There is a more extensive article and a video regarding Andrew "Andii" Viveros then was posted by me earlier.
It seems that this is getting a lot of play.

I Put My Two Cents In On This Article

PICT0013_1_0.jpg I put my two cents in on this article in response to the hate mongers who seemed to be the majority of response on this. There is one one there named "Whiney who is a prime example of the clueless idiots who are responding to this.

Those commenters

I just read some of those comments, same old ugly ignorance. The sort of folks who attack bowling balls with sledge hammers in the mistaken belief that they're "nigger eggs". Good on ya, Jen!

You know....

there are times I am ashamed of being a part of the "conservative" ideology. I'm a fiscal conservative libertarian, but these comments sicken me. I did however like the one about their pastor saying "You can't love God and hate other people". (I am not trying to cause a religious argument with that) Why do some people "get it" and others just preach hatred for no reason?

That Was My Former Pastor Doug Boyd

PICT0013_1_0.jpgThat was my former pastor Doug Boyd. He is a Baptist preacher, but he really understands what it means to be a Christian. He really showed me just what kind of a person he was when he said that.

Not Conservative

RAMI

Dear Shannon:

Those people are not stating anything to do with "Conservative Ideology". They are just hatful bigots. Those who quote the bible, including thos passages regarding cross-dressing have no idea, what it means, or the explanations behind it.

The two fathers of modern post World War Two, American Conservatism, were Barry Goldwater and Bill Buckley. I think that Bill Buckley as a devout Catholic would have thought that such behavior (Transexuality ) was wrong. However, he would have treated Andrew/Andi with courtesy and wit. He would have tried to show her "the folly of her ways", but would have never tolerated what the commentorw to the article represent.

Barry Goldwater, was a fiscal conservative and stood for a strong American. He was also a strong Constitutionalist. It is unknown by many that as Commanding General of the Arizona National Guard, he desegregated that unit before any other Armed Forces Unit. He was also, perhaps not vocal supporter of gay rights. He likely would have opposed "Don't Ask, Don't Tell".

Oh, I like Goldwater, it's a

Oh, I like Goldwater, it's a shame that the media has even helped to denigrate him at times (during the Republican National Convention a couple years back, I remember a couple MSNBC talking heads saying that John McCain was a fitting testament to Goldwater because they were both "military veterans and conservative idiots". Not something I agree with at all.

My pastor is also like the one Jengrl mentioned. As a Southern Baptist, he totally accepts me, saying that to judge a person is against one of the two "true" commandments in Christianity. And yet, we see that despicable judgement on those forums. There are times I seriously would like to just shut the haters up, but as my friends say....haters gonna hate.

You nailed it!

...the apostle John says that if we say we love one another but hate our brother, that it's just as bad as being a murderer. Imagine that. But the word 'hate' there actually means to 'deny love to another...to withhold our love from another person,' much in the same way as many of those who commented have done with this kid.

After all, I'm not 'hating' the kid, am I? I hate the 'sin' but not the sinner, right?

That's what was preached in more than a few of the churches I attended, and I bought into that for too long. If that's loving someone, dear God what does hate actually look like?

Vile

RAMI

Many of those comments were truly disgusting and vile. They were written just to attack and do so using the trashiest language possible. Lanugage only meant for the gutter. The comments for the most part came from disgusting and stupid bigots.

I think that the internet allows the crazies to get a chance to vent their stupidity and hatred in away that makes discovery of who is saying what impossible.
