NEWS: Another Hypocritical Republican Outted

The editor of this should be fired for not fixing the spelling of "Virgina"....nice editing!

Thomas Jefferson said to serve the public you must become the property of the public. or words to that effect. then he smoked some opium and went to an orgy.

Oh. My. God. I actually agree with Patrick on something.

If he's got the backing of the Christian Coalition, I don't see the problem with it. It's hypocritical by his own standards.

no, that would be wrong, because I don't live in Arizona.

Of course it could have been one of those "It's God's Will" things...

shit man, i love it when god pulls one of his random "i'm just fucking wit you people" moments. always a good time.

Shalome,

Have you ever seen me post anything you disagree with on matters of sexuality legislation or gender freedom? If we talked about tort reform, I think you'd find me exactly on the right page...if tort reform wasn't so incredibly dull as to induce narcolepsy in otherwise healthy people.

I suppose it's difficult to see past the posts surrounding mine that include such fits of screaming wrath to consider the possibility that I am a liberal. Regretably, in my dictionary, the word liberal is not spelled C-O-N-F-O-R-M-I-S-T.

The Human Rights Campaign that I referenced in the article is a gay and lesbian rights orginization, notice the 0% rating he recived, for a number of different votes. He's anti-gay, no question about it.

Have we ever seen you post anything on matters of sexuality legislation or gender freedom, period?

Cool, so you think tort reform is a sham perpetuated by corporate interests so they can get away with poisoning and injuring people and not worry about paying for their negligence? I'm pretty surprised, but good for you.

Patrick, the problem that people have with your posts isn't the position that they take, it's that they're pompous and snide, largely without factual support (or they ignore relevant factual information), and you often rely on logical fallacies to reach your conclusions. You could be to the left of Emma Goldman and that would still be true.

I already posted this in another thread OH WELL!





I offer to you a simple equation from the brilliant mind of Mr. Henry Rollins.


(W)(X) / (Y) = (Z)


W= 160 pounds (The average weight of a US Soilder)
X= 1003 US Troops
Y= 1 Ton (2,000 pounds)


With the average weight of a US soilder being 160 pounds, and 1003 US Troops Dead in Iraq, Knowing that war casualties tend not to be peaceful, and usually are the result of bombs and extreme gunfire, its easy to say that the majority of the U.S. Soliders die completly destroyed.

Since the war has begun,80.24 TONS OF US SOILDER BLOOD, GUTS, LEGS AND BRAINS HAVE BEEN SHIPPED BACK TO THE UNITED STATES


god bless america!

Sorry but where I come from denying people basic civil rights is seen as being rather in opposition to them.

Which is rather negated by his oath to uphold the constitution, including the establishment clause. Jews believe its anathema to eat shellfish. You don't see them legislating Red Lobster out of business.

Uhhhh, no.

So, its important to stay true to his faith by not letting other people who don't practice it do as they see fit, but not important to stay true to his faith by not having sleazy, anonymous sex with strange men?

No, it totally appropriate, insofar as his electability is crippled by policies and platforms that he promoted.

..screw it. I don't like arguing.

Looks like it's time for the Left to mobilize an army of lipsticked little boys and cut, lisping men with cucumbers stuffed down their slacks. Hell, done with proper, covert media support, the Christian church and the Republican party could be history by the time the election rolls around!

It's a good thing you have a copy of The One True, Official Dictionary Given to Us By God Himself, because I lost my copy.

Seriously, Merriam-Webster's is not the final word on the matter. I would venture to say most people can imagine two people of the same sex being married — few people object to gay marriage on the grounds that they don't know what the term means — so that tells me that in the common lexicon, it has a meaning not directly tied to sex.

Yes, and I won't let anybody borrow my copy. It's signed, too.
Seriously, I'm all for gay marriage.. it makes no difference to me.. but, marriage is a religious rite. Civil unions are another thing completely.

Well of course he did. In his time in Congress, Schrock has sought every possible opportunity to persecute gays and lesbians. For example, Congressman Schrock made a big deal about publicizing his opposition to Bill Clinton's Don't Ask Don't Tell policy, which attempted to prevent discrimination against gays and lesbians in the United States military. In his speeches against toleration of gays and lesbians in the military, Ed Schrock raised his voice to a shrill pitch in order to emphasize how icky he believed homosexuals to be. "You're in the showers with them!" he screeched. "You're in the bunk room with them, you're in staterooms with them!"

But that's ok...Schrock is in good company in the annals of conservative hypocrisy.

• Ronald Reagan tried to join the American Communist Party's leadership, but when he was rejected, started naming other Communists to Joseph McCarthy's House Unamerican Activities Committee.


• Newt Gingrich tried to have Bill Clinton thrown out of office for having extramarital sex, at the same time that Gingrich himself was having an affair.


• Strom Thurmond supported racial segregation laws forbidding people of different ethnic background from having sex, even though he had himself fathered a child with an underage African-American servant who was working in his parents' house.


• Rush Limbaugh spent years calling for strict sentences for drug abusers, but suddenly changed his tune and pleaded for leniency when he was caught illegally abusing drugs himself.


• Like Rush Limbaugh, George W. Bush pushed as Texas governor for harsh sentences for drug offenders, even though he has refused to deny using cocaine himself.

Now if you would like to provide some anti-gay hypocrisy of McGreevey's I will happily brand him with the scarlet H. Until that time he is simply a man who gave his boyfriend a job. Nothing more.

Well, you do have to admit that at least he was speaking with firsthand knowledge, which is probably more than most people in congress can say (as far as we know, anyway).

And truth be told, I wouldn't want to be in the shower with Ed Schrock, either.

Points well taken.

No, in some cultures and for some faiths, marriage is a religious rite. Religious marriages are not recognized a legally binding in about half of Europe. Half the world recognizes plural marriage. Our own federal government in fact recognizes plural marriage for foreign nationals conducted abroad. The notion of marriage advanced by the thumpers is, in fact exclusively Christian and only about 150 years old. Ancient Rome, whose rite ours is based in fact had half a dozen different forms of marriage. Hundreds of millions of people the world over still practice symbolic or literal bride capture as the binding family unit.

Marriage historically has little or nothing to do with love or God and everything to do with the transfer and retention of property and privilege.
