“Very true--for proof, check out all the Republican politicians who are always coming against civil rights for gay people, and then we have incidents such as Larry Craig's wide stance in the men's room at the Minneapolis airport!”

“Great comment, and I would add that it's time to stop putting issues such as same-sex marriage to a popular vote. In Europe, marriages must be done as civil unions, and then, if the couple desires, they are married in a religious ceremony. Marriage as a civil union between two consenting adults is a civil right, and believe me, if civil rights for minorities such as African-Americans or Native Americans had been put to a popular vote in the not-so-distant past, that would have been voted down, just as same-sex marriage has been. The concept is called "tyranny of the majority" and it's not right!”

“when interracial marriage was made legal as a civil right, there was NO popular vote! it was simply clarified that yes indeed it is a right.”

Perino: No Terrorist Attacks In America Under Bush (VIDEO)

“He's on vacation this week--hopefully, he'll say something about it next week.
Well now, Ms. Perino has done it again--first, during her tenure as Shrub's press secretary, she had no inkling that the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962 was a pivotal event in this country's history. Now, she seems to have developed amnesia regarding 9/11! What is it about women who profess to be Republicans? Is part of the requirement to be Republican and female that you have an IQ of minus 30??”

“Her gender has nothing to do with it, her political leanings and her lack of basic integrity do. Not understanding the Cuban Missile Crisis is perhaps a function of intense rightwing indoctrination - after all, it was the Kennedy administration that successfully de-escalated that crisis, and it's tough for righties to come to grips with the idea that a Democratic administration dealt with a Soviet threat effectively.”

“I feel the same as you--I remember watching "The Sonny and Cher Show" on television in the early seventies, and at the end of each episode, they would bring out Chastity, who was an adorable little girl. Now, she's Chaz, an overweight man (I wonder if it's the hormones that he's taking that's causing the weight gain). I hope that Chaz is able to be at peace with himself, and I truly hope that he can lose some of the weight--that can't be good for his health!”
Anthro replied on Nov 19, 2009 at 23:37:59
“It's too bad that Sonny and Cher exploited their child way back when; that makes it harder for him now--and I so admire his courage in light of that.
He was obese before all this, maybe to do with his misery. At any rate, I'm sure he and his girlfriend are aware of the health risks and will work on it in their own time and way. There are lots of fat people these days; he's certainly not alone in that.
I think the voice is very masculine at this point and that he presents as a male--not as a masculine lesbian.”

Rachel Maddow, Frank Schaeffer Discuss The Latest In Thinly-Veiled Evangelical Christian Obama Death Threats
Commented Nov 18, 2009 at 16:27:48 in Politics
“Every time Frank Schaeffer is on Rachel Maddow or Keith Olbermann, I wonder why he doesn't have a show of his own. He presents his arguments so well, and when he talks about the evangelical right-wingers and their effects on politics, he is certainly knowledgeable from his first-hand experiences.
I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for those evangelical preachers to come out against the kind of activities that Frank Schaeffer so eloquently described--they (the preachers) might lose their primary source of funding. That is, monetary contributions from people who plainly have never had an independent thought in their lives!
Wouldn't it be nice if the tax exemption on religious institutions was repealed??”
