QOTD - Big Ot

In Baghdad, Shias pretend to be Sunnis and Sunnis pretend to be Shia to avoid being slaughtered. Israel's losing soldiers to Hezbollah and Hamas while strafing civilian targets. Kashmiri rebels are blowing the shit out of commuters and Darfur's too horrific to describe in a single sentence.

Back here at home we don't have wide-spread escalated violence due to religious, cultural or regional differences. Instead, those itchin for a fight with no natural enemy, have to invent reasons to hate people and deny them rights.

So, who yer fuckin' it is then.

Inside the Times, the slant continued, with two large photographs of gay activists protesting and consoling one another, arm in arm, about the court decision. Why not a photo of a traditional marriage supporter celebrating the ruling? Because it seems to be in every national-media rulebook that the "gay marriage" story must be accompanied by gay activists protesting, kissing, cheering or "marrying." Only one side matters.

Yes, you read that correctly. The Gay Games.

Who would sponsor this stupidity? The New York Times is not alone; it is joined by other "objective" news outlets.

They share the Gay Games' goals, to "foster and augment the self-respect of lesbians and gay men throughout the world and to engender respect and understanding from the nongay world."

Got that, nongays? Whatever happened to "objective" media outlets at least pretending to avoid taking sides? This is the essence of political correctness: It is better to violate openly your commitment to journalistic standards than assist the "bigots" by attempting to appear fair and neutral.

well Brent, if the opposition made one whit of sense and or played fair on the issue of equality, defending the underdogs wouldn't seem so bloody lop-sided... imagine the columns Brent might have written about Selma Alabama using this same logic.

That's just crazy. But by placing its famous name squarely on the side of the gay left, The New York Times is sending a message to America's solid majority against putting thousands of years of tradition through the shredder. It says: You're all intolerant bigots on the wrong side of history, and you will be defeated, even if we have to make utter asses of ourselves in the process.

methinks the only ass in this equation is the author of this article.
