In fact, you don't know that he doesn't chastise her in private.
Yes, as long as he keeps his unspeakably immoralities in the closet who are we to care? Now, thats what I call social progress!

I'm sure Cheney is quaking in his boots at the prospect
As am I.

No more scarlet letters, no more burning at the stake - what a sorry state of affairs.
Tell that to George Allen or Rush Limbaugh or me for that matter. All branded with the scarlet 'R'.

Why worry about immoral thoughts? Cheney is guilty of overt immoral actions by robbing the public coffers blind to reward his friends and eventually line his own pockets.
That is just the definition of "politician".

It's such a shame that he's not allowed to use his antiquated religious dogma to reject and condemn his own daughter
It is indeed. We have never endured a more strictly enforced moral imperative in this society. When a father cannot chastise his own daughter for a lifestyle that he undoubtedly disapproves of for fear of being publically attacked for having 'immoral' thoughts there is no doubt our society is in extreme trouble.

Perhaps is just none of his fucking business

Just criticizing his position as intolerant which, frankly, is the very definition of intolerance.

So by that definition, you're the most intollerant person in the Soapbox.

you wish to believe that a society that condemns and ostracizes those who express moral revulsion at homosexuality is an improvement over one that formally did the same to homosexuality itself
Oh, right. I forgot about all those crimes against gay-bashers. How they get fired from their job, kicked out of the military, beaten by cops and the like.

Again, if that is your belief, I have no problem with it. But it still represents a moral world view, and one that has become so pervasive and well established that even a vice president of the US dare not defy it. If you are comfortable with that particular flavor of moral authoritarianism than I guess you've come to the right place.

What moral authoritarianism? It's not against the law to call someone a faggot. There is no equivalence between being shamed for calling someone a faggot and being murdered because you are gay. So, I am quite comfortable with that. You seem think that freedom means you can exclude anyone from society that you don't like. That's not mine, and I don't mind that we don't have it that way.

Yeah parents should just pick someone for their kids to marry and shoot them if they disagree. Fuck wit

Probably a little extreme. I think a public beating would suffice in most cases.
