Man, I wish you'd give the poor Gay One and other drug abusers a break.
Sure
he did lots of illegal recreational drugs years ago as evidenced by his
posts to alt.drugs but that doesn't necessarily mean he still does illegal
recreational drugs. I think he's probably turned over a new leaf by now.

Everybody deserves a second chance, don't you think? Even if he did lie or
withhold information on his captain's license it doesn't matter. It seems
like almost all the politicians such as Clinton and Obama did illegal
recreational drugs in their younger days. So, what's the big deal? And
they
had to fill out applications to the Bar which also ask if they ever used
illegal recreational drugs and I'm sure they omitted information or lied,
too. What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

Besides, they are liberals and liberals live by different standards. They
never claimed to have any morals or ethics so they don't have to live a
moral or ethical life. It's only conservatives who have to do that because
they claim they are moral and ethical in the first place. The action
doesn't
matter. It's the hypocrisy that matters. Liberals can't be said to be
hypocritical because they never claimed to embrace ethics or morality.
Therefore, they can do no wrong. The Gay One never claimed to be moral or
ethical so his using and bragging about using illegal recreational drugs
cannot be held against him. It's not even illegal to a liberal because a
liberal never accepted it as being illegal. Liberals, after all, by virtue
of their philosophy cannot be held to any normal standards of behavior
since
they never claimed to adhere to any normal standards of behavior.

Liberals aren't murders when they abort a viable, unborn baby. They just
don't recognize the living and developing human being as being human. Case
closed. No human involved then there's no murder. Pretty simple. Again, no
moral standards and no ethical standards, no foul.

The same goes for liberal politicians such as William Jefferson, Democrat,
LA who has been indicted for taking large bribes and got caught on film
doing so and even stashed the bribe money in his freezer. The man never
claimed to be moral or ethical so he did no wrong. Let him be. Let him
continue to serve.

I think the Gay One is getting a bad rap around here. He has really done
no
wrong because he has never accepted his past actions as being wrong. He is
no different from any other liberal so leave him be. Make sense?

I think he sees them as wrong. He had the posts removed from Google but if
anyone is interested they are at no less than 3 university archives. The are
also in the FBI database.
