Reply #326: Name-Calling Doesn't Become You... [View All]

... want to try to defend your position again? I'll entertain anything you have to say that's substantive.

But I have to tell ya, pal... your approach of being noble and gentlemanly doesn't work. Never has. Never will. --- Not as far as THIS issue is concerned.

This issue deals with HYPOCRISY and HYPOCRITES. You've tried several times to change the issue and frame it differently... but we still come back to outing a HYPOCRITE.

You'll never win. You can whine and moan about it all you want. You can sit there on your high-horse and scold us for not setting a good example.

But tell me... what has your good-example gotten us? Where are the queer rights advances that can be attributed to allowing HYPOCRITES to set the agenda and destroy our rights, or families?

I'm so glad you noticed that we HAVE been making progress. Thanks for proving my point. It's the BACK-AT-CHA "tactics" that have enabled us to make such strides.

It's Newton's rule that for every action there is an equal and opposite RE-action that has enabled us to stand firm and hold our ground.

The pacifist will always accuse those who stand UP for their rights and who want to FIGHT for their rights as being "Nazi-Like". I guess it all depends on your perspective and spin, right?

The arguments you make are emotional, to be sure... but aside from the emotion you evoke... your arguments are weak. In the real world of politics, your methods have gained NOTHING. NOTHING! In the real world of trying to set a good example for the enemy to follow has resulted in... let's see... uh... NOTHING!!! (Other than the fact it makes it easier for the enemy to run roughshod all over us.)

I'll take my way thank you. Your way has gotten us nowhere.

You're playing a role... and unfortunately you don't realize that the role you're suggesting that I play is the one of SECOND-CLASS CITIZEN.

Nah-gah-dah. Not gonna happen. Not in this lifetime.

Action always wins out over INACTION. You want to be INACTIVE? You want to sit there POLITELY and QUIETLY and DO NOTHING?

FIND! Sit there!

Sit there and roll your eyes and shake your finger and scold-away. Other than making you feel better than the rest of us... what EXACTLY have you accomplished?

See you on the other side of the rainbow!
