Traditional Families – We’ve Got to Defend them

MN Democrat Party Bullying Rep to drop out of race for having gay sexTyler Deaton used to work for the same people who paid Mo Baxley.  Baxley was a progressive shill for out-of-state, NYC based, liberal gay-rights money.    Deaton took over to push the same agenda, with the same money, but as a Republican.  Without getting too technical, the goal was to use political influence to normalize the homosexual lifestyle.  Under Deaton it would be about inclusion in the Republican Party.

Now, Deaton is with the Young Republicans, and he’s passing a verbal Gall stone over the “inclusion” of Rick Santorum in a conference designed to stimulate discussion about expanding the base of the GOP.

“It’s embarrassing for the New Hampshire Republican Party to associate itself with Rick Santorum, especially at a time when we have so much opportunity to be successful,” he told the Granite Status.

“Most Granite Staters, including, Republicans, reject Santorum’s disgusting comments directed at gay and lesbian Americans. He has no role in the future of our party and his invitation to the Northeastern Republican Leadership Conference should be rescinded.”

It sounds to me like there is no room in Tyler’s Tent for people who might disagree with him.  This is, of course, problematic, because he has probably  always been about inclusion.  We need more voices. We need more gay voices.   I guess what he meant was, we need more gay voices, and once we have them, we’re going to kick out everyone who disagrees with us.

This is actually what the progressives did when they took over the Democrat party.  Seeing as Deaton has some ties to left wing money, you’d be right to have suspicions.

Me, personally?  I think that a New Hampshire conference on expanding the base should include at least one guy who represents things that are actually in the NH-GOP Platform, things like this, for example.

We believe that traditional families are the foundation of strong communities, and that family life best nurtures love of country, faith in God, morality and concern for others.

Is this hate speech to Deaton?

Is Tyler of the opinion that marriage (that’s what the traditional family starts with), is really just a political rubber stamp so that people who get off on each other can share their stuff?  No amount of re-engineering the culture will change reality.

Traditional families are less likely to live in poverty, and more likely to raise stable and confident children who are less likely to turn to drugs or crime.  These are facts.  That puts less pressure on society, saves us money on welfare, food stamps, policing, and incarceration.

And the traditional family is a building block for every other part of the Republican platform.  It also lends itself to successive generations of productive citizens who are more likely to emulate the traditional family model they grew up in.   It reduces crime, suicide, poverty, dependency, therapy, indigence, and costs taxpayers less by producing more productive people who pay in rather than take out.  There are exceptions, but they too represent a fraction of the whole.

That’s not to say that a gay couple can’t accomplish the same things.  I have yet to see any reliable data on that.  All other things being equal, I see no reason why they couldn’t.   But despite the gay lobby advertising campaign,  gays account for a fraction of the US population and an even smaller fraction of the Republican party, while the traditional family crowd that grasps the value of protecting that cultural unit and the ceremony of marriage from which it begins, dominates the party and the nation, and for a very good reason; it is the building block of any strong nation and culture.

So is Deaton suggesting we should abandon the latter for the former?  That would be reducing the base to the point of near obscurity, something democrats would truly appreciate.  Something that plays into the left’s role in the decades long assault on the Traditional family.  An assault that has demolished families across a wide demographic, with long term negative impacts on moms, kids, and the nation.

We need strong voices defending the tradition of the family.

If we refuse to explain and then defend the value to two people waiting until marriage to have children; staying married to raise those children; and supporting each other for as long as they can, we are embracing the failed social experiments of the left.

The traditional family is not a feature of the Republican platform so gay activists can accuse us of being bigots and run off its supporters, it is a feature of the platform because traditional marriage is essential for the raising of the next generation and the future of our nation.   If you want to embrace it’s destruction you are in the wrong party.  We need people willing to defend it, gay, straight, bent sideways or backwards, I don’t much care, whether they want to be a part of one, start one or not.  The idea that the people making babies need to be committed to each other and their children is paramount.  No other issue is as important if we are to escape the failed cultural experiments of the left.

Now. If you want to have a conversation about expanding the base,  talk to me about how the gay community is willing to help Republicans fight to protect and defend every family and every marriage for the good of future generations raised in those families– because it is important to our nation.  Talk to me about taking the commitment of someone with the name recognition of Rick Santorum, who is strong on traditional family and marriage, and using his energy and his voice to shape that message in a way that is more inclusive.

That would be something you might do at the conference designed to consider how to broaden the base.

Based on your remarks, assuming they were not published out of context, you would rather be the Gay Avenger, reshaping the future of the GOP into your image for it.  You sound like you want to replace the base of the Republican party.  Well, you are welcome to try.   To be honest, I don’t think you have that far to go.  But if you succeed I am certain you will get exactly what you deserve.  Another Democrat party.  Or was that the point?
