[QUOTE]Originally posted by Daniel: [QB] If it is your own personal opinion, then I could frankly care less if you support the ideas laid out in Mein Kampf, but for a POLITICIAN to make a public statement in such a manner is appalling. To tie in anti-gay statements and religion to a rejection for an appearance is unacceptable. Imagine one of our supreme justices or the President making such a comment if it puts it into perspective. Would they dare? I don't think they would. If the President said he was an avid supporter of Hitler and believed Jews were an inferior race and was therefore not going to make public appearances for any Jewish organization, he would probably be forced out of office. Also, there are more tactful ways to say the same thing, and probably without ruining one's prospects for re-election. Such as "I'm sorry, but I cannot support your organization due to my own personal beliefs, and must decline your invitation." Not "I cannot support you! All homosexuals will burn in Hell for their sins!" * * * I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. - The original Pledge of Allegiance [This message has been edited by Daniel (edited April 15, 2001).] [/QB][/QUOTE]
