Why are you guys giving this loser your time? He's a fake and a troll.

Move on to a thread with substance. Because this one is void of any from these two posters....

My mention of war and welfare were not to suggest they were the domain of the Supreme Court. As I wrote... I was merely trying to define the limits of your "common good". But, nice way to deflect the argument in another direction with a personal attack. How quaint to change the subject.

Wrong. As usual.

The main reason I posted this because I wanted to see what kind of reactions it would get.

If I wanted "affirmation" for being gay, I sure wouldn't look for it here!

Absolutely true. It's classic. It's basically a "sit down and shut up" attitude. It's a passive-aggressive technique that people use all the time in order to be abusive without being overt about it.

You're an interesting character. If I'm a "fake and a troll", then why did you send me a private message this morning asking if I'd like you to pray for me?

(It's true, folks.)

March 28, 2009

Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) has been widely criticized for referring in a recent interview to "that homophobe Antonin Scalia," an injudicious exercise in name-calling that obscures Frank's larger and more valid point: that the opinions of the tart-tongued Supreme Court justice leave little doubt of his utter lack of sympathy for gays and lesbians.

"Homophobia" used to mean "fear of homosexuality," but it's now used to describe any overt hostility toward gays. Scalia's defenders argue that he has never actually denounced homosexuality or expressed such hostility. In fact, in his dissent in a 1996 decision striking down an anti-gay referendum in Colorado, Scalia wrote: "Let me be clear that I have nothing against homosexuals, or any other group, promoting their agenda through normal democratic means." Scalia says he objects to pro-gay-rights decisions for the reasons he rejects Roe vs. Wade: His colleagues are legislating from the bench.

But Frank thinks there is more to Scalia's attitude than pure constitutional scruples. The language of the justice's opinions, he said, "makes it very clear that he's angry, frankly, about the existence of gay people."

Yes. He certainly is a homophobe and rabid Catholic who has spoken at Catholic conferences about the evils of pro-choice and homosexuality.

Yes, it's definitely true folks....with regard to his most recent other whole thread about how he feels so inadequate in life with being surrounded by heteros...I actually was thinking about it and felt a twinge of sorrow, sadness for this dude.

I PM'd him, after I had posted some not so nice comments...I felt I was being too lofty-and here's my exact post in fact with his response. I am not ashamed of it:

It can be a good thing.

I didn't mean to be harsh on you...and I am sorry for what I said if it was hurtful.

I'm not a prayer freak or anything but would you like me to pray for you?

Huh? Are you referring to the comment I made in response to your comment about gays getting an island for themselves? I was just sparring with you. It didn't hurt my feelings. I just thought your comment sounded like something from someone with very outdated thinking about gays.

Mark


After I sent him this, and got his response...minutes later, I then saw his brand new post about Scalia and decided he was just a troll.

He's not on here for anything but to shove his gayness down our throats and now to bash a Supreme Court justice.

Let him and the other dude commiserate by themselves and respond to each others posts while we move on to topics of more interest.

Maybe they should hook up. Seriously, not saying to be sarcastic. But, they could each validate each other since they both feel slighted by society.

LOL. Good try. Please ignore me if you don't like my posts. If you respond, it shows that you're still interested in what I have to say.

May God bless all of you homosexual haters with gay offspring. Before Dick Cheney knew his daughter was gay, he was squarely in your camp. He is now more progressive than our President concerning gay marriage. If his daughter was a victim of lesbian bashing, I think he would reconsider his current opposition to hate crimes legislation. Love can transform the coldest of human hearts. Choose love. Having gay family and friends truly is a blessing from God.
