GOP Makes One Exception On Gay Marriage

1. Speaking of Cheney, they seem to embrace Mary Cheney's relationship

...and they have very little to say about the Log Cabin Republicans. Hmmm...wonder why that is...:puke::puke:

[doh_phooey]

2. Didn't Mary Cheney support Bush in 2004 and McCain/Palin this year?

Despite her own party's stand on the issue of same-sex marriage, she remains a loyal Republican.

From 2006 I found this:

David Letterman asking Mary Cheney a lot of very tough questions about the contradictions between her own life and her work for the Bush-Cheney campaign.

To my knowledge, no other interviewer has ever questioned Mary Cheney this relentlessly about her work for a flagrantly anti-gay political campaign. I don't know exactly what motivated Letterman to push her so hard -- personal politics, gay friends and relatives, or just a hatred of hypocrisy -- but I'm glad he did it.

3. Who Are The Fascists???? (you gotta be kidding me)

Who are the fascists and who are the persecuted? Wow, has he got it totally backwards!


Gay And Secular Fascism

Nov 17 2008

GINGRICH: Look, I think there is a gay and secular fascism in this country that wants to impose its will on the rest of us, is prepared to use violence, to use harassment. I think it is prepared to use the government if it can get control of it. I think that it is a very dangerous threat to anybody who believes in traditional religion. And I think if you believe in historic Christianity, you have to confront the fact. And, frank -- for that matter, if you believe in the historic version of Islam or the historic version of Judaism, you have to confront the reality that these secular extremists are determined to impose on you acceptance of a series of values that are antithetical, they're the opposite, of what you're taught in Sunday school.

4. Does he even know what Fascism is?

Fascism is government rule by the corporations. Unless I have missed something there are no gay corporations that can influence this government the way Halliburton, Exxon-Mobil and their ilk can.

Newt Gingrich thinks his gay sister is a fascist.

Tuesday, November 18, 2008

Newt Gingrich thinks his gay sister is a fascist. But I'm sure she thinks the same of her brother, and she'd be right.

Here we go again, with Republicans accusing us of being them. I noticed a good ten years ago or so something odd about Republicans. They would do something nasty, and then turn around and accuse Democrats of doing it first - when we were doing nothing of the kind. A reader pointed out to me a while back that this, in poker, is called a "tell." It's like a subconscious tic that gives away what the person is really thinking.

Well, the latest nervous tic to cross our radar is from none other than discredited former conservative Republican leader Newt Gingrich. Newt thinks gay people are fascists and are hell bent on taking over the world. (Methinks Newt still may have some unresolved issues from having a lesbian sister. Lord knows she must have some issues having a neanderthal brother.) Well, Newt now thinks gays are fascists - he used the word - because they are publicly holding rallies to oppose the passage of Prop 8 in California. You'll recall that Prop 8 was the proposition that the Mormons and the religious right used to overturn a civil rights decision of the California Supreme Court, ripping the right of marriage away from gay couples.

Gingrich is actually using a religious right trick, in which they beat up on minorities, and then when the minorities fight back the victims are accused of being "intolerant of intolerance." The Mormons have played this card of late as well, trying to portray themselves as some sot of "victim" of "religious bigotry" after they spent $20 million ripping away the civil rights of gay men and lesbians in California in an effort to jam Mormon values down the throats of Christians, Jews and others.

7. It is more than a "tell". .

It is an inoculation.

If they accuse us of doing something just before, or as they are beginning to do it... our objections sound like "You're a poopyhead". . "No,YOU'RE a poopyhead" to people who are not paying enough attention. This tactic has worked brilliantly for them for years.

8. It's oxymoronic

They argue we are a Christian nation.

Then they say Christians are under attack in this country.
