Media Firestorm = Tempest in Teapot
I’ve never thought of it exactly that way, but if Gov. Perry meant what the headline says, I say he’s spot on.
Homofascists can jump around and scream all they want, but Perry’s response was great.
Drugs are a more accurate comparison, but, alcohol is a drug, so okay.
Empty people seeking a thrill to make them feel less empty, ending up emptier still.
But no firestorm over calling Hillary Clinton a “great” secretary of state.
Well, probably the media agree. Still, it was a crazy comment.
Every time someone new does so it generates more and more controversy.
Whether or not it is a controversial comparison in reality is no longer the issue. It is, and has been, a controversy for some time.
The fact that Perry did not know this, and that none of his staff knew this, suggests that once again Perry is not ready for the national stage.
I guess I'm going to wish Perry well in hopes that he stays in long enough to siphon votes away from Bush and/or Christie and/or any other pro-amnesty candidate.
My fear is that he is too tone deaf for the national campaign and will implode before or just after New Hampshire.
God bless Governor Perry.
Amen.
But does the author realize the significance of what he just hinted at? That Zero backed regime change in Ukraine to ‘punish’ Russia for its anti-homosexual stance as a nation? That the lives being lost in Ukraine this hour are little more than collateral damage to Zero-led homosexual militants?
Whoa. !! and Whoa again !!
“Decades ago, Democrats and other liberals began with “audible mumblings” about views of homosexuality as abnormal or vice. Today, they are stridently combative against any one espousing conservative moral stances.”
:snip:
“In fact, Dr. Scott Lively...has commented that the Ukraine crisis...happened to provoke Russia... [for]... taking a stand against homosexual propaganda in its society.”
Stir it up Rick.
Perry continues to step on his tongue and talk his way out of higher office. No POTUS for you, Ricky.
it is a far better and accurate comparison than using a skin color analogy.
Where were the media when the Dem leadership called me a terrorist?
” The Chronicle then reported that Perry was asked by the event’s moderator if he considered homosexuality to be a disorder. Perry responded, “Whether or not you feel compelled to follow a particular lifestyle or not, you have the ability to decide not to do that. I may have the genetic coding that I’m inclined to be an alcoholic, but I have the desire not to do that, and I look at the homosexual issue the same way.””
Perfect response, as far as I’m concerned.
Go get ‘em Rick.
homosexuality is a mental disorder in the league with ‘porn addiction’
I don’t give a rats ass about those people.
the planet would be better off without them
Well, it’s a pretty simple proposition, libs: are homosexuals born that way or not? If they are, must they act on their genetic coding? Or are they born incapable of self control?
The SF Chronicle reported it? The homosexual paper? Wonder what really happened.
What word does the Torah use for homosexuality? Just wondering, because of the claim that there was no word for homosexuality back then.
I wonder what the life expectancy is for alcoholics vs. homosexuals.
