Funny thing here is that homosexuality has been with us since the dawning of time. The problem with it is that western religions have given it a label and made it taboo.
Christianity is suppose to be this,"love thy neighbor" faith of peace and happiness but they are really just bigots. They cling to passages in their bible that claim to be the word of god.
But if you read them, they are just the writings of angry bigots of the time.
I feel sorry for this kid who belongs to this cult. For the rest of his life he will be praying for jesus to remove his demons.
I see three paths for this kid,
one is acceptance of who he is and living in peace.
Hiding his homosexuality from the world and becoming another Ted Haggard
Another entails a worse fate that many times is taken by kids in the same boat.
I for one hope he find peace.....

Ah yes, the moral majority showing their true colors. This guy was just another knock down for the far right. As the rounds keep passing the more and more they look like nothing more than want-a-bes.
The other contenders for the title of king of the Republican party is slowly getting thinner....Who will be next to fall, anyone taking bets?LOL

Oh my can the far right religious loons get any funnier!!!!LOL
I am with you Anomaly_JR....What can anyone with an IQ over 70 say other than...WTFO?

They need to go under a rock....
MY my what is next witch burnings?LOL "no no this deserves a double "LOL"
FREAKS!LOL
I can not stop my laughter!!!! Oh my this takes the cake!!!!LOL
Have these people not heard of reason?LOL
Okay okay, to be honest.....wait wait, can not stop laughing at these freaks!!!!
Okay okay.....to be honest.....I have met folks like these....
Way back in the day when I was studying the bible text, yes I used to be a bible thumper before I woke myself up.....LOL
Okay, I met folks like this, they have so much faith in mans ability to speak to god. That they actually believe they are messengers of god.
They believe that they can drive out demons like the early Christians did in "the book of Acts".
They some times start speaking in this stupid tongues (that is what got me thinking they were nutz) and they really believe that they are special.
It is really sad that they put this kid through this because all they have done is driven this guy into the closet.
Feel sorry for this guy, hope he one day works through this insanity they put him through......
BTW to our dear friends here who are also religious fanatics......We live in the 21st century.......Please come join us the water is just fine!!!!LOL

OK so we have established that this Hal Turner is in fact the same Hal Turner that ran for office as a Republican. Now if it looks like a duck and walks like a duck is it a duck?
Accept it, you guys on the far right have some real winners. Now that is not saying the left does not have it's share of winners. But "RIGHT" now your loons are hitting the front pages and left is quiet...LOL

Actually Turner was a far right wing hack. He was a friend of none other than the poster boy for the far right, Sean Hannity. He also tried to win the Republican Party nomination for the New Jersey's 13th congressional district but lost.
Take a look at his bio.....

So you are saying that more than 50% of Americans want Doctors to write the new health care bill. Well do happen to have anything that proves your statement?
I do not think many people would want Doctors to write a health care plan.
I think most Americans would love to have the same health care plan that the Government gives it's employees. Here let me help you, check out the plan;
http://public-healthcare-issues.suite101.com/article.cfm/healthcarefortheus_congress
http://www.opm.gov/insure/health/
Their plan is a darn nice one, and guess what, it works and it is real cheap. We do not need to ask Doctors anything, we have what we need right now.
Tort reform would limit the payments for injuries incurred because of a Doctors/Hospitals mistake.
Let's see how much for that leg, hm the patient did not use it much. Ok 400 dollars seems fair...
Take the case Dr. Rolando R. Sanchez, this fine surgeon remove the wrong leg of a patient. The hospital paid 1.2 million and the Doctor lost his license for a whopping six months.
Let's see, man loses leg Doctor's license is suspended for 6 months. LOL The Doctor should have lost his license completely. Do not know about you but I do not want to have this guy as my surgeon.
http://www.gainesville.com/article/20061021/LOCAL/61021012?Title=Finding-out-your-doctor-s-history-can-be-difficult-but-prudent
In my world if you are a professional who has the lives of people in your hands and you cost people injury or death by your mistake. You deserve to pay dearly for those mistakes.
If an engineer makes a mistake on plans people will be injured. Same for a Doctor if he cuts the wrong leg then someone will suffer.
You see it in favor of the Doctors because you want to protect them. But who protects the people?
Well then I shall, what is Socialism?
1.a theory or system of social organization that advocates the vesting of the ownership and control of the means of production and distribution, of capital, land, etc., in the community as a whole.
Take a look at what the supporters of tort reform advocate... http://www.atra.org/
Btw take a nice look at the staff and what party they belong to, I do not think any of them are Democrats or Independents.
I just love this line;
ATRA is the only national organization exclusively dedicated to repairing our civil justice system. ATRA fights in Congress, in state legislatures, and in the courts to make the system fairer. We identify and champion elected officials and judges who want to fix the system. In the media, we serve as the national voice of the civil justice reform movement.
repairing our civil justice system
That is Socialism.....................
The Republicans have been attempting to "change" our system of government for the longest time. They claim they are trying to reform a damaged system. But what they are doing is trying to reform our nation into a Socialist nation. All the time claiming that they are doing it to save America.
America is just fine the way the Founding Fathers created it. Anyone who says different is a Socialist.........

