Hate is such a strong word..

[one_voice]

but I can't think of any other to describe how I feel about this ignorant homophobic bigot. :grr: :banghead:

I'm so disgusted that segments of our population are still being treated as less human, not worthy of the same rights as others. Where's all the meme about God given rights in these situations? The pure arrogance and ignorance and hypocrisy knows no bounds.


Pawlenty: Gays Shouldn’t Have The Power To Decide What To Do With The Body Of A Deceased Partner

If you’re straight and your husband or wife dies, you have the power to decide what to do with your loved one’s body and how to carry out their wishes. However, if you are a gay man or woman in Minnesota — a state that doesn’t recognize marriage equality — you won’t have that option, thanks to Gov. Tim Pawlenty (R). Explaining his veto of the bill, Pawlenty simply said there “is no actual need” to give same-sex couples equal end-of-life rights. From his official statement on Saturday:

The bill addresses the categories of individuals who under the law shall be given priority for purposes of determining the disposition of the remains of a deceased person. Currently a person can, by executing a will, designate who shall be empowered to control final disposition of his or her remains. The bill therefore addresses a nonexistent problem.

Marriage — defined as between a man and a woman — should remain elevated in our society a special level, as it traditionally has been. I oppose efforts to treat domestic relationships as the equivalent of traditional marriage. Accordingly, I am opposed to this bill.

1. The people who are against 'Hate Crimes' are the same people committing them...

[dchill]

2. And therefore, do not see them as crimes.

Or even misdemeanors. They do not even understand morality.

[AnArmyVeteran]

7. That's absolutely true!

[AnArmyVeteran]

8. But if they were on the list of victims, they would be in favor of hate crimes against THEM.

[dchill]

10. Indeed, just as Bobby Jindal NOW...

wants big government stimulus funds for his state! There are no conservatives - only selfish one-way socialists. There's a name for that, too.

[AnArmyVeteran]

11. I can think of a lot of 1-word names to call conservatives, but 'Assholes' seems to be the best...

I like the way you said "One way socialists"! That is perfect. I'm going to remember that one!

I wish I was a cartoonist. I would draw a picture of Limlblah with oil-like derricks coming out of both his mouth and his ass with a punch line saying the US could be energy independent if we were able to tap into the unlimited methane spewing out of both ends of Rush-the-Limblahhh. He says he has a gift from 'god' during his shows, but he's really the recipient of a gift from 'fraud'.

3. I hope there is a hell, because there is a long list of people on that list. Yeah,

land of the free, equal rights, equal opportunity, what an absolute load of unmitigated bullshit. Even women are still fighting for equal rights. Much of this countries history has been about denying rights to people. So F'en hypocritical.

4. Hating Pawlenty does not hurt him one bit, but it does you.

In fact he might see hate from someone like you as a badge of honor. So hating him is truly a waste.

5. I did not think that my opinion of Pawlenty could get any lower,

But it just did. He ia truly a vile, thin skinned, vindictive, arrogant little worm of a man.

6. He's trying really hard to suck up to the fundies

Clueless asshole doesn't realize that Caribou Barbie and Hucksterbee have them all sewn up.

9. methinks he doth protest too much . . .

ya know?
