Barf!
After spending a great work/leisure weekend in Wilmington, NC….. where PatriotPooch visited the beach for the first time….. I had nearly forgotten the Log Cabin Democrat mutual masturbation convention this weekend.
Here’s reason enough for me not to have wasted my time
Blogger/commentator Andrew Sullivan received the “David Brudnoy Award” for “The Courage of a Conservative” from the Log Cabin Republicans Saturday.
I honestly thought that BFT’s headline read “SILLY Speaks to Log Cabin.” Heh heh.

The David Brudnoy award? Oh, my god.
Brudnoy claimed to be a libertarian–although that is highly debatable. What in heck is a supposedly Republican group doing giving an award named after a self-described libertarian?

Last night (the 29th) the HRC had its annual Black Tie Gala here in Houston. The theme was “the Roaring 20s.” I wonder if these moonbats realized that conservatism was alive and well during that era, which contributed to America’s growth and dynamism.
Also, wasn’t that the era of the Sacco-Vanzetti trial and execution, where Italian ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS were shown no mercy?
If this was to be a true HRC salute to America’s past, why didn’t they do a tribute to the 1930s, with soup lines, Apple Annies and FDR-style socialism? It would have been more in their taste.
But alas, not only were these gay moonbats stuck in the past, but they had heavy hitters like Neiman-Marcus underwriting their very gay affair. Typical.

I’ve read more than a bit of the Sacco & Vanzetti trial, and have never seen anyone contend that the were ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. You might check out, for example, http://www.crimelibrary.com/notorious_murders/not_guilty/sacco/1.html They were anarchists from Italy, and they were caught up in the Red scare (and probably anti-Catholic) trends of the time, but it is far from clear that they were ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. Do you have any support for your assertion that they were ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS?

#2 – Raj, from what I recall in my history class, there was no proof that Sacco and Vanzetti were U.S. citizens. Do you have any support for your assertion that they were not?

Do by all means check out the linked report on Sullivan’s acceptance speech above. And be sure to read the comments, where Gay Patriot West, in two comments a couple a minutes apart does his usual Sully bashing. It seems GPW thinks the blog here maintains a more “civil” tone than Sullivan’s.

Bruce, what is your problem? Your hang-ups about the Log Cabin Republicans have become petty. P – E – T – T – Y!!!!!

Who’s touching what when typing about LCR? Fetish, phobia, obsession? I’m with #6.
Where’s the guy that writes the good stuff?

This is difficult to parse with what appears to be a double negative. I don’t know whether or not they were citizens, but one does not need to be a citizen to lawfully reside in the US and even work here for extended periods of time.
An example is my mother in law. She was an immigrant from Germany, and a German citizen when she immigrated. She lawfully resided in the US and worked here for 30 years before she returned to Germany. During that entire time, she retained her German citizenship. Since Germany didn’t–and still doesn’t–allow for dual citizenship, if she took American citizenship, she would have had to give up her German citizenship. I don’t know the details of what she had to do in order for her to retain her status as a lawful US resident.

Yo, Brucey baby, do you have a spellcheck handy on your computer? The word is “masturbation”, not “masterbation”.

Back on topic for a second…. Bruce, did you see that weasel Mike Rogers of BlogActive –after a lot of pre-convention chest thumping in front of his fellow GayLeft queers still living on the Democrat Plantation — did NOT make it to the LCR Convention?
For weeks, Mikey-the-Mouth had been bragging about how he was going to get press credentials, cover the event, raise some fur, make a point about NaziGay traitors who want to send “our boys” to concentration camps run by the Religious Right… the usual BlogActive BS.
The overweight little pussy of mouth didn’t even go.
What an utter blowhard.

Bruce’s criticisms of Log Cabin are far from petty. Log Cabin has honored an outspoken (and close to unhinged) critic of the president attheir convention — as well as inviting the leader of what was once one of the best organizations in our community but which has recently become increasingly left-wing. If LC(R) were a serious Republican group, it would be criticizing PFAG not inviting its head to their convention.
I sometimes wonder if I was wrong to dismiss a reader’s claim that Log Cabin is telling people our criticism is petty and thus should be dismissed — and so encouraging them to either ignore the blog or to comment her as Trace has done.

I have worked with LCR NC and we, too, have the Great Debate over whether the group should be primarily gay or primarily Republican rages on. Unfortunately, we can barely form a minyan, let alone a consensus. The state GOP itself hasn’t much cohesion.
Politics is a game of “you scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours.” But no one wants to be the first to scratch.

GayPatriotWest, I commented entirely on my own; no influence whatsoever by LCR.
I am disappointed that LCR is as supportive of President Bush as it is. A lot of strong, longtime Republicans are getting fed up with the president.

Log Cabin, supportive of the president? That’s a laugh.
If Log Cabin were to support the president any less, they would be attacking him.
Yep, many Republicans are upset with the president, particularly on immigration (and spending), but it’s not the job of a GOP organization to attack the president of its own party. To be sure, they’re should make clear their disagreements, always recognizing that you criticize your friends differently than you criticize your enemies.
And while I still don’t think I was wrong to dismiss that reader’s claim, a good number of our critics, including you, are wrong to so casually dismiss Bruce’s criticisms of LC(R) — and my own.
It’s not merely their failure to support the president; it’s their eagerness to embrace the gay left, no matter how hateful the rhetoric (of those gay organzations that Log Cabin is ever so careful not to offend).
