Please don't assume emotions are where you think they are or what you think they are. Your "emotions" are no more a part of this discussion than mine. I am responding to the charge that Sullivan was a racist sympathizer. If that is not what you meant to say or if i misinterpreted them, then fine my bad. But otherwise it's hogwash.

I didn't make any such charge. I said that he published an article which made that case. He did. Your interpretations of his motives in doing so, and sticking a spoke in the wheel of universal healthcare, and accusing people who didn't support the war of being a "fifth column," are your own.

Dear Jim,I feel sorry for you. I really do - the cognitive dissonance must be nearly unbearable. Whatever formative incident warped your mind into the reactionary mess it is today, it must have been incredibly hard to reconcile with knowing that the sexuality you were born with would make your fellow RWNJs despise you as sub-human. Don't expect them to spare you now that you've come out of the closet. Oh, sure, there will be some who will use you the way that they've used Ben Carson - a 'less-than' token they can point to to reassure themselves that there are some right thinking gays and blacks who know their place - but the bulk of the remainder will vilify you for existing. You certainly will no longer be one of "them" - though it is unclear to me why anyone would want to be one of "them", as hate-filled as they are . But you must have known this would be so. So how can you justify in your own mind the persecution of others, knowing that you as a gay man would eventually be one of the hunted, too? I'm sure some smart psychologist knows the answer, and can help you out of the morass of self-hatred and twisted justifications for hating others you've built your life out of. You'll be a happier person after therapy, I promise.Lark

Funny you mention Cthulhu; isn't an HP Love Craft a computer optimized for, er, graphical Internet browsing?

Well, they do lubricate the economy... or so we're told. And that function is crucial in either setting.

Unreal. State-Run Media Suppresses Fact...That is, indeed, unreal - unless it happened in, say, N. Korea

Here's a headline that will really take the gays down a notch:BREAKING NEWS: Stupidest Man On The Internet is Gay!

He's in it for the money - and the easy money is RWNJ money.
