I love Joe. I bet most of America Agrees with him but they won't poll that.

Like that scent I couldn't get out of the cranberry futon in college no matter how much I shellacked it with Febreeze, Joe the Plumber keeps offending my senses when I least expect it.
This time it's the gays. In a pander-y interview with Christianity Today (a known bastion of progressive thinking) Joe takes bigotry to heights Fred Phelps could appreciate. The horror: "People don't understand the dictionary--it's called queer. Queer means strange and unusual."
Somehow, Joe, I don't think Noah Webster had gays in mind as he pieced together his great lexicographical work. No, the term was corrupted by ignoramuses like you. Novel logic, though.
"I've had some friends that are actually homosexual. And, I mean, they know where I stand, and they know that I wouldn't have them anywhere near my children."
Joe's definition of friendship with gays: Having briefly spoken to or shared the same air with a gay person momentarily. Gee, they must be flocking have beers with "The Plumber." 'Hey, I'm having a barbecue this weekend, but you can't come. You're gay and my children will be there. Sorry.'
Oh, and he's not sure if he'll run for public office. God hasn't told him to...yet. For the rest of JTP's uninformed inanity, follow the link.
AMEN! Joe is a National Treasure, an American Patriot!
The author is a fool, he contradicts his own words. Noah Webster didn’t have homosexuals in mind when he defined gay, the term was corrupted by ignoramuses like the author.
Yep that is why I thought he would be a perfect post. People need to be reminded of who they fight.
I wouldn't be so sure about that. I remember when the ACT-Up guys were selling "Queer Scout cookies" to raise money for AIDS sufferers.
Straights didn't name those cookies. Gays did.
Yes especially when you disagree with someone who prefers assholes. Such an intellectual and enlightened thing such a preference is...;-) Just take it from the media they never lie. lol
The guy (Joe) asked a question.
And that's your job, right? Must keep you pretty busy.
Actually, any lexicographer could tell you that that's more or less what "gay" has come to mean, at least among the younger generation. Once upon a time, the word "gay" meant happy and joyful. But now, my college-age nephew uses the adjective "gay" in the sense of inappropriate, unjust, unfair, or just cockamie wrong. LOL.
Like it or not, the dictionary is an evolving product of free choice. Just like the market. The libtards can whine all they want about the result. But try to beat the market, and the market whips your ass!
Zealots, of any persuasion, dream of having the backing of Government “Thought Police”.
“:Once upon a time, the word “gay” meant happy and joyful. But now, my college-age nephew uses the adjective “gay” in the sense of inappropriate, unjust, unfair, or just cockamie wrong.””
Your right about this... Of course.
One out of two will do though...QUEERS!
Joe is right. Males inserting their copulatory organs into various orifaces of other males is certainly “QUEER”!!!!
1. Merry; airy; jovial; sportive; frolicksome. It denotes more life and animation than cheerful.
Belinda smiled, and all the world was gay.
2. Fine; showy; as a gay dress.
3. Inflamed or merry with liquor; intoxicated; a vulgar use of the word in America.
GAY, n. An ornament. [Not used.]
Marriage is honorable in all and the bed undefiled. Heb.13.
1. A feast made on the occasion of a marriage.
The kingdom of heaven is like a certain king, who made a marriage for his son. Matt.22.
2. In a scriptural sense, the union between Christ and his church by the covenant of grace. Rev.19.
This blogger is a very stupid person.
Poor Joe. It appears he’s not nuanced enough to impress our the enlightened columnist.
You're kidding.
That is so teh ghey.
