Alex,

You know...I was going to add you to my do my respond list.

But I'll do better than that.

Rogers....so long......

Syc,

"It's nice that you pretend that because they work in Hollywood that they are liberals"

I didn't say just Hollywood. Anyone who has been discussed in the news.

If you're going to add priests, you will have to mention them by name and proven. That would have to be a rule. You can't just generally assume all priests pester little kids. Sure...consider them conservative but proven.

Get on it....I'd love to see someone work on this all the names who have made the news the last couple of years. Especially since METOO has been in the news.

And then evaluate the things they say or write or support or who they mostly associate and consider them simply left or right.

That would be interesting to see.

And don't include he said, she said nonsense. Proven unwanted pestering and/or abuse of power to gain sexual favors.

Tony,

No...this is not the way conservatives and the "GOP" regard women for the most part. There's always specific men who have problems respecting women.

My point was that the majority of the accused we have heard about the last couple of years have been left leaning individuals but not necessarily politically active but leaning to the left all the same.

It would be interesting to create a through list of all names we have heard where some touching occurred or unwanted sexual advances that have been proven.

Come on...let's get real.

This isn't a "GOP" problem.

Just look at the parade of liberals out of Hollywood accused of sexual misdeeds.

What a load of crap saying this is how the GOP looks at women.

Laura,

As far as being "banned", I said at this point I have no real opinion what should be done.

The problem is gays aren't appearing to be offering workable solutions. The only thing they keep doing is hammering at straights telling them it's "ok" and trying to reprogram society and refusing to acknowledge the opinions of straights when they say "it's not ok".

From what I keep reading, people like you are demanding "it's all or nothing".

Well....you may reap what you sow.

Just sayin'

Laura,

Frankly....the way you write doesn't sound like someone very proud of anything.

Who are you trying to kid with your bold letters and excessive punctuation?

Laura,

Sounds like you're suggesting all gays should be out.

I have always found that idea abhorrent and one of the misgivings of the more radical gays.

I never said they "should" quietly blend in but that many have and I can well imagine might prefer to live without bringing a lot of undo attention upon themselves.

You seem to have a narrow minded over-simplistic view of the situation.

Sent,

I thought it funny.

Sent,

You just did.

Hel,

I've always suspected and can't actually prove it, but believe it anyway, a large percentage of people who call themselves transgender, change gender intermittently.

They use the woman's bathroom at some places and the men's bathroom at others.

I don't see how we're supposed to take that seriously.

People who are sincere and committed have my support.

But...like I said they may end up paying the price for making this into a political wedge.

If threat of a crime is the sole rationale for laws and policies, why are people not allowed to walk around naked in public.

I mean...if people were all naked it wouldn't necessarily lead to more sex crimes.

No...its just societal norms and expectations. Women and mothers who are more modest need their own space. Women and men think and feel differently and male standards of modesty should not be forced onto women.

I'm not suggesting all transgenders should be banned (or maybe I am...I haven't decided). Regardless, laws that block law enforcement from looking out for women are unacceptable.

I've always said genuine transgendered people who have quietly blended in for decades may rue the day gay activists decided to make this political.

Nothing comes for free. Increased wages will be felt somewhere.

Yeah...so long as we're willing to pay higher prices.

Indiana,

I was waiting for someone to say that.

Too easy.

Your posts are mostly one line zingers.

Boring.

Dirk,

Conservatives have been supporting Israel for the most part.

I don't really buy the whole antisemitism thing.

Personally I think it's just a liberal wet dream.

Under any political umbrella there's always strange fringe groups out there getting attention.

Both republicans and democrats have that problem.

I really don't know a lot about how true it is that antisemitism is on the rise or even getting more of a voice, but they are getting more attention.

Liberals are seeing to that.

Personally, I doubt most conservatives are interesting in hearing what anti-semites are saying.

If there is a new wave, it's being promoted by liberals, not conservatives.

Dan,

Refer to 64.

Ask any one of those parents I'm referring.

Angry,

No...I don't watch TV evangelists.

Alex,

That's it?

You disagree with my opinion so you insult me.

You need a couple of reality checks.

Most normal parents are very particular what strangers hold their children.

And...yes...drag queens for the most are sexually promiscuous.

Snark

Dan,

"More importantly, what affliction do you believe is being passed?"

Cooties.

Alex,

Do you see me defending them?

And now we have parents allowing their children to be held by people who most likely have had sex with hundreds upon hundreds of other people.

Personally I wouldn't want them holding my baby.

But that's just me.

It could be the "reaction formation" Mad was talking about but I don't think so. I know the score.

Hans,

I would have to say civilization is being pushed to the extreme regardless if this is the end of days.

Religions that have existed out of each others way are finding themselves clashing.

Economic inequality is beginning to take its toll. Countries are abusing debt to compensate for a lack of an equitable distribution of income.

Political discourse is breaking down with no signs of any willingness to find common ground.

Humans are abusing more and more drugs and alcohol to cope with their problems and only increasing the last several decades.

The planet itself is even beginning to show signs of being overwhelmed by an excessive population.

Frankly it's not looking good.

Laura,

No baby...its just you.

You make me feel all jelly.

Snark.
