Mark Segal: The True “Self-Loather”

It’s no surprise to me that activist types and those out there who make being gay 99% of what makes them up as a human beings will avoid having to come up with logical debate techniques other than “you’re stupid” or “you’re a Nazi” to make their point.  After all, these are liberal-gay men we’re talking about here.  But you would think that the ones crying the hardest for gay rights would avoid using “you’re gay” as an insult.

In this hilarious piece of journalism, Mark Segal of Philadelphia Gay News decided to pen a column citing anonymous sources that declare Ann Coulter as being a lesbian.  Okay, fine.  So, we are declaring that Ann Coulter might be gay, do you have a follow-up point?

Apparently not.  Unless of course talking about the use of sex toys can be considered a legitimate political argument that is going to strengthen the path to gay rights in this country. 

This is one of those activist-types that I warn the gay community about.  They begin their articles with a flaming title “Mark My Words”  (probably with a hand on his hip and following up with “gurrrrlfriend”) and immediately begin the attack by labeling their subject (Ann Coulter) as someone who is homophobic. 

He then mentions Coulter’s “support” of Mary Cheney’s baby, only to further it with more insults:

“Ms. Coulter’s support of Mary Cheney’s new baby should not be confused with the idea that she wishes to become just another pregnant lesbian herself. She rejected that path after numerous attempts with the turkey-baster method. And like the vice president’s daughter, she does not believe in the new domestic-partners legislation legalizing lesbian marriages, and therefore does not wish to give birth to a bastard — many of course would say like the child’s mother.”

To begin with, Mary Cheney is an advocate for gay rights, as she has mentioned over and over again.  But see, to insane liberal-activists like Mark Segal, casting your vote while keeping in mind that there are other issues out there to be dealt with such as terrorism is a completely self-loathing and homophobic thing to do.

I only wonder why he didn’t attack Tammy Bruce in this column?  We know that she is gay, supports the President’s war policies, owns a gun, and simutaneously supports progressive rights.  At least he would have had a solid start.

If Ann Coulter is straight, I know that she doesn’t hate me.  If Ann Coulter is gay, I welcome her to the land of gay conservatives that recognize the true damage that idiot activist types like this are doing to our community.

Word To Your Mullah!

I’m constantly amazed at the international community’s tolerance of Iran.  I’ve always said that, in retrospect, we should have ignored Sadaam and gone after the nutjobs in Persia.  Nevertheless, we are stuck with a theocracy and an insane madman, Ahmadinejad, who threaten to destabilize the Middle East and place nuclear weapons into the hands of terrorists.  So what do we do?

 ENGAGE THEM! (of course)

Taking a page from the Madeline Albright and Bill Richardson book of “How To Appease Dictators To Make Friends,” the Bush administration has decided to engage Iran despite Iranian obstinance on important matters, its obvious sponsorship of terrorists, and its refusal to give up the pursuit of nuclear weapons.  If you don’t understand the threat posed by the mullahs, I would simply refer you to this piece by Caroline Glick, a Jerusalem Post commentator.

Russia, France and China consistently coddle this dictatorship, buying them the precious time they need to complete their pursuit of nuclear weapons.  Israel, who has been threatened with extermination by Iran, and the US should be actively working to stifle the threat.  This is not to mention Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Egypt – all Sunni nations who are inherently threatened by Iranian hegemony.  Nevertheless – everyone seems to be covering for Iran.

Pressure on the US from Europe and the Democrats has led the Bush administration to engage in pointless talks with Iran.  The spineless government of Israeli PM, Ehud Olmert, has backed down and sought to entertain discussion with Iran’s puppet state – Syria.  The Middle East “moderates” have taken a stance of appeasing Iran in the naive hope that they can limit Iran’s threat to supporting insurgencies in Afghanistan and Iraq (they’re next – trust me). Europe and China?  Don’t make me laugh.

I don’t know the answer to solve the Iran problem, but I do know this -

  1. The US should not be engaging in talks with the #1 terrorist sponsor on the planet.  We have never dealt with terrorists in the past.  Why start now?
  2. Israel needs to elect Benjamin Netanyahu and his Likud party so that the nation of Israel will have a chance.
  3. Businesses in the US must refrain from any investments in any companies that have anything to do with Iran.
  4. Someone needs to splash some cold water on Saudi Arabia et al and make them realize that Shi’ite Iran will kick their Sunni butts in a New York second if given the opportunity.

