Foley (R-FL) the page-lover can't spell "bulge"- Page 11

And now, our daily wisdom from Joseph Farah in his warning to his flock:

You are nothing but a breeder for these folks. You work your little job and pay your taxes so these folks can get their welfare check, get their operations, import their immigrant "friends" and recruit your kids into their lifestyle.

That's about the size of it. And, if you don't like the agenda, you are nothing but a non-compassionate bigot and intolerant homophobe.

God will not be mocked for much longer. And, when it comes, I wouldn't want to be in the neighborhood of those "tolerant" of these kinds of lies and perversion.

I'd love to see the scores of faggots on welfare when most reports show the gay community has a CONSIDERABLY higher income median. Also, my evangelical churchgoing neighbors and friends from home? WAY more likely to be on welfare.
I also love how we all need our "operations" and, god dang it, if one more militant homophobe accuses me of converting today's youth to our lifestyle, I might just have to start trying.

The fact that people in the media are still referring to Foley as a pedophile is a bit messed up to me. I'm really not sure if the situation had been between a guy and a 16 year old girl that you would still hear all the same "disgusting" type adjectives thrown around. The fact that the guy abused his power in such a way is not acceptable, but yeah, sketchiness abounds as far as some of the reactions go.

Really? You don't think they'd call him a pedophile? I think they would. In fact, 99% of those "We go behind the scenes to confront these pedophiles" exposes on the news always seem to target married men going after young girls.

Perverts & Pedophiles

Here's another interesting definition, which sort of indicates that professionals by and large include pedophilia to be anyone who falls under statutory laws:

an adult whose primary sexual interest is in children; some professionals make a differentiation between a pedophile, whose sexual partner of choice is a prepubertal child, and a hebephile, who is aroused by adolescents.

Then "Pedophile" would be a very ambiguous term, as statutory laws are different from state to state. So, as they've been saying, what might be "pedophilia" in Florida could be just "hooking up with a rather young partner" in Washington, D.C.

Not even concerning Foley, one thing that's always been interesting to me is when you see someone immediately start showing interest in an actor or actress openly once they turn 18. Obviously, I understand that there are laws for a reason as far as the age of consent goes, but for people to pretend that they had no feelings at all for the person like a day before their birthday is just funny to me.

What does "import their immigrant 'friends'" mean? I wish we could do that, unfortunatly marriage discrimnation doesn't allow me to. I love when people use "welfare checks" in any argument.

Well, the context of the column, to which I'll spare you having to see the link, starts out about some seminars here in New York for GLBT folk coping with poverty and their immigration status. And then he kind of careens off the cliff from there.

Well gay immigrants can't marry gay people (anywhere in this country) so there is no one coming in that way. There are paper marriages, but that is NOT a gay thing. It's a real b!tch to fall in love with someone out of the states. Even if we get some form of marriage for gays, I doubt very much we will have the right to sponsor our partners.

That drudge article that was posted here yesterday? The one that claimed to have corroborating evidence and witnesses to debunk the factualness of those IMs?
You guys remember that one?
Well, the former page’s lawyer debunked it and Drudge has removed it. No retraction, not further posting of its accuracy.
Just.
Gone.
Kind of like the Republican majority in November.

Ah, just like the John Kerry affair story. Now where's the conservative outgage a la Dan Rather?

It's still up there. I haven't seen it present anywhere else yet. I can't believe Foley is still not behind bars. Something is up.

Yeah, tell me about it. I've been singing that song for over four years now.

when you read this piece on MEDIA MATTERS, you can understand how people would be confused about the dems culpability in this.

Singer, here's a link to a late '90s report (or a summary of the report with a link to the actual report included in that) that shows the lie of the myth of gay wealth.

It's an accepted untruth that was first concocted by folks trying to market their gay magazines to mainstream advertisers, perpetuating the image of upper middle class white gay men without children and PILES of disposable income ... and that is now perpetuated by "[r]ight-wing organizations and individuals..." in order to create the image of the lavender mafia, an entitled class of people who couldn't POSSIBLY have anything in common with the poor folks who previously struggled for civil rights.
