Actually, we took over after a decade during which the Straight White Males weakened the West by plunging it into two wars, a recession and an environmental crisis.

I keep forgetting the great alliance between the African-American community and Homosexuals.

Obama does Marty's will.

Indeed.  Obama has done more to defeat the gay agenda than any president, ever.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

Only because we do not like each other does not mean we can't form an alliance to bring the White Straight Male (tm) down. :P

Anyway, going back to the German elections, I'm extremely happy with the result.

As a Pole I am happy that CDU won, since they are much less likely that SPD to get all chummy with Putin, especially under Angela. And as a gay man (and a moderate free market supporter) I am happy that FPD won.

Well I am with you on being annoyed with the pro-Russian sympathies of the SPD last time they were in power.  I like the idea of a Liberal party being in power in Germany...but it will be interesting to see how much an agenda like that will really work these days in Germany.

Man we tolerate and love the gays and stop lynching them and killing them like the black/brown straight males and we get no credit for it.  That is gratitude for you.

Well, I don't expect them to do some overhaul of Germany but I think it is usually good if the ruling party or coalition serves as a sort of a counterweight to the country's overall profile.

Whenever a country is ruled by a party that embodies, embraces and worships its existent national tendencies (that would be Republicans in the US, nationalists in Poland, socialists in the modern day Germany), it usually creates some imbalance.

Interesting theory.  I guess it does give the ruling party a bit too much leeway to do things and make trouble if they have literally no checks on them.

Don't know if that was deliberate, but the guy in your picture was gay. :P

Sir Humphrey Appleby isn't.

He was married - for a public schoolboy, that's not proof positive either way.

He's a misogynist, that means he must be straight.

You must be joking - some of the biggest misogynists are gay. :P

Not the "ew cooters" misogyny of gheys, but rather the "little lady" misogyny of straights.

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Indeed. They are led by an openly gay guy so they have my vote. :P
Surely it's their liberalism that you'd be voting for, not their leaders sexual tastes? :lol:

The first prognosis is that the Conservatives + the Liberals can form the next government.

CDU/CSU (conservative) 33.5% (-1.7)
SPD (social democrats) 22.5 (-11.7)
FDP (european liberals)15.0 (+5.2)
Left (socialists) 12.5%
Greens c. 11% (didn't write the number down)
Pirate Party c. 2%

I ahve no idea how German politics works, but I once considered playing Macher Die.

Marty, so you have a picture: this is Angie and Guido (in the middle) with their respective partners.

Die Macher.

Something we should give a shot at some point.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.
