Dennis Hastert Hid His Skeletons As He Pushed Anti-Gay Agenda http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/06/06/dennis-hastert-anti-gay-_n_7521394.html

That article basically equates being a sexual predator to being gay for the purpose of scoring political points......nice.

you should know the answer. Gay agenda, pro and con, are political shell games for both awful parties and their worthless minions.

Well, I get that I guess you're right.

What gets me is the how so many conservative men are gay and totally contradict their own beliefs/lifestyles and lead the charge against gay rights. I get why gays are activist --- they have a personal, vested interest in the issue. So why do gay conservative men commonly live in the closet and fight gay rights so hard? They viscerally and energetically work against those issues and then after hours hook up with dudes. Whatever. I just don't get the serial hypocrisy.

Ted haggard is another one. Any more, you hear "republican sex scandal" and chances are it's a gay thing.

I've done things that I would never want to be legal. Maybe they disgust themselves.

But you don't keep doing it while trying keep everybody else from doing it.

It is bizarre. There's no denying that.

Sure I do. People who drive like asshole are always bitching about people who drive like assholes. You contradict yourself constantly on this board and run and hide like your brother when called out. People are shameless.

That's exactly what I'd expect a Hastert/Mehlman clone to say.

Why are Obama and his minions so adversarial to the gays, lesbians, straights, men, women, blacks, Hispanics, ad nauseum, by creating such an economic F-show environment that they cannot find jobs? What do they have against mankind itself? Why the hate on employment? People gotta have it.

There are now more people unemployed since the worst years of the Carter administration, more women unemployed than in the last 27 years, 40% of those not working are not even looking for jobs any longer and -- hold on to your seats -- the U.S. economy actually contracted 0.7% in the first quarter of this year.

I especially like the editorial from the Hoover Institute guy.... from 1990.
