Texas GOP Platform Advocates Criminalizing Gay Marriage, Banning Strip Clubs...

I am just laughing at how hypocritical the Republicans, and the Religious right are when they claim they want government out of our lives. :peace

The Texas GOP Just keeps on making us the laughing stock of the political arena another South Caraliona. :sarcasticclap:sarcasticclap. :(
 
I love it when all of these people rag on Texas for being stupid crazy rednecks who,.. actually do a helluvalot more than most other states when it comes to aerospace, engineering, computer technology, etc. I'd rather live in a state that balances it's budget and doesn't have a state income tax if it means that people are going to frown upon my dildo collection (which is the only thing they can do now, there weren't enough stupid crazy rednecks who apparently make up the entire population of texas, to keep the law). Hey, what about all of those hayseed HICKS in Houston who don't have zoning laws and who have an open lesbian for mayor? What about all of those christian fascist RUBES who had the decency to evacuate it's citizens during hurricane Katrina? Yeah, I'm going to enjoy the freedom to pound dildos into my ass when I'm dead floating down a flooded ally way in Louisiana.

You Texas critics need to be objective for once. Is homosexuality really that important to all of you? Give me a break! We should be highlighting everything that's great about Texas, not crapping all over it because it's aggressive policies against gays and pornography. I love Texas and if there is a God I hope he blesses it. i wonder what you Texas critics would say if every city in Texas had a thriving gay community like Houston. You all would probably change your minds just to continue this mindless nonobjective hate towards Texas and Texans. Matter of fact I'm quite sure that you all would since you ignore cities like Dallas and Houston and other great cities in this great state.

How come California is never targeted for being a state full of crazy rednecks who hate gay people? What? Because of Hollywood?

Pure muddaforking madness.

Sure if you compare Texas with Louisiana or Alabama :) Yea you do.. well the Federal Government does by placing NASA and other federal agencies in the state :) As for computer technology.. you wont beat California for a while.

I'd rather live in a state that balances it's budget

Budget Woes Cloud Texas Governor's Re-Election - WSJ.com

But as the state's budget shortfall widens—to as much as $18 billion, or about 20% of the next two-year budget, according to the state legislature's latest analysis released earlier this month

So much for that balance the budget thing eh?

and doesn't have a state income tax

Good for you, but then again you have a 18 billion hole to fill now... I am guessing income tax or some other sorts of taxes are coming, because no way in hell will Texas find 18 billion to cut.

if it means that people are going to frown upon my dildo collection (which is the only thing they can do now, there weren't enough stupid crazy rednecks who apparently make up the entire population of texas, to keep the law).

It aint about frowning over your dildo collection.. it is about throwing your arse in jail for having one.

Hey, what about all of those hayseed HICKS in Houston who don't have zoning laws and who have an open lesbian for mayor?

Big city people usually are not as nuts as the folks in the bush :)

What about all of those christian fascist RUBES who had the decency to evacuate it's citizens during hurricane Katrina?

What about them? How about the paedophile cult that Texas allows within its borders? Oh yea they are Christian.. then it is okay!

Yeah, I'm going to enjoy the freedom to pound dildos into my ass when I'm dead floating down a flooded ally way in Louisiana.

No because that would be illegal and you would go to jail if these freaks had their way. Which I might add.. is the whole point.

Nope, all they can do is frown Texas Dildo Law Goes Limp « The Legal Satyricon

Yes, a whole lot of things would be illegal if any group of people anywhere had their way.

Anyways, let's keep pretending that Texas never gave notable contributions to aerospace, aviation, microprocessors for digital signal processing, semiconductors, embeded systems and the oil industry. Let's treat Texas like it's a third world nation because Texas doesn't have Hollywood or whatever it is liberals are so fascinated with. It's just some crazy state filled with awful people that we all must not be like since everyone is apparently barefoot and picking at their boogers and walking around with shotgun loaded just in case there's a queer on way to the outhouse.

Anyone that looks at Texas objectively will appreciate the State and not condemn it for pety crap unless of course it's a leftist mating call to criticize Texas or something.
 
YAY, SM is back!
 
No, it was a matter of your equating te gayz with pedos that reminded me of that video, but are you actually serious? Do you not know the difference between pedophilia and homosexuality? Was that priest comment a joke?

Its a well established fact that gays are more likely to be pedos.
 

Not only is the gay rights movement upfront in its desire to legitimize sex with children, but whether indexed by population reports of molestation, pedophile convictions, or teacher-pupil assaults, there is a strong, disproportionate association between child molestation and homosexuality. Ann Landers’ claim that homosexuals molest children at no higher a rate than heterosexuals do is untrue. The assertion by gay leaders and the American Psychological Association that a homosexual is less likely than a heterosexual to molest children is patently false.

