Hyenas defile the physical body, while humans defile the names of the dead. The hyenas do not care who the person was that is now food for them, much the same as a fallen soldier is forgotten by the world he died for. {Ruyard Kipling’s poem "The Hyenas"}-Alana Gerhart

I remembered Kipling's Hyenas:
.." it is not discovered to living men—

Only to God and to those

Who, being soulless, are free from shame,

Whatever meat [the hyenas] may find.

Nor do they defile the dead man’s name—

That is reserved for his kind (1893-1894).

As soon as Jimmy Carter is dead, we can accuse him of being homophobic... We can do the same to Clinton...

No, why wait? *rolling my eyes*

By, "why wait" I meant that we don't have to wait for them to pass from natural causes before slapping them with unsupported, unsubstantiated allegations of homophobia.

We could probably accuse FDR, JFK, and other Democratic Presidents who are dead of homophobia and be right...

Gay or straight, does it even matter? Oh, yeah, it does to gays. Must generate heroes to have our young look up to so that it's even more acceptable to be gay.

Recruitment 101. That's what ticks me off about this.

150 years from now someone will pick up Kitty Kelly's book and use it to proclaim proof G.W. was gay.

Abraham Lincoln, imo, was our greatest President. I have no reason to believe he was gay, and every reason to suspect the agenda of the people trying to align themselves with our greatest public servant. His legacy outlived his critics, and it will outlive those today trying to elevate themselves on his shoulders.

We need to demand that telivision programing be encoded with an "H" rating for homosexual content.

This will allow homosexuals to produce whatever TV programs they want but parents and consumers can feel free to program their televisions to erase it from the surfing dial.

Thank goodness for the MRC. Without them, I might have to actually watch Couric and the rest of them.

Its about basing the conservative or individualistic icons. See such and such a leader was a loner because he was a homosexual, a diverse society requires all to live harmoneous within the village.

The pink swastika rides again...

Lincoln was GAY most of his life - he enjoyed and was PROUD to be GAY in America! To be GAY in the 19th century was to be happy and glad.

If Lincoln were alive today, he would be demanding HONOR from these piglets at 20 paces. Watch them run away squealing for their HOMOSEXUAL heroes/heroines -- or is it heroin clintons.

Homosexual Agenda Ping.

There have been many threads on FR, and quite a few recently, about this book and articles trying to make the claim that Abraham Lincoln was homosexual. Anyone wanting to read the details can do a search; the myth (or sick fantasy) has been completely taken apart elsewhere.

This article is noteworthy because of the Today Show support of the crap. Does anyone still watch it?

Let me and DirtyHarryY2K know if anyone wants on/off this list.

Media Schadenfreude and Media Shenanigans PING

-- 9:30am, entire Today crew on the couch: Curry: "Also ahead a controversial new book is out today that may be trying to re-write American history. In it sex researcher C.A. Tripp is, claims that President Clinton may have been gay."

Couric: "No, no, no, Lincoln."

THIS after Al Roker had already said "Not that there's anything wrong with that" (about homosexuality, stealing a line from Seinfeld.

Homosexuality - okay for Abe Lincoln, but not Bill Clinton ("no, no, no" sounds adamant in rejecting the notion).

Couric: "Hillary's on the phone for you."

Curry: "So sorry. Mr. Clinton I'm so sorry, purely mistaken, not being able to-"

What's she sorry for? Potentially degrading Sick Willy's image in the eyes of evil homophobic Republicans?

Being gay isn't much compared to almost everything Clinton really is.

WHen I used to read Weekly Word News, every few years they had the same story that Lincoln may have been a witch, according to an author.

The proof was he had warts and he died after wishing he could see Jeruslam, and witches aren't allowed in the Holy City so that was the whole reason for the assassniation.

Now, I suppose it will be that Boothe was a jilted lover, or somesuch.

Of course, a lot of pagans are gay and a lot of gays are pagen, so if Lincoln was a witch, that would be proof he was gay.
