RENO: What did you say FReeper?!?!?
Posted on 09/27/2005 3:42:15 PM PDT by dukeman
Former U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno wowed the crowd at the Gay and Lesbian Medical Association's conference in Montreal on Sept. 24 with an impassioned speech on universal healthcare, wrapping up the GLMA's annual conference with an inspired bang.
Reno stressed the importance of gay healthcare professionals to come out and work as a community as the best means of standing up to an increasingly conservative, homophobic culture and government. “By utilizing the professional bonds and friendships built up through your work, I believe you can build a system of healthcare delivery that will make us all proud,” said Reno.
“People need to believe that they can make a difference,” added Reno. “By using your networks of family, friends and others who know people from the LGBT community that they adore, you can build that network and have an impact,” that can rise above politics, she said.
To patients facing discrimination from their healthcare provider, Reno said the path to empowerment is to speak out and take an active role in combating this unique brand of homophobia: “Patients need to educate their doctors if they sense discrimination. They must refuse to give up in the face of discrimination,” said Reno.
Dr. Stephen Goldstone, a GLMA board member and Medical Director of GayHealth.com, echoed Reno's approach to combating homophobia while lauding Reno's work in helping LGBT individuals from homophobic countries find asylum--and thus safety--in the U.S.: "While Attorney General, Janet Reno took the bold step of allowing persecution based on sexual orientation stand as a reason for obtaining asylum in the U.S. Countless LGBT individuals have been able to find safety within our borders thanks to this sweeping change. Her bravery was even more remarkable given that homosexuality was still a reason for exclusion from the U.S. just four short years earlier."
Reno also challenged GLMA members to work together to find ways to make universal healthcare a reality in the U.S.: “Let's make it a government that will work for us,” says Reno, “and pledge that we won't say we can't have universal health care just because we can't figure out the financial parts of it. I think it can be done.”
Reno also spoke to the need of addressing drug and alcohol abuse and the importance of investing in the well-being of our children, especially in their early formative (ages 1-3) years, which will reduce the strain on the U.S. healthcare system in the years to come.
“We also need to identify teenagers in trouble, especially gay teens, and get them the help they need,” to reduce high teen suicide statistics, says Reno.
Thankfully, no photos.
Androgyny bump
impressive..... once again we know who the real Clinton/Reno constituency is.......
Ha Ha Ha
FR must be slipping, a story of Janet Reno attending a gay conference and no pics of Will Farrell from SNL yet.
I hope you see their gassed, burned bodies every day!
Did she talk about how she's lobbying to be the first to have a penis implant?
I didn't realize bubba's AG was out of the closet.
RENO: What did you say FReeper?!?!?
"importance of investing in the well-being of our children"
As evidenced in her handling of Waco.
You're joking,of course......
I thought gays and lesbians were just normal human beings like the rest of us.
They need their own health-care providers? What's up with that?
Do we really want to know the real thing?
What kind of "help?" Nice to know they're out there preying on confused adolescents and recruiting more of their ilk.
Kissy, kissy
Love, Janet
She needs someone she can trust to perform her "addadictome" procedure.
In order for that to happen,she'd have to have a conscience.I challenge you to give me *one* piece of evidence suggesting that *anyone* connected to The Most Ethical Administration In History ever had one.
Limbaugh refers to that as an adadictome procedure.
Well, I'm certainly happy to know she was willing to offer asylum to some people during her reign of terror!
/sarc
I'm really burned at Janet Reno and her cover-up of the OKC bombing. I just finshed Jayna Davis' book "The Third Terrorist" and am convinced of the middle-east connection.
KORESH: "You're burned up? How do you think I feel about Reno?"
I haven't read Jaynas book but I was convinced of something a lot deeper after reading the Final Report.
...rimshot...
She'll be here all week folks. Try the fish tacos.
Delicate flower ping
Anywhere Ms. Reno arrives sober and vertical amazes all who witness the event.
She actually names an ex-Iraqi soldier, in the country seeking asylum as the 3rd terrorist.