Don’t look for Iran to change simply because the international community chooses to engage them or because Olmert chooses to ignore them.  The mullahs only understand one language – resolve.  Just as Iran is resolved to develop nuclear weapons and finance terrorist activites, the international community should be equally resolved to stop the #1 threat on the globe today.  Until that time, Iran will continue their activities and look to buy themselves time and cover for their dangerous pursuits in any deceptive manner possible.

Barack Obama: The Great Communicator?

Calm down Ronald Reagan lovers.  It’s just a joke.

I’ve been watching the spar between Obama and Clinton in the last week as the only thing Barack seems to be going on is how he didn’t vote for going into Iraq (while simutaneously avoiding mentioning the fact that he wasn’t even there). 

Now suddenly, Barack wants to encourage diplomacy with leaders that clearly hate the United States and some of our most prominent allies like Israel. 

Speaking of communicating, let’s see how Reagan handled a couple of his moments of communication:

1.) Reagan communicated brilliantly with the Soviet Union while putting massive pressure on them economically and brought an end to the Cold War — something that liberals like to give Gorbachev credit for as admitting success on behalf of an American-Conservative President like Ronald Reagan is totally unacceptable.  (no wonder liberals love communism.)

2.) The great communicator, Ronald Reagan, did his best to establish diplomacy in Lebanon in 1982 by establishing a peace-keeping force between Muslims and Christians.  The Muslim side hated America from the get go and even though Democratic members of Congress were begging for more “diplomacy” from President Reagan, the loving Muslims still hated America and blew up our embassies in Beirut as well as our marine barracks within the span of about a year.  This was certainly one act of diplomacy that did not work even though Reagan gave it his best shot.

Moreover; President Bill Clinton in 1994 tried diplomacy with North Korea by sending Madeline Albright with a basketball signed by Michael Jordan and a sweet deal that gave the North Koreans billions of dollars, reactors, and the capability to build more nukes in exchange for a promise that North Korea wasn’t going to build any, Clinton even sweetened the deal further by agreeing to not let weapons inspectors in for five years afterwards.  That worked out great!

I am wondering why Americans are so surprised that a Democratic Presidential candidate is talking about diplomacy as a way of dealing with our enemies.  This is news?  The better questions should be: “What will Barack give to the North Koreans?”  “What will he give to Iran?” 

Finally, the Bush administration and Condoleezza Rice have not closed their doors to diplomacy.  They have countless sanctions, have applied political and economical pressure to our enemies and where has it gotten them?

This is what I think Fred Thompson or Giuliani need to run on — the Democrats’ harp about diplomacy and the factual cases of utter failure from the same party in the past.

They Really Really Like Me….

After I wrote my “Apologies to atheists” post last week, a nice and very smart fella by the name of Michael Krahn suggested that I look into Digital Journal to publish a few of my postings.

After receiving a lot of personal outside e-mails on my post about gay rights, I decided to combine that with my latest rant about Elizabeth Edwards using gay rights as a new issue (since attempting to roust Ann Coulter failed) to gain more popularity for her husband (who was happy to run along John Kerry 3.5 years ago who vocally opposed gay marriage).

In any case, I got a few reads on Digital Journal and received a mini-award this morning.  Nothing too big, but I am happy to share it with my best blogging-friends.

The article mentioning the weeks best submissions stated the following:

“Also worth noting was another Digital Journal rookie who made a splash with a thoroughly researched piece on the liberal view of gay rights. GayConservative takes home this week’s TopPolitics Award for letting his opinions fly in a post also steeped in facts. He proclaimed some bold statements, such as “All evidence proves that the goal of the Democratic party remains to keep blacks and gays in a sick-victim state to serve at their electoral pleasure.” Thought-provoking conclusion, GayConservative, and no matter where readers stand, they should realize it’s important to read a post that dives deep into an issue that will likely be at the forefront of the presidential debates in 2008.”
