegiance and a determination to impose the homosexuality lifestyle on high school students." Is this not true? |

When a person committs a crime, which could be interpreted as 'in your face', wouldn't the whole process of putting that person behind bars be considered 'in your face'? |
