And there is evidence that he committed himself to 2 or 3 different organizations (I don't recall off the top of my head) that are explicit enemies of each other, although all are Islamic extremists, so it's not like he had a coherent view or strong ideological identification with any of them, or he would have understood the differences between the groups.Enough wrote: I also wish they would start calling this more than just radical Islamic terror, but then it's probably too long for a lede to say American homophobe with a history of domestic abuse, who likely found some fertile ground for his homophobia, misogyny and abusiveness in ISIS propaganda, heh.

Re: 50 Reported Dead, 53 Injured In Shooting At Fl. Club
This particular shooting is really hurting me and my wife.
My wife has several really close gay and lesbian friends she has known for 20+ years. On occasion she will go out to clubs and drag shows for fun. I've met all these people and I can tell you these are some of the nicest people I've ever met. Any of them would literally drop whatever they are doing and help my wife with anything she'd need.
To read the hate and accusations against the gay community, particularly after this massacre, is hurtful beyond measure.
I'm not a religious guy and I don't believe in God. However, if there is something out there after this life and punishment is dealt out according to how you've lived now, there are plenty of scum bags getting theirs.

Sorry Xmann. When people in power are willing to make laws about bathrooms just to screw with a person's sense of gender identity, we've got a long way to go towards acceptance. The attack was horrific. The public response has been both glorious on the one hand and ugly on the other.

The "in your face" agenda of the LGBT community/news/gov't/Zuckerberg should probably consider that they may share some blame in this. Constantly bombarding your enemy is bound to upset some of them, particularly a Radical Islamic dude. I'm not saying he doesn't bear 99.99999999% of the blame, but they should just consider how they promote themselves.

Even assigning 0.0000000001% of the blame to the victims is so beyond the pale I don't know what to say.
I spent 90% of the money I made on women, booze, and drugs. The other 10% I just pissed away.

Oh and no, I don't think the LGBT community shares any blame in this and such an opinion is not only asinine but pretty damn inflammatory.

You're absolutely blaming them.

If you don't want to see GLBTs kissing in public, then why attack the "safe" place where they can kiss in private? From the start your whole argument is just plain ignorant, em2. It also brings the homophobia out more clearly.

Re: 50 Reported Dead, 53 Injured In Shooting At Fl. Club
So yesterday brought us Newt Gingrinch wistfully yearning for the return of one of the black marks on our past, restarting the House Un-American Activities Committee (which is at least the most appropriate name for a committee of all-time, considering that I can think of few things that represent a more Un-American Activity than such a committee). That was followed up by some sweet lecturing from Ted Cruz about how liberals should really be defending the LGBT community from anti-LGBT violence (HINT: coincidentally, it turns out that in the eyes of Ted Cruz, he is a champion of protecting this community from violence, because he understands that the countries that are his enemies engage in horrific treatment of the LGBT community).
Which would be a more compelling point if Ted Cruz didn't make it a habit of cozying up to people in this country that yearn to engage in the horrific treatment of the LGBT community. Where was his bravery and courage when he was being introduced to the National Religious Liberties Conference by Pastor Kevin Swanson - WHO HAD LITERALLY JUST GOTTEN DONE EXPLAINING TO THE CROWD THAT THE US SHOULD ENFORCE THE DEATH PENALTY FOR BEING HOMOSEXUAL, AND THAT THROWING THEM OFF OF CLIFFS WOULD MAKE A GOOD START?
Where was your bravery then Ted, when you embraced that despicable piece of shit?
And of course, the NRA blaming Orlando on political correctness and Obama. I mean Jesus H. Christ.

Trivializing any attempt to decry bigotry by denouncing it as "political correctness" is the new rallying cry of the homophobic and racist portion of our country. It's like calling someone a "Red" during the era of McCarthyism.

Kudos. Need more like him who don't need tragedies to change their minds.'s Republican lieutenant governor surprised many with his speech at a vigil for victims of the Orlando shooting on Monday, where he apologized for his previous attitude and actions against LGBT people, KSL.com reported...
..."I grew up in a small town and went to a small rural high school," he said, according to the news site. "There were some kids in my class that were different. Sometimes I wasn’t kind to them. I didn’t know it at the time, but I know now that they were gay. I will forever regret not treating them with the kindness, dignity and respect — the love — that they deserved. For that, I sincerely and humbly apologize."...
..."Over the intervening years, my heart has changed," he said, according to KSL. "It has changed because of you. It has changed because I have gotten to know many of you. You have been patient with me. You helped me learn the right letters of the alphabet in the right order even though you keep adding new ones. You have been kind to me."

I've had at least one gay, and several who are bisexual. I've been to at least one LGBT club, and no not to scope it out as a potential target. I've got no problem with LGBT people personally. It seems like there are two sets of rules in this country now. The left are permitted to say anything they want. The right can't even share an idea that crosses their mind without being labeled a pariah.

Re: 50 Reported Dead, 53 Injured In Shooting At Fl. Club
RE: "In your face agendas", I honestly can't imagine living in a world where I would fear for my safety walking around holding hands with my wife in public. The idea that someone would potentially seek to cause us harm because we're displaying "in your face" heterosexual affection in public is something I can't even conceptualize. It boggles the mind.
Maybe next year, maybe no go

Well, that's not precisely true, but as a rule, the left are allowed to say things they want to say like "everyone deserves the dignity of being who they are without fear of persecution", while the right is occasionally reviled and labeled a pariah because ideas like "these people are an abomination and should be given the death penalty" cross their mind and then escape their stupid lips.em2nought wrote:The left are permitted to say anything they want.

And in banks across the world
Christians, Moslems, Hindus, Jews
And every other race, creed, colour, tint or hue
Get down on their knees and pray
The raccoon and the groundhog neatly
Make up bags of change
But the monkey in the corner
Well he's slowly drifting out of range

I think there's a third rule now too. The right can say any bigoted thing they want just as long as they trivialize the backlash as people being too uptight.em2nought wrote: It seems like there are two sets of rules in this country now.

And did I read you right? Did you seriously just try to justify saying that the gay community should be blaming themselves for this tragedy because they're too "in your face" about their desire to be treated as equals in our society...by stating you may have touched a man's bodily fluids at some point?

Off this goes to R&P since there are few updates and it's mostly R&P now.
Carry on.
