You cannot treat everyone the same while at the same time saying you are against SSM. It is an irreconcilable contradiction. I completely support his right to live by his bigotry.

He didn't say he'd treat everyone the same. He said he'd treat them with dignity and respect.

I don't really care what Obama or any other politician believes deep in their heart. As long as he's willing to implement progressive policies (and he has on gay rights), that's what's important.

It's pretty disgusting that you use "gay" as a way to smear people, but to quote Jerry Seinfeld, "I'm not gay...not that there's anything wrong with that."

By all means. Show where I used 'gay' as a means to smear someone.

"treat every person with honor, dignity and respect - regardless of their belief, race, creed, sexual orientation or gender."

you cannot make that claim and be against SSM. it's pretty straightforward.

It speaks VOLUMES about how much he 'cares' or about his values. It speaks volumes about how he views the gay community. Of course...why SHOULD he 'value' the gay community since they so easily sell out their own 'values' when it comes to politics.

VanceMack said:
you continue to confirm the point. He doesn't give a **** about the gay community. He sees them as a tool...as a vote, and nothing more. And since you do readily compromise your 'values', why shouldn't he see you that way? Must suck to be a token.

Nice subtle switch of pronouns there. Implication: "You're gay, and that's bad."

Like the fact that chicken sandwiches, and biscuits have to be politicized now?

There is nothing 'subtle' about that...I'm simply speaking truth. You completely sell out your values in the name of politics which means you have no values. That has nothin to do with your sexual preference and everything to do wtih your individual lack of character. You want to blame ME because the candidate you vote for couldn't give a **** about you...just your vote? You want to blame me because YOU allow it? Sure baby...whatever makes you feel all better about yourself. :lamo

Good ****ing god it doesn't get more stupid than this.

Clue 1: many gay people are conservatives. How are they selling out there beliefs by voting for conservative candidates who do not stand with them on gay issues, but do on every other issue?

Clue 2: many gay people are liberal, but gay issues are not the ones that they consider most important to them

Clue 3: if both candidates are against some gay rights, but one is willing to support gays in others while one is not, which do you think gay people who vote on gay issues is going to vote for?

Clue 4: is there seriously a candidate out there that you agree with on every single ****ing issue? Does voting for the one who agrees with you on more issues than the other one mean you are somehow bound to accept that candidates position on every issue?

Clue 5: this whole thing has exactly jack and **** to do with Obama. Why are you trying to make it about him? Maybe you should seek an ODS cure.

Remember, every time you eat a sandwitch from there, you are giving money to people who want to brainwash you into wanting dick.

Oh, and they gave money to focus on the family, so you are giving money to people who would love to bring back stoning as the punishment for being gay.

And that's never going to happen, so it's good that they waste their money.

What about me? Are they brainwashing me into wanting dick? I'm with Your Star, ***** tastes better.
 
Interesting how you never hear about conservatives boycotting any business for being pro gay marriage. Who are the intolerant ones here? Who are the ones that want to force you to act and think the "correct" way?

Like I said, I really don't care if Obama or any other politician "gives a **** about me," as long as they implement good policies. If you want to feel all warm and fuzzy and pretend that your candidate of choice cares about you personally, that's your decision. But I like to be a bit more rational than that. :2wave:

They did purge the Dixie Chicks from playlists when they said something against Bush, however.

Plenty of conservatives boycott plenty of things because of politics, so stop trying to play "holier than thou," cause that chik don't fly.

Conservatives don't boycott over gay issues? You want to ask Disney about that?
 
Furiounova said:
So chik had no problem selling out to a pro gay group for profit then said:

Representatives for Chick-Fil-A were not immediately available for comment on Monday, but the company posted on their Facebook page last week that their restaurants "treat every person with honor, dignity and respect - regardless of their belief, race, creed, sexual orientation or gender."

That's completely false considering their comments against SSM.

No it is not Show me where a Chick Fil A restaurant did not treat someone with "honor, dignity and respect - regardless of their belief, race, creed, sexual orientation or gender." Unlike the bigots boycotting this restaurant based on their religion and creed.

Did you see the **** the owner said? Did you see the list of groups that Chik-Fil-A donates to?

One church, the Southern Baptist boycotted Disney over it's gay day. That is a far cry from a national boycott of a fast food restaurant by dem's in general and Dem politicians in specific like the mayor of Chicago saying he won't let those restaurants in his city. HUGE DIFFERENCE!

Dixie chicks were not boycotted they just lost fans and I was one of their biggest. They went to a foreign country and disrespected our president, then they came home and dissed their fans. We stopped listening to them and the radio stopped playing them. No organized boycott, just honest reaction. If you can find one boycott by mainstream reps over something like this chic thing I will be very surprised. I sure never heard of one.
