This reads more like a strawman argument than anything substantial.

(Sigh) I know you are trying, so instead lashing out at you like I would like I will help:

A fallacy is an argument or belief based on erroneous reasoning. Straw man is one type of logical fallacy. Straw man occurs when someone argues that a person holds a view that is actually not what the other person believes. Instead, it is a distorted version of what the person believes. So, instead of attacking the person's actual statement or belief, it is the distorted version that is attacked.

I'm not straw manning him. His point was "The Gay agenda" as they commonly put it is a form of Moral Decay in this country.

I used examples where those in great Moral Authority are just as corrupt if not WORSE than the example that he used.

He sees gay's in liberal Hollywood as morally debased and corrupting the world.

I see Conservative Morality as hypocritical and predatory because they hide their evil behind morality. I see what they are doing as morally debased and corrupting the world.

See the difference?

Free enterprise, private ownership, traditional values. Most Conservatives are moral, most liberals.
