How old is your kid?

[sinkspur]

I have two: 23 and 26.

As it is, she is dead to her family, having disgraced and dishonored everything they stood for with her selfish, hedonistic, rebellion.

It's not like she volunteered to defend her country and laid down her life for her family, friends, neighbors, and fellow citizens like so many other heros (and heroines) near her age. She doesn't have that character. She should have stayed out of the country and moved to Iran where her coming out would demonstrate courage.

Gay or straight, I could never turn my back on or stop loving my own child. Never. Ever.

Now you understand the family of Michael Jackson (except for his one normal sibling that is).

Keyes is clearly a hypocrite since he commented on Cheney's daughter without acknowledging his own daughter was the same.

You don't know that. She claims he's known since finding a gay-friendly publication in her room in high school, but I can easily see that as an unjustified inference on her part. Particularly since she also states in the WP article everything was peaceful as long as she kept her opinions to herself. I can easily see her shutting down on the politics part before she ever got to the "I'm a queer" part.

Also by her own admission when he actually confronted her, he used the exact same phrase he claimed he would use when speaking about Mary Chenney.

I see a much better case for paternal denial than for hypocrisy.

She's an American citizen. Why should she "stay out of the country"?

You apparently have forgotten why you were in the service: to protect American citizens, even those with whom you disagree.

So she can liberate the women of Iran

I, and millions like me, no longer believe that stupid liberal lie "I may disagree with what you say but will defend your right to say it to the death."

I want homosexual addicts to leave this country and never return. They are a cancer within.

LOL!!! You're melting down, vet.

"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." - attributed to Voltaire (1694-1778). ;-)

The simple fact is most people live quiet boring lives that don't include bustiers, handcuffs, and chaps.

The corollary being, threads that mention sex tend to be lengthy.

I can see why you refer to Iran at lot inappropriately. That sounds like something an anti democratic and anti free speech and anti robust dialogue in the public square Mullah would say.

I can see why you call yourself "Torie."

Tories were our original traitors.

Yep, the ultimate liberal liar. I remember the story of his ignoble death.

[af_vet_1981]

Do you even understand what that verse means ?

[Scenic Sounds]

Ah, it seems like only yesterday. ;-)

[Amelia]

Yes, would you like me to explain it to you?

[Torie]

I'm a "traitor" because I respect the First Amendment eh? Ya, I know, you are just posting this over-the-top stuff to gain attention. I must say that it is succeeding.
