		<description>#89 - damastertroll Says: 
-----------------------------------------------------------
&quot;OF which I fully believe there are genetically gay people, but most are posers for money or emotional neediness later in life&quot;

May 1st, 2009 at 5:07 pm

&lt;strong&gt;Funny, that&#039;s how I view &quot;conservatism&quot; and Republicansim.  

It&#039;s a genetic trait (one might say &#039;defect&#039;) to quest for self-satisfaction at the expense of other Americans.  The majority of Republican (and some Democratic) leaders embrace severe hypocrisy as they pillory extending individual rights for all Americans and impose their extreme beliefs on others, just because they are mistaken about their own &quot;rightness&quot;.&lt;/strong&gt;</description>

		<description>To those who counsel patience, and relax, and that Obama is on the side of liberals, I saw show me the money.  

Let me tell you what I think is going on.  No, I don&#039;t think it, I know it.  It&#039;s been going on since the DLC took over the party in the late 1980s.  When Al Fromm and Bill Clinton and Joe Lieberman started moving the party to the right, in order to attract more Republicans to the party.  Moderate Republicans. 

The farther right the Republican party moves, the more alienated moderate Republicans become.  They are having one heckuva time taking back control over the Republican party, which is the price they paid when they made that pact with the Christian Coalition and Ralph Reed.  Republican politicians just wanted to use the Christian Coalition for their votes, but the evangelical voters liked the power they have as a voting bloc and took over control of the party.

Now, the DLC wants moderate Republicans to leave the Republican Party and join the Democratic Party, but they won&#039;t do it with the liberal base firmly ensconced in the Democratic Party.  The DLC&#039;s plan, Obama&#039;s and just about all elected Democrats are signed on to it, is to marginalize the liberal base, drive the base out.  The closer it gets to the elections, both in 2010 and especially in 2012, liberal issues will be dropped entirely.  The more we, the liberal base, squawk, the better it plays for Obama because he and the DLC believe Republican voters will like him more.

In order for the DLC to achieve their ends, Obama can&#039;t leave Iraq or Afghanistan or else Republicans will campaign on more fear campaigns, and how we&#039;re not safe.  Obama won&#039;t end Don&#039;t Ask Don&#039;t if it means he risks Republican voters sticking with Republicans.

And Democrats in Congress won&#039;t do anything that will cause their corporate patrons to halt the campaign contributions.  Towards that end, we will be bled to death with usurious credit card fees and banking fees, and foreclosures and job losses, and that serves the corporate class because we have no money to create another internet challenger to Obama and DLC Dems.</description>

Geezus, does everyone fall through my jokes and not get them and use them as ammunition only to look foolish?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;

Like we&#039;re supposed to tell which foolish thing you say is supposed to be serious, which is just to annoy people, which is due to your admitted LSD hallucination and which are jokes?  We don&#039;t have a Dewey Decimal system custom-made to file your bullshit.

.

&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;damastertroll Says:

I have no need to shut down this site, notice I still have free speech. I talked to the people who run this blog and they agree after reviewing my posts that I am an asset and I offer a true differing opinion that is a value to the community.&lt;/em&gt;

This is a lie.  When you were brothabazillion you were explaining how you use an IP proxy to avoid being banned by IP, then you created a new account.

.

&lt;em&gt;damastertroll Says:

I just got an invite to the Hannity show and also Severin when he goes back on air and Limbaugh!&lt;/em&gt;

No you didn&#039;t.  Another lie.</description>

		<description>Clinton pulled the same stunt. He promised to allow gays and lesbians to serve openly and ended up implementing DADT, which is worse than the previous policy. He also signed the Defense of Marriage Act, a stab in the back to his gay supporters.

Obama&#039;s looking more and more like Clinton: another narcissistic, opportunistic, Machiavellian center-right politician. He&#039;s even loaded his administration with Clintonites. 

When&#039;s Monica Lewinsky coming on board?</description>

		<description>The military is a top down organization and it is clearly perpetuating stereotypes and allowing abuse. The problem with rape in the military is a problem because military leaders allow it to be a problem. Same with the gay issue. There is no reason for any kind of harassment or harm in a military population to be more prevalent than it is in the general population. The big-dick military machismo culture is perpetuated from the top down. It could be changed drastically, overnight, with military discipline.</description>

		<description>Realness you may wish to investigate the work of Joan Roughgarden who may or may not still be at Stamford. Her book Evolution&#039;s Rainbow is interesting and controversial. I feel there are many insightful aspect to her ideas but her personal history makes her a lightening rod which is sort of unfortunate.

		<description>and you know... I wonder if your idea about bonobo/chimpanzee affiliation is right.  It could be a chicken or the egg argument.  Humans have for a long time formed their culturual biases and THEN looked for affirmation in nature.  We always want to know we&#039;re just being &lt;em&gt;natural&lt;/em&gt;.  It&#039;s an interesting thought.</description>

that&#039;s too funny!  I work in PR, and I&#039;m actually not shocked by what comes up in the Google history search tab.  It doesn&#039;t appear to be completely PR-related :)</description>

		<description>Realness Says:

i don&#039;t know. now I&#039;m just getting distracted by so much stupidity in every post. It&#039;s like scattershot, and you can&#039;t address it all, but it&#039;s still there.

it&#039;s sad. the trajectory of a blog thread always goes downhill the second a genius like damastertroll comes in, proud to have disrupted adult conversation.

Jaimy- the imagery is complicated by the arrogance of moral conservatism- the entitlement to come to a progressive blog- spit out a lot of offensive rhetoric, and then claim to only be a valuable contribution to an intelligent debate... how does that all factor in?


Dude, you just have to f**king laugh man, not take these things seriously no more. If they let the govt take away our sense of humor then everyone is screwed.
I treat gay patients and their spouses with absolutely the same professionalism I would anyone else.
I lived in Capitol Hill which is the gay capital of the northwest and a second San Fran.
Im not going to say alot of my friends were gay when I lived there but I will say if I swung a cat, Id hit a gay person.

So who cares, and making fun of all this stuff on the internet is funny. 
I do believe that it is not a civil right like being born black etc...
Its not that and most science agrees with that. It is a product of learning and enculturation. Moreso with girls easily influenced to perform lesbian acts to arouse men and please them.

To not say THAT is wrong is just wrong. To say that if you are 25 or so and decide to be with another person of the same sex. That is ok. 
But LGBT want access to the highschools and junior high to start clubs. And even ABC news said they want to start teaching gay tolerance in kindergarten to prevent bullying.

When government mandates kids go to school or face imprisonment. They have to be duely cautious on issues like this given communist models in North Korea and China.

Some topics should be left to the parents, even if you disagree with them,b/c then if you disagree and you limit them. Then this is not the USA anymore

Its a slippery slope taking away rights and creating fantasy rights for people whose sexuality cant be determined and it changes. Look at hollywood for those who switched sides for fame, lost fame switched back, switched again etc...
Selfserving interest helped them gain money and exploit truly gay people.

OF which I fully believe there are genetically gay people, but most are posers for money or emotional neediness later in life</description>

		<description>Probably Realness. Better do so from home and better add bonobo to the search. Very interesting behavior. A strong case can be made that had the bonobo been discovered first rather than the chimp humanity might view itself far less like the descendent of a male agression dominated blood thirsty ape.

I once google fecal analysis for a project I was doing on shifts in the compostion of the diets of bats from work. It ended up fine but I had some &#039;splaining&quot; to do</description>
