Many conservatives appreciate principled, traditional positions that are pro-life and for lower taxes. Those who propose such legislation are routinely demonized by a few who are not pro-life and want higher taxes.
When traditionalist legislators take stands, they are viciously criticized. For instance, “Our representative is against homosexual marriage, therefore he may be a homosexual.” This sleaziness of this kind of thinking is seen by asking ourselves “Are Mothers Against Drunk Driving closet alcoholics?” “Are those against cruelty to animals sadists at heart?” “Are those of us who support Israel actually anti-Semites?”
Such legislators are correct on a higher level, as well. A quick google search of “homosexual life expectancy” shows several studies indicating those life spans are twenty to forty years shorter than those of heterosexuals.
Traditional legislation on marriage does not encourage life-shortening activities. Such legislators are not killing people by popularizing dangerous activities.
It is a mystery why those who encourage, for instance, homosexual marriage do not value the lives of their neighbors enough to encourage abstinence from life-shortening practices.
Such people are concerned mightily about largely imaginary dangers of high-fat school lunches, whole milk, Teflon, trans-fats, and ozone holes.
In many schools, leftists work to put pro-homosexual, life-shortening agendas into the curricula. At the same time, the very same people complain bitterly about pop machines and whole milk in those same schools. School pop machines in schools and whole milk in cafeterias have not been proven to have shortened anyone’s life by twenty to forty minutes, much less by twenty to forty years.
Not one leftist has ever written to advise changing or abstaining from sexual practices that shorten lives. Rather than loving their neighbors, leftists use them as cannon fodder in their war on life.
Like Marxists who deny Stalin’s gulags, and Nazis who deny Hitler’s death camps, modern leftists refuse to admit the relationship between homosexual activity and early death. They’d rather that their neighbors be politically correct, even if it costs them half their lives.
In this bizarre battle for souls, those who are dying at needlessly young ages turn for help to those who encourage the practices that are killing them. And, those to whom they turn pretend to help, even as the deaths increase.
If we ask how those who support early deaths are different than murderers, we are met with claims of how sensitive they are.
Still, the deaths go on.
