gays and bikes are related
I'm not claiming "cause & effect," and perhaps some studies are
needed, but gays and bikes are related.... See, there's a couple of places many of you may be familiar with, South Beach (Miami Beach) and Key West, both having a lot of room for gays and bicycles. True, there's a hardly parking lots and distances are short, but the fact remains that you can be a drag queen or peacefully ride your bike. Or you can be a drag queen and ride a bike at the same time. The point is that FREEDOM IS FREEDOM, and that must be understood by the Religious Right who vote against gays, but totally ignore "real and present needs" like having bike facilities. Hey, both places can claim to be Blue Cities (Democratic) as well. So the Dutch Package (weed and prostitution included) stands as an issue for the 2008 presidential elections... http://webspawner.com/users/elections2008 |

It's always like that. And they were quick to secure their "lion's share" from the Indians... "...symbolically speaking, there are legitimate reasons for thinking of them as America's parents: their religiosity, their isolationism, their earnestness and grit. If you're inclined to look at the history of America as one of exploitation, they can be made to fit that too. They started with an honest and thoroughly biblical mission. That their colony would become caught up in massacre and sadness, one could reasonably conclude, underscores the danger of believing that God guides one's hand." http://www.nytimes.com/2006/06/04/bo...=2&oref=slogin And we still living the consequences of ISOLATIONISM, and a religiosity that leads to exploitation and superiority over all other people of the Earth. |

What presidential issue you prefer, bike facilities or gaymarriage?
This is Bush people...
Evangelicals Say They Led Charge For the GOP As the presidential race was heating up in June and July, a pair of leaked documents showed that the Bush-Cheney reelection campaign was urging Christian supporters to turn over their church directories and was seeking to identify "friendly congregations" in battleground states. Those revelations produced a flurry of accusations that the Bush campaign was leading churches to violate laws against partisan activities by tax-exempt organizations, and even some of the White House's closest religious allies said the campaign had gone too far. But the untold story of the 2004 election, according to national religious leaders and grass-roots activists, is that evangelical Christian groups were often more aggressive and sometimes better organized on the ground than the Bush campaign. The White House struggled to stay abreast of the Christian right and consulted with the movement's leaders in weekly conference calls. But in many respects, Christian activists led the charge that GOP operatives followed and capitalized upon. This was particularly true of the same-sex marriage issue. One of the most successful tactics of social conservatives -- the ballot referendums against same-sex marriage in 13 states -- bubbled up from below and initially met resistance from White House aides, Christian leaders said. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...-2004Nov7.html That's why we need the Dutch Package to free up their minds. Perhaps some weed would pacify them... |

Let me recycle this post. It's too good to waste.

What do you THINK he was thinking..? Just like Richard Nixon making all of those tapes. He didn't think he stood a chance of being brought down either. So you are taking upon your shoulder to remove all tyrants that commit crimes against their own people, or just that those who oppose you? Again, you many friends like that, and Hussein himself was you ally against Iran. What did he do wrong? He broke the golden rule the King of the Jungle tolerates... COMPETITION NOT ALLOWED. Invading Iran was OK, but invading Kuwait was not. The invasion had no other justification other than a hungry predator eating the smaller predator under the Law of the Jungle, Not according to all of your dem buddies.... Should I re-post what you've so thoughtfully snipped away....? I know you can't be THAT old, not to remember what I posted just the other day.... You know what they all said. They're no different than Bush. Some of them are the same under a different camouflage. But some really offered a hope, particularly Gore, whose presidency you stole. and was even called such by Iraq and many others. Of course, someone green like Al Gore would never have thought of invading Iraq. His vision didn't call for an unending flow of oil... And just where is that oil today...? It'll fall into the hands of the enemy if people like you have any say about it. And you people have been working full time to see that it does. Yeah... better to fall into the hands of the insurgents than Bush, huhh....??! Better in anyone's hands than in the tanks of the SUVs. They are the ones that terrorize American roads. The Reason America Invaded IraqEasy writes: As previously held notions about our reasons for invading Iraq have crumbled, new justifications for the invasion continually metamorphose. Public opinion about what we are doing there has varied from individual to individual from the start. As we search for new rationalizations to replace the old, I think we will eventually come to find American sentiment settling on a final justification (or possibly only the next justification, but I think it will be the final). I think that Americans will eventual embrace the idea that we invaded Iraq to insure an uninterrupted flow of oil from the middle east to the rest of the world. For some reason, attempts of critics suggesting that oil was the original reason, have been resisted by most of the war hawks, but I think eventually, those hawks and many of the doves will actually come to embrace the idea. http://atheism.about.com/b/2004/01/0...ed-iraq...Hide quoted text - I have but one request..... Prove it. Until you can, you're just a rambling nut-case Bush-hating liberal... Nothing special. Seen 2,912,253 of 'em. Thank God there was 2,912,790 of us.. So you are claiming you didn't invade Iraq for oil. How come you didn't invade, say, Cuba, and took over the sugar cane fields? Hey, why won't you donate the Iraqi oil profits for the environment or even for the children whose Medicare you deny? Then I'd believe you... |
