Law Enforcement officer explains why he is a homophobe & bigot
:crazy:
I for one am delighted that this guy has the power to arrest people. :sarcasm: Have a good read, he has a loooooooong laundry list of things that make him, well, just hopping mad!

======



By the Liberal definition, am I a politically incorrect, intolerant and insensitive homophobe? Yes, thank God! This article is a departure for me from my normal measured political rhetoric. In many of my articles I've recently replaced some occurrences of "Democrat" with "Liberal" because there are some good Democrats. As usual, Reagan said it perfectly: "The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant, but that they know so much that isn't so." Like Reagan, and for the same reasons, I hope these decent Democrats convert.

Nevertheless, the buzzwords being tossed around by Liberals today exasperate me at times. If you're accused of being "homophobic," "intolerant," "insensitive," or "politically incorrect," you're well, politically incorrect — you're an outcast. Liberals usually have little or no evidence to use against you, so they label you with one of these words in the media. The fact is that the weight of the evidence does not matter to Liberals — only the perseity of the charge. Liberals in the media know this. Let's examine a few of these buzzwords in light of some of today's issues, from a decidedly conservative viewpoint — mine.....

o I am also not tolerant of legalized abortion, which is really just murder on demand. It has nothing at all to do with "women's rights." Nothing.

o I am not tolerant of militant gays and liberal activists who demand all sorts of special protections that the average citizen doesn't get or need.

o I'm getting increasingly intolerant of the leaders I voted for who refuse to seal the borders, especially in light of 9/11. Duh?

o I'm not a diverse individual when it comes to language either. See, I believe that a basic working knowledge of ENGLISH should be mandatory for all legal immigrants before we make them citizens. How cruel that we should make them learn our language — it's the language standard for our country.

o I am not sensitive to the insanely foolish struggle to take God out of nearly every public aspect of American life. He was there at the start, remember? However, I am very sensitive to the fact that we are on the road to leaving future generations of Americans a nation more bereft of decency than we found it, if we don't act quickly and forcefully. We need to act legally, but we need to act now.

o I wasn't very sensitive about the dilemma of a president who lied under oath on national T.V., saying "I did not have sexual relations with that woman." Good role model. I am also not very sensitive today regarding the future of the Democratic Party who defended his abhorrent behavior and subsequent lies.

oAm I homophobic? Yes, I'm terribly homophobic when militant gays demand that we legalize gay marriage, and in doing so, dilute the hallowed institution of traditional marriage forever. I'm homophobic of what it'll do to the country. I'm homophobic of what it'll do to young children discovering their developing sexuality. It can be a confusing time. Who considers their plight in light of the supposed 'right' of gays to marry? I do. I believe that most Americans do too. Call your representatives... now.

"...so they label you with one of these words in the media."

Wow, Officer Bullneck, that's a really salient point, but my eyes got tired after wading through all the well-referenced evidence you've provided. Evidence like... um... well, I'm sure it was there a minute ago.

You sure do like using the word "liberal" a lot though.

4. Pr*cks like him are one reason there are so few...
...women in IT. I bet he was as guilty as any in making sure no 'uppity wimmin' got into HIS IT department. If any managed to get in, they were undoubtedly ignored, harassed, belittled, excluded, credit for their work given to one of the 'guys' (when they were even allowed to do anything but the most menial tasks), and they were undoubtedly slammed out of the 'boys club' that is IT thusly. 'Cause wimmin cain't DO technical work and even if they can, they belong at home barefoot and pregnant, not in a datacenter or messing with servers or networks.... :sarcasm:

5. What worries me is his later-in-life decision to become a cop
Is he prone to trying to right some of these 'wrongs' he observes?

8. Egh...probably so. These neocons have a...
patriarchal attitude and they are arrogant enough (see George bu$h) to think it's their place to police the world and not allow people to 'do wrong' (well what THEY consider 'wrong' in their very narrowminded belief system). He probably thinks it's his 'fatherly duty' to make sure those 'wayward' sheep(le) don't get 'lost'. It's typical neocon self-righteous arrogance and oppressiveness.

With representatives of the organization like that it is easy to see what is wrong in America.

9. Oh yeah, abortion is murder
and rape is a crime, in case you haven't read the statutes. But I bet you are the kind who thinks that a woman can't get pregnant if she's raped. And, oh yes, all homosexuals are pedophiles in your book. Where in Illinois is this cretin located? I want to avoid that part of the state.

15. Really. Lieing to KILL people is A-OK in Guy's book...
...But a get a blow-job and try to hide it?

I hope I never go through the part of Illinois he prowls. He'd probably pull me over, shoot me, and stick that un-registered gun his type always carrys in my hand and swear I tried to kill him...

Fucking mouth-breathing knuckle-dragger. How much you wanna bet he got his IT gig outsourced and decided to become a cop so he could "get back" at the "N******" who stole his job...

12. "Perseity"?
Perseity: "(in medieval philosophy) the quality of those things having substance independently of any real object."

For example, the mind and opinions and ideas of "law enforcement officer" Guy Adams.

