I do not believe that the truth can ever be in conflict with God.

In academia, left-liberalism is so entrenched its advocates' debating skills have gone rusty. When you've been talking to yourself for decades and imposing speech codes on everyone else, your ability to argue coherently - let alone entertainingly - inevitably wanes.

In many ways, my attachment to human freedom was completely compatible with my right to live freely as a homosexual.

I think sex is completely absurdly demonized in our culture. But in the end, however much sex you want to have, with however many people in how many ways, to be loved and to love is what human beings really want.

I've never been a partisan, I've never been a Republican, I've never been a Democrat, ever, which is why I was very frustrated being called a gay Republican when I never attached myself to that.

My own view is simply that there are some very basic rules very simple rules that apply to all writing in a way, which is: don't lie if you're wrong, correct do not misrepresent and try and keep oneself intellectually honest - which means, as a writer, the very difficult task in public of admitting you were wrong.

The one thing we know about torture is that it was never designed in the first place to get at the actual truth of anything it was designed in the darkest days of human history to produce false confessions in order to annihilate political and religious dissidents. And that is how it always works: it gets confessions regardless of their accuracy.

The Tea Party we were told is only about economics not true. It was always about economics and social issues. They just hid the social issues and now we just see who they really are.

I think very few people are gay. I'm a two-percenter myself.

I watched Nancy Pelosi and Tom Daschle. Good grief. What whining weenies.

How can you tell when a political ideology has become the equivalent of a religion?

What gay culture is before it is anything else, before it is a culture of desire or a culture of subversion or a culture of pain, is a culture of friendship.

I'm gay. I always have been and I always will be, and I'm happy.

Michael Moore: a man who never without an excuse for keeping murdering tyrants in power. But now he's supporting the man who bombed Milosevic into submission? How about an explanation, Mr Moore?

Obama is looking good because he kept his nerve and retained his restraint. That's a tough combo: nerve and restraint. It takes a cold-bloodedness to pull this off, and there are times when ice seems to run through the man's veins.

What modernity requires is not that you cease living according to your faith, but that you accept that others may differ and that therefore politics requires a form of discourse that is reasonable and accessible to believer and non-believer alike. This religious restraint in politics is critical to the maintenance of liberal democracy.
