"It
is in every family. It is in every community. The momentum is clearly now in
the direction in finding some way to ... accommodate and deal with reality. And
the reality is going to be that in a number of American states -- and it will
be more after 2014 -- gay relationships will be legal, period."
How nice that
Mister-Marry-A-Woman-Cheat-On-Her-She-Gets-Cancer-I-File-For-Dovorce-Marry-The-Mistress-
She-Gets-Cancer-I-File-For-Divorce-Marry-The-Mistress has decided that maybe
The Gays do deserve to treat marriage like the bottom of their shoes, too.
"I appreciate and admire
the day-to-day courage of the gay people I have encountered in the music world
and elsewhere. I have never been put in the position of having to "stand
up" for my heterosexuality. I am on the biggest possible team and it's
always the home game for me. The Westboro Baptist Church's god doesn't hate me
and I have lived life with an incredible amount of mobility and a low level of
fear and tribulation. On the other hand, gay in Wyoming? That's some Bruce Lee
Enter the Dragon highlight-reel action. I am not a religious person, but I
will say that music is at least a way to live my life, it instructs me to
adhere to a certain code of conduct. If I am digging music from all over the
world, performed by males and females, gay and straight, then I am screwed on
the prejudice front."
Understanding and equality set to music.
Thanks Henry.
Thanks Henry.
"I've
heard of people being killed playing ping-pong -- ping-pongs are more dangerous
than guns. Flat-screen TVs are injuring more kids today than anything."
More dangerous than ping-pong
balls and flat-screen TVS are politicians like Kyle Kacal, who is obviously in
the pocket of the NRA.
"People dispute the idea
that they have a nature, given to them by their bodily identity, that serves as
a defining element of the human being. They deny their nature and decide that
it is not something previously given to them, but that they make it for
themselves. The manipulation of nature, which we deplore today where our
environment is concerned, now becomes man's fundamental choice where he himself
is concerned. When freedom to be creative becomes the freedom to create
oneself, then necessarily the Maker himself is denied and ultimately man too is
stripped of his dignity as a creature of God"
Isn’t it interesting that, while speaking about God, he can
so easily tell a portion of the world that we are unworthy?
He’s not so F%$&ing Christ-like, is he?
"I
was glad that he made clear what’s been obvious, that he’s just a flat out
bigot. I’d previously said he was a homophobe. And Fox and the rightwing said,
‘Oh just because he’s not for same-sex marriage? And I said, ‘No, let me be
very clear. That’s not it. This is a man who has said you should go to prison
for having sex.’ It was an extraordinarily abusive sentiment and it was dead
wrong. And, by the way, for a guy who is supposed to be so smart -- quite
stupid. This young man said to him, ‘Why do you compare sodomy to murder?’ And
he said, ‘Well because I have a right to say if I think something is immoral.’
Well the question wasn’t about his right. The question was, By what morality is
expressing your love for someone in a physical way equivalent to killing that
person? It makes it clear that the man is an unreconstructed bigot, and given
that you have a bigot on the Supreme Court like that, it is useful to
know."
I am seriously gonna miss
Barney Frank, and hope the rumors that he’ll take John Kerry’s Senate seat when
Kerry becomes Secretary of State, are true.
We need Barney in government.
"The
Sandy Hook shooting occurred just days after Sen. Rand Paul sent out an alert
that the U.N. was set to pass the final version of the Small Arms Treaty,
supported by Obama the day after election. Part of the treaty bans the trade,
sale and ownership of all semi-automatic weapons like the one Adam Lanza used
to kill 20 children and 6 adults. When the 'fire' is started, these government
gun banners are right there to strip away your rights in an attempt to gain
control under the guise of 'putting out the fire.' Adolf Hitler was responsible
for attacking his own Reichstag to start a world war. Hitler was also
responsible for sending his brownshirts to incite the people so he could play
the role of solving their problems. No one believed Hitler was guilty of these
crimes until after the fact. Then it was too late."
So, because Obama wants to
halt the sale and ownership of ASSAULT weapons,
he’s Hitler?
Bradlee Dean, a man who never
met logic.
“He
wanted to be president less than anyone I’ve met in my life. He had no desire
to . . . run. If he could have found someone else to take his place . . . he
would have been ecstatic to step aside. He is a very private person who loves
his family deeply and wants to be with them, but he has deep faith in God and
he loves his country, but he doesn’t love the attention."
Oh, Tagg, sit down.
If your father didn’t want to
be president he wouldn’t have run.
If your father didn’t think
he should have been president he would have drafted a concession speech just in
case.
If your father didn’t want to
be president, we wouldn’t have heard a single story about how devastated he was
that he lost.
He lost. Tagg. Don’t rewrite history.
The majority of voters in this country did not want your father to be
president. Ever.
"My
family were amazing - once it was taken in, my dad, who is a very tough man,
sat me down at home with the family; he opened a bottle of champagne and said
'this is a toast to the rest of your life son.' It was overwhelming, and my
family as a whole have been superb."
I remember my dad, when I
came out, saying, “I love you very much.”
I wish all coming out stories
could have happy endings like mine and Gareth’s.
"Do we really want
to live in a world of police checkpoints, surveillance cameras, metal
detectors, X-ray scanners, and warrantless physical searches? We see this
culture in our airports: witness the shabby spectacle of once proud, happy
Americans shuffling through long lines while uniformed TSA agents bark orders.
This is the world of government provided “security,” a world far too many
Americans now seem to accept or even endorse. School shootings, no matter how
horrific, do not justify creating an Orwellian surveillance state in
America."
Funny, the Teabaggers want less government, but when you
talk guns, they demand more government action to protect their, ahem, rights to
bear arms.
