The following is from the Sept.10 issue of Time that I just pulled out of my mailbox.

I've been one to scream hypocrisy, but maybe I agree with the statement I've put in bold -

Who's the Hypocrite?
Thursday, Aug. 30, 2007 By NANCY GIBBS

Idaho Senator Larry Craig pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor for his Minnesota men's-room encounter with the vice squad, but the real trial began when the arrest became public and everyone with an opinion or agenda had a chance to testify. Mitt Romney, finding himself without his Senate liaison and Idaho campaign chairman, declared, "It's disgusting," before reminding the jury that sin is bipartisan: "I think we've all heard the story about Bill Clinton and the fact that he let us down in his personal conduct with a White House intern." John McCain called Craig's conduct "disgraceful," but to him the crime was political--"It harms our reputation with the American people"--as though the current public contempt for politicians weren't actually driven by the same partisan, poll-parsing instinct he was demonstrating. On the other side, one gleeful wing of the commentariat seized on Craig as just the latest family-values conservative unmasked as a hypocrite for opposing gay marriage in public while soliciting gay sex in private--even though if Craig truly believes homosexuality is wrong, his fault would be weakness, not hypocrisy. Craig felt compelled to call a press conference, with his wife standing by his side in sunglasses the size of hubcaps, to declare that he had done nothing wrong. "I am not gay. I never have been gay," he insisted, as though that were the charge that had to be knocked down, not the accusation of recklessness or infidelity.

There was so much cynicism and comic fuel in the whole bonfire that the sadness of it was easily lost. The closet remains a dark and roomy place, full of attitudes we won't admit to and contradictions we can't explain. We can be a country that commemorates gay marriages in the Sunday papers and exalts gay characters in our sitcoms but still views it as career suicide to be an openly gay actor or athlete or politician unless you represent some very select ZIP codes. So who are the real hypocrites here, and how do we decide, publicly and privately, what conduct to encourage or condemn? Maybe we'll know when the day ever comes that the real political scandal is the discovery of a Senator cheating on his husband.

Those who lack wit and irony seem to feel it necessary to resort to four-letter words and other vulgarity. MM is another such person. See his postscript.

So the guy tried to blow someone and got caught. Happens every day all over the place. Happening somewhere while I type. Who cares?

If this were about sex in private between two consenting adults, no one should care, although there are scores of self-loathing latent homosexual homophobes who would care. But there is a lot more involved here than that. But you don't care, so why point out the dynamics.

Odd that you feel bestiality is equivalent to gay sex.

wash the sand out of your vagina roxxanne, I didn't equivocate beastiality to gay sex and you know it. as for you lecturing me on netiquette well, that's pretty hilarious in and of itself. :wink:

Now wild ass lefties are calling you out.

Deny, deny, deny.

Cool

Senator Craig has served America very, very well
in doing his best to resist socialism and defend the individualism
and personal freedom upon which America was based.
He was one of the BEST members of the US Senate.

I doubt that his replacement will be as good an American;
i.e., liberty will likely be less safe in his replacement 's keeping.

Does it bother you that much??

Are you so weak minded and so fragile that you allow words written to bother you?

You have 2 choices...you can stop whining about it and ignore it or you can continue to allow it to consume your mind to the point it drives you nuts.

Personally, I dont care which choice you make.
As long as I know it is bothering you it will remain.

Not at all.
It is Advocates choice to be bothered by what I use as my sig line.
I dont force him to be bothered by it,nor do I force him to read it.

If Advocate, you, or anyone else chooses to be bothered by it,thats not my problem.

Your point is well taken:
I strongly supported and revere the memory of Sen. Joe McCarthy.
His heart was in the right place.

America shud cast a new pure silver dollar
with his image upon its face, in celebration of a fine American.
I never met him, but I wish I had shaken his hand,
expressed my GRATITUDE,
and encouraged him to keep up the good work.
( I WAS blessed with the honor of taking the hand of Herbert Philbrick,
and having him autograf " I Led 3 Lives " )

Thank u, for contriving to inspire me with his memory, Blatham,
that my thoughts may rest upon a fine American today.

( I shud mount his picture on my wall )

Shucks. Don't even mention it.

Can I be of any additional assistance re American hero figures and patriots not presently gracing your mantle or bathroom walls? One might be able to locate, via Ebay, one of J. Edgar Hoover's floral print dresses.

Let me know. Real America ought not to be forgotten.

Blatham,
does your idea of what is REAL always come from third-hand hearsay
taken from the disgruntled widows of dead people who cannot confirm that thay ever defamed
the late American hero ?

or do u reserve this technique of analysing reality
to defiling deceased Anti-communist heros who can no longer defend their reputations ??

Well, Tailgunner Joe aggressively defended the Constitution
from its enemies, the commies,
but he did not get into much interpretation thereof.

I have proudly posted my pro-Joe sentiments several times previously.
I wish every American had shared his sentiments ( OUR Anti-Red sentiments ), at the time.
A few decades ago, I used to be an Anti-communist spy
for the House Committee on un-American Activities.
I took my inspiration from Herb Philbrick
( tho my modest efforts never amounted to 3% of his successes )

For a black Jewish man with Navajo and French ancestry, you seem rather testy and out of sorts today.
