Rahm Knew and Lied About It
  • One of the recurring cries of elected Democrats in the wake of the Foley e-mail scandal was that the voters should hold Republican leadership responsible for not acting on what they knew. True, Hastert did not have the disturbing IMs which came out later, but that’s because he made no determined effort to investigate. LEADERSHIP FAILURE! That was the rallying cry. Except it turns out the Clintonite and former DCCC [...]
    • What? Pelosi and Dems KNEW about Massa and Said/Did Nothing? Now THAT is hard to believe…NOT!
  • According to the Washington Post, Nancy Pelosi’s office knew back in October that Eric Massa was guilty of some rather odd and, quite possibly, inappropriate behaviors.  Barney Frank’s office seemed to know as well: Joe Racalto, Massa’s chief of staff, was uneasy that Massa, 50, was living with several young, unmarried male staffers and using sexually explicit language with them, one source said. But what finally prompted him to call [...]

I know that they are getting a lot of attention, and rightly so, but I wanted to draw special attention to Johnny Weir, that daring and inspiring male figure skater who brings new meaning to the words “obnoxious,” “snotty,” and “fullofhimself.” (OK, the last isn’t a real word, but you get [...]
    • Lasting Marriage Limits Children’s Homosexuality
  • That is one surprising conclusion of a new study of 2 million men and women: The researchers found for each additional year one’s parents stay married, the probability of heterosexual marriage in the children increased by 1.6% among sons and 1.0% among daughters. In contrast, the rate of homosexual unions decreased by 1.8% among sons and 1.4% among daughters for every year of intact parental marriage. Summing these effects over [...]

    • British Courts: “Islam Will Dominate the World” Not a Religious Statement
  • Remember how, after Nidal Hasan killed 13 people on an army base, there were people (the President included) saying his act was not terrorism?

A 21 year old Muslim spray painted the following on a local war memorial: Islam will dominate the world – Osama is on [...]

  • A pair of foster parents in the UK have been charged with abusing numerous kids.

    • Shock Report: BBC a Liberal Hotbed!

    • GOP Congressman Resigns

    John on September 29, 2006 at 1:25 pm

    Congressman from Florida, Rep. Mark Foley resigned today just hours after ABC news questioned him about explicit e-mails sent to house pages (who were under 18).

    As you can see from the comments on ABC’s site, the liberals are out in force blaming this on the hypocrisy of the GOP. Of course it doesn’t factor in that Rep. Foley is openly gay and that all of his remarks were directed at male pages.

    Is the problem here that he’s conservative? Or that he’s gay? Think carefully now. Was he motivated to make sexually explicit comments at young boys by his conservatism or his homosexuality?

      Hello John,
      Since you asked – I’m going to guess that it is because he is a conservative. Since Delay, Ney and now Foley all are conservatives it seems like resignations for sleezy behavior is a conservative thing this year.
      Oh, Yeah, what about Clinton? You liberals who live in glass houses shouldn’t be throwing stones. My God, I am simply amazed at how proficient I am getting at reading your mind, John. It must be ESPN or sumpin. Hey, you asked!

      Actually, I was thinking of Barney Frank who was caught letting his boyfriend run a brothel out of his house. He stayed in office of course, after all he’s a Democrat.

      If you want to say that sleazy fundraising is a Republican issue, fine. I think there’s some evidence to support that (though the sleaze is worse on the Dem side). However, when you try to connect a fondness for teen boys to being a conservative…sorry, no. That’s a whole ‘nother problem, one which people on your side of the aisle are only too eager to ignore.

      I, on the other hand, wrote about it recently in another context.

      It has nothing to do with conservative or liberal thought processes, it is the depraved and evil heart of both parties. Accusing and excusing. Politics is like professional wrestling, it is sometimes entertaining but never real.

      Both sides offer countless examples of hypocrisy. They should be careful about playing the hypocrisy card because whoever plays the last one closest to the election wins that game.

      Isn’t it odd how the initial media reports left out the pesky fact that he is gay?

      Some of the comments on the linked article implied that he claimed to be Christian. Is that true or are they just making the false Republican/Christian assumption? Of course, even if he claimed to be one he is doing one lousy job as a witness.

      I guess its ok if you’re Clinton and it’s a teenage intern.

      She was 22, Richard. Clinton’s behavior was inexcusable. However, since there are degrees of depravity, I would be curious as to what you would consider the least depraved. (1) a 22 year old single girl giving a married man a blow job or (2) a family values single Republican looking to give a 16 year old boy a blow job. Actually I don’t expect you to answer that question. What I really would like to know is why folks from your political persuasion minimize the depravity from your side of the aisle by pointing out someone elses depravity. “Oh yea, I may be fat – but you’re fatter and you’ve got so many freckles it looks like your face was there when the shit hit the fan. So, there!” Sounds pretty childish, doesn’t it. Conservative Republicans cannot clean their own house by throwing dirt on someone elses house.
