Reply #61: But the actual point

[Bluenorthwest]

is that Warren is still totally active in his bigotry, fully committed to it, and just had a huge political victory for his prejudice. So to embrace and elevate him is not the same as accepting a repentant and altered person, who is no longer attackng minorities. And you OP's point was that Black and Warren are similar stories. Such a thing could happen, sure. But it has not happened yet, and to assist Warren as he is now, is to assit Warren as he is. It is that simple.
And let's be clear about the subject. The subject is secular legal standing and equality. If Warren is skeeved out by gay people, like Fishcer was toward blacks, I do not care if that changes. That is about Warren. If he, like Fishcer, became an activist in my favor, what remains in his heart is simply not my business. Sure it would be wonderful to see the haters become lovers, but all that matters to me is that they cease the active hate. Warren can think I have cooties for the rest of his days, no law can change that. And no man can know what is in any other's heart. That is why only actions matter.
An opprotunist is one who has no principle but his own advantage. For a person to claim to be 'holy' and yet be an opportunist means he is a liar, a cheat, a con man, and his own should rightly call him blasphemer. To use the divine for the agenda of your own power is what some call 'taking the name of God in vain."
