i wanted to say something more offensive, but this is a family friendly blog. All families, be they gay, straight, conservative, liberal, etc. As a result i will not delve into rude pundit territory with this post. if you want my uncensored view, come find me at Drinking Liberally every wednesday at 7-9 at rp billiards on the highland strip.
I said it back in April, I'll say it again now, gay rights are civil rights. Morons like Bunker and his supporters keep using the Old Testament as justification for their attacks on gays. It says you can't lie down with men, well, go suck on a piece of catfish ya hypocrite.
Jesus, who you profess to love and carry with you with your gaudy display of faith said he was the foundation of a new covenant which became the New Testament. He also said the following in Matthew 5:43-47
43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? 47 And if you greet only your brothers, [8] what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? 48 You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
What does that say? To me it says greet and love everyone the same, because if you don't you are no different than the Gentiles, aka the heatherns. Greeting and loving everyone the same is the exact same as treating them the same. Do not treat them differently, do not discriminate.
Oh and for the grandstanders who are out there professing their faith and what it means, and how it justifies their discrimination against gays, black, etc. Here's a little more Matthew for ya,
Matthew 6
Giving to the Needy
1"Be careful not to do your 'acts of righteousness' before men, to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.
2"So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. 3But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
Prayer
5"And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. 6But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 7And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. 8Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
In other words, keep to yourself, God sees you, you do not have to profess your deeds in public for all to see, praying in public and making a spectacle in his name angers him and you will get your reward, a one way elevator trip straight down.
I know you hate to hear this, but the Christian bible is not the law of the land. Our founding fathers fought and had seen the result of religous wars that devasted europe from the 1300's to the 1600's. They had seen the result of religous leaders like Oliver Cromwell. That is why the law of this land is the Constitution, not the Christian bible

Oh, and by the way:
GOD HATES SHRIMP.
I sent my letters out to the commissioners in support of the non-discriminatiion ordinance basically stating what your said about the seperatioin of government and church. Of course only one replied back and that was the writer of the ordinance.
Discrimination is discrimination Wyatt Bunker openly admitted he discriminates when he said, "It is okay to discriminate in certain situation." What a freaking joke!
Hear this Mr. Bunker and all who agreed with his statement, "IT IS NOT OKAY TO DISCRIMINATE!"
And a man sticking his penis in another man's anal cavity IS NOT normal and never will be.
If it were, we'd see male dogs sticking their little dicks in other male dog's asses.
The right to stick your cock in a man's ass? Yes, you have that right. To force the majority of Americans to agree with you that this sick behavior is normal and that we agree - will NEVER happen.
P.S. Lose some weight fatass. I do not want to be held responsible for your health care once the fat and lard starts damaging your health.
Anon, since I suspect the only sex you get is with your hand, you are probably jealous that ANYONE is getting any.

You can always tell the poverty of an argument by personal attacks and unsubstantiated statements. Also, your vicious attacks aren't attacking the particular blogger who made the original post.
Well, I'm no scientist, but most of the research I've heard about indicates that homosexuality exists widely throughout the animal kingdom.
And, if it didn't--do you mean that human beings should model themselves after animals anyway, performing or not performing whatever acts animals do?
What is important here is that NO governmental body should discriminate in hiring or in service provision based on race, age, sexual orientation, gender, body shape, etc. It's wrong, it's stupid, talent is lost.
Also, white people who had never been victims of discrimination aided the African-American drive for civil rights. They were vilified, some were murdered, but no one accused them of being "black." By contrast, a heterosexual who advocates for homosexual rights is often thought to be gay.
I figure if they come for one of us, they can come for all of us.
"Do the right thing."
hey anon coward: so it's OK when a man sticks his dick in his wife's ass, right?
Yes, it is just as abnormal and sick for a man's to stick his dick in his wife's ass to get off. A puss was made for that purpose.
I'm (personally) opposed to discrimination based on sexual orientation and applaud Steve Mulroy for his forward thinking and progressive efforts.
Mulroy, really, is a man whose vision and talents are wasted, both on the Commission and as a professor at the University. We are blessed to have him, but are too backwards, prejudiced and hateful to deserve him. Still, I'm thankful for his presence and his efforts.
This week, following the lead of God's Own Bunker, and the rest of the majority of the council, I decided that (even though I personally don't believe sexual orientation should be a disqualification for a job)if the County Commission thinks we should discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation, who am I to decide not to follow our leaders?
So, as the gay owner of a small business, I fired all my straight employees!
My shop is now completely gay owned and gay run and it's all legal!
Now, I had nothing against the straight employees (even though what they do in their bedrooms i find to be kind of, uh, repulsive; but that's beside the point)I took the opportunity to fire them while it's still legal just to help a few people understand how wrong it is that someone can be discriminated against at his or her place of employement because of their sexual orientation.
I guarantee that those 5 people, whether they had thought much about it before or not, now don't think an employer should be able to discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation! hahaha
Maybe all of us successful gay business owners in Shelby County should follow this model. Wonder how long it would take the Commission to get in line with the 21st century and oppose discrimination if straight people are losing their jobs?
OK, anon. Then is it OK if my wife gives me a BJ? Should she spit or swallow? (she's really a swallow kind of gal, but I don't want her to get caught up in sin or offend your delicate sensibilities). I mean, mouths were made for EATING FOOD after all, not abnormal sexual practices!!! Should we outlaw these unnatural and God-offending practices? Not to mention (gasp) sex toys!!!??
So much for reasoned and nuanced argument. Each side roots itself in name-calling, written screaming, pueudo-macho language of body parts and dripping condescension that roars among us once again. Frankly, I am getting to the place where I don't give a damn.
well, jaded anon, there's a place for nuanced, well-crafted debate, and sometimes there's a place for what I posted. I think you get my point though, when confronted with insipid arguments like that of anon 11:35 ( i.e., "I think anal sex is gross, so that justifies my support of bigotry") sometimes you have to point out the silliness and inanity of such arguments by making fun of them. (what sex practices ARE allowable by anon 11:35 anyway?) I mean, back in the day (and still in the present) people found the idea of "race-mixin'" to be gross and very naughty in God's sight, so that justified their bigotry towards black people. Good day, sir or madam.
