He made the remark that "anything goes" right now, in reply to asking what's so bad about bisexuality, as if that should be a reason to be prejudice towards them. So it was rather discriminatory.

Why hasn't God destroyed Canada or the Netherlands or Norway or Denmark? And why is it that the worst parts of the US are the Bible Belt?

You sound like Pat Robertson and are clearly clueless. I can't stand ignorant people who constantly throw out Sodom and Gomorrah as an attack on any thing in society they don't like when none of you even understand the freakin story. Inhospitality is the major crime of those cities. Portland isn't being inhospitable.

So folks, my OP was not about Fox News, yet the only argument some of you can come up with is to talk about it.
Nowhere did I defend, or mention Fox News, except later to say they don't profess to be anything other than a right leaning network.

NNG - Obviously our definitions of good and bad morals differ. I believe behaviors that harm the individuals or others involved such as fraud, theft, cronyism or physical harm are immoral. Things that being peace and love, no matter how different from yours or my preferences, are moral. I am not claiming any high ground.

As I said, sexual preference is between the individuals involved and none of our concern. I do not believe in the highly proscribed morality of any of the major religions because they were obviously designed to give men domination over both women and children. I have no desire to dominate or be dominated so I reject the morality of most religions.

If she's a leftist, she's very likely also a criminal no matter what her sexual orientation is.

the morality of most religions, now that's an oxymoron if I've ever heard one. What a person does in their personal life is none of my business. If what they do in their personal life effects their public office and therefore effects me, then yes it is my business.

Actually political corruption is quite rare in Oregon, and the penalties for it in Oregon are rather extreme. We don't take corruption lightly here.

False, but I am sure this is a common thought with typical right wingers.
