General, Sir
Perhaps you could help me understand the situation. As I read it, a gay man is born again, becomes straight, gets married to a woman, becomes a minister and opens a clinic for legalized sadistic child abuse. Did I understand that correctly, Sir?
In order to get away with abuses just short of murder, one only has to become a Jeebus freak and a minister? I'm in awe.
As both the junior WhattheH's attended a school for the Arts, I've met a lot of gay young people, and they are all delightful, talented youngsters. One or two have problems at home but most have loving supportive families. Every last one of these kids are in College or University, fine upstanding citizens, and I'm proud to know them. Bah, sir, the french side of my nature took over. I'll withdraw to self discipline.

Okay, okay, let's not go off half cocked without getting both sides of the story. Here's a quote from Fred:

We asked Phelps, "Do you preach hate?"

"Not in the perjorative sense I don't," said Phelps. "The truth of the matter is I'm the only one who loves these fags."

So there you have it. Fred only hates in the good sense of the word, and he loves fags. The child abuse stuff is only Fred hating in the good sense of the word...he loves those kids.

Permission to discipline Mr. Phelps, sir?

OT, but the perfect coda for some of the horror that's been going on lately:

Betty Friedan died yesterday, on her 85th birthday. I of course blame Bush, choosing to believe his latest Supreme Court appointments were finally just too much for her poor old heart and it gave out. May the grand lady have a fortunate rebirth, or rest in peace, whichever comes first.

Sadly, another icon has gone. And we are left with Pam, Michelle, Anne, Phyllis and others of their ilk.
MzNicky, I don't have a hangover - yet, but I'm working on it.

OT again, but for those interested, Bad Astronomy has a good article about the suppression of NASA scientists by a 24 year old Bush appointee with a degree in journalism. One more thing that gets the outrage meter up, and contributes to my hangover intention.

Permission to post OT General, Sir?

DKos has a delightful piece today by DarkSyde on Carl Baugh, a young earth creationist.

Link: http://www.dailykos.com/story/20...2/5/12324/ 99485

Many of the Generals troops should find this inspirational. Baugh is something of a visionary and I recommend this to anyone interested in the field of "science".

This is not off-topic at all.

Speaking of "Love in Action," I cannot think of a phrase more appropriate to describe our vice-leader, Herr Cheney.

There is a poll at an Alabama newspaper, and unfortunately some French have been posting their ratings.

Everyone *please* visit the poll and give the Dick the rating he truly deserves!!!

A Song for Love in Action

I only hate in the good sense
I only rape in the present tense
I only kill cause of happenstance
Whatever, it works for me

I only steal in a friendly way
I only poison on Saturdays
I only beat the runaways
Whatever, it works for me

I spend my days
hating faggots
I spend my wages
in denying it
I want to kill them
but love will do
Come closer
hey, you!

I only speed in the best cars
I only drink in the straight bars
I only thank my lucky stars
Whatever, it works for me

I only want the one, true Lord
I only want true believers on board
I only want to run the ward
Whatver, it works for me

I spend my days
hating faggots
I spend my wages
in denying it
I want to kill them
but love will do
Come closer
hey, you!

I only hate in the good sense
I only rape in the present tense
I only kill cause of happenstance
Whatever, it works for me

I only steal in a friendly way
I only poison on Saturdays
I only beat the runaways
Whatever, it works for me

I spend my days
hating faggots
I spend my wages
in denying it
I want to kill them
but love will do
Come closer
hey, you!

edgar,
i suspected, with your reference to the french participants, that that poll question might be a gallic trick question. so, i answered "poor" and joined the eighty some odd percent that the party will spin as "an outpouring of sympathy for our Dear Leader's svengali, dickie." poor dickie, and all he's had to endure at the hands of the french.

General,

Gays don't reproduce so they must be the result of Intelligent Design. Are they saying God screwed up?

General,

Love in Action sounds like such a wholesome Christian environment.

Finally, someplace for kids that tells it like it is. How often as a youngster I needed a firm hand to tell me that my feelings were stupid.

Hopefully, the nine young men and women, left in the program, will find the counseling they need to get onto Prozac. This sounds like a great place to get love and to get action.

In my day, all a teen like me had was a youth minister named Chet, a church retreat and a stolen warm beer. I'll never forget all the counseling he gave me about not telling and how no one would understand. But that was back in the good old days. I'm sure these kids are getting all the benefits that modern Christianity has to offer.

Edgar;

I went to the link; the poll is not currently active. But, they prolly didn't have a "most destructive, self-delusion fuckwad piece of shit to ever put his hand up a sitting Presipuppet's ass" category anyway. Sigh.

I went through Love In Action ... best around! Worked better than the est training!

I believe there's a misprint, Sir. It was supposed to read "Love Inaction" , or if they started getting busy with the kids, "Lovin' Action."

Can't get good piecework done with these overseas brown people who don't speak English as good as we do.

General,
So proud that my town is the home of Love In Action. Really has inspired me to hit my knees and pray that the rapture hurries and takes these people off to their just rewards.
