Oh and for Fae, Marty, etc, look at our strong supporter. He's honoring a dead gay guy. :swiss:

Is this his way of saying that the only good gay is a dead gay? :unsure:

I live to smite heretics.
Do you smite them with cookies and well-worded conciliatory orations? :P

Anyway I'm with garbon - I consider you to be non-religious, too, to your credit. :D

Oh, King is a dyke so it's 2:1. :thumbsup:
Every one of them except for those two was heterosexual.  Moreover, a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage will pass, with Obama's endorsement.

Oh I don't consider people who attend fruity churches, like Unitarian ones, to be religious.

So only people who attend false churches who spit on truth and curse virtue are religious?
Not entirely.  However, My adherents don't show as much zeal as those of the false gods, which is just the way that I like it.  I would never think to encourage people to lock themselves away from football games on Sunday mornings.

Tutu also supports gay rights.

Yeah, but you hate him because he's a Catholic.  Although, like you, he's a mindless anti-semite, so I guess it's more complicated than that.

Besides, the most important thing is that Obama does not support gay rights.

Who died and made Obama important?

It is a testament to our great nation that even after negligently killing young woman you are trying to have sex with, you can still go on to receive an award like this.
I can't figure out why Obama so openly and flagrantly worships the guy.  He's nothing but a massive pile of baggage.  I mean, why the fuck was he given that big central role at the DNC last year?  I don't recall Clinton ever doing anything like that with Uncle Teddy.
Sentimentality.  Because it looked like being his last campaign and last convention. 

QuoteYeah, but you hate him because he's a Catholic.
Will no-one respect the Anglican Communion :weep:

I love Tutu.  The guy gives an amazing speech.  When he starts his 'MR HU.  YOU HAVE ALREADY LOST...' bit of his speeches it's beautiful.

I generally like the list.  Even Jack Kemp :o
Let's bomb Russia!
