A mind in which such a thought occured when reading the article is one which I am glad I do not possess.
Well, that explains a lot. I have no fear of them, nor does my son. We know that we are heterosexuals and as such have nothing to fear. Fear comes from being insecure about your own feelings, you fear that you might like it.

Amen, and amen! Thank you, Lord, for our wonderful President. Please continue to guide him as he leads this nation.
Please continue to keep him safe, and fill him with your wisdom and discernment.
Please keep him humble, realizing that he needs You for this strength.
Have you ever listened to Kirbyjohn Caldwell, President Bush's Pastor? He makes most Southern Baptists sound liberal.
I'm so grateful for Pastor Caldwell, he has prepared our President well.
Oh...I guess you must practice perfection in order to connote "solemn devotion." Pardon me, but I do the same thing and consider myself a pious individual. The characteristics Sullivan is criticizing Bush for are NORMAL human emotions that EVERYONE does, including Andrew. And just in case Andy forgot his own religion, engaging in anal sex is a far more serious sin than calling adam clymer an a**hole. He should pluck the beam from his own eye first.
Don't forget, dear friend, God is IN CHARGE! He saw us through the last election, in spite of outright voter fraud. He put W through the crucible of that election. It seems like a thousand years ago, even just since 9/ll!
As long as President Bush continues to bend his knee, and as long as WE continue to uphold him in prayer, the demonrats WILL NOT prevail!
At the same time, I have found some of his writing narcissistic and self-absorbed -- a quality found in a lot of gay writers. Not surprising. I think at its heart homosexuality is about narcissism.
Much as I love what he writes, I suspect I would not enjoy spending an afternoon with Mr. Sullivan, shooting the breeze. I get the feeling that he believes in the egocentric view of the universe -- everything revolves around him -- a modern day Oscar Wilde. (I may be wrong.)
Still, that does not mean I cannot admire and enjoy his writings. After all, I love Beethoven's music, but I understand that he was a bit much to take, also. Especially downwind.
Jimmuh also SUPPORTS the entire demonrat agenda - partial-birth abortion, clintbilly, and all the rest of their perverted beliefs.
Don't sound too Christian to me.
I always find such considerations important before I apply something to someone else -- or to myself, for that matter.
I'll be interested to hear your response.

Well, that's where I disagree with him. It obviously
revolves around me and I am unanimous in that.
I used to like Sullivan, inspite of his being gay. I agreed with his politics. That's all I cared about. But then he wrote a bunch of columns that were brutal and unfair. Also, he wrote a colunn, and I apoligize for being so vague but I really don't want to have to go back through his stuff to be more specific, that was supporting gay activity among teens or something. Again, I remember how I felt shocked about it but not the specific words.
If he wants to be gay ....whatever. But, it's an adult subject and I strongly feel that kids should be left out of it. Not in the Boy Scouts. Not in school. That is why I jest about being afraid of them. I get tired of being called names but the gay activism and prostlityzing being done in schools, etc... does scare me.
I think Sullivan is a very smart guy. I would guess that he was introduced to gay sex as a youth and that's why he thinks it's okay. It is not okay.
Then, he wrote about 5 straight articles slamming Jerry Falwell. Falwell's apology just got in Sullivan's way. His agenda came before sincerity and truth. If Sullivan can hate Falwell for his WORDS on a Christian Broadcasting Network then why can't someone hate Sullivan for his WORDS in print? hmm? Seems contradictory to slam someone for only practicing the same technique your admired Sullivan uses. (I use the word "hate" loosely here. I know that gay activists love the word so much so I try to use it as much as I can when discussing the issue.)
Anyway, there have been numerous other areas that he seems to bounce back and forth from conservative to extreme liberal. I've promised myself to remember this trait about him.
Yes, that is exactly right.

Everything I have read indicates that President Bush was not a heavy drinker or an alcoholic. I took him to a party back in those days, and I don't specifically remember him having any alcohol to drink.