This is the most bigotted bunch of crap I have ever heard in my life, and I would appreciate it if you do not propogate this offensive and downright untrue propoganda again...
 

The author of that article is not reliable:

Cameron's credibility was also questioned outside of academia. In his written opinion in Baker v. Wade (1985), Judge Buchmeyer of the U.S. District Court of Dallas referred to "Cameron's sworn statement that 'homosexuals abuse children at a proportionately greater incident than do heterosexuals,'" and concluded that "Dr. Paul Cameron...has himself made misrepresentations to this Court" and that "There has been no fraud or misrepresentations except by Dr. Cameron" (p.536).9

6The full NPA resolution read as follows:

The science and profession of psychology in Nebraska as represented by the Nebraska Psychological Association, formally dissociates itself from the representations and interpretations of scientific literature offered by Dr. Paul Cameron in his writings and public statements on sexuality. Further, the Nebraska Psychological Association would like it known that Dr. Cameron is not a member of the Association. Dr. Cameron was recently dropped from membership in the American Psychological Association for a violation of the Preamble to the Ethical Principles of Psychologists.

7A copy of the full ASA resolution in Acrobat PDF format can be downloaded. It read as follows:

WHEREAS Dr. Paul Cameron, a psychologist, was dropped from membership in The American Psychological Association for violation of the Preamble to the Ethical Principles of Psychologists;

WHEREAS Dr. Paul Cameron has been presented in the media as a sociologist;

WHEREAS Dr. Paul Cameron has consistently misinterpreted and misrepresented sociological research on sexuality, homosexuality, and lesbianism;

WHEREAS Dr. Paul Cameron has repeatedly campaigned for the abrogation of the civil rights of lesbians and gay men, substantiating his call on the basis of his distorted interpretation of this research;

WHEREAS the American Sociological Association is on record as opposing oppressive actions against lesbians and gay men and affirming its commitment to their civil rights;

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED: THAT the Association reaffirms its opposition to efforts to undermine the civil rights of lesbians and gay men through the distortion of sociological concepts and the falsifying of sociological research; and

THAT the Association articulates this opposition by charging the Committee on the Status of Homosexuals in Sociology with the task of critically evaluating and publicly responding to the work of Dr. Paul Cameron.

9On page 536 of his opinion, Judge Buchmeyer noted the following examples of misrepresentations by Cameron to the Court:

"(i) his sworn statement that "homosexuals are approximately 43 times more apt to commit crimes than is the general population" is a total distortion of the Kinsey data upon which he relies – which, as is obvious to anyone who reads the report, concerns data from a non-representative sample of delinquent homosexuals (and Dr. Cameron compares this group to college and non-college heterosexuals);

(ii) his sworn statement that "homosexuals abuse children at a proportionately greater incident than do heterosexuals" is based upon the same distorted data – and, the Court notes, is directly contrary to other evidence presented at trial besides the testimony of Dr. Simon and Dr. Marmour. (553 F. Supp. 1121 at 1130 n.18.)"

Paul Cameron Bio and Fact Sheet

Even IF you assume that a man molesting a boy is a homosexual (a baseless assumption, btw), your link itself shows that the *majority* of abusers were heterosexual, or at worst, 50/50. So what were you trying to prove, exactly? That it's a well known fact that heterosexuals facilitate more sexual abuse than homosexuals? Because that's pretty much what you showed. :lol:

Its not baseless to assume that a man who gets exicted about a male body is gay.

Nice try. The fact is, however, that a higher percentage of gays are pedophiles than the percentage of straights that are pedophiles, and by a large margin.
 
Genetic Fallacy

How is it a genetic fallacy? The guy runs a pure anti-gay website, therefore you take what he says understanding his bias. Secondly the studies in which he quotes never say anything over 50% were because of homosexuals. One study has it was 34-36% and the second said 45% had homosexual experiences, not that they were homosexual. Third and I will repeat this. The man is obviously anti-gay and was kicked out of the APA for Ethical Principles. Therefore the source you linked is not creditable.

The APA was foreced to accept the gay agenda due to political reasons. If you reject Cameron then you must also reject them.

It is when you're talking about a person who gets excited by a pre-pubescent.

LMFAO I'd LOVE to see evidence of that so-called "fact". Because your link [even if we pretend that it's factual in the slightest ] shows that the majority of child molesters are heterosexuals. And not only that, but MALE. Overwhelmingly MALE. If we follow your [non] logic, men shouldn't be allowed around children at all.
