Thoughts On Not Being Gay
by: Paul Lubaczewski

I spend alot of time and effort on gay rights,and Im straight. Why? Because I dont care.

What do I mean?

I dont want to care. Frankly, I dont like to picture any of my friends knocking boots, regardless of the boots they care to knock.
And its not fair that my gay friends are pushed into a situation where they constantly feel the need to defend themselves for their own sexuality; just the basic them of who they are. They get so drawn in to a corner, that being gay becomes their identity, because they have to mentally protect themselves against the backlash they know is coming.

We can do better then that. We can and should reach a level of tolerance where we really dont give a flying fuck about what two consenting adults do in the privacy of their own bedroom.

So as long as I have gay friends, and as long as society paints them in to a corner and tries to keep them there, I'll fight for them.
When society lets them serve in the military and the board rooms, and nobody cares one way or the other, then I'll put down my sword.

Until then, its on.

I'd pay $1000 to punch Oliver North in the face. Seriously. Just sayin'!

You know, I don't say this often, but anti-american, convicted felon, GOP-er, sorry-excuse-for-a-Marine, and all around asshole, Oliver North, deserves to get the living shit beat out of him, or run over by a car, for his latest drivel. He sincerely deserves it. I'm already looking forward to the "good riddance, asshole!" I'm going to shout out when he eventually dies. Just watch this video.

It's the height of irresponsibility, and FOX Noise should be ashamed of themselves. Seriously. They are selling this 100%, untrue ignorant garbage to tens of millions of Americans.

For Oliver North to invoke and equate NAMBLA, and other felonious, psychotic, HETEROSEXUAL adult men who rape, abuse, torture, and physically and mentally scar little boys for life, with adults who actually deserve their civil rights as law-abiding americans, is a FUCKING OUTRAGE! I hate this fucker.

awesome quotes I heard this week...

"You don't have to be straight to be in the military; you just have to be able to shoot straight." - Barry Goldwater

I LOVE this. And from one of the Grandfathers of the conservative movement! This has been tossed around a lot the last few days, as the Obama administration is finally getting around to fulfilling a promise it made during the Presidential campaign: getting rid of the ludicrous "Don't ask, don't tell" (otherwise known in the tweet/status update/mobile device world as DADT) policy we have in the military. It's time. Look, there was a time when DADT was better than nothing. And it definitely was an important 'baby step.' And of course, it was Democrats who cared enough to pass it. Time's have changed, however. Right? Or left? For an up to the minute report (and links to others), on Defense Secretary Robert Gate's and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff's standoff with select members of the Senate today, click here.



"Fucking retarded." - Rham Emanuel. He said this last August, at a weekly strategy session featuring liberal groups and White House aides. Some attendees said they were planning to air ads attacking conservative Democrats who were balking at Mr. Obama's health-care overhaul.

Now, I love this quote too, but with an (*) asterisk. Asterisk: The word "retarded" is offensive to many, and the President's Chief of Staff should know this, and should've used better judgement (it's 2010, now Rahm; we use the word, "leotarded" in these instances now!). But the sentiment he was conveying, I agree with. And his directness I find refreshing. And it's FUNNY as hell. And I say this as a hardcore liberal/dem, who's got all kinds of problems with Obama's lack of leadership on healthcare/insurance reform. These particular Dems just weren't looking at the big picture. For the original Wall St. Journal piece, click here. To read about Sarah Palin calling for his resignation, and more fallout/analysis, click here.



"Bon Jovi. Their own tribute band." - John Agnello, via twitter, during their Grammy performance, 2 nites ago.

Seriously. I know Jon is a very nice person, a homeboy, a BIG Obama supporter, and highly charitable. But, what. the. fuck. How many more decades do I need to watch this shitty band perform on TV? How many more? I NEVER got this tired of the Rolling Stones, or Dick Clarke, or Evander Holyfield when they never went away! C'mon!
