For people who live<br />their lives in fear of those arrogant egghead scientists<br />(who got lots of wedgies in gym class and who are themselves trying<br />to get theirs back by intimidating the jocks through their<br />fearmongering). For people who are too stupid to see what's<br />**really** going on with these "revenge of the nerds"<br />intimidation tactics.<br /><br />And **all** "liberal" males, remember, are just wussses who<br />are trying to get a measure of self-respect by "cheating"<br />and subverting the natural male hierarchy (in alliance, of<br />course, with those awful feminists and fags).<br /><br />Whereas Newt, and the real men of Oklahoma, are alpha males<br />who live their lives with gusto and continue to administer<br />wedgies to their inferiors. And put gun racks in SUVs.<br /><br />It's a whole world view in a single sentence. George Lakoff<br />could write a book about it. ;->jimfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04975754342950063440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956838.post-41616519010315255282012-02-20T17:45:05.424-08:002012-02-20T17:45:05.424-08:00> I find it striking just how insulting to Okla...> I find it striking just how insulting to Oklahomans'<br />> intelligence Gingrich is being here, but also how<br />> transparent he is in his unconcealed gratitude at<br />> that stupidity. . .<br /><br />Bill Maher on Newt Gingrich:<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0W9cei3aTAjimfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04975754342950063440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956838.post-4556604682368916362012-02-20T17:41:25.171-08:002012-02-20T17:41:25.171-08:00There was a recent article on Queerty (which I got...There was a recent article on Queerty (which I got to from your<br />blog roll) about a Mitt Romney campaign big-wig in Arizona<br />(one Sheriff Paul Babeu -- who looks kind of like Victor Fehrenbach,<br />but chubbier) having to resign after being outed as a<br />result of a spat with his ex-boyfriend (so what else is new?)<br /><br />There were some interesting remarks in the comment thread --<br />e.g.,<br /><br />http://www.queerty.com/romneys-az-co-chair-comes-out-resigns-after-ex-claims-he-threatened-deportation-20120220/<br />------------------------<br />No. 14<br /><br />Simply put, Republican politicians are, for lack of a better word,<br />afraid of gays for fear they’ll lose their support from organized religion.<br />This is no secret. We gay Republicans are simply more concerned<br />with the country than we are with our own personal agenda. It’s<br />not a difficult equation, but for some reason the LGBT community<br />sees us as traitors, self-haters, Uncle Toms, etc, which is as<br />absurd as ridiculing a straight white man for being a Democrat.<br />Are Democrats more open to gays and gay issues? Inarguably, yes,<br />they are. However, I don’t view the country in terms of gay<br />and straight—I look at right and wrong.<br /><br />No. 18<br /><br />I used to be a hard-core Republican (pre-Bush years;) but their<br />stance on gay rights is completely deplorable. I agree with a<br />number of fiscal and foreign policy stances by the Republican party;<br />but I’m not about to support them with a “that’s close enough for me”<br />attitude. Politicians need to understand and respect that they<br />are tasked with representing a variety of people; gay, straight,<br />christian, atheist, etc. I don’t trust any politician that panders<br />to a particular subset, period. . . Republicans seem to be going with<br />“what’s the craziest thing I can say today?” when it comes to EVERYTHING;<br />gay rights, the economy, immigration, etc.<br />------------------------<br /><br />So -- reason to vote Republican, even if you're gay: because you're<br />more concerned with the country than with your own personal<br />agenda.jimfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04975754342950063440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956838.post-44144321445354905752012-02-20T16:45:02.912-08:002012-02-20T16:45:02.912-08:00Gun Racks for Tricycles!Gun Racks for Tricycles!Dale Carricohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02811055279887722298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956838.post-27347598923083017652012-02-20T16:06:10.926-08:002012-02-20T16:06:10.926-08:00Also, you can put a gun rack on anything (includin...Also, you can put a gun rack on anything (including a bicycle). <br /><br />Here Newt displays a considerable ignorance of both firearms, cars, and the ingenuity of the average hillbilly.Chad Lotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07532435215151055258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956838.post-83024796362165525082012-02-20T14:34:51.255-08:002012-02-20T14:34:51.255-08:00I find it striking just how insulting to Oklahoman...I find it striking just how insulting to Oklahomans' intelligence Gingrich is being here, but also how transparent he is in his unconcealed gratitude at that stupidity he is assuming about them, his unabashed admission of how the GOP at this point really relies on such stupidity for whatever purchase it might have on national affairs.Dale Carricohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02811055279887722298noreply@blogger.com
