Gay haters and the like have been beguiled by organized religion.
I used to be one of your kind. I too fell into the group of being someone that was self elevated and bigoted. In time I became educated to the reality of what it means to be gay.

I watched someone dear to me deal with the fact they were gay. They lived in the heart of a racist and bigoted land. You know I am speaking of Utah when I say this.

From an early age, this boy knew he was attracted to people of the same sex. He listened to his father and stepmother make jokes with his friends about all of those "gay bastards."

He decided he was going to make himself not gay. He tried everything he could think of to entice himself with things from the opposite sex. Relentlessly for two years he pursued this endeavor with no avail.

He sought out advice from counselors and numerous friends as to what he should and could do. He found nothing that could resolve his issue of being gay. He chose not to be gay but it wouldn't go away.

Facing great fear of condemnation and bodily harm from the Mormon masses and others he often contemplated suicide. For a period of about two years he toiled with the battle of whether or not he was worthy of living or if he should end it all by killing himself.

Having observed his intense struggle, I came to the conclusion that being gay was not his choice, but rather being something he was born with. Since this observation I have become an advocate for gay rights.

Hopefully you will witness someone near and dear to you go through this same struggle. I do not mean that I wish this experience on anyone that is gay.

However, if you are fortunate enough to have someone you care about that is gay, you will come to understand as I have. It will literally change your life and perspective if you have any dignity what so ever as you watch them try to deal with it.

Being gay is not a choice!

Is this really the cross they must bear? The things written in the bible as to this subject were written by people such as you. They neither could understand it nor could they accept it. Thus they invoked God and condemned it. Since, how many have been tortured by the likes of you?Gay haters and the like have been beguiled by organized religion. I used to be one of... more

I am ashamed of America

The national ballot results are in, and let me tell you--I am disgusted and ashamed of my fellow "Americans". Ballot measure after ballot measure, bigotry won by a narrow margin.

How dare anyone who voted against same-sex marriage call themselves Americans? Or those voting to keep same-sex couples from adopting children? How DARE you?

How dare you burn our Constitution and Bill of Rights, how dare you toss aside everything this country is supposed to stand for? Whatever happened to equality under the law? What deranged, hateful idea got into your heads that you had the right to control the personal relationships of others? Whether it be in the name of God, family, or tradition, the real reason was hate.

America is not a free country, it seems, and only half the country desires it to be free. The rest of you, it seems, would prefer an ultra-right wing country where "freedom" is only allowed for the Christian, conservative, traditional minority.

If marriage is not a right guaranteed to all consensual adults, who are engaged in legal relationships (remember, folks, homosexual relationships ARE legal!), then it is not a right for you, either. Supporters of the bans against gay marriage, I'm sure you would gladly give up your 'privelege' to be married, then? Until you've earned it as a group?

You bigoted, hateful people amaze me...

Do any of you faux Americans understand the company you keep, and the damage you have done?

Many of you whined and said that you weren't against gays, but you were for children and families. You used children for your hateful, bigoted politics. Any idea who else did this?

That's right, Adolf Hitler.

Adolf Hitler, too, claimed to want to "defend" marriage. He himself used children for his own political gains, and perhaps that's where the campaigners for these freedom-killing measures got their strategy: you can convince a population of anything, he said, by doing it in the name of the children. He brainwashed children into singing for his cause (sound familiar?) and used the cause of children and family as a cover for his policies.

Hitler, too, hated gays, though he took it a step further and killed thousands of them because they didn't fit into his narrow worldview. It was done in the name of family, children, and traditional "morals".

When 52% of the people get to tell the rest how to live their lives, you know freedom is dead. I only hope that someday, 52% of the people strip you of your rights to be married. You deserve it.

I truly hope there is a hell sometimes. The national ballot results are in, and let me tell you--I am disgusted and ashamed of... more

Eating Their Own

First I must say; Former Secretary of State Colin Powell is one class act.
I have always admired him as an outstanding American and political leader. When he finally sided with Bush on the Iraq war I was greatly disappointed. His shine and luster for me took a nose dive. As time passed, it seemed he became aware of how he had been duped. George Bush, Karl Rove, Dick Cheney, and the rest of their Gestapo cronies were literally causing a form of metastasizing of the Constitution and our great nation. At that point he decided to step down as his integrity finally got the best of him. I hated to see him go; however, I felt extreme admiration for Colin when he could no longer align or associate himself with the Bush Regime.

As many of you probably know by now, Colin Powell has finally decided to endorse Barack Obama. The following link is of his endorsement and his reasoning as to why he chose him.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_NMZv6Vfh8

He has taken a fair length of time to do his vetting on both candidates. In spite of his lengthy, 20+ year friendship and association with John McCain, Colin Powell has opted to side with Barack Obama and endorse him to be the most promising candidate for President of the United States. This literally speaks volumes and as a nation the choice should now be clear. Colin Powell has a tremendous list of credentials backing him with regards to his service for the United States. For a quick reference to his credentials, follow this link:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colin_Powell.

