Alan Keyes is a well-known conservative politician and UN Ambassador who once made headline news when suing Barack Obama in order to challenge his citizenship. He has long since condemned homosexuality, despite having a lesbian daughter, Maya Jean Marcel-Keyes. Marcel-Keyes is now an LGBT advocate.
Republican Arizona Senator Matt Salmon had long since held his conservative views, including anti-gay legislation that would ban same sex marriage and gay adoption rights. Matt R. Salmon, his son, came out as gay in 2010, with plans to make the Republican party more progressive
Colorado Representative Marsha Looper (R) accidentally outed her son when her campaign manager sent an email praising her for voting against civil-unions despite having a gay son. The episode upset Looper, whose son never wanted to be outed in public.
Colorado Representative Don Coram greatly disappointed his son, Dee Coram, when he voted against Colorado's civil unions bill. Despite Coram claiming to be proud of his gay son, he said he couldn't bring himself to go against the will of her conservative voters.

Love Troegs, they have done an incredible job from where they started in Harrisburg, good people. From there it's only a short drive to Pizza Boy in Enola.
I still like Sly Fox and used to go to the Royersford location for years and still hit Phoenixville occasionally. Just not a fan of Tired Hands, more about how they run their business and beer releases than the actual liquid. But can't argue they are doing great and seem to be one of the most popular beers with traders.

Quote: RSI did a google search for "is being gay a choice science proof" (not in quotes in search) and from the articles that showed up, it didn't seem like anything has been proven (yet?), but there's evidence to support it's not a choice...but research is still being done on the subject. I'm not going to waste my time wading through several more articles (unless someone wants to post an article of proof in-favor or against it being a choice), because TBH, I don't really care if it's a choice, the way you were brought up, your genes, a birth defect, or whatever else.
You said it perfectly.
My only issue is people trying to pass off non facts as 100% scientific proof. Then when they can't they name call.

Have I ever said there are not crazies on the right? Each side has people they should be ashamed of. The difference is I see many of the right calling out idiots, not only the Nazis but people like those who made this sign. Of course the same thing was observed about George W Bush. Less outrage though by the left.

Quote:So was the $50 billion bill filled with pork — two-thirds of which was unrelated to Sandy?
No.
The Congressional Research Service issued a comprehensive report on the provisions, and it’s clear that virtually all of it was related to the damage caused by Sandy. There may have been some pork in an earlier Senate version, but many of those items were removed before final passage. There were also some items that appear to have been misunderstood.

I'm not gay, but I know damn well people don't have a choice what sex they are attracted to. You can choose to resist acting it, but that's just silly IMO and no one should have to live like that.
I don't know how anyone in their right mind with any real logic nowadays can think its a choice. Most gay people say they knew they were different when they were young and show signs of it. I don't know how a young person can make a choice like that when they don't really know anything about sexuality.
I don't know why any young male who's in a family that's vehemently against being gay would choose to be gay and have to hide while living with fear and shame.
What kid would choose to be gay and risk ridicule from their friend's, siblings, kids from the neighborhood, groups or classmates?
There are people who desperately don't want to be gay, people who even resort to killing themselves over it.
There are countries where it's punishable by death.
Yet some people think it's a choice?
Use your brain.

Off-topic,
My daughter is also gay, and it wasn't a choice for her. When she came out, I wasn't happy. Not because she was gay, but because she chose to go through the difficulty of unnecessarily declaring her sexuality. What I didn't understand was that coming out is getting over that risk of being ridiculed and just being who she is, not about covering up or being embarrassed by something that is natural, that they were born with.
And I'm a Christian, and I have spoken to my pastors who used to talk about how Jesus would go to the gay community and tell them that they should all "straighten up". I told them that Jesus would probably be far more concerned with getting people to just believe in Him and would be far more concerned with poverty, war, hate, divorce, infidelity, and disease over people who love each other despite the fact that they may be garnished with a vagina instead of a penis. They stopped.
Talk to homosexuals, and ask them if they just chose to be that way.

Dude, I have to come back to this. You honestly can't question what you said was stupid as hell. And I know enough to understand you are not stupid. Granted, your continued repeating of the same thing about variance over and over again to a true idiot might make someone question you. But I respect the people who say you are the real deal when it comes to what you do for a living, so I would be the idiot if I questioned your intelligence and common sense. .
So to refresh your memory, you said you can get away with saying anything if you are rich and white. And I came back with a common example, of which there are many that prove your statement wrong.
But you come back saying I am a typical Trumper, which I am, saying I deflected the subject. Maybe I'm dense, but please explain how I didn't answer you question with an example that proved you wrong.
I look forward to your answer, without putting Trump in the answer. Thanks man!
Quote: RSI thought y'all thought Trump wasn't rich and that he's orange, not white?

That fits you to a tee. Note that none of these words listed translate to "hate" which is what you said I described you as. That is the last time I Google something for you. You're on your own from here.

We could have an endless "here's an example of a rich white guy getting away with it..." then you "and here's another example of them not..." etc. The focus of the thread is on Donald Trump. Thus, why I made a particular meaning to put him directly to the words of his supporters throughout the thread. You were showing that some guy was fired as a consequence of what he said (in reference to trump) and I brought up how the same rules clearly don't apply to Trump given that he was recorded saying MUCH WORSE right before the election and now he's the president. It directly shows that trumpers don't care what he says or does. He can be a vile POS human being and trumpers will still just blindly follow him. Trump IS the focus of this thread and should be what we're talking about. His words and his own actions make him a POS, in my opinion... "on many sides."Quote: BozDude, I have to come back to this.

People have to make choices. Being president is way more than about the person. It's the morals and ethics behind the party and the position as well.
A lot of people feel that something had to happen with immigration and that HRC and the Dem policies are going too far to harbor illegal immigrants, for example. A lot of people felt that something had to happen with health care and the HRC and the Dem policies were going too much in the wrong direction, increasing coverages without finding a way to reduce costs and provide relief to those who are insured and their businesses. A lot of people felt that Obama was not tough enough when it came to foreign policy and that he made bad decisions and felt that HRC would have been more of the same. A lot of people felt that Obama was not helping the recovery effort with the last recession and that his policies slowed recovery and that HRC would have been more of the same. A lot of people felt racial strife should have been reduced or eliminated under Obama's leadership and the racial unrest would not have improved under HRC.
There were plenty of reasons not to vote for HRC last November, and despite the s**tstorm that is DJT, he won the election because people would have rather had a unpredictable shaker over the same-old crap.
That said, there is still the Russia investigation and DJT's ongoing business dealings that could have him impeached.
The inability to redo healthcare however has shown that all branches of government are incompetent and that Trump's political ineptitude is hurting his ability to compromise and get meaningful legislature passed.

It's not that far fetched of a concept. No, I'm not trolling. I wouldn't do it because "what if she wanted it?", but if I wanted to do it and she wanted it, then I see no problem with it.....that's how consent works, right?
And from Trumps audio he clearly stated he had no idea if they wanted it or not... He just did it without consent... So with your good understanding of consent, you should also be willing to admit trump is a serial rapist by now.Quote: RSIt's not that far fetched of a concept. No, I'm not trolling.
