Paladino calls gays 'dysfunctional'
Associated Press ^ | REUVEN FENTON and JEREMY OLSHAN

Posted on 10/10/2010 4:35:29 PM PDT by Free ThinkerNY

Carl Paladino says it’s not okay to be gay.

"There is nothing to be proud of in being a dysfunctional homosexual," the Republican gubernatorial candidate told a small Hasidic group at K’hal Adas Kasho synagogue in Williamsburg today.

"That's not how god created us, and that's not the example that we should be showing our children."

Paladino, who has made his opposition to the gay marriage and "the homosexual agenda" clear, went much further yesterday, to say children "would be much better off and much more successful getting married and raising a family" than being gay."

"And I don't want them to be brainwashed into thinking that homosexuality is an equally valid and successful option," he said. "It isn't."

The speech came just days after the suicide of a gay Rutgers student and an anti-gay gang attack in the Bronx.

His Democratic opponent, Andrew Cuomo, blasted the remarks as "stunning homophobia and a glaring disregard for basic equality."

A campaign spokesman said "These comments along with other views he has espoused make it clear that he is way out of the mainstream a

I'm not sure what convoluted message you're trying to convey, but polygyny (or polygamy) is against the law in all 50 states. There is no federal law against it, but it is not permitted in the U.S.

Apparently you didn't read my entire message. Governments have every right under G-d to forbid polygyny (provided they don't attribute the prohibition to G-d Himself), and so long as that is the law we are all bound to obey it.

I merely said that Divine law permits a man to have more than one wife. That's all.

I’m not sure which position you think is vindicated. Can you be specific?

G-d specifically forbade Jews to eat certain meats. Chr*stianity says this law has expired (you know, like the law against homosexuality has "expired").

I think that pretty much says it all.

Don’t think so. homosexuality is still a sin according to both Old and New Testaments.

According to 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 (King James Version),

“9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of G-d? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind.

10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of G-d.

11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our G-d.

Have a blessed day!

My point is that chr*stianity started the process of discarding commandments that are not easily explicably rationally--a process that liberalism continues. The fact that chr*stianity didn't immediately go "all the way" is irrelevant.

The majority of folks agree with his view it is the media who are out of the mainstream as they live in their elitist bubble surrounded by like minded folks.

To: doesnt suffer fools gladly

homosexuals who have got their life turned round have said that homosexuality is dysfunctional too.

There is nothing normal about a man poking another man.

Nature intended for a male and a female to reproduce.
The left or those on the far left, commies, socialists are now trying to say that their way of getting off sexually is normal.

The commie manifesto even says that in order to destroy America and the west they have to go after traditional normal families and to promote homosexuality.

On the contrary, every flank of the enemy has to be engaged. Plus, so many Americans are completely sick of and outraged about the homo-nazi agenda being shoved at them from every direction that I think it’s likely that any candidate who speaks the truth like Paladino will garner more votes, not fewer.

It takes courage to speak the truth when the MSM (Main Stream Media, Men who have Sex with Men, but I repeat myself) and leftists and mealymouth wishywashy Milquetoste Rebublicans either lie or are terrified eunuch bunnies.

homosexuals are not born as homosexuals, they do it and choose it to get off sexually.

There is nothing natural or normal about a man poking another man up the ass or a woman wearing a strap on pretending to have a penis while having sex with another woman.

There is no homosexual gene either so lets cut the crap and pro homosexual B/S from the homosexuals.

Yaelle consistently promotes the lying homosexual agenda talking points that homosexuals are born that way and cannot change.


explains why they keep saying they are born that way and then saying imagine if we treated kids the same way as homosexuals.

if I saw my boys dressing up in girls clothes I’d tell them that they’re boys and they do not do that.
Same for my girl.

Any parent saying it is OK for a boy to dress as a girl needs a good talking to.

As a father it is my job to raise my boys to be good men , not some fairy or confused girlie boy.

It is a job as a parent to bring your kids into this world to be good standing adults, future fathers or mothers.
Not some confused mentally depressed person thinking having sex with the same sex is naturally

You are WRONG. These kids do not choose. This is how they are born. You are condemning the innocent.

No child is ever born genetically mandated to take a penis in their anus. To say such a thing is a LIE. And you are hurting those people who are tempted toward such behavior by telling them that they have no choice.

Have you spent any time with little girls who want to dress in boy’s clothing, have a rough little rounded voice like a boy, and hate all dolls and fairies and whatnot, but love sports? Have you spent any time with little boys who love to play with dolls and stuffed animals, color their fingernails with markers, and who love pink and glitter? Their conservative parents did not make them this way.

So what you're doing is condemning these innocents to express these preferences in their sexuality. This is a lot of cr@p.

I met a male friend of a friend who was effeminate. I could have sworn he was a homosexual. Later, without any questions from me, my friend told me that he's heterosexual. I was really surprised.

My friend said that despite his outward manner, the guy was always hetero and never had any doubts about it. He got married and lives a normal hetero life.

What you are doing is latching on to stereotypes, and trying to fit a size 10 foot into a size 5 Cinderella slipper.

Heterosexuals come in different personalities - CELEBRATE THE DIVERSITY! Quit being a STERIOTYPER and let these kids be and let their sexual expression alone! They're too young for that stuff, anyway.

Do you want pro-aborts, gays and their sympathizers voting with you against Obama in 2012 or not? I realize many of them are part of the marxist faction of the democrat party that we will never get anyway, but many are independents who would otherwise vote republican. Maybe those votes won’t matter in 2012, but all the same, I’d rather have them voting with me.

We will see what happens with Paladino. I’ll be rooting hard for him to win, but this is going to hurt him more than help him, in my opinion. I’m not saying back down from your principles - I’m just saying you don’t need to present the media the opportunity to spin them and destroy you. I agree with him, but you need to maintain your positions publicly without using incendiary language like “dysfunctional” (even if it was crossed out - do you think the press really cares about that?)

Look at the democrats. Is there any discernible difference between them and self-described socialists? No, they call themselves democrats because they’d be unelectable with an S instead of a D next to their names, but that doesn’t deter them from advancing their socialist agenda. Word choice means a lot.

We need to elect R’s who will appoint justices who actually apply the law as it is written. This alone will prevent gay marriage and abortion by judicial fiat and leave it up to the citizens to fight those fights politically on a local level. Isn’t that what you want?

Your support of the outright, hellish lies of the homosexual agenda are not going to get me or others to shut up. In fact, I may even search you out to argue with you because lies that keep poor suffering people in the darkness of mental illness and perversion and early death make me angry! I want people to be free of suffering, not lie to keep them imprisoned in the so-called “gay” life, which is NOT gay, not happy, not normal, but also not engraved in stone - because they can change, if they want to, and if they know they can, and that there are people out there to help them.

RIGHT ON!

That isn’t nice, normal, natural or healthy. That behavior is due to severe mental illness. These people need help, not acceptance, tolerance or excuses.

RIGHT ON!

Furthermore, the sickest stuff is done by those who hate themselves the most.

This is the point of view that got us decades of RINOs, which self-perpetuated this point of view.

Expediency NEVER EVER works!

See number 90. De gustibus non est disputandum. Enjoy your funk. TOmorrow you can get up on the other side of the bed. THere’s an ancient and honorable history of using things like honey-coated turds to make a point. Sounds like you need to lay in a good supply of honey.
