But wait, don't the homosexual advocates want public school teachers to focus on teaching boys how to have homosexual sex? Don't the lesbian advocates want public school teachers to focus on teaching girls how to have lesbian sex?

-- Conservative bent of Utah favors GOP - Brian Passey
http://www.usatoday.com/news/politics/election2008/2008-09-22-50states-utah_N.htm
(DIERSEN: The Republican Party platform is conservative. Conservatives are the base of the Republican Party. Conservatives want candidates elected who can and will advance the Republican Party platform. Beyond sadly, beyond outrageously, and beyond unethically, some people continue to hold leadership positions in the Illinois Republican Party who have demonstrated by their actions and by their failures to act that they would be overjoyed if each and every conservative in Illinois would immediately move to Utah. Some of those "leaders" even claim to be "conservative" themselves. Obviously, that means those "leaders" would be overjoyed if the Republican Party would cease to exist in Illinois. What does that say about those "leaders?" What does that say about those who keep those "leaders" in power?)
