Show poor Mary your “support” by sending it around!

Of course, Madonna and Cher (and ABBA, for that matter) knew they were just entertainers. As, for that matter, is Mary Cheney.

Also, just another data point from one guy’s experience… I once thought as you did, that “being gay is the core of who I am”… As I got older, life taught me I was mistaken. It’s a very important part of my capacity to love, yes; but life forced me to notice some even more fundamental stuff at my true core.

I miss y’all.

My point is simply that gay activists like to dish, but then whine and cry when they’re forced to take.

Of course, we know that the gay leftists and HRC have always referred to Senator Inhofe in deferential, respectful tones, never once making insults or insinuations about him, his family, or anything else. Nor have they ever sponsored rallies, protests, or namecalling activities against him referring to his personal and family life in less than pleasant terms.

-

In other words, Inhofe shouldn’t be held to any standard for his comments other than gay activists weren’t polite enough? Using that logic, NDT, shouldn’t you accept all the anti-GOP, anti-conservative remarks made by gays, since many conservatives have made the same or worse remarks about gays?

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Log Cabin Republicans Dallas Thanks the Senators Who Voted for the
Defeat of the Federal Marriage Amendment

Today the Senate gave a resounding defeat to the voices of intolerance
who are trying to use the Constitution as a political tool.

“Log Cabin Dallas praises the Republican Senators who recognize that
this anti-family, divisive amendment should not happen. Republicans who
are true to the core conservative value of federalism have put their
opposition on record.” said Carla Halbrook, Dallas and national board
member.

Senators who opposed the procedural motion today include John McCain,
Arlen Spector, John Sununu, Olympia Snowe, Lincoln Chafee, Judd Gregg
and Susan Collins.

“While we would have liked to see our Texas senators on this list, and
agree with them on fiscal and immigration reform issues, we will
continue our efforts to educate them on the importance of valuing all
American families,” Halbrook stated.

Still, even today, I think about that night a lot. When I hear men like Sam Brownback and George Allen on TV saying what a threat gay marriage is, I think to myself how that must make some child struggling with his or her sexuality feel. Are there words going to push some child to try what I did? Will that child succeed where I did not?

It’s true, there are a lot of other issues in politics. But no one issue ever made me want to take my own life besides this one. It is the core of who I am. That is the basis for why I could never vote for an anti-gay candidate.

So GP, if that make me stupid, then i’d rather be stupid.

The only way in which that is possible is if the Constitution can never be amended.

Furthermore, the power of the judiciary is clearly limited by the Constitution; judges may not rule in a manner that is contrary to fundamental law.

Do you deny that the voters have the right to amend the Constitution?

Do you deny that the Constitution makes the judiciary subject to the will of voters?

If Bruce truthfully is as bad as you claim: why come here?

Who’s more pathetic – the buffoon, or the “intelligent person” (so-called) who, while spitting on him, clings to him?

Re-read the posts / comments in order… Try to figure out:

(a) whether Brendan has said anything responsive to Bruce’s points in #0;

(b) whether Brendan was right to assume Bruce supports President Bush on the MPA;

(c) who is blustering or bullying whom. Let’s check.
- In #17, Brendan makes a mistake (in his assumptions).
- Bruce, correcting that, rubs it in slightly by calling the mistaken comments “laughable” and “embarassing”.
- Brendan’s comeback: attacking Bruce’s person as a “buffoon”, “nasty”, “mindless”, “attacking”, “inane”, etc.

Hmmm.

And Brendan, FYI: Democrats put up individual rights to majoritarian votes constantly. Check your paycheck and look at the taxes there (violation of individual’s right to spend her own money). Also check your local smoking ordinances, vehicle codes, medical regulations, education codes, public speech codes, planning commissions and property restrictions, Orwellian “hate crimes” laws… on and on and on and on.

I don’t know if you’re a Democrat, but here’s a tip if you are: don’t be giving any speeches about preserving individual rights against majoritarian votes.

#5 – John – What’s silly is the idea in 2004 (or today) of putting John Kerry in charge of the war with the terrorists, including Iraq.

The link did not work for me either.

here’s a link to the interview – transcript

(I hope that works.) And yes, it is a terrific interview.

GayPatriot;

Thanks for this post – well done!

You really are a buffoon. You so obviously do not have the intellectual ability to have a serious discussion that you have no other possible way of responding to any critic other than nasty and mindless attacking and then sending in your puppies to call people “fucktards”, “libtards” or moonbats. Perhaps you have a history of being a bully where calling people stupid and illiterate has made me you feel smart and better than your opponent. Quite frankly from reading your posts and, even more so, your inane and often nasty responses to people, I can assure you nothing you have ever written is in the least intellectually intimidating. I suspect you know that and that your explains your blustering manner.

*clapping*

Thank you for actually reading and comprehending this post!!!

I bet you scored better on the comprehension part of the SAT than all of the knee-jerk moonbats here!!!

Ughhhhhh!

Of course we are upset. Why the hell do you think I oppose MPA? Not just on “gay rights” issue (debatable merit there), but more on the Federal government mandating state behavior — a key REPUBLICAN principle. It would have been nice if Log Cabin had made Federalism one of their core arguments against MPA instead of the nastgram talking points of the Bash Bush Gay Left. But that would mean Log Cabin was actually still a REPUBLICAN organization!!

I hate to repeat myself, but do you lefties actually read our postings…or just the headlines????

Your comments are so ignorant of the positions of the bloggers here that it is quite embarassing and laughable!

To be honest you don’t seem to have any understanding of the role courts are meant to perform under a constitutional system. Regardlesss of one’s political beliefs, there should be a shared belief that all issues regarding individual rights can’t be decided by majoritarian votes. I really don’t think what I am saying is a controversial statement and it is not meant as an attack on gay republicans.

What I really don’t understand is why conservatives (gay or straight) are not extremely angry with Bush’s completely gratutious attack on the Massachusetts’ court decision on gay marriage. Here was have a state court interpreting a state constitution and deciding the rights of Massachusett state residents. I am sorry but to have the federal goverment to come in and try to overturn this decision is a far cry from traditional conservative thinking.
