We would assume that in this country where it’s not illegal to be gay (whoops, how many days left do with have with President Dumbkov? Well, lets just assume that he forgets to do a last minute fix of that “problem”) – in a country where its currently not illegal to be gay, that we would sign a non binding declaration presented by the United Nations calling for worldwide decriminalization of homosexuality without hesitation.
It was just a little ole declaration seeking universal decriminalization of homosexuality.
And many of our friends in Japan, Mexico, Australia and the entire EU all signed it this past Thursday.
But no, we stood with our friends in backwards and/or repressive countries including members of the Organization of the Islamic Conference! Countries like: Iran. Remind me, aren’t we supposed to be better than Iran? Aren’t we the ones that are supposed to the protector of human rights while Iran is a member of the “Axis of Evil” as George W. has labeled them many times? The Organization of the Islamic Conference suggested that protecting sexual orientation could lead to "the social normalization and possibly the legalization of deplorable acts" such as pedophilia and incest.
Really?
Wow, that’s a pretty far stretch ain’t it? Especially when it has been proven that there are greater instances of pedophilia in the heterosexual community – girls have been victims by a 3 out of 4 victim margin, usually by men.
But alas, even Rick Warren, Obamas choice to lead the invocation at his inauguration has compared being gay to just one step away from being an incestuous polygamist pedophile!
That’s right dear readers, Warren is against something that Jesus never mentioned (Homosexuality) and saying its just as bad as something Jesus condoned (Polygamy).
In a recent interview Warren stated, “I have many gay friends. I’ve eaten dinner in gay homes. No church has probably done more for people with AIDS than Saddleback Church,” going on to say that during a protest he gave the homo’s water and doughnuts!
In the same interview, he compared the “redefinition of a marriage” to include gay marriage to legitimizing incest, child abuse, and polygamy. (Here, again, I wish someone would point out to him that the heterosexual oriented community has committed its fair share, if not more, of the above mentioned moral turpitudes).
No rights, just pastries. How very Christian of him. :rolleyes:
This country has a gay problem! And on many levels. Its fine to serve our country in the military as long as we keep our mouths shut, but if we want to collect food-stamps or disability or other benefits for living below the poverty line, sorry, we’ll have to take into account that longtime partner that makes too much money.
I am very hopeful that things will change, albeit slowly, under President Obama. I’m not even angry over his choice of Rick Warren because his choice for the benediction is none other than the very progressive Rev. Joe Lowery. Rev. Lowery is a hero of the civil rights movement and co-founder of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference with Martin Luther King. He also is a supporter of same-sex marriage.
I was inspired by a caller to the Thom Hartmann program last week, who put this into perspective for me: Rev. Warren gives the invocation at the beginning and Rev. Lowery gives the benediction which happens towards the end. Obama is showing us where we are now, and where we are going.
I'm at the salt mine early today since we have a 1 PM Devils game followed by a bunch of college BB games. I should be getting relieved so at least I will be able to get out early tonight and hopefully catch the Giant game. They better not fuck this one up like last week.

Great post as usual VJ, I would just like to point out the grammatical error in the above quote. There are no possive homos here. They are homos plural. Please protect and resepect the innocent and often abused apostrophe!

btw, Sister love is out of the hospital already and recovering at home. She came VERY close to a bad thing, but they got the appendix out in the knick of time.
Now she just needs to chill and let everyone help her finish off her holiday shopping.
(yeah, she is stressing that... )

Ladies and Gentlemen... we have a major annoucement... Kizzy the Dog is, for the first time, actually Chewing on a rawhide bone.
It took the master stroke of runbbing it down with pepperoni and stuffing it's brevasses, but I do think she finally gets the idea that she is ALLOWED to chew on it!
sniff... it's a Christmas Hanukkah miracle.

They're you go again, complaining about apostrophe's and peoples grammer. Whom died and made you are king?
Bobber it is my only grammatical quirk. It drives me crazy, seriously. I expect the badly educated locals to do this, but not the fabulous, urbane, cultured 4Fers.

: struggles into blog :
Howdy folks!
I shoveled snow.
I baked two batches of cookies.
I worked a full 8 hours in retail on the Saturday before Christmas.
I finished shopping.
I did laundry.
I made pie.
I shoveled some more.
I made another batch of pizzeles.
I cooked Sunday dinner.
There is, officially, nothing left in TriSec's tank this weekend.
:thud:

I finally get out early one night and I'm looking at the Giants possibly blowing another one. This isn't playoff material. But then again the Jets lost to Seattle and the only way they can make the playoffs is if they beat Miami next Sunday and the Pats lose.
