And he’s pretty closet-y, anyway. I am the “out and (occasionally) proud” one, in our group. Ironic, isn’t it? I, the ex-Democrat conservative-leaning Independent have no trouble with people knowing I’m gay – and I even take low-key opportunities to clue people in. While he, the loudmouth flaming liberal, is closeted at work. When I happened to mention to him something that revealed I was gay, he became so nervous that couldn’t park his car, and damaged it (a scrape) while trying.

This whole thing smacks of selfishness with the volunteer activity thrown in to asuage the guilt. That is, assuming any gay liberals have the capacity for feeling guilty. This has all the honesty of an Illinois governor. It will accomplish about as much.

If a tree falls in the woods and no one hears it, does it make a sound?

And if we find out about it later, can we put it to good use by burning it?

I mean, what’s wrong with you man? Do you want Karl Rove’s children to have to perform manual labor? Not that they ever would, but surely you wouldn’t want that, would you? You bigoted nativist restrictionist poopy-pants you!

Not just Gay rights…Lefty Feminists do the same thing. Outrage and fury when they see some perceived oppression in the US, the country they live in and are citizens of, but when it comes to other nations….nothing.
Iran, Cuba, Syria, Saudi Arabia, can name dozens…when THEY oppress women, gays, and I’ll even bring the Lefty ‘racial activists’ into it, ethnic minorities..The Left(not all the Left, calm down Libs) do not protest..cultural differences or some other sort of nonsense that some how makes it Ok for those other folks to do it is their usual line.
However they never let us forget that the US is supremely Evil for not letting Gays marry.

After all, we already don’t allow those queer bastards, stupid women and f-ing blacks to vote or drive cars…ohh..wait…;)

I don’t see why so many conservative gays are opposed to Day w/o Gays.

It ought to be real popular with the straights who ought to be called in on their day off or on other shifts to pick up the slack. For mine own part, I was off today anyway. There was too much “volunteering” to do around the house such as three trips each to Walmart and Home Depot.

To me, strikes are based on selfishness and have little (if any) to do with “fairness”. They seem to piss off more people than those who might have sympathy for the striker’s “plight”. Remember the NY cabbie strike just before Christmas a few years ago? That went over like a fart in church. One of the reasons I got out of EMS was because the local service went union and I wanted no part of a group that would put their own selfishness over the people they’re paid to help.

#18: now that you mention it, I’ve not heard Rush mention a word lately about the numerous citizen victims of illegals who commit violent crimes.

Just wondering: there are more than 300,000,000 people in this country. How many more are needed? 500,000,000? A billion?

The black thugs from Brooklyn just put it into action the verbal terrorism and charms of the Nativist right. It’s a shame the Land of Opportunity Reagan and Kemp spoke so eloquently about has become the Land of Oppression.

I can almost hear Pres Reagan say, “Mr. Obama, Tear Down That Wall!”

Such a beautifully nutty comment. Mmmm, what a taste. Note how:

- Black thugs in Brooklyn are now right-wingers. (Huh?)
- Right-wingers, i.e., *conservatives*, are now “Nativists”, i.e., racists. (Thank you, Ian!)
- A real wall designed by brutal Communists to keep their own people in, is now morally equivalent to a non-existent (or only wished-for) wall desired by a free and democratic people to give them some minor degree of protection from the possibility of terrorists infiltrating along with all the legal and legitimate immigrants, who are generally very much welcomed.
- Two Ecuadoran brothers are assumed to be ‘victims’ of that wall, when the very fact that they are here – legally or otherwise, rusty’s article does not say – proves the wall’s non-existence.
- One of the brothers, who has multiple wives and children *in different countries* (per rusty’s articles), is implied to be an immigrant worth having.
- America is now allegedly “the Land of Oppression”. (With capitals, even.)

MM: I’ve seen more than a few nutcase comments from you… that one is surely in your top 5. Good job and please give us more.

Because the morons doing this make all of us look like a bunch of three year olds throwing a temper tantrum because Mommy said no. If we expect to be treated like respectable contributing members of society, than we damn well better act like them – and that means doing our jobs, not calling off in a huff.

It’s just another example of pushing “look at me I’m ghhhhhhhhhhhhey!” when we should be pushing “Yeah, I’m gay – who cares?”

I wonder if anyone’s pulling this crap on the gayest place on Earth: Broadway. If I had expensive tickets to a show and this happened I would become homophobic in an instant.
