Still, you have to really wonder about these Conservatives. Haggard gets caught with a male hustler, despite his vehement condemnation of homosexuality. Now here is Tobias, using an escort agency for a massage, while preaching to dying people, they shouldn’t use condoms, but just not have sex.

Hard for me to understand how these religious groups can afford all these legal battles. Don’t the people who put money into their collection plates except the money to go to helping the poor? the less fortunate? If so, when did that include fighting legal battles to promote racism, and to attack those who are promoting tolerance?

Busy talking about the Hockey playoffs and the upcoming Olympics in 2010? Give me a break. Isn’t it time someone stood up and got counted? Why is it, that we simply accept this nonsense, high gas prices, higher food prices, and for what? So CEO’s of Oil Companies can buy a new private jet, or retire to become Stephen Harper’s advisor on ethics?

I might not be the best moral person around, but you know, I’ll stack my ethics and morals up against these people any day of the week, and no, not in some court, but on Judgement Day.

Perhaps it is for this simple obstacle, that Gay Rights are such a battle. It should be National, not State by State and yet, it seems that there is where the focus goes. To each State, that simply makes no sense. Without strong Federalism, is it a wonder that Education is not working? That there is no Universal National Health?

I don’t have the answers, but I still have some hope, that basically mankind is good and compassionate. Don’t see much of that these days, and you do see a lot of fear, and irrational hatreds, but I don’t know. Seeing things like the Mathew Shepard Bill, the Indiana Billboard campaign, I think there is hope.

It goes directly to how he is running his department. If he can’t even get proper advice on how to deflect answers at least, without looking like a total incompetent, how can he determine who to prosecute, and who not to? How can he determine if border guards are being railroaded, or if they are innocent if he can’t even recall what a meeting was about, when there is even written notes about it?

Either he gets fired by Bush or Quits, don’t matter, but really, over 60 ‘I don’t recall’ should be enough when that person is supposed to be prepared. Lends itself to the speculation that the firings were indeed political, that a cover up does exist. Whether there is one or not, no longer really matters. Gonzales has clearly indicated that the job is way too big for him, just as being President is beyond George W. Bush.

Mitt Romney for example can raise $20 million dollars for his presidential campaign, and could very likely be the nominee, and you wonder, How? How can someone who promotes hatred, fights for inequality, could ever be considered as a candidate for the nomination, never mind stand a chance at winning it. That is what is scary, as more and more single minded candidates emerge, with no real plan on how to build a country, how to protect the freedoms of that country, but are only concerned with how to take away those freedoms, those basic rights.

If those who oppose homosexuality truly value children, theirs and others, then this hatred must stop. The danger to innocent kids is too great and with such easy access to weapons, it is only time before more violence erupts, like at Viriginia Tech.

Makes me wonder if it is about homosexuality at all. Perhaps it is about the power they gain over their flock? Or the money they seem to fleece. Mitt Romney sure got a whole stack of cash, pushing his anti-gay beliefs. Maybe it is just that we are the scapegoats of this time, like the Jews were for the Germans?

Frankly, it is rather scary to think of all those who knew of his weirdness, and who weren’t able to get anyone in authority to actually listen and do something. Makes you wonder as well, what is happening to the intelligence level of those in charge? Has dumb become normal now?

33 People have died in the shooting at Virginia Tech, and it is a day of sadness.
There are many issues that come into play here, and the media is in its usual frenzy trying to speculate as the flow of information from law enforcement is slow to come, by their standards.
I have no comment today, [...]

I don’t get this, biting one’s tongue nonsense when it comes to sex. If you don’t like sucking cock, shouldn’t your partner know that? Least then you won’t have to pretend to have a headache, or better yet, maybe you’ll find a way to learn how to enjoy it. That is what open discussion does, one more reason why Free Speech needs to be upheld.

There I think is perhaps one of the fundamental differences between the Stephen Harper Conservatives and the other political parties in this country. The other parties are able to accept defeat and to recognize the value of the judicial system. It is something Mr Harper and his Klan need to learn, and hopefully the next election will teach them, that in Canada, intolerance, racism, and bigotry, are not acceptable.
