Here’s another guy dangerously and ridiculously insisting what happened in Mumbai can’t happen here.
Kennedy move deals blow to immigration reform plan
Well, at least on country knows what to do about illegal aliens.
Guess which of the two sectors; prublic or private, will show the greater percentage of absentees in the “Day Without GAY”.
Betcha thought public sector. Me too.
Some of us gays are so protected. After all, as ‘Saint Oriana Falacci’ called gays, “near canonized”. It’s called “infantilizing”.
Retired now, but for years as an administrative law judge (out in ‘gay-so-what’ mode – like yourself), there were days I relished when the professing “Oh so gayly political” didn’t show up.
I’ve been ‘out’ for so long, maybe since the Civil War, I missed all the drama. I was working too hard at the time.
I wouldn’t say the article on Mumbai not happening in NY was “dangerous” per se. I got from the article that the author believed, based on some evidence, that NYPD is better trained than the Indian police in Mumbai and that while something like that could START, it would probably finish much quicker.
I might disagree with that part – there’s no way of knowing for sure. I have a feeling our American police would be better trained to handle it, but who knows.
It’s not necessarily a dangerous opinion to have that we might be better equipped to deal with such a situation than India was. I don’t picture NYPD taking off during a crisis. Quite the opposite I’m sure.
If the author had sad it couldn’t happen here at all, not even get started, then yeah I would agree.
Otherwise, no.
I think if the terrorists wanted to do something like the Mumbai attacks in the United States, all they would have to do is find a “gun free” zone. The people would be defenseless until the police arrived.
Attacking something like a gun show, or the NRA convention on the other hand…
I think Kalifornia is trying to say something with Proposition 8. Is anyone listening?
What’s the big deal against civil unions? Unless it’s really not about equality of rights and protections?
I see this as a quest to relive the so-called “Liberation Movements.” Which is really just a euphemism for wanton destruction of morals and traditions for self-validation.
Considering Kennedy was not what one would call a guiding light in the legal field, his departure from the Sennate Judiciary Committee just clears some of the hot air; the foul fumes from a fossilled fool.
But, he’s spent more on defense lawyers for his drunk driving and paternity suits, so he knows the value of attorneys – – and is friends with some of the best judges money can buy.
As to his advocacy for immigrants, he got an IRA in-law through it. So what’s it to him anymore?
My question is since Gays in reality make up a very small percent of the population,will anyone notice?
Barack Obama: Bringing Chicago politics to all of America
I think there are two separate factions even in the pro-choice camp: those who believe abortion anytime, anywhere, under any circumstances and those like yourself who believe for the majority of women, with all the advances we’ve made in the last few decades, to have an abortion in 2008 is to have failed.
I think we can court the latter group because that’s the group that can agree with pro-lifers in that we want to see a reduction in the number of abortions. Barack Obama, in his nomination acceptance speech at the DNC convention, actually put forth a false scenario stating that both pro-choice and pro-life camps can at least agree on wanting to see a reduction in the number of UNWANTED PREGNANCIES. False. What a subtle twist in the argument. No, the argument is pro-life and pro-choice camps should be able to concede that we want to see a reduction in the number of ABORTIONS. There’s a difference. Many, many pregnancies are unwanted but it is my belief that almost none should result in abortion. Other authentic conservative viewpoints would vary to some degree but ultimately it’s a view that believes in getting the government out of the abortion business but more importantly, a belief that values life.
Abortion is not glamorous, period. Women should always have the choice with regard to their own bodies but a woman makes a poor choice when she has unprotected sex and gets pregnant when she is not prepared to be a mother. Choice is one thing, but all actions have consequences. It may be her body but she doesn’t “own” that child inside her. She is one of the parents of that child and that child, as a living breathing being, has rights despite its location.
I guess authentic conservatives do not need to draw hard lines regarding abortion but make an effort and work at seeing its instances reduced. We do not need to actively court the extreme abortionists’ vote. There are a number of policy stances and issues that matter more from a macro perspective such as the idea of small government and less government spending. If the government were smaller, it wouldn’t have the means to meddle in the business of farming, nor education, nor the auto industry, nor the business of abortions.
Day Without a Gay = EPIC FAIL
our society has not grown reliant on gays when it comes to industries involved, such as hotels, restaurants, farming, construction, and basically cheap labor or any service industry.
Day without a Hispanic worked because a large number of hispanics inhabited jobs that kept the wheels turning in our economy. even then, if the day without a hispanic became a week or a month or even a year, enough people would fill in those jobs over time. making things come to a screeching halt for one day proves little as this country provided people of hispanic/latin descent an opportunity, to which they took advantage of.
All this “Day without a Gay” stuff proves is that the alternative lifestyle isn’t mainstream to the point that the world will stop spinning if the gays decided to stay home on December 10, 2008.
yep, malignant narcissism.
