WAIT!

The murderers where what?
THEY WERE?!?!

Oh, well, then, never mind what I was saying.

Just poking some fun at those who criticize Christians for being bigoted but ignore the crimes of Islamofascists.

There hasn’t been and there aren’t.

However, he wrote

“FYI – The modern Turkish state has always had a “hands-off” approach to religion, be it Greek Orthodox, Muslim, Jewish etc. However, there is a committed number of radical Islamists who wish to return Turkey to the dark ages of Islamofascism. Sadly, this may be the impetus they need to get it going.”

Well, not exactly. the OFFICIAL approach is hands-off. In reality, they bomb and set fire to the Orthodox Christian Patriarchate, killed the sexton and stuffed him in a well (among other murders through the years), disallow clerical garb (in fairness, the Moslem imams cannot theoretically wear clerical garb, either), disallow the use of historically Christian churches, and on and on. The Turkish word for the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople is “Rom(e)” and the enclosure is called the “Vatican”. Imagine the Pope being disallowed to go out of his palace in clerical garb.

When I visited Istanbul several years ago, I saw the city garbage trucks dumping refuse in Christian churchyards. Everything was fine until I used my credit card and they saw my Greek last name. Twice I was refused a hotel!!! Several people in my family fled Turkey because of the horrible treatment.

For the Turkish state to be considered admission to the EU without a total revamping of their official “history”, equality, judicial process and general civil rights is unthinkable, yet it will happen, and soon.

Recently I visited England. Straight, rough and tumble guys came forth to tell me that they didn’t understand the anti-gay hatred in America. How could I deal with it, they asked. They told me that homosexuality for women was always legal, but only legalized for men in the last few decades. They proclaimed it unfair as “sexism”. Two very straight, very macho men.

I pray that Matthew Sheppard never be forgotten.

Indeed, I also pray that Ahmet Yildiz’ death also never be forgotten.

We have barbarians in our own land who claim Christ as their Savior, yet continue unceasingly to undermine the hope of equality.

Now in Kevin’s defense, I think he posts to read his own text, regardless of reality.

This makes him (to the left) a Master debater. 143 more days of this and he gets a free presidential nomination.

Kudos to V da K!

Tragic deaths? Certainly. But blaming them on the Christian Right to further an agenda, or to claim equivalence between fundamentalist Mohammedism and fundamentalist Christianity … extremely dishonest.

Instead of admitting your error, you moved the goalposts and claimed that you meant that the Religious Right wanted to exterminate gay people. First, this was clearly not what you originally said. Second, you presented no evidence to back up that claim either.

If you refuse to debate with honesty, integrity, and intelligence, do not be surprised when people do not treat your insipid babbling as worthy of serious debate. You are not an honest debater, and you are not very bright. The only purpose of even engaging your idiotic talking points is to reveal how truly stupid and detached from reality are the things you believe, and all the left-libs who believe also.

But come on, now… Reagan didn’t “kill thousands”. People were killed by the disease – and some of these people knew that promiscuous, unprotected sex was a risk.

The IGF article points out that $500 million had been spent by 1985. Blaming Reagan for these deaths is like blaming him for traffic fatalities or deaths from heart attacks and cancer.

I don’t go to “Take Back The Night” rallies or candlelight vigils because they’re pointless.

There have been innumerable vigils to “do something” about inner-city crime, AIDS, war, disease, pestilence, and humidity. Nothing is accomplished.

Reducing violent crime would involve building more prison space and putting a lot of people away for a long time (in other words, a concrete message from society saying “no, we will not tolerate xxx”). These are things that liberals reliably oppose.

Kevin is correct that people have been killed for being gay. People have also been killed for being white, black, brown, male, female, rich, poor, young, old, Christian, Muslim, Jewish, atheist, cop – you name it. In other words, there are evil people in the world. But liberals are usually the first in line to make sure that wrongdoers aren’t punished (like being an illegal-alien gangbanger in San Francisco).

13: Yes, I did think up that one on my own and being that you don’t know me personally, then you’re making a bit of a bit of stretch to judge my intelligence – that of course coming from someone who regularly and enthusiastically resorts to name calling when he can’t make a reasonable, intelligent response.

Regan killed thousands by ignoring the AIDS Crisis even though Nancy begged him to say and do something.

You DO know that Mr. Barbara Streisand was never POTUS, right? Also, what color is the sky in your world? You seem to be suffering from something psychiatrists don’t have a name for yet.

It’s thank the Divine we live in a country where you’re not killed because of your choice of bedmate, I’m not killed because I’m a child of Abraham (albiet a distant one) and my mom’s not killed for being an uppity educated woman.

Then again, if we’ve a supreme court that relies on international law (Gingsburg) or international consensus (Souter) I won’t make any bets on it lasting.

And the really, really sad part is, I don’t think he thought that up on his own. I think someone just slightly less stupid posted it on some left-wing blog, and Kevin actually mistook it for something clever.

You almost gotta feel sorry for people sometimes.

You should see a psychiatrist for that persecution complex you have. I believe it is called paranoia.

The amusing part of rants like Pinky Bear’s is how, right about the time that “Regan” was supposedly killing all these gays, people like Randy Shilts who were calling for safe sex, responsibility, and the closure of San Francisco bathhouses were being called “gay Uncle Toms” and spat upon by the more “enlightened” gays like Pinky Bear.

In the cold gray light of reality, promiscuous unprotected sex and needle-sharing, as practiced by gays like Pinky Bear and his fellow leftists, is what killed thousands of people. What’s worse is that the denial of that by Pinky Bear and his fellow gay leftists that promiscuous sex spreads HIV is why, in contrast to all other high-risk groups, the rate of HIV infections is rising among gays.

In short, Pinky Bear blames “Regan” because Pinky Bear won’t take responsibility for the people his actions, his behaviors, and his support of gay promiscuity infected, sickened, and killed.
