Politics - What Are Your Thoughts On The Ports Deal?

Desslock, does Bush need to go on a killing rampage at a day-care center before you stop supporting his asinine political agenda? Or would you just find a way to justify that too?

And do you honestly believe that these Muslims will completely abandon their fundamentalist religious beliefs because we invaded them and suddenly embrace liberal attitudes about homosexuality???? HAHAHA. :wacko:

So you do not think that their ideology is a threat to us? They assassinated
Pim Fortuyn on the streets of the Amsterdam. And look at all the embassy burning and riots in the Middle East... it is directed at countries like Denmark and Norway.... countries that pioneered gay rights. [Have you wondered why the Netherlands and Denmark have always participated in the Coalition in Iraq?]

So it is preposterous to draw a line between changing the Middle East and improving rights for gay people there? You laugh off the idea that "muslims will completely abandon their fundamentalist beliefs and embrace liberal attitudes about homosexuality" Well what if those countries institute a democracy that goes so far as Turkey.... which is a democracy and being gay is not criminal. What is so bad about that? Shall we just go "HAHAHAHA" some more if that occured?

Perhaps it's just best to laugh off all ideals, consign gay rights as simply something for me, myself and I, and dive headfirst into the bitter myopia of the bourgeois, decadent lifestyle of living gay in America, where being oh-so-irritated that we cannot marry is for most of us as bad as it gets.

I actually stand corrected...

Bush didnt know about this until the day after it was a done deal LOL

So basically, someone says..

"Mr President, this is a great idea" to which Bush replies, "sure sounds like it".

This whole story is getting stranger and stranger by the day LOL

Regards,

You know what preposterous is? You trying to justify the war in Iraq as a way to advance gay rights in Islamic countries. That's even more fucked up than Bush declaring the reason for the war in Iraq is about freedom and democracy. Oh wait, wasn't it suppose to be about WMDs?

If you have to lie to yourself to cope with this President, that's fine. But don't try to lie to me... because I quit buying the bullshit a long time ago!
