The President's Speech Tonight

Facts are pesky little buggers, aren't they! Here is a little photo for 1986 that might help you get through the day . . . Amnesty Signing in 1986, expanded by Executive Action one year later by Uncle Ronnie.

Previous presidents who used their executive authority to shield undocumented immigrants confronted little of the fury that Mr. Obama now faces, in part because their actions affected fewer people and the issue was not as polarizing at the time.

So it is okay for people to bring lawsuits to ask the court system to overturn gun control laws that are thought to be too restrictive but not okay for people to bring lawsuits to ask the court to overturn laws that ban gay marriage?

"Deviant lifestyle"??? When did anyone make you the person in charge of determining what is or is not a deviant lifestyle? I'm sure frequenting a hooker website would be thought of as a "deviant lifestyle" by many conservatives. Originally Posted by SpeedRacerXXX

As for as deviants go, anything that is outside the norm is by definition deviant. So fly your freak flag proudly and accept your deviance. Unless of course that playing with hookers is far more mainstream (you have to include everyone, not just conservatives) that you want to believe then what we are doing is normal and not deviant. Since the Secret Service can do it, it must be pretty normal. Shoving your cock up some guys ass is still in the small minority.

The definition you cited says NOTHING about percentages. The majority of the people in the U.S. support gay marriage. 35 states have legalized gay marriage. I would say that in today's U.S. gay marriage is an "accepted standard" by the majority of the people.

Jews make up less than 5% of the U.S. population. Is their behavior "deviant"? Originally Posted by SpeedRacerXXX

It is the courts that are passing it into law by overturning established law that marriage is between a man and a woman. The same courts that once decided that all slaves must be returned to their masters. That separate and equal was okay. What Jewish behavior are you talking about? Watch out, your bigotry might be showing if you think that just being Jewish is out of step.

Only 5% of the population engages in homosexual activities, speedy. The vast majority of people are NOT homosexual nor do they engage in homosexual -- deviant -- sexual acts, speedy. Hence, by definition homosexual acts are not "usual or accepted" in the bedrooms of the vast majority of the American public, speedy, and until 50% of the population actively and routinely engages in the deviant sexual acts your moronic ass is so vociferously defending, those acts will never be anything other than "deviant".

I simply do not put name tags on people or groups of people. Liberal? Conservative? Gay? Straight? Bi? Deviant? You simply condemn to Hell those that disagree with your viewpoints. I most certainly defend the rights of people to engage in gay activities. People like you put name tags on them as "deviates". I try to be "open-minded, something that you definitely are NOT.
Obama is goading the GOP into self destructive behavior and it will work because he's already calculated they can't help themselves due to the Obama derangement syndrome. I just think he's the smartest guy in the room to be honest. There are a few Republican politico's that understand what Obama is doing and how he's baiting the GOP. He's setting them up for failure beautifully. Originally Posted by Zanzibar789

The smartest guy in the room? Yes, I'm sure there have been instances where that's been the case. Perhaps, for example, when he's been in a closed door meeting with Valerie Jarrett and a few other members of his Star Chamber-style collection of flunkies.

Barack Obama sure has spearheaded an effective economic and political agenda, hasn't he? Creating a massive new entitlement program that currently clocks in at a 37% Gallup approval rating is quite an accomplishment, isn't it? (As is maintaining an overall approval rating that hangs around in the 40% range.)

And how about the losses of approximately 76 Democratic Party House and 14 Senate seats since 2010? Quite an impressive performance for any party's standard-bearer!

Perhaps if Obama were a football coach, he'd advocate giving up three quick, cheap first-quarter touchdowns in order to get the opposing team overconfident.

Veritably Machiavellian, that Barack Obama.

A decade ago, G. W. Bush seemed hell-bent on becoming the best thing that had happened to the Democratic Party in many years.

Now Obama seems intent on returning the favor by transmogrifying himself into a perfect bookend!

(But in all fairness, perhaps we just need for Professor Gruber to weigh in and 'splain why most of us are just too stupid to grasp the wonderfulness of all this stuff.)

My comment on Judaism was to make a point -- any social or sexual behavior by less than 5% of the population, is NOT to be automatically considered deviant behavior.

BTW, based on your definitions of "abnormal" or "deviant" sexual behavior, my wife and I would have to be included in that category. We are swingers. Certainly less than 5% of the adult population engage in such perverse sexual activity. Do you condemn us too?