34. Absolutely my first thought, too.
This probably means it was a confusing time for him, that he was aware of sexual attraction to men.

If so, maybe he cleansed himself of such thoughts?

18. I love this part....
"I'm homophobic of what it'll do to young children discovering their developing sexuality. It can be a confusing time. Who considers their plight in light of the supposed 'right' of gays to marry? I do."

My guess is that Guy Adams was confused about his "developing sexuality" at some point and feels that if there had been a Gay-Straight Alliance club at his school, he would have ended up "playing for the other team."

I mean, look at the guy...



Does he look straight to you?

He looks the type who has a secret condo in the city where he gets to engage in all manner of kinky activity with (at least) one other man. Then goes home to a CLUELESS wife. :mad:

Is it at this secret condo that he has seen these "militant gays" does he give comfort and assistance to well dressed men with uzi's and grenades? and who decorated the secret condo?

If you're accused of being "homophobic," "intolerant," "insensitive," or "politically incorrect," you're well, a bigoted dickhead.

edit:

Or, in his case, a "decidedly conservative", dangerous fundamentalist bigoted dickhead.

30. what a scary little boy
He's got size 13 issues.

o I am also not tolerant of legalized abortion, which is really just murder on demand. It has nothing at all to do with "women's rights." Nothing.

Mind your own business. Unless you're involved, it has nothing to do with you either, playa.

o I am not tolerant of militant gays and liberal activists who demand all sorts of special protections that the average citizen doesn't get or need.

Who, exactly, is the 'average' citizen? The ones who pay taxes? Well, that includes the militant gays and liberal activists. Who are you to define what the 'average' citizen needs?

o I'm getting increasingly intolerant of the leaders I voted for who refuse to seal the borders, especially in light of 9/11. Duh?

Were you as out of sorts after the Oklahoma City bombing and Nichols McVeigh's trials with regards to militias and explosives? I guess that was ok because it was them, huh?

o I'm not a diverse individual when it comes to language either.

Clearly.

o I am not sensitive to the insanely foolish struggle to take God out of nearly every public aspect of American life.

That's because you follow in the organized religion of the status quo. If you did not, you would not be so puffed up in your pride, which,btw, goes before destruction.

He was there at the start, remember?

Since you bring it up:

The Greatest Commandment
Matthew 22:36-40

"Thou shalt love he Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself (ps--'you don't get to choose your neighbor' is the post script for that one). On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets."

Now, what were you saying again?

However, I am very sensitive to the fact that we are on the road to leaving future generations of Americans a nation more bereft of decency than we found it, if we don't act quickly and forcefully.





Oh! You mean 'decency' like this?

o I wasn't very sensitive about the dilemma of a president who lied under oath on national T.V., saying "I did not have sexual relations with that woman." Good role model. I am also not very sensitive today regarding the future of the Democratic Party who defended his abhorrent behavior and subsequent lies.

Did anyone you know lose their life over Clinton's lie? Was anyone seriously maimed or injured? Were their VA benefits cut back as a result of the injury they incurred from Clinton's lie?

oAm I homophobic? Yes, I'm terribly homophobic when militant gays demand that we legalize gay marriage, and in doing so, dilute the hallowed institution of traditional marriage forever.

How do you feel about shows like "Want to Marry a Millionaire?" How do you feel about marrying for solely economic reasons? What about arranged marriages? Mail order brides? Polygamy and welfare?

I'm homophobic of what it'll do to the country. I'm homophobic of what it'll do to young children discovering their developing sexuality.

A little obsessive about the sexual development of young children you'll never know, aren't you?

It can be a confusing time. Who considers their plight in light of the supposed 'right' of gays to marry? I do. I believe that most Americans do too. Call your representatives... now

There is nothing that a gay couple marrying can do to the stability, legitimacy, sanctity, validity or emotional foundation of anyone's marriage unless that marriage was doomed from the start because it began as an artificial construct.

What kind of a confident, strong man allows all these supposed 'boogeyman' to haunt him into this level of paranoia?

33. Random thoughts on this
1. abortion would seem to have even less to do with a man. I wonder why he has such strong feelings on something he personally will never have to do?

2 . I wonder if he is tolerant of militant anti-gays and republican activists who also demand all sorts of special protections that the average citizen doesn't get or need.

3. Exactly which leaders don’t want to secure the homeland? Certainly not the liberals who came up with the homeland security department.

4. I think many Liberals would welcome more language classes in school. I think most liberals understand the overwhelmingly disadvantages non-English speakers face in OUR country.

5. What struggle? The country was founded on the separation of church and state. The country’s basic principals allow for the freedom to worship. The only current struggle there has ever been is to keep state imposed religion out of this country.

6. Hmm doesn’t everyone lie? I mean is it more important we lie about our sex life or we lie about our military adventures? What is more important to society? What moral values do we show if we support leaders that lie to us about war but hate leaders that lie to us about their personal sex life? It’s not that lying is right or wrong but what lies we chose to draw the line at.

7. Liberals actually don’t care if people are or aren’t homophobic. We just care about equal opportunity and rights. Undermining a persons rights and freedom because you personally feel Icky about them IS immoral.
