Christian conservative Bryan Fischer
has targeted Liz Cheney as too pro-gay.
On Tuesday, Cheney, the daughter of
former vice president Dick Cheney, formally announced that she will
be challenging Wyoming Senator Mike Enzi in the Republican primary.
Cheney, like her father, is a gay
marriage supporter.
“The massive problem is that on
values issues, which matter most right now for America's future, she
will fight for the team wearing lavender instead of the team wearing
red, white and blue,” Fischer
wrote in an op-ed.
“In 2009, she inartfully dodged two
attempts to press her to declare her position on sodomy-based
marriage, which in the end means just one thing: she's for it.”
“Liz Cheney will be an undeniably
appealing candidate, and conservatives will be tempted to turn a
blind eye toward her support for the deviancy cabal. But we do so not
only at our peril but at the peril of the future of our country.”
“George Washington famously said, 'Of
all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity,
religion and morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that
man claim the tribute of patriotism who should labor to subvert these
great pillars of human happiness.'”
“The bottom line: Liz Cheney is not,
under Washington's definition, a patriot. She will throw her weight
behind those who are placing improvised explosive devices beneath
both of Washington's indispensable pillars. When the roof collapses
on us all, those who supported Liz Cheney will be partly to blame.”
