After having said that we should treat everybody equally, just don’t take the Bible out off context to suit your sexual behavior. If you believe that God created you the way you are and you excepted that in you heart, then so be it, and move on with your lives, and stop trying to recruit us to your way of thinking…I still think the most beautiful creature on this here earth…is a woman!

Ashpenaz, I’m sure God created us to be what we are, but He used evolution as a means to get there. All evidence suggests that. Or perhaps God is playing a twisted, elaborate hoax to make us think evolution occurred when it didn’t. I’m not betting on the latter.

As for Gates, count two lefties (my partner and I) who believe that Gates shouldn’t have acted like an arrogant blowhard prick and showed his frickin’ ID to the cop.

Can you imagine the MSM keeping silent if the Bush Justice Department had dropped a voter intimidation prosecution of the KKK? Yet, the Obama DoJ lets the Black Panthers off without even a slap on the wrist, and no one raises a peep about it.

Liberals have always been dissemblers, deceivers, deniers, and snake-oil salesmen, but with Obama it has become positively surreal. Obama can literally go on the record, with full audio and video, and say one thing, and then say the exact opposite within days, without a peep from the MSM (or his supporters). He doesn’t even have enough respect for Americans to make the effort to lie convincingly–he just says whatever his audience wants to hear at any given moment. The little-letter sock puppets routinely post comments here calling Bush and his inner circle liars, but when challenged, they can’t identify a single one. With Obama, the damning evidence of his inability to tell the truth is in Hi-Def, yet it makes no difference to the media or his supporters.

I don’t get it. Conservatives were/are constantly accused of blindly supporting every Bush policy, statement, and, gesture which is an absolute crock (conservatives were highly critical of his excessive spending and it was conservatives that defeated the shamnesty bill). But with Obama, it isn’t just broken or indefinitely-postponed campaign promises–it is huge, unequivocal lies and 180 degree reversals on matters of consequence documented in real time and objectively provable with evidence on video. At a minimum, it proves that for the Left, character is measured solely by one’s stand on “the issues.” I guess liberals consider the endeavor of enacting “universal healthcare” is so selfless, noble and altruistic, that it doesn’t matter what he has to do to accomplish it. His morality is measured by his objective and intentions–nothing else is relevant. And why wouldn’t Obama expect this treatment from other liberals having observed the way Williams Ayers flourished as a member of Chicago’s rich, liberal elite even with a terrorist background that he is PROUD OF.

This is why political satire is dead in film and television and why An American Carol flopped–it’s not funny because there is no difference between the slap-stick and reality. The level of shameless deception and corruption practiced by Obama and his cronies leaves no room for humorous embellishment or exaggeration. They have become the caricature.

Yup. Founder and leader of our conservative-tolerating, politically-moderate un-gay movement. (Not to me.)

P.S. for the GayPatriot regulars: Anyone besides me notice that Sullivan is a lower-caser? Could he be the ghost author of all our lower-casers? “Hey, I’m only asking questions.”

No, both men did not act badly. Only one acted badly–Gates.

When I turned 65, I joined in order to take advantage of their Medicare Supplement policy. Now I’m seriously considering canceling my membership, even if it means I have to start the search for another Medicare Supplement–or go without.

Their “non-profit” status gives them an undeserved respectablility, much like the respect PBS receives, giving their Leftist slant added weight. Ugh. People who aren’t tuned in, politically, don’t have a clue.

NDT, wrt your comment: It does seem that lefties in general will tell us to “listen” to someone’s “life experience” in a “process of dialog”, if doing so supports the leftie’s agenda… and will forget about it totally, if it doesn’t.

What makes this funny is that the same liberals pushing this meme are the ones who openly mock and namecall older people who are opposed to gay marriage as being bigoted and prejudiced and hope they die off — or, in other words, insisting that their life experiences and age are worthless and that they have no right to object.

At the same time, I believe critics should also look at Gates’ age, and look at the history of the relationship between the black community has with law enforcement in this country, and acknowledge that when creating a dialog.

In other words, we should excuse Gates’ being a total dick to the cop (IF that is indeed what the situation was; I haven’t heard the tape recording yet) who was there in response to a call and trying to protect Gates’ own property for him, because of Gates’ age group and alleged life experiences?

I think there is a little racism bred into all of our genes. Evolutionarily speaking, there was a survival advantage to being prejudiced toward members of one’s own tribe. The important thing is how we use the higher, rational mind to control whatever residual racism resides in us, consciously or subconsciously.

At the same time, I believe critics should also look at Gates’ age, and look at the history of the relationship between the black community has with law enforcement in this country, and acknowledge that when creating a dialog.

I think the Obama’s overall reaction/involvement is quite indicative of how many Americans feel about race. There’s the drive to show people that it shouldn’t matter, but there’re also challenges in the approach due to sensitivity on both sides. We can do it, though.
