Hey Ted, do you ever get tired of the ignorant twats that don’t get your humor posting in the comments section? I don’t - they make your comics even funnier. Carry on!
My first reaction was to laugh. It’s not PC, but I think it’s funny.
“Isn’t the worst possible outcome of the remainder of this administration 10X better than the results of W Inc?”
Better yes, but I don’t know about 10 times. It is refreshing to see analysis used as a policy tool, and despite my dislike for many of his policies, I have to admit that he’s a master politician who already is doing a fine job of positioning himself for re-election.
As a gay man, this rather neatly sums up my feelings.
I was also not millified by a bunch of Power Gays getting hors deurves at the WH while the anniversary of Stonewall was treated like little more than St Patrick’s Day or Cinco de Mayo (IE- a reason to get drunk).
Rall is right in tunes with the people that matter most on this.
It makes much sense to give homosexuals all the protections and benefits the law grants to all individuals from both the state and federal levels, out from the principle of equality and fairness.
Though there is much sense also in having an honest discussion about sex and homosexuality.
If sex is a biological instinct that procures the perpetual reproduction of our species, why do we use sex as recreation? Our DNA’s biological instinct is not to seek for pleasure but to seek for replication. The pleasure part is the manner in which our DNA assures its survival. In a way, we are fooled into thinking sex is purely for pleasure, but it’s more like a deception.
Why is then sex used for pleasure? Homosexuality is the epitome, the apex of this phenomenon. And it doesn’t make much sense therefore either. Why would a man have intimacy with another male when there is absolutely no chance of reproduction? What it’s more striking though, is the passive male’s willingness to receive pleasure through an organ that has evolved only to dispose all that was not possible to digest, and the proactive male’s conscious awareness of said function.
Yet homosexuality is well documented even on less evolved species, wherein the “cultural nurture” theory is a moot argument, though I wouldn’t be sure if said events have only been attempts at homosexual intercourse or actual ones.
Hmmm, perhaps the African American Lyndon Johnson might do, socially sorta progressive, regressive in foreign affairs - like war…Keep fighting the good fight Ted!!!
Churchill, please refrain from generalizing about Black people. Even if you have conversations with “intelligent” Blacks you haven’t even talked to .00001% of us so your opinion is total speculation. This is no different than if I state that the vast majority of white conservatives have no clue how the policies they vote for will have on them. People are people and we all vote with the idea that we are voting for what we believe is best for ourselves and families. As far as I’m concerned the GOP in general and McCain/Palin in particular were inferior candidates and one cannot blame ANYONE for not voting for them

Rall is an overly idealistic moron and one of the reasons the far right has gained so much traction. Join us in the real world.
