what is with Rush and O’Reily ?

O’Riely puts gay and lesbian marriage to ducks… that was eight years ago.. today, he is… don’t faint, for gay marriage.

Rush is very upset. he doesn’t even speak the name of O’Riely.

bill hates  those who change their mind on an issue. 

If an issue is popular, and especially if it be a civil rights issue, we all must open out minds, and hearts, think! be tolerant..

this is a civil right. a civil right. this has nothing to do with religion, take it out of the equation.

...And the Struggle Continues

If the struggle for inter-racial marriage had been left to individual states, the struggle would yet be living in a state by state uncertainty. Certainly, hopefully, the are  many of us who know deep in the heart of our souls that dismantling the Voting Rights Act would be a total disaster.
The point and reason being that individual states are, of course, comprised of individuals, all with different opinions and some hold to terrific prejudice.
The Supreme Court stands as the last bastion of protection for those who have long been steamrolled by old and ugly myths, superstition, hatred and though very far from last, religiosity.
The ferocity of fringe religious zealots would have gays put to death for loving another human being of the same sex. They say God hates those who are born gay or lesbian. I just can't imagine my God hating anyone, and certainly one who is innocent of the consequences his or her birth brought onto those who are different. God's love is all encompassing, yes my opinion, but I always thought and read and heard, God loves all of us, no matter how we are born. It is understood religion is, for this argument, important, BUT it is far from the central fact.
Marriage is a CIVIL right, and as all men and women are created equal, all should and must have the same rights regardless of 'what' we are, or how our births were celebrated.
Religion has nothing to do with our civil rights. In our country religion is a freedom, the right to freedom of religion, and freedom from others who wish to renew inquisitions on people and things they may be afraid of because they don't understand as individuals those who are different from themselves.
This land has no state sanctioned religion. To say same sex marriage is against one religion or another is moot. Religion must be plucked from the argument, especially in a court of law. Rather listen to the children, friends and all the loved ones of people struggling for the right to marry.
a civil right is open to all of us. No matter religion, or lack there of; race, or sexual orientation.
Say yes. Yes of course you too have the right to marry whomever you may love, and may good fortune and happiness follow you always.

Hungary on the Brink

Hungary and Greece are the only countries on earth containing Neo-Nazis in their government.

Hungarian municipalities have erected statues and named streets and squares honoring Miklos Horthy, who sent 450,000 Hungarian Jews to their death during the Holocaust.Horthy is a hero to the Hungarian people, obviously.

80% of Greek and Hungarian populations favor deportation of foreigners.

Foreigners. So, once more, Jews are foreigners in their own country.

It is important to remember history, especially as it relates to the distant, yet recent history of the holocaust as it began in Germany during the rise of Hitler. Jews  were deemed a people without a country, even though their history in Germany reach back as far as one thousand years.

Golden Dawn

Golden Dawn. The sound is beautiful, no? The answer in this case is a resounding NO!
For golden dawn, is one of  the largest surge of the Nazi Party, which is now exploding in Greece.
Extremist and violently anti-Semetic, Golden Dawn has parliamentary representation. Of course the group denies the fact  of the Holocaust.
In Greek the group name still sounds nice, 'Chrysi Avgi'.

Teaching Teachers...to shoot?

the teachers with weapons idea is crazy stuff.
Suppose teachers are armed. Is there no one out there that has the brains to think kids are pretty smart, and as we know 'there is always one in the crowd, obviously, who will have the wits about him or her to get the weapon from the teacher?
-teach leaves the class-where is the gun?
in her purse?- which is not in the class room.
in the desk-easy to break in.
or does the teacher wear a holster.
even if there is an 'anonymous' gun holder, someone acting as an agent on a plane, they are human. more than  less have mental or emotional problems.
more guns means at least one extra shooting, maybe accidental, probably so. BUT if that gun was not there, no shooting.
more guns is not the solution.

rockets just keep on coming

i'm pissed off. israel should not have stopped until they finished their mission.
i feel in my heart, however, israel is not going to stand for this. they know they are the only nation that others wish never existed. i think there will be special opps.
With the coming election which Netanyahu would certainly like to win, i dont think he will go against the will of the people.
the people in israel want the job done once and for all, and i agree!

Israel

when a town in israel is hit by a rocket propelled from gaza, it is always aimed at, 'whatever'. when they shoot rockets they are bound to hit regular homes, schools and playgrounds. The gagan rockets, made in iran, are meant to hit and kill civilians. they knowingly do this.
Israel fires back, but  they try to hit important and strategic spots.  say the rafah crossing, which is used for the entrances of tunnels built underground.  these are the things israel expects... only peace and security.
