[Vision2020] Jeb Bush Featured in Gay Marriage Ads

[Donovan Arnold]

Sunil,
   
  Why do all of your emails come across as a legal cross examination of somebody on the stand? Are you not capable of speaking like a human being instead of a lawyer? We aren't inside a court room, and Pat Kraut is a not witness for the defense for you to try and discredit. 
   
  I think it is obvious to me, that Pat Kraut was trying to engage in conversation about the state trying to force the church to behave in a particular manner, she used interracial marriage as a similar instance as a historical reference. She was not advocating that it was wrong as your setting up your argument. 
   
  You turned the conversation into one about the personal beliefs of Pat Kraut. She didn't want to go that route because you try to turn her words against her rather than just having the conversation. 
   
  Best,
   
  Donovan

  Pat,

You made a statement about interracial marriage, and I asked you to explain 
what you meant. I didn't want to jump to conclusions about what you were 
trying to say, and asked for clarification.

You responded with a comment about ignorance of history, but little, if 
nothing, by way of explanation of your statement.

Please do not now pretend that others are not willing to go along with you. 
If you choose to make vague statements and then refuse to clarify them when 
requested, it is not others who are failing to join you in dialog. You are 
refusing to participate in any meaningful dialog, not the others here.