The SS FAUX NEWS (Fox News) and Rush "Pumpkin Head" Limbaugh otherwise known as the God Owful Party’s (GOP) propaganda machines are already gearing up for the smearing and malignment of Colin Powell’s character and reputation.
Rush: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFcEWgeixco
Fox: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YHkCZ4VigNA

Talk about eating their own. The Republican Party will soon unleash an ongoing feast upon the flesh and bones of Colin Powell. Stay tuned. Let the republican show begin.

McCain Campaign Rethinking Playing The Rev. Wright Card

John McCain's campaign manager says he is reconsidering using Barack Obama's relationship with Reverend Jeremiah Wright as a campaign issue during the election's closing weeks.

In an appearance on conservative Hugh Hewitt's radio program, Davis said that circumstances had changed since John McCain initially and unilaterally took Obama's former pastor off the table. The Arizona Republican, Davis argued, had been jilted by the remarks of Rep. John Lewis, who compared recent GOP crowds to segregationist George Wallace's rallies. And, as such, the campaign was going to "rethink" what was in and out of political bounds.

"Look, John McCain has told us a long time ago before this campaign ever got started, back in May, I think, that from his perspective, he was not going to have his campaign actively involved in using Jeremiah Wright as a wedge in this campaign," he said late last week. "Now since then, I must say, when Congressman Lewis calls John McCain and Sarah Palin and his entire group of supporters, fifty million people strong around this country, that we're all racists and we should be compared to George Wallace and the kind of horrible segregation and evil and horrible politics that was played at that time, you know, that you've got to rethink all these things. And so I think we're in the process of looking at how we're going to close this campaign. We've got 19 days, and we're taking serious all these issues."

McCain has reportedly avoided discussion of Wright because of its racial implications. Apparently, since he already stands accused of stoking crowd anger akin to the South in the 1960s, his campaign just might be willing to walk down that slippery slope and risk justifying Lewis' proclamation.

Even before Davis took to the Hugh Hewitt Show, it was clear that members of McCain's inner circle were pining for him to use some of Wright's more inflammatory quotes to hammer away at Obama. Vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin told New York Times columnist Bill Kristol that she didn't know "why that association isn't discussed more, because those were appalling things that that pastor had said."

Certainly there are Democrats operatives who have long anticipated the Wright card being played and are shocked, to a certain extent, that McCain has avoided the topic. One high-ranking strategist told the Huffington Post that he thought the Republican ticket could have gained far more traction by going after Obama's pastor "as opposed to some neighborhood association" -- referencing former Weather Underground member Bill Ayers. McCain, he added, didn't have to even do it himself. He could pass the task over to a 527 organization or outside group. But with the money woes facing the Republican Party, the fundraising and infrastructure for such an effort has not been built. The decision to bring up Wright is left firmly in McCain's hands.John McCain's campaign manager says he is reconsidering using Barack Obama's... more

Why is God so weak and feeble?

Why is God so weak and feeble? I wish he were more capable of doing his will and the things that he deems necessary. I fear for him and his ability to withstand all that is not done and the repercussions of the same. Heaven literally quakes when mankind cannot fulfill God’s needs and wants as designed. I am so glad that we have all of the Bible thumpers, religious zealots, and last but not least “God’s warriors” that can dredge out of the bible, the Quran, and most if not all other like minded books what God’s will truly is for the rest of us. Oh if God were just more capable and powerful!

I do often wonder, what if by some chance it were more simple perhaps as simple as God putting us here to see what we will do with our free agency. Maybe his true desire is to see if we can ever figure out that he loves us all and wants us to all just get along and treat each other with love, respect, charity, compassion, and dignity in spite of our race, creed, color, geographical location or sexual preference. I can’t believe that he has ever caused anyone to die by his hand, not now, not ever! Natural disasters happen; they are not an act of God; we live in a hostile environment. People die all the time because bad things happen. It is not because he needs them more in heaven and can’t do with out them, or that it was necessarily their time to go. Sorry, I know that “belief” is comforting! Things just happen; often we are given promptings or impressions as to better choices which often go un-heeded. Thus we pay or suffer the consequences of our choices. Such has been my experience.

The curse of mankind is that there is always someone that wants to stand up and tell the rest of us what God’s will or plan is; they proceed to take his sheep, “literally,” to fulfill this will, “God’s will.” Unfortunately for so many, this journey often leaves a bloody trail of bodies strewn along the way of any who stood in their path; one needs only to review any period of history to see this. Of course this is always done in the name of God as if he were impaled upon their backs, clinging on for dear life hoping and praying man can pull it off since he is incapable of doing it for himself. In time, we find that it was just another man or woman’s agenda being fulfilled at the expense of the misfortune of others. Think about it! Seriously, is God that lame, vindictive or murderous? Probably not! Just us…, you know the ones that have differing preferences, agendas, jealousies, envies, and intolerance to others that are different to the point of hatred. In turn this inspires their destruction by what ever means is necessary cloaked in what we call God’s wrath! Well carry on… For the impatient I am sorry for the length. No, not really.
