:D:D:D

You had me at hello.

"skittles!"

good for new york.

and Divorce Attorneys :D

!!!


i just think it's a shame, that all these years after 1776 people still have to have laws passed in this country to have rights that are already conferred on some citizens.

I think it's a shame that some people (gay and straight) bend over and pay almost 50% of their income to taxes while others pay nothing. And to think those wise people still around in 1776 had protested to a 8.3% tea tax a few years before. LOL

You always turn every thread into an anti-liberal/Democratic rant. Back to the topic...this could be a huge advancement for gay rights, depending on the outcome of the court case in California.

nice segue. :rolleyes:

That unfortunately is the nature of politics, no politician...right or left...is ever in a hurry to take a stand on a controversial issue. Before we blame the politicians however we need to understand that the fact that equal rights is ever a controversial issue says much about society, folks are slow to accept those that they perceive as "different" and old fears lead to hatred and intolerance...the good news is that America is on the right path as uphill as it may be at times.

Good for New York.

Or put them BEHIND!!!!:eek:

Before we beat ourselves up too much consider


Homosexuality is illegal in most African countries. Those who show their gay orientation openly often face violence as well as discrimination.????

How ironic is that? :zz::zz::wf

Dell. Seriously - please go google:

C Street Kenya Homosexual Congressman Chris Smith

And get back to us about what you find. The irony regarding intolerance towards homosexuality in certain African countries, and it's relationship to "christian" American government officials, will astound you, I'm sure.

When Chris Smith starts calling for gays to be killed then I'll put him in the same league. Until then he's just an ignorant fossil.

And once again, you've proven that you haven't got a clue what you are talking about.

i've read this post twice and still don't quite grasp what your point was in posting this. what has kenya to do with the u.s. or with new york and it's recent move forward?

and by the way, i think we should be a leader in pushing rights for all. i'm embarrassed that other countries are further along than we are regarding rights for some individuals.

Show me!

Where did Chris Smith ever call for gays to be killed?

Ever?

Or is disagreeing with the right for gays to marry equal to murder in your mind?

You can't justify intolerance by pointing to greater intolerance by others, what ignorant folks in other countries do has nothing to do with what ignorant folks in this country do. Westboro homophobia isn't as "bad" as radical Muslim homophobia...obviously but so what?

It's the self-loathing I can't stand. A few decades ago we were a proud, great country and now after we've progressed even further we're a bunch a racists and bigots? We are arguably the most diverse, tolerant country in the world and of course we have Westboro fools but overall we're doing just fine especially considering how young a country we are.

We need to stop self-analyzing in search of guilt and get back to work. We need a President who understands private business and citizens come ahead of government programs, who puts residents of Joplin MO ahead of Taliban leaders’ bribes, and who understands we are part of the people of the world, not their provider. And considering the money that has been plundered the last 2 1/2 years the last thing we need now is to raise the debt ceiling. Time to start answering those debt collectors' calls and get straight. We've done enough and should be loved not hated for it.

our money has been 'plundered' for far longer than the last 2 1/2 years, a fact you continue to ignore. of course, we can't do anything now about what's past, we can only use what we've learned to change now and in the future. the debt ceiling has to be raised now, but can certainly be lowered later. we can't afford to default on our current obligations. that would only cause more and bigger problems.
the fact that we are a progressive society is laudable, but we can certainly do better. we have done a lot, but we have not done enough.

I told you what to search on. Try Uganda, homosexuals, C Street.

Look. I know you don't read newspapers, or watch news shows. You read the occasion right wing blog that gives you your superficial worldview. But sometimes ya just gotta squeeze out some objective critical thinking, and do a little serious observation on your own.

Wow. You do not live in the United States that I live in.

Too bad for you, it's pretty nice here :)

What is this world coming too...Sheeesh!!!!!

what are you talking about?

If you are familiar with his ( assume he is a male) other posts he makes Dell and Joey seem like moderates

i was going to ask the good lord to give some details of what he meant, but i figured it was pretty clear already...
cause goodness knows that if people get rights, it certainly affects other folks' lives in a bad way. :rolleyes:

Michele Bachman"s comment was that if elected Prez she would try and pass a constitutional ammendment outlawing gay marriage. And this is an example of "less goverment"?

No that would be considered "bad government".

The radical right seems to have fallen in love with Constitutional amendments, first it was to outlaw abortions and now gay marriage...use to be a left wing idea. Michelle Bachman announced her run for the Republican nomination today and she seems to have some support. It will be interesting to see how she stands up to the scrutiny which all candidates are subjected to...I suspect she will make Sarah Palin seem like a Mensa member.

So far (this past weekends public appearances) Bachmann is sticking to her reputation and long history of "factually pants-on-fire" falsehoods as she throws around "facts and figures".

For example: this weekend she denied she made any income off the family farm - although all her tax forms for past years have her income from the farm listed. She was reminded of this, but still maintained she makes no income off the family farm (because the family farm gets alot of government farm subsidies)

She's a strange one. But hey, she's only in politics to do God's bidding, and was "called" (as Palin said she was)

She also screwed up at her Presidential announcement in Iowa today and said John Wayne lived in the town where she grew up. No, John Wayne lived 150 miles away. John Wayne Gacy lived in her town.

Bachmann s.hit to kids ratio is 8 to 1. A phenomenal accomplishment.

Bachmann will be more fun to watch than Palin.

"What an amazing imagination," marvels Arnold. "Her ideology is so powerful that she can construct a reality just on a moment's notice."

Serial liar, batshiat crazy. Republican Primaries 2012 wahoo! It'll be fun ;)

I don't think it's fun. This country is doomed.

Lol...hardly...I just love my country...hope it comes back one of these decades

yeah, i saw that. won't happen. even if enough dummies voted for her, the amendment wouldn't happen either.

from what i read on slate, john wayne's folks were from waterloo..on the flub scale, not nearly as big as the paul revere mistake by palin. what made that one worse was sarahs insistence that she didn't get that wrong. here's hoping her jury duty lasts for a long time.

And gay people don't?
