Remember: Jesus loves you and shares your hatred of homosexuals.

Gee, I wish somebody had told Mark Foley(R - teen chasing homosexual) to change his "lifestyle", cuz he'd still be in congress right now!

If only Ted Haggard had changed his lifestyle of getting gay nude "massages" and smoking meth!

Like when that reporter stumped Herman Cain by asking him who would choose a gay "lifestyle".

Well, there goes the fabulous vote

He's just mad because they didn't save any pretzels for the gas jets.

Ghastly: To protect the world from devistation!

Thread over, pretty much. At what point did the Repubs turn into a less competent version of Team Rocket?

The same way the government shouldn't fund abortions with taxpayer money because of the idealogical divide on this issue, the government shouldn't be advancing what many would call "the homosexual agenda." I would take Obama/Clinton's concern trolling seriously if they acted this way towards, China, whose human rights violations affect ALL humans, not just gays. How often do the voters have to make themselves clear on these issues? We've written laws. We've even changed state Constitutions to ban gay marriage. We tolerate the lifestyle because Americans strive to be tolerant. Unfortunately, those of us forced to be tolerant find our own rights trampled upon.

On my campus, "gay rights week" is basically treated like a national holiday. Poorly attended events ignored by the majority of the (Christian) student body are covered endlessly by the news and heavily promoted by the administration. I'd love to help organize a "traditional values week" but I would probably get called a bigot.

I am simultaneously relieved and mortified that I was not the only person to jump to Team Rocket.

FTFA: "This is just the most recent example of an administration at war with people of faith in this country," Perry said in a statement. "Investing tax dollars promoting a lifestyle many Americas of faith find so deeply objectionable is wrong. President Obama has again mistaken America's tolerance for different lifestyles with an endorsement of those lifestyles."

"This administration's war on traditional American values must stop," Perry said.

Go fark yourself, Perry. It wasn't that long ago that many people felt a black man eating at the same restaurant as a white man was deeply objectionable. Did that make it right? It's pathetic that bigots such as you still exist in the world.

...love, compassion, and uh...something else.

...oops...

And which rights would those be?

Yet every time I do a "gotcha" stumping, they call it rape rape.

qorkfiend: dontpointthatthingatme: Unfortunately, those of us forced to be tolerant find our own rights trampled upon.

The right to force black people to give them piggy back rides to work! The right to punch their wives in the mouth for speaking out of turn! The right to lynch gays with their own scarves! Does it have to be spelled out for you?

I'm surprised Rick Perry hasn't said Obama waging war on religion is an unconstitutional breach of executive power that needs to be authorized by Congress.

"President Obama has again mistaken America's tolerance for different lifestyles with an endorsement of those lifestyles."

Um, no. They are not 'endorsing'. They are saying that we want the tolerance extended in the US to be extended everywhere. If you have a problem with what Clinton and Obama are doing, you have a problem with the toleration of homosexuality, not homosexuality per se. You can still view homosexuality as inferior to heterosexuality for whatever reason, while wanting it to be tolerated.

Awww. Poor widdle wingnut got his fee-fees hurt.

Conservatives hate gays because when they have sex it doesn't directly produce children.*




*despite the fact that they can adopt and/or use IVF to reproduce

You sound closeted.

"Save a pretzel for the gas jets! Ice cream."

This is simply Texas Political Culture War Playbook 101. When people are desperate and have their backs against the wall they go with what they know. Perry knows this would play well in Texas.

President Obama has again mistaken America's tolerance for different lifestyles with an endorsement of those lifestyles.

Right, so he's promoting American tolerance abroad. Where's the issue?