Clinton's Know-Nothing Do-Nothing Administration wanted no part of a domestic muslim terrorist plot.
"She's a MAN, man!!"
I find it funny when an informed person, after years of reading and listening to a pro-gay agenda until one understands what gayness and lesbianism is about, then decides to reject their agenda and arguments, instead, accepting ones contrary to their beliefs, therefore, somehow, we become 'homophobic'.
I may be Naziphobic, Communistphobic or Terroristphobic, but I sure ain't homophobic.
Partly because there are those in Washington...on BOTH sides of the spectrum that KNOW the truth...but for various reasons...( They want to keep their jobs, etc..etc..and their heads...) don't say anything. And if were to come out..they would have to admit that our government lied to the American people..and then covered it up. And many of them don't think the American sheeple can "handle" that.
FWIW-
"I actually think it's deeper than just the Clinton years....."
Sadly I think you're right.
"Janet Reno wows..."
Wait till you see her latest SI swimsuit pictorial.
Ph***ing jackbooted thugs. Forewarned is forearmed. Get your concealed carry license, and lock and load.
Gun control: deep breath, sight alignment, squeeze the trigger ....
The bitch is HOT!
Ford Ranger front end damage bump..
Wow'd em eh?
Did The Sasquach leave the poison gas and tanks at home?
> Wow'd em eh?
More like bow-wow'd em, I'd say.
The charges against the people of Waco were all trunmped-up. They had to die to keep the truth from comming out.
I seriously doubt that this is a problem at all. She should cite one instance of discrimination as regards healthcare provision. This is just the same old Democrat promotion of victim mentality.
That part just creeps me out.
Reno also spoke ... the importance of investing in the well-being of our children, especially in their early formative (ages 1-3) years, which will reduce the strain on the U.S. healthcare system in the years to come.
Time to post an oldie but a goodie from my addled brain:
“Shake Janet Reno” (sung to the tune of “Shake, Rattle & Roll”)
REFRAIN:
Shake Janet Reno/ I said Shake Janet Reno
Shake Janet Reno/ I said Shake Janet Reno
The longer she stays/ The faster our freedoms go
VERSE 1:
Billy says Jump/ Janet says Yessiree!
“Snatch that kid/ And do it A.S.A.P.
Fire up the Osprey/ Fly’m to Fidel fer me”
Like a one-eyed cat/ Winkin’ at the Blue Dress goo
Hear No/ See No/ Speak No evil too
Gotta bad case/ Of the ‘I Don’t Remember’ Flu
(REFRAIN):
VERSE 2:
Poor Little ‘Nitta/ He treated her like a Ho
“Ice that lip/ Cause honey I gotta go” The harder she fought/ The benter his mini-pole
Kathleen Willey/ Visitin’ Clinton’s home
Pawin’ her over / Gropin’ until he blows
The same with Paula/ Willie just goes and goes
VERSE 3:
DOJ/ Lookin’ in to such and such
Billy Boy eff’s up/ Reno gotta sponge it up
“The buck stops here”/ (Shredded, diced, and cut!)
Like a wobbly top/ Reno gotta silly walk
Clams up bigtime/ Everytime she’s asked to talk
Ain’t life grand/ Bobbin’ on Willie’s c**k
(REFRAIN):
VERSE 4:
Shakin’ on account/ Of voices in her head
“Just to save ‘em/ Gonna hafta make ‘em dead”
Never gonna change/ Sleepin’ in Billy’s bed (eeeew!)
Standin’ with Janet/ Standin’ on shaky ground
From the Red planet/ Not just another town
Need no warrant/ To blow your houses down
REFRAIN AND FADE:
Shake Janet Reno/ I said Shake Janet Reno
Shake Janet Reno/ I said Shake Janet Reno
Can’t do a thing/ To save Bill Clinton’s soul
ha,ha,ha...I LIKE that. Should be ashamed for not thinking of it myself ... I was SOOOOOOOOOO close. :) Thanks, that was a great line.
Why does such an association even exist?
