ACLU’s Latest Lawsuit: Suing to Get the 2002 Convention Against Torture Opinion

WilliamOckham #12 said,

While at the ACLU’s site, I noticed they asking the DoD about this question from one of the DoD’s personnel department’s “antiterrorism” refresher course:

Which of the following is an example of low-level terrorism activity?
o Attacking the Pentagon
o IEDs
o Hate crimes against racial groups
o Protests

According to the DoD, the right answer is ‘Protests’. Think about how many terrorists we have. That would include most everybody in a union, pro-life and pro-choice folks, the teabaggers, the anti-globablization folks, the civil rights movement, but most hilariously, my mom.

I think it’s time to get the ACLU to print up bumper stickers that say:

“This is an LLTA”

Pony up everybody, send them some money.

I'd spit at him:

"Who in hell needs YOUR approval, you bigoted fuck!! What do we want?...HUSBANDS!! When do we want them?...NOW! Cross-Species SOLIDARITY!!"

How nice he has given his okay to the Penquins that may be gay!! Guess after the incited murder of Dr. Tiller he felt he needed to give a little. Penquins are safe, he won't be around them.

yes Bill 'God made them that way' and who are you to question, or berate, it in any species?
Even if sexual preference is a choice, who is any one to second guess the divine right/ability to make that choice, it is been offered up as within the realm of possiblities.
Seems the Moderates and Left need only sit back and let these intellectually challenged folks finally spin their way around to the most obvious logical conclusions- trick is getting them to stop spinning once they do.

Tonight on MSNBC:
"Bill O'Reilly seen coming out of a Manhattan nightclub with German penguin. Claims he and Fritz are just good friends and that's all there is to it. Compromising photos of O'Reilly lying on his back eating raw fish being regurgitated by Fritz are said to exist however."

they are of no threat to him. I don't know about the wolves or whales in Alaska.

... can we also blame God for making Bill O'Reilly a loudmouthed idiot? Or has he done that all by himself?

I absolutely loved the double take Dennis Miller does at Billo's comment!

So Billo thinks we should lay off the gay penguins because "God" "made them that way." Well, what makes Billo think "God" didn't make humans gay and lesbian? The answer lies in two parts: (1) There is no "God," unless by "God" Billo means nature, and (2) even if there were a "God," it wouldn't make any difference to dogmatists like Billo, who believe, despite mounting scientific evidence to the contrary, that gays are made, not born. As long as the Christian right accepts the misguided notion that being gay is a choice, not an innate quality, they will go on making distinctions between penguins and humans (other than the obvious fact that penguins are birds and humans are humans).

One of the more hidebound evangelicals, during the Propositon 8 debate, proudly proclaimed that homosexuals are "proof that there's no such thing as evolution." Perhaps the gay penguins prove just the opposite. Despite anti-gay arguments to the contrary, homosexuality is widely found in the animal kingdom; in fact, when a male "lower" animal cannot find a suitable female partner, they have no compunction about screwing another male, or trying to: it's a basic instinct/drive.

Also, inherent in the "homosexual" = "no evolution" argument is an ugly side to fundamentalist anti-homosexuality. The argument pre-supposes that gays are somehow "subhuman," which is precisely what the Nazis believed of Jews in Germany and the Nazi Quslings of Croatia believed of Serbs in what would become Yugoslavia. This kind of thinking eventually leads to the unthinkable, and it is precisely what we are seeing today in Iraq and other Muslim nations, where gays are beheaded just for being gay. Shame on these people! Shame! Shame!

Shame on Bill O'Reilly, the nation's Number One Bigot.

...He makes gay penguins probably to just taunt the self-made humane gays. He works in such mysterious ways.

Remember gays, that Sodam (the whole city, men, women, and children) was clearly destroyed by God because of homosexuality, even though He says "Love thy neighbor." So please behave.

Bile, is just trying to save your souls.

Jefferson once said: Ignorance is preferable to error, and he is less remote from the truth who believes nothing than he who believes what is wrong.

Are God and O'Bilely one in the same?