What? Okay could you elaborate? I am a bit confused by your statement.... Are you saying that Iranians owe Bush for this attempt at more freedom?
Or if Bush would have not been so forceful with the regime and things were not so bad the Iranians would not be attempting this?
What exactly do you mean, I am attempting to understand your post, ty...
But I do think that electing a President like Obama shows the world (and the Iranians) we are not the same nation.
Difference between Iran and Iraq is Iran would fight back a little harder. The attack on Iraq was a blunder to say the least. But Bush and company was not stupid enough to start a World War.
So the claim that "if he wanted to" there was no "if he wanted". He would have never bombed Iran not even he was that stupid.
Remember Russia and China have major investments in Iran. Not to mention many European nations. Take a look at some of the Construction equipment that is being used in Iran. Look at the names and figure out where they came from.

Money talks and political bs does not go as far. Bush was not stupid.....

In other words,"I have no comment!"LOL
That is okay, just as long that we both have points of views on the route our nations needs to be taking.
You are for one thing that I consider an abuse of the people, but you see it different.
Isn't America great when two points of view can argue?
That goes to prove that our Great Nation is not heading in a socialist direction.....

So you want one group to control how the justice system works?
Isn't that a little socialist?
The AMA has been one of those groups lobbying to protect their bread and butter over the good of the people. They have paid their way to power. Now the people are paying for them to enjoy a happy lifestyle.
In my book a socialist will want to remove the right of the people to receive just compensation.
If the AMA has it's way, a person who gets his/her leg cut off by an incompetent doctor should not have the right to sue. That to me only protects the doctors and not the patients. Doctors need to do a good job at what they do and stop crying poor me. They forget that people suffer because of their mistakes.
Doctor screws up doctor should get sued, what is so hard about that?
In my book Republicans are more socialist then any Democrat out there. The day that Republicans start taking the needs of the people over the needs of the rich, that is when I will start taking a closer look at them. But until then my vote is with the Democrats.
Man it is good to be an Independent.....No party loyalty.....

Nixon was one of the most paranoid politicians we have ever had. I think his paranoia started after his defeat to Kennedy. Or could it have been after losing the California Governor's election? Hm
Nixon was to be a bag of mixed nuts.

The route our President is very wise. He has played this diplomatic plot like a true veteran. Too bad the other administration did not act like the present one is doing.
Funny watching the far right go nutz trying to make something out of nothing.
The far right truly looks like want-ta-be politicians next to our President....LOL

We must not forget that Justice is blind. Yes this was tragic, but if he did not intentionally ignore the signal then he should be charged with involuntary manslaughter.
The was a tragic accident that the young man must live with the rest of his days.
I feel for all families involved, very sad all the way around.

Soon the far right usual suspects will be on here claiming that President Obama is a war monger. Or better yet that he is pandering to his critics....LOL
I can not wait to see what they think of his timed response to the happenings in Iran......
If the man wears a blue suit the usual suspects will claim that the suit is really green. They seem never to see what it is front of them . They only see what they are told.....LOL

The sky is falling the sky is falling!
Please far right have a seat on the couch, put on your aluminum caps and post on your blogs how Socialist our President is, you will feel better.
Or you can always sit on the couch and tell the good Doctor all about your fears about big bad President Obama....
You guys know that they make some happy happy drugs that will help you to coup.....But where is the fun all all that?LOL
So you do not have a problem with the cost of health care today? You are ok with paying through the nose? No problem with going broke just to pay for one medical bill?
You must get FREE Doctors visits from your Brother. But the rest of Americans have to pay as they visit.....

I agree with you injet, I too think that all countries should have election monitors. If we had them in the last few elections things would have turned out much different and we would not be in this mess.....
Oh if only the UN had sent in monitors to make sure all elections were fair and proper.....
Oh wait, you did not mean every nation? Oh sorry I thought you did.....Opps my bad.....
Now let us have fun with the far right.......
Now for something totally different....let us have a seat and take a look at reality none far right wing reality.
The far right believes that "we the people", means the entire world.....But, as the rest of us know, it does not mean that.
The saying term "We the People" comes from the United States and is not a mandate to change the world.
We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union
Is that not a beautiful beginning to a nation?
We do not have the right to force our system down anyone's throat, no matter how badly you far right wingers want to...
You see that is not the way things work in the world, and especially not the way our Founding Fathers envisioned the way things should be run for our nation........
I know, I know W, Cheney, Rummy, Wolfie, Irving Kristol and the rest of the "world building" Neoconservatives have brainwashed into believing that that is best for our nation.
But it is not.....If you destroy it then you have to rebuild it.....and guess what....it cost money!
So why not follow the strategy that our President and wait it out and allow him to do the back door deals to get things in order. Guess what, his way saves lives and MONEY!
Remember, he is the "Leader of the Free World'...Why not let him lead?

So far right wing Republicans are more concerned with Iran that the United States of America???? What????
Come on stop supporting nation building and start supporting our nation......Right now we need every American to help out rather than help other nations.
After our President has corrected the last 8 years of hell then we can worry about everyone else. But right now we need to take care of America....Well unless you rather not...
Glad to see the far right believes in party before America......At this rate you guys will not have a single voice in congress......
