Not here or on your blog or on others I regularly peruse ..... but I do travel from blog to blog and I occasionally come across opinions that I find deeply unpleasant. Maybe it's more of a religious thing than a political thing but you have to admit that many (most) fundamentalist Christians are right wing in their politics!<br /><br />I am well aware that some elements of the media seek to make fun of the far right in America. Believe me, I attach no more credibility to them than I do to right wing bias against "liberals".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075932024272546688.post-36815077028333237882010-07-29T15:39:58.349-07:002010-07-29T15:39:58.349-07:00Cube,

People on the "far right" do not have a problem with gays. As The Kid says, Its the redneck a$$holes that have a problem with gays. Or those fringe groups like the KKK that are against homsexuals, period. I personally don't think one's sexual relationship should determine whether a couple gets benefits or not. If two relatives are living together they should have the same right to know the others medical care, other benefits, etc. also.Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16040553825059591114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075932024272546688.post-54789701949833524742010-07-29T14:48:52.174-07:002010-07-29T14:48:52.174-07:00Cambridge Lady.

I'll guess it was your liberal media and your liberal thought processes.<br /><br />Conservatives - which make up the Extreme Right - don't have the slightest problem with gays. There aren't "a variety of feelings on this" among conservatives.<br />We don't care what they do as long as they don't try to shove anything down our throat which would go the same for TV Evangelists or Jehovah's Witnesses that ring our doorbells.<br /><br />Today's less is this. - People who have a problem with gays are redneck A$$holes, not conservatives.

As long as gay couples are given all the same benefits etc. without perverting the meaning of marriage then I am fine with that.Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16040553825059591114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075932024272546688.post-54765949319928314432010-07-29T02:21:59.108-07:002010-07-29T02:21:59.108-07:00Chris,

I can't believe he sees eye-to-eye with the extreme right in the USA, who will despise him, not because of his character or any of his actions, but simply because he is gay.
