U.S. To Use Foreign Aid to Promote Gay Rights

I think its sad that the country has such low morals, and we need laws to keep homosexuality out of schools.

As far as I know I still have the right to associate with whom I wish, and it aint a bunch of fags

 

I'll use a somewhat famous quote to voice my feeling on this issue...and the Obama Admin...

 

Thats what bothers me In the name of progress they have destoyed morals, family values and the church. It is unlawful to have God in our schools but okay to have two men having sex teach our children. What the He!! is wrong with that picture?

 

It's amazing how many creative new ways this Administration can come up with to waste American Taxpayer money.

 

And the worst part is "progress" doesn't have an ending point. Once the battle for one deviant behavior has been won they simply progress to seeing something else made OK. So whats next? Acceptance of horse/dog/etc porkers? Where is the line in the sand?

 

It's an amusing double entendre

It's an amusing double entendre but it doesn't add much to the debate.

I find it a bit hypocritical when folk wail about linking foreign aid to countries who criminalise homosexuality on the principle that foreign aid should not be a lever to change the domestic policies of foreign aid recipients, but are quite content to ignore any inconsistancy with that principle when foreign aid is used to blackmail foreign governments and NGO's into conforming to American sectarian influences on how certain foreign aid programs are to be disbursed.

Whether some homosexuals flaunt their sexuality by flourishing peacock feathers from their fundaments is a relatively trivial thing...probably not greatly more offensive than Paris Hilton exhibiting her sexuality eggregiously via social media. The fact is, that in a number of countries that receive foreign aid...homosexuality is a crime for which the death penalty is a common enough occurence. I don't much care whatever one's sexual preferences are, what consenting adults do in the privacy of their own space is their own business, No one deserves to be executed or murdered for them.

As I understand it....the matter at issue in the foreign aid initiative is decriminalisation of homosexuality...not the promotion of homosexuality. At it's most basic, it is a matter of human rights to life and liberty, the liberty not live a lie for fear of prosecution, just to live.

There was a time when witches were persecuted...unto death...for no better reason than some quotes from the "sacred texts" were evoked to dispose of women (and in some cases men) who were perceived to be "different". The church (Catholic and Protestant) did well financially out of the persecution of witches (a proportion of the convicted witch's estate would invariably be apportioned to the witch's denouncers and the church). It has only been in recent times (the 20th century) when people were no longer subjected to criminal prosecution in western democracies for alleged witchcraft. I see no real difference with regard to the prosecution of homosexuality as a criminal offence. At some stage civilised people won't invoke the "holy" scriptures to justify the persecution of homosexuals in the way that people no longer appeal to scripture to burn witches.

 

I agree that people need to stop trying to make others accept their views. I don't like joining any kind of organization for that reason. I don't like being told what to do. Never have, probably never will. And my views/opinions are just that, mine. I decided for myself what my beliefs are, I didn't just believe what I was told. And I'll be the one to answer for them, it's no one else's problem. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong and I'll deal with the consequences when I answer for my life. At least I was honest with myself and lived my life the way I felt was right and if anyone don't like it, well that actually will be their problem, not mine.

 

See, that's the only 'rule' I never have a problem with, being civil/respectful in a social environment. First Amendment to me means that while I have the right to shoot my mouth off, I also have the right to discretion and knowing when to shut up.

 

The gays were already PO'd with obummer the whitehouse clown, as he did not honor his prior election promises to give them their 'special rights' and bennies. NOW, he wants their votes, so he's telling them what they want to hear - standard procedure for this Chitown Hustler with a God Complex......

 

Always found this amusing... but then again I'm just an easily amused dumb redneck.

 

With the way she looks somewhat disgusted it's only a matter of time before she finds a Monica under his desk.

Odumba$$ said he was just experimenting and it only happen a few times and he was intoxicated. Speaking of what ever happen to the guy that came out and said that the commander and chief had relations with him in the limo while doing cocain?

 

When the coffin manufacture was outsourced to Halliburton

I'm surprised that anyone could afford nails or a hammer at all???

 

Maybe it's a new peaceful long term tactic to eventually drive the enemy into extinction......
Or.....

"War For Women!"

 

It must be nice to live in your world ,how much wine would a man have drink to get there .
And yes we have problems here with politicians and their way of doing things just as would guess you do .but ya see we don't end up without our rights as fast as you seem to want to give them up.
Just different upbringing I guess !!!
