And.....?

Thank God he's not a white conservative openly gay person. He'd be pilloried by the left. Just like Black conservatives are.

Politics?

It's interesting what passes for politics to USMBers.

*Note to self: Suggest a 'who gives a crap' forum.*

Hush gurl.. they're trying to prove "tolerance" and "diversity".

 

[Jarhead]

Why is his sexual persuasion news?
Like I really give a crap?

And besides....

All women are bisexual.

And to me? Thats just down right cool.

Hush gurl.. they're trying to prove "tolerance" and "diversity".

I'm kind of worried about anyone who feels the need to 'prove'. We should be seeing beyond gay, straight, black, white.... blah blah blah by now.

I find it sad.... and a tad condescending. It's like the WH is saying 'Look, we got a token gay person. How cool are we?' It's like assuming blacks like rap and other such prejudices.... if we have to make a point to say we're tolerant... we ain't tolerant.

Well...in all fairness...

Us guys realize not all of you are aware of it.

That is why we continually harp on the old "three way" thing till you finally cave in.

I'm glad Dante finally got a decent job...

Congrats....

Yep, just like that.

You know...during the campaign, I had a great line I used on people....

I am a well known conservative with the people I know...

Yet for some reason, when many would ask me who I was voting for and I would say "I am not thrilled with either candidate but my values are closer to McCain so McCain by default", they would respond with...

"why, you cant vote for a black guy"?

My response?

"His race is not the reason I am not voting for him....but it is quite obvious it is the reason you ARE voting for him."

[WillowTree]

I had a similar response when I said I wasn't voting for Obama. I said 'voting FOR Obama BECAUSE he is black is the same as NOT voting for him BECAUSE he is black.'

On the other hand, I didn't vote for McCain.

Louie, i.e Louis Farrahkan of the Nation of Islam.....Psycho Wright's "idol"....according to "Goddamn America" Wright himself.

Is he the same as USMB's Jeremy?
