Yea what a fool that guy is. Those recruiters won't leave me alone. Ever since I stopped at their booth at the mall to ask for directions, they've been mailing me, calling me, telling me of the benefits I'll accrue after 20 years of being gay, LOL.
Exactly.
Yes, in fact -- if such a place existed, they would certainly not have the govt tell people who they can spend their life with.
But I don't think I know of a place that is actually 'fiscally conservative' anymore. Do you?
I'm a political C. That means I don't believe in social engineering by the federal govt.
Social Cs who are Political Ls are what dominates the party now. So I am certainly not an R anymore. I *was*, back during the 'contract with america' days. But that was about "politics", not telling people what is "for the good of society".
I *was* a Republican, back in the 'Contract with America' days. Back when the party was about political Conservatism.
Now, the party is Socially Conservative, Politically Liberal. So I am certainly not an R anymore. They finally shook me from the tree with the immigration issue, and now this.
I'm a political conservative. Which most folks are. And the Social C, Political Ls who are pushing this are destroying the R party. At least, they have chased away the group who gave you the majority in 1994 -- Political Cs.
By far, most folks are "live and let live". If the Rs are going to become the party of social causes, they have lost political conservatives as surely as the Ds have.
Yep. I might just sit this election out and vote for an American Independent, Conservative Party, or something if we don't get a vote on it in the full Senate... If my Republican Senator votes against, he is toast...
When the national senate campaign calls me for money, I will tell them I don't consort with gay prostitutes...
Homosexual monogamy is cultural Marxism...
You are a political conservative? Yeah, right... so much for the Republican party...
I have never said I was a conservative; a right wing objectivist, maybe...
This thread has gotten you active again, hasn't it? :) Pity that most of your interloquitors really aren't putting you through your paces very well.
Here's a better solution. Let's leave the word marriage alone. The guy's old man beats the crap out of him, there are two solutions. Get tougher and beat the crap out of the old man or call the cops and then make your own way in the world after you testify at his trial.
That's probably what will happen.
Regarding the old man beating up the kid -- it went on for years. Now in this new and enlightened age, the kids are simply shown the door. A tough thing, but the way the world works. Many communities simply don't want gay guys living there.
LOL
Smoke screen issue. WHAT ABOUT THE ILLEGALS????
"No batteries required"
That's what happens when you end up in the wrong hood.
It's a way for Senators to go to their base and said I was involved in a futile effort that I knew wasn't going to pass, and I ignored taxes, the border, etc just in order to make you think I was doing something even though I knew it was going to fail.
Politics is the art of the possible. I want everything done that can get 50 votes. Immigration needs to be on the top of the list. McCain and them need a smack down. But there are not 67 votes for this, and they are just wasting our time.
As Jonah Goldberg said at NRO, this is just election year crap, to paraphrase him. The party ran hard on marriage in 2004, got sworn in on January 2005, and now wait til election season to do this? How seriously should anybody take them? Does anybody doubt that the same thing is going to happen again? After this loses, they will rally the base, might even get more "republicans" elected, then ignore the issue once again until summer 2008.
I figured they went to get the 'A' players. But they never came back. And then you showed up.
Now I am very, very suspicious. (gap toothed grin)
Bilbray or what'shername? And by how much?
I'm checking your bonafides. See if you're still as good as ever.
Wife sleeping very early tonight. Not feeling well but nothing serious. So here I am, loaded for bear, or wolves, or annoying squirrels. I can handle any of 'em.
Did you know that in 16 of the 18 open seats for Congresscritter that Bush won by more than 59-41. That's a high bar for the dem wannabes, no?
I wouldn't suspend or ban any poster that doesn't leave a stench behind them. Hell, I want to convert them!
Libertarian does not equal liberal. It is, infact, the philosophy most in tune with our Founders.
Conservative should not have to equal statist.
IMO, Conservatives should support both personal and economic freedom, not just one.
####Yes, in fact -- if such a place existed, they would certainly not have the govt tell people who they can spend their life with.####
Such a place will never exist. It's why every place you can think of where there's strong support for gay "marriage" (Holland, Sweden, Canada...) is also very socialistic, has lots of gun control, speech codes, etc.
BTW, how does opposing gay "marriage" have anything to do with who someone spends their life with?
####But I don't think I know of a place that is actually 'fiscally conservative' anymore. Do you?####
I'll have to agree with you on that one, though the places that are socially liberal tend to be the most socialistic.
####I'm a political C. That means I don't believe in social engineering by the federal govt.####
That's why I oppose judges changing the 5,000 year old definition of marriage. It's social engineering. And once we have gay "marriage", we'll have gay adoption, gay school curricula, hate speech laws, churches being punished by government for refusing to marry gays, more anti-discrimination laws telling people who they can hire or who they can rent their upstairs bedroom to. We'll have laws forcing restaurant owners to allow gay kissing on their property (they just passed this in England, where pubs are now required by law to permit this). We'll have private clubs membership practices being reviewed by government. We'll have to spend more taxpayers' money to provide benefits to gay couples. It'll be an explosion of government power and social engineering.
