Always tickles me to see the conservative right leap at any issue that gives them a chance to bash some minority under the cover of so-called 'values'. Witness a frothy attempt to whip up discontent over the New Jersey ruling approving equal rights for same-sex couples as for married (but, interestingly, avoiding the issue concerning the actual use of the word marriage).
As a long time friend of a lesbian couple raising a child, I feel the sooner such benefits arrive the better. Plus I don't believe government has any place in someone's bedroom. Still, no doubt some apathetic religious conservatives might be sufficiently stirred to vote and sustain what is clearly one of the most inept governments in American history, and that will not be good for anyone. We'll see.
Meanwhile we are up to nearly 100 U.S. servicemen dead in Iraq this month.
Lets not forget the other 2,700……..And the 600,000 Iraqis too!!!
Inept is a kind description, musickna. Unfortunately we are only in round three with the terrorists in a match that may go more than 10 rounds…:furious:
Waka – very good point. These are the deaths that don't register (much) with Westerners.David – perhaps I was too kind… 🙂
Funny thing is too (and I dont mean funny 'ha ha') is that Sadamm, the evil bastard, is on trial for his life, responsible for the deaths of some 100 something plus thousand Iraqi people from when he took power in the late 70's till when he was (ahem) toppled a few years back.Criminal Bush and his puppy dog Blair have managed to chalk up (AT LEAST) 600,000 dead Iraqi (AHEM) "terrorists" in just a few short years!!All those "terrorist" women, small children, including many babies, that have died in this illegal "war" will surely mean that the shores of the good old US of A are much safer these days as a result!!!Its good to know that it has not all been for nothing!! :furious: !!!
But remember those deaths have made the world a safer place and we will discover those WMD's and prove that Saddam was going to nuke the world.Oh and Laura has just seen the tooth fairy and Tony and Cherie are coming at Xmas to have a meal with us and SantaAnd their are Fairies at the bootom of the White House garden
Divide and conquer. The old story. Keep people polarized from each other so they won't come together. But this Conservative shift won't last forever. Twenty years or so it will swing the other way. It's Yin and Yang.
