Taken Out Behind The Log Cabin
Memo to the Log Cabin Republicans:
Hey folks. I've been watching the news for the past couple of weeks and I couldn't help but wonder how you were dealing with recent events surrounding the gay marriage debate. It's been a real barn-burner, what with San Francisco and New Paltz, NY marrying off gay couples as fast as they can say, "I do."
Unfortunately, the news from within your own party doesn't seem to be quite as good. President Bush, your party's leader, just sold you out faster than Martha Stewart's Imclone stock. Remember how he talked so much about "compassionate conservatism" and "the big tent" when you were helping to get him elected back in 2000? Doesn't that seem like a long time ago?
I also note with some amusement the press release, still linked to from the front page of your web site, congratulating Arnold Schwarzenegger on his victory in the California recall election. He sold you down the river last week, too. Even went so far as to call gay marriages "an imminent risk to civil order." Good thing you went to bat for him.
You really don't get it, do you? The other members of "your" party want you around about as much as they want a flaming case of gonorrhea. All of this talk about "inclusion" and "compassion" is just that, a bunch of talk. Dubya knows very well what tune he has to dance to if he's going to keep some right-wing nut-job like Pat Robertson from pulling a Nader on him. There's nothing noble about supporting people who think your very existence is abhorrent just because you happen to agree on tax policy or national defense.
