Special Senate Election

poorly worded at best.

I wonder what the response would be if the appointee was called anti-muslim? Would the same, it's OK atmosphere prevail on the forum and in DC?
After all it only matters to a few.......

I have no idea why I'm still arguing this, other than an inability to sleep 

Jmac just hates White People.

Would you stop being such a woman strato? I haven't changed anything I am saying.

Here read it again reworded the way it should have been read I just didn't reword it from the quote the first time. K?

We are not a Catholic society. Why does it matter if he is homosexual?

Oh jeez did I take out anti and replace it with n't. I think I did and I still have a quoted source that I am making an observation on.


EDIT: Yes you should have been able to figure it out. Because it was obviously the crazy Catholic guy I quoted who called him anti-Catholic I just restated.

No wonder she is your ex if your going to complain and argue about saying one word wrong.

Race, Gender issues, political views, and religion are the primary reason America is as it is. To be in a 'protected' class within these areas means the culture must respect your views, opinions, or lifestyle. To be in a non 'protected' class means you are allowed to be targeted with little or no consequence.

A power from the left can make a statement as Senator Ried, or Chuck Shumer and the stewardess (the 'B' word for all who do not remmember), did and no reprocussions only forgiveness, why is the same 'courtesy' not offered to a member of the right for a slip of the tongue. The highlight of the Brown attacks is the Cosmo issue, yet Robert Byrd was in the Klan and a racist to the core, yet that issue must be foregiven and forgotten. Religion now is in the same mindset, to be anti-catholic, or anti- Isreal is now all the rage, but if the statement Anti-Islamic is made it is then a rush to racism and bigotry claims against the speaker. Lifestyle also has it issues, I do not care what you do and how you do it, just stop playing a band and expecting 'special' treatment because of it. A 'Gay Rights" parade is seen as trendy, but heaven forbid if the straight community attempted the same recognition, again the claims of bigotry would rise.

The prejudice shown here is clear to those who actually understand what prejudice is. It is fun to make fun of myself, FE, and whoever expounds ideas and ideals that differ, and then you call your self witty and are self forgiving. Yet if the right leaning here attempt (as few times that it has arisen) to debate an issue with views counter to Mr. Witty, he/she immediately calls the attack an unfair exercise, and the attack the messanger defense begins.

The Political Compase was very informative, youth tends to be in the negative ranges on both accounts, yet the older tend towards the positive numbers. I am close to Margeret Thatcher, positive in both catagories, based on expieriences, not perceptions.

Yes, a religious organization will question a 'non' believer or anti- individual for an appointment, just as a Gay will question if a anti-gay person is appointed. Why the surprise? The media in the story just threw the 'protected' class card and again the persecutuion of Judeo-Christian beliefs are fairgame in the battle of ideas. But yet try and do the same to a 'protected' class and watch the uproar.

The 1st Amendment is a double edged sword, and there are those on both sides that try and dull the edge facing them, while sharpening the side toward those whose ideas do not conform to thiers.

The highlight of the Brown attacks is the Cosmo issue Jokingly by most. In fact I really only saw it on The Daily Show, yet Robert Byrd was in the Klan and a racist to the core, yet that issue must be foregiven and forgotten. Religion now is in the same mindset, to be anti-catholic Noone is anti-catholic. I am not anti-Catholic. I am anti-religion. That is all religion. Even then it isn't really something that I would fight against, just something I don't like., or anti- Isreal is now all the rage, but if the statement Anti-Islamic is made it is then a rush to racism and bigotry claims against the speaker. Lifestyle also has it issues, I do not care what you do and how you do it, just stop playing a band and expecting 'special' treatment because of it. Wanting to have the same rights is special treatment now? In the example of Kevin Jennings, he is getting called out on his appointment due to his sexual preference. In the article I was reading of course. A 'Gay Rights" parade is seen as trendy, but heaven forbid if the straight community attempted the same recognition Why would the "Straight community" need a parade? There are no rights a straight person has to fight for., again the claims of bigotry would rise. myself, FE, and whoever expounds ideas and ideals that differ, and then you call your self witty and are self forgiving.

Yes, a religious organization will question a 'non' believer or anti- individual for an appointment Why? What he was appointed to has NOTHING to do with religion., just as a Gay will question if a anti-gay person is appointed. Not if the Anti is a made up part because they have shown nothing actually against it. Why the surprise?

mack's a leftie...
