Well, I was reading that article (also, this just in: fire is hot, water is wet, and the sky is blue) and it said "The lawmaker, who is gay..." I was like wtf, how did I not already know that?

Yeah, kinda similar to whenever a black politician goes off on a rant about how such-and-such is racist - even if what they say is true, it just doesn't help anything to be bringing it up like that. His comment isn't going to do anything besides provoke random arguments. Did we really need him to tell us that anyway?

Actually, I think Barney Frank is wholly appropriate for calling Scalia a homophobe. It's a fully accurate term in my opinion. However, I just intensely dislike Barney Frank for reasons having to do with my car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank said, in so many words, that his legal rulings are based on his personal opinions of/biases towards gays and less on actual legal interpretation. This is the way I see it, that my own personal views on gays should be irrelevant because the fact that the government shouldn't be approving of certain lifestyles in the first place (more specifically, ones that don't hurt anyone) overrides them. As an elected official/judge, I could privately be the biggest homophobe around, but it wouldn't matter, because I'm not in a position where I should be affecting anything, or legislating morality. Personally, I am indifferent to homosexuality in the same way that I'm indifferent to someone having Japanese parents, but like I said, this is irrelevant. However, none of this has anything to do with the fact that Frank is a horrible, horrible politician. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HuskyCaucasian Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 And here I thought Obama was the one weak on terror, i guess the GOp just doesnt want to make time for it anymore... Senate Republicans Skip White House Afghan Briefing Senate Republican Leaders Mitch McConnell (Ky.) and Jon Kyl (Ariz.) declined the president's invitation to be briefed Thursday on Afghanistan war policy going forward. McConnell spokesman Don Stewart said that the invitation came yesterday and that the leadership already had a meeting scheduled with more than a dozen Republican senators. It was too difficult to rearrange all those schedules, he said. The decision came as reports emerged of Obama's plans to dispatch 4,000 additional soldiers and hundreds of civilian advisers to Afghanistan this spring and summer, along with increasing aid to neighboring Pakistan. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), Sen. Charles Schumer (D-Ill.) and Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.) represented Senate Democratic leadership. House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio), Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-Va.) and Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind.) were also present, as were House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) and Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-S.C.). "This was nothing more than a snub -- pure and simple," said a senior Senate Democratic aide. awww... I'm sorry. Here I thought national security was far more important that partisan politics.

More of the article...you know, just to be thorough, I know you wouldn't ever purposefully leave anything out. Just trying to help. McConnell spokesman Don Stewart said that the invitation came yesterday and that the leadership already had a meeting scheduled with more than a dozen Republican senators. It was too difficult to rearrange all those schedules, he said. In general, he said, McConnell has attended a number of briefings at the White House and will continue to do so. A White House aide said that Kyl and McConnell would be invited to a future briefing on Afghan strategy. Stewart emails over more information. Though McConnell missed the White House meeting, he did attend an Afghanistan briefing in the Capitol this afternoon with Amb. Holbrook here in the Capitol. "Also," Stewart writes, "I just found out that Sen. McConnell, in cooperation with Sen. Reid, asked the White House to sked the meeting next week. But late yesterday afternoon, we got a call saying it would be this afternoon. Since he was unable to make the time at the White House, he went to the briefing here at the Capitol." To be fair, the last paragraph there was added after the original post. Edited March 27, 2009 by ChiSox_Sonix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HuskyCaucasian Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 (edited) Viva La Revolucion! Rep. Bachmann calls for a revolution to overthrow Obama's "Maxism". This past Wednesday, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) appeared on Sean Hannity's radio show, and sharply reiterated her calls for revolution in America, warning against the imminent dangers of tyranny under Barack Obama: "We are headed down the lane of economic Marxism," said Bachmann. "More quickly, Sean, than anyone could have possibly imagined. It's difficult for us to even keep up with it day to day." And then came this: At this point the American people - it's like Thomas Jefferson said, a revolution every now and then is a good thing. We are at the point, Sean, of revolution. And by that, what I mean, an orderly revolution -- where the people of this country wake up get up and make a decision that this is not going to happen on their watch. It won't be our children and grandchildren that are in debt. It is we who are in debt, we who will be bankrupting this country, inside of ten years, if we don't get a grip. And we can't let the Democrats achieve their ends any longer. Wait, didnt she call out Obama for "anti-american" behavior? EDIT: so, she's calling for an "orderly revolution". Wasnt that what happend in November? We threw out a great majority of the GOP after they ran the country into the ground. Unfortunately the people of Minnesota weren't smart enough to throw Michele Bachmann out too. Edited March 27, 2009 by Athomeboy_2000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
