Closet cases in the

Closet cases in the Republican Party

It’s very interesting how many closeted homosexuals there are in the Republican Party and in the current administration. Of course I’ve been reading the articles in the New York Times and the Washington Post and in my local paper about the scandals that are surfacing in the GOP. It is just amazing.
I find it amusing that the ones who scream the loudest about the supposed homosexual agenda are homosexual themselves. Deeply closeted ones to boot. Perhaps it is our puritanical upbringing and the constant ranting and the brainwashing of our young people about the supposed evils of being Gay in America has caused many to repress their sexuality and sexual desires. I think that this deep denial has caused many a person to have psychological problems later in life. Suppressing their feminine side and their desire for same sex relationships. Many choosing to go after much younger people who are not tainted by many years of the religious ranting. You have to remember that many of the kids today are not as victimized and are more open to alternative lifestyles than we, the older generation.
The religionists talk about the Traditional Family and how Gays and Lesbians will destroy their supposedly sacred tradition of Heterosexual Marriage. What they fail to realize is that there is no longer many Traditional Families left in our society. Like ostriches they have had their heads stuck in the sand for so long that what they once thought was tradition has passed them by and long time ago. Like many of our old folks they are stuck in the past without any concept of what is happening in the here and now. It is unfortunate and sad that this has been allowed to happen. It is also extremely dangerous that they want us to turn back history through religious extremism.
Now they are trying to pass an amendment to the constitution that will not only ban the rights of Gays and Lesbians but Heterosexuals to anything similar to marriage. Those who have gone through terrible divorces still want a partner but without the stigma marriage entails. Many of them don’t need all the privileges the state grants through marriage, only some of them. This mean spirited action will deny that. Perhaps you know someone who has a partner living together. How would you feel if these privileges were taken away? I wouldn’t be very happy either.
Now I know that there will be someone out there that will say that these privileges can be gained by hiring a lawyer to draw up the proper paperwork and filing them with the proper authorities. For some that is all well and good, but why make those who’s income barely meet their needs divert the money they need to live on to lawyers fees? That’s just stupid.
Besides that, no church or denomination will be forced to marry anyone if they choose not to. They are lying to you if they say otherwise. Only those churches that choose to honor these relationships will do so. It’s that simple, and no it won’t do anything to your marriage. The sanctity of marriage is between you and God not some human being or church no matter what they say. All the freebies you get from the State are gravy, nothing more. Believe it.    
It is in everyone’s best interest that we vote NO on the amendment in November.

AT LAST THE TRUTH ABOUT IRAQ

Shrtub who never experienced the Vietnam War or learned from it went inot Iraq with guns blazing with Shock and Awe in the grandiose of the typical cowboy from Texas that he is. No one in the White House apparently plays Chess either. If they had they would have considered the effects of each moves they could make and their consequences.
If you check my posts, I said it from the beginning, this is a war we can not win. I thought that after the Vietnam War we had learned our lesson. Apparently we didn't and now we are suffering the consequences. It isn't as though we shoulden't have gone in there. We should have done a Surgical Strike covert operation if you will) to take out Saddam. At the same time we should have been working with the government and Saddam's Army to stabalize the country and install new leaders for a smooth transition wothout incuring the wrath of the rest of the people.
As we are all too well aware that is not what happened and now we are paying the price for a very poorly planned and executed plan. The sooner we extricate ourselves the better. Isolate them if need be and stand by the sidelines and watch the country sink into civil war. When all is over then we can offer assistance to build a stable government without strong arm military intervention.
What do you think?
