Glenn--I love you man.
[Read the article: Forcing Larry Craig's resignation while embracing David Vitter]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]But I ain't gay.
I just really appreciate that you kept chewing this leg tenaciously...not letting go.
It always stuck me as completely un-American, radical and subversive to oppose gay marriage, after all, if marriage is a good thing (about the only "traditional" aspect left in out culture) then how can marriage between two homos be bad? That presumption, by the right, stikes me as patently absurd and illegal (violates equal protection).
That Democrats have been so mealy and wishy washy on this tells me how far they have fallen into the TV trap--trying to be popular vs. trying to make sense.
Really, being gay or not is so much less important than just about anything, yet the so-called "morals candidates" whine and strain themselves to the point of hysterics over it.
You are like the wolf crying in the night. The rest of the "media," like what is that? You rule dude. Thanks for pointing out the difference between gayness and morality--these two things have very little to do with each other. Also, in my not-too-narrow experience, people who talk about other people's morality are usually projecting--i.e. they don't have any of their own so they have to point out faults in others. Larry Craig is just the latest in a long-string of GOP poster bitches--get summa dat photoshop and put his wide-ass-stance in a grass skirt...

spewter's projection
[Read the article: Forcing Larry Craig's resignation while embracing David Vitter]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]sound's to me like you speak from experience, Mr. Spewter.
Did you miss your weekely dungeon session, or what?

Ok, I'll bite...
[Read the article: In defense of Larry Craig]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Your premise that he has been purged because of hmophobic prudery I find lame. He was purged from the "morals" party because he did something which he and his party says is morally depraved. He deserves to be purged from the Senate because of blatant hypocracy and an incredible lack of judgement. The party of hypocracy actually lacks morals of any legitimate nature, so they have to grab at straws to convice others/voters how noble they are.
Good riddance. He had failed as a representative to Idaho a long time ago. If you need another reason how about Leviticus 20:13?:
If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood to be spilled upon the ground.
Is that biblical, or what?

Fools! Bush IS Bin Laden
[Read the article: Losing bin Laden]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Go read the text of Bin Laden's letter to America. About 2/3 of the way thru he gets to the bit about wanting to destroy the USA by precipitating a US invasion of a Middle-East Islamic country, bleeding our blood & treasure, and inflaming world-wide opinion against America and for terrorism.
So what part of that scrip hasn't Bush followed? Terrorism, like regieme change, begins at home. Take a good look in the mirror.

Hate America! Hate America!
[Read the article: Thompson proposes a new gay marriage amendment]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Just like Osama and Bush, he hates the rule of law, especially as embodied in the Bill of Rights. In order to get elected, this twerp would gladly swallow the sticky-white-stuff of the religious right nut-jobs.
Religious war forever! As if the 100 years was wasn't enough.

@ da Suga Man
[Read the article: Thompson proposes a new gay marriage amendment]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I think you are onto sumptin with dat stremo-conscious thing...it's kinda raw and exposes the subconscious pretty clearly...sorta like doc-in-a-box but with a head-shrink and some sodium pentathal.
Now--that would be sumptin to tune into, methinks. All 8 or 20 or 40 of those bastards, but individually in booths, like hollywood squared. The clinician administers the Sodium Pentathal and leaves, and the "can-di-date" gets to answer some scripted questions....while people on the Internet get to vote on....(darkness censored).
How did I do?

the new litmus test
[Read the article: Dianne Feinstein, symbol of the worthless Beltway Democrat]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]First off--thanks Glenn. You hit the nail on the head, again. I've been feeling this way about the Dumocrats for a long, long time (the early 80s), and to finally see you connect all the dots in some form of coherent track-record I found to be quite enlightening.
Second, I say it's time for a new litmus test. Forget the Elephant or the Donkey, we need something new--a 20-point question to expose the scum-sucking corporatist, regardless of affiliation. The whole idea of corporations having so much power is terrifying. If you look at it from a Constitutional point of view--corporations were not even supposed to be legal entities beyond seven years. Clearly, we need a mechanism to allow big corporations to remain healthy, but vastly more importantly we need a constitutional framework which ensures the role/governance of the corporation is subordinate to the Constitution, Laws, Congress and Public Institutions of this Nation. The "military/industrial complex" that Eisenhower warned of has long ago come to pass.
What you expose here is not so much DiFi as a bad Democrat, but DiFi with a corporatist agenda and beltway network which clearly overrides other agendas or affiliations she may have. When we take the long view, as you do so succinctly, that is the obvious conclusion, in my opinion.
Cheers, and thanks again!

perpetual war--get used to it
[Read the article: Columbia to be punished for hosting the new Hitler enemy]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]The Corporatist like it--they can ignore all sorts of issues like:
a) The Environment
b) Social (as opposed to fiscal) responsibility
c) and the best part: The Law/US Constitution, which is "quaint" (i.e. written well before the age of Corporate Scumbagism).
They can use tools/punks like this Pelley idiot and everyone just smiles and goes back to work.
I'm so very glad I don't watch television.
P.S. Debbie, are you married, or what?

~~~~ what a crack-up
[Read the article: Columbia to be punished for hosting the new Hitler enemy]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]David Duke at Columbia? That would be hysterical. I couldn't wait to see that on YTube.
That idea is almost as preposterous as you.
