We don't have too many real republicans, we have religious extremists and theocrats.

They're gay, conservative and proud - Ben Smith - POLITICO.com
He also seems to ignore the fact that most liberals, especially in the US are Christian. Apparently that concept can't penetrate the tin foil hat he seems to be wearing.

It seems like in order for someone to be the president of the United States, you need to be straight, married and Christian, even if it is all BS In some ways, we are like hundreds of years behind others "civilized" countries.
Having a hetereosexual married Christain President is B.S.

Why are you prejudiced against straight, Christian males?

If a female married lesbian ran for president then maybe we would have one. Can't vote for someone that doesn't run.

You're blaming U.S. citizens for not voting for a make-believe candidate. Good for you.

Move to Iceland if it's that's important to you.

Less than 10 years ago people said a black person could never get elected president. Then Obama was elected.

50 years a Catholic couldn't get elected. Then JFK won.

30 years ago a divorced person couldn't get elected. Then Reagan won.

P.S. Not every President of the U.S. has been married.

Why wouldn't you even consider voting for a lesbian?

Christianity will be banned in the US by that time and there will be affirmative action for homosexuals everywhere, including in positions of power.

It's all outlined in the Homosexual Manifesto, which is the outline for the future of America. The one thing holding you back is Freedom of Religion but that will slowly but surely be taken away from Americans. Here is what the third from the last line says.
If this is as accurate as your other predictions (e.g. price of oil, Dow, etc.) then it will never happen.

social conservative=scared...scared of the future and what possibilities exist.. if fear runs your life.. you stop living. Live and let live..

if someone gay runs for president I would hope people would consider their positions and whether they could do the job or not..and I would hope that that person who is gay could be open and honest about it without any discrimination. We will get there... that is all "gay agenda" is after... equal treatment in all areas of society.

Can any "Anti-Everybody Who Isn't Me" righties come up with all those statistics on how Iceland's divorce rate has soared because of the Prime Minister???



How many straight couples turned gay?

How no one in Iceland has gotten married since the Prime Minister destroyed marriage????




C'mon...let's see those stats.....where are they????

You left out the very first line, which explains that this "manifesto" (which I'd never heard of until just now, even though I've been "out" for 25 years) is basically a fantasy, written by an obscure author 25 years ago and promptly lost to history until it was unearthed by paranoid anti-gay activists.

Quote:
This essay is an outré, madness, a tragic, cruel fantasy, an eruption of inner rage, on how the oppressed desperately dream of being the oppressor.

Why did you leave that part out? Why, it's almost as if you have some kind of agenda of your own.
