Firstly, I disagree with you labeling them "conservative." They
don't really appear to be that. I think radical right (radical for
this country anyway) would be more appropriate. I'm a fiscal
conservative for sure. I'm a liberal when it comes to social issues.

Secondly, I'm shocked by the seeming lack of knowledge about current
events also. I think that's not really the case. I think it's more
of ignoring facts when they're inconvenient.

I'm happy to reevaluate the performance of Obama and/or the Dem.
"leadership" in Congress as necessary. The latter are truly dropping
the ball right now, and I strongly believe that Obama got involved
too late in the process. I don't see those on the radical right
honestly evaluating those politicians (and other, e.g., Beck, Rush,
Wilson, Palin, Cheney) on the right who are leadership roles (in
name or in fact).
It's good to see you have found your 'niche' here, right between
Harry
and w3fh, with Donnie as a chaser.

If you find things too shocking, there really are a lot of political
groups where your expertise would be immensely appreciated.
She is a fiscal conservative, in her words, meaning she wants to make
and keep her own money. On social issues, she doesn't mind throwing
YOUR money around. It's so easy to be a liberal socialist, don't you
think?

I'm pretty sure that I've donated a lot more of my hard-earned money to
charity that you. I'm certain that I've donated more of my precious
time. I'm also betting that you don't do much of either. Feel free to
tell me otherwise, of course.

Based on the information you have provided I can easily say you are
wrong. Move over Donny we have another dip**** on board.



Really? What information? Please be specific. I'd like to know how you
know how much I make, paid in taxes, or donated, plus the number of hours
of time I've committed over the last, say 10 years. Or, feel free to
highlight your charity.


Thank you. You seemed pretty sure at the time. (40/love)



I don't understand your response.

When it comes to charity, Harry will tell you that he is proud that his
father in law is a philanthropist. I guess that makes Harry generous by
association.

So, you don't do much of it? Is that your final answer?

"If a conservative is a homosexual, they quietly enjoy their life. If
a liberal is a homosexual, they loudly demand legislated respect."

Uh, NO, not quite. If a conservative is homosexual, he won't
necessarily IDENTIFY as such, he may get married and father children
to help advance his own political career, and he'll spout hypocritical
anti-Gay positions ... but still enjoy engaging in furtive, anonymous
sexual encounters with other men, usually at motels, roadside rest
areas, and airport bathrooms.

Whereas if a liberal is homosexual, he will more like live his life
openly, honestly, and with political integrity, and advocate equal
treatment for all law-abiding, taxpaying citizens regardless of sexual
orientation.

As for what you call "legislated respect," you and I both know there
really is no such thing. No amount of legislation could coerce you
into respecting anyone. Do you know anyone who is Gay? Do you know any
longterm Gay couples? And if so, is it possible for you to respect the
commitment they have made to each other?

Perhaps not. Perhaps no Gay person would get your respect. But the
fact remains that there is simply no Constitutional justification for
denying law-abiding Gay individuals and couples the very same legal
benefits and responsibilities that Straight individuals and couples
have always taken for granted.

Let's go back to your original statement, and simply change
"homosexual" to "black." Perhaps you would say, "If a liberal is
black, he will loudly demand his civil rights. If a conservative is
black, he will be content to sit in the back of the bus."

necessarily IDENTIFY as such, he may get married and father children
to help advance his own political career, and he'll spout hypocritical
anti-Gay positions ... but still enjoy engaging in furtive, anonymous
sexual encounters with other men, usually at motels, roadside rest
areas, and airport bathrooms.

Whereas if a liberal is homosexual, he will more like live his life
openly, honestly, and with political integrity, and advocate equal
treatment for all law-abiding, taxpaying citizens regardless of sexual
orientation.

As for what you call "legislated respect," you and I both know there
really is no such thing. No amount of legislation could coerce you
into respecting anyone. Do you know anyone who is Gay? Do you know any
longterm Gay couples? And if so, is it possible for you to respect the
commitment they have made to each other?

Perhaps not. Perhaps no Gay person would get your respect. But the
fact remains that there is simply no Constitutional justification for
denying law-abiding Gay individuals and couples the very same legal
benefits and responsibilities that Straight individuals and couples
have always taken for granted.

Let's go back to your original statement, and simply change
"homosexual" to "black." Perhaps you would say, "If a liberal is
black, he will loudly demand his civil rights. If a conservative is
black, he will be content to sit in the back of the bus."


Homosexual couples should have all the rights as heterosexual couples.
Just don't call it marriage. Why do you capitalize 'gay'. Is it now a
proper noun? Is it more a proper noun than heterosexual?

All decisions, even those of liberals, are the result of binary thinking.
