Those of us heterosexuals who do not comply with our limp-wristed overlords will be sent to the lube mines.

actually uses the mandatory pilot retirement age in his arsenal of arguments against gay marriage

Kind of a sore subject with me. Back in 2008 they raised the pilot retirement age from 60 to 65. While this allows me to work 5 more years, it also put a 5-year hold on any career advancement I might have had.

“Hurry up and die you old bastard and get out of my seat!”

Yes on this day when we remember sacrifice and loss I too feel called to risk being exposed to insane bigoted rantings to gather mangoes along the lawless foreign shores of the wingnut and bring them back for my fellow citizens, for freedom.

“First of all, as a Christian, I accept that God gave us the institution of marriage and that the union of one man and one woman is the foundation of every social institution the world over.”

I had no idea that the DMV was premised on the heterosexual union of a couple in the eyes of God. Also, Mormons. And every society before Constantine’s Roman Empire.

He quotes a study saying kids with married parents do better than kids without. And this is an argument against letting gay people get married and raising kids. But to be fair he probably doesn’t want them raising kids in general because ick amirite.

“If a liberal throws out the “discrimination” charge remind him that his position requires discrimination as well.”

This is at the end of the article. Guess what the argument for this assertion is correctly and I’ll give you one Memorial Day dollar. No peeking! Ready . . .

That’s right! There is absolutely none! Memorial Day dollars for everybody.

It’s interesting that Hulu censored that Family Guy clip – it used to be “cowboy buttsex” IIRC.

Hey Major, can’t you just challenge him to a knife fight?

From last thread, thanx to Thread Bear for the musik, especially Adrian Belew and Todd Rundgren. (I always loved the bass work on it, especially the bridge before the last verse!) Made my day brighter.

Spreeking of which, I was accepted into the Intensive Outpatient Clinic and inprocessed last Thursday. I start tomorrow.

Thanks for the good wishes, Provider. I will also be hanging around Sadlyville today. Here’s hoping everyone has wonderful weather and splendid things to do.

((And here’s a snappy parade-ground salute for Wiley and the Major and other Sadly veterans. But mostly for the ones who are maimed or gone.))

Thanks Fenwick.

The Road to Amnesia

And yet, when it comes to the major war the United States is still fighting, now in its 11th year, the word remembrance is surely inappropriate, as is the “Memorial” in Memorial Day. It’s not just that the dead of the Afghan War have largely been tossed down the memory hole of history (even if they do get official attention on Memorial Day itself). Even the fact that Americans are still dying in Afghanistan seems largely to have been forgotten, along with the war itself.

P.S. It’s not just Americans.

Hey, I think that because we won the Revolutionary War, anyone with the name “Trevor” should be sent back.

Cracker Barrel

Is there any restaurant more fittingly named?

Because commercial pilots have to retire at age 60, there is no reason why gay marriage shouldn’t be banned.

Or maybe they should be allowed to be married for 60 years, then given a pension* with their annulment?

this battle is not, nor has it ever been, about … discrimination. …the pro-same-sex marriage movement is an attempt to morally legitimize homosexual behavior.

Which is gross and totally needs to be controlled by letting people treat gay folks like crap merely for being gay, from making them second class citizens(at best) to firing them to calling it a mental illness to throwing them in prison. But yeah, TOTALLY not about discrimination.

*hee hee first serendipitously spelled “penison.”

Hey, I think that because we won the Revolutionary War, anyone with the name “Trevor” should be sent back.

But what about Steve Trevor?

Why do you hate Captain America?!

Also Trevor Horn, Trevor Rabin and Trevor Bruess.

It should be noted that Captain America’s name is Steve Rogers. Steve Trevor is Wonder Woman’s boyfriend.

I just woke up after a night of shitty sleep. I apologise.

Maybe Trevor’s unaware that heterosexuals already engage in the same type of sexual activity that gay men and lesbians engage in.

Now, granted, it may be a minority of straight men and women who take it in the butt (and probably far more straight women let their husbands/boyfriends go the back door route than straight men taking their wives/girlfriends’ strapons) but oral sex is a pretty common activity between straight couples.

From the bio on his blog (first sentence):

“I was born in 1969… and have lived all my life in Northeast Georgia.”

That pretty much sums it up.

Hey, now, I was born in ’69 and lived most of my life in NE Georgia. The Google says he’s from Gainesville, though, while I’m from Athens, which does make a difference.

IE does not resolve the URI. Thanks for trying Tintin, but the 404 site not found only made more curious about getting off the boat.

Hyperlink needs an “l” at the end. As in .html Probs to indicate how big an “L” the post is.

[Tintin adds:Fixed. Blame it on Steve Jobs. I am at the beach and did it on my iPad. (The Photoshop too. Yay, Photoshop Touch!!)]

So a real dilemma for the left here lies not in their efforts to gain acceptance of same-sex marriage; rather, how they would (eventually) discriminate and define marriage?

I draw the line at honey badger because honey badger doesn’t care.

Also problematic for liberals: upon what moral code would this definition rest?

Satan’s. Next question.

I was born in Gainesville. Fortunately my parents moved when I was 3 months old.

However, I suspect that the real efforts of liberals (whether some realize it or not) in the marriage debate is not simply “marriage equality.” Many in this debate have been deceived, for, you see, ultimately, this battle is not, nor has it ever been, about marriage or discrimination. … In other words, the pro-same-sex marriage movement is an attempt to morally legitimize homosexual behavior. … This is about sex.

However, I suspect that the real efforts of foodies (whether some realize it or not) in the seafood debate is not simply “eating shellfish.” Many in this debate have been deceived, for, you see, ultimately, this battle is not, nor has it ever been, about eating or seafood. … In other words, the pro-eating shellfish movement is an attempt to morally legitimize shrimp cocktail behavior. … This is about prawns.

[See Leviticus 11:10]

Maybe Trevor’s unaware that heterosexuals already engage in the same type of sexual activity that gay men and lesbians engage in.

I am pretty confident that Trevor is personally unaware of heterosexuals actually having any kind of sex, though he may have heard about third hand.

OTOH, non-rotted mangos. SRSLY.

A debate between two devout G-d fearin’ conservatives in teh thread. I know we all enjoy bashing teh self-hating tragedy that is Dan Blart, Mall GOP – but if actual ghey conservatives talked to their ideological brethren about their experiences teh way that truelinguist does,,, Okay, then teh conservatives would totally ignore them and keep on with teh whole “GHEY!!!! EEEUUUUWWWWW!!!!”

In case teh troll-o-link-er-ator of teh Intarb00bs rolls American Stinker readers here and truelinguist actually reads this –

Despite teh fact that we probably disagree on way more than not, I think it’s wrnog for him to be subjected to all that bullshit. That having a long-term monogamous relationship lasting decades is officially worth less to his society than a week-long celebrity marriage, or some other d00ds seventh or eighth edition of teh newer, younger wife. Bullshit is what it is.

I also empathasize that teh one person over there that’s conversing with you continues to beat on teh whole “merely an inconvenience” drum despite the fact that you addressed it earlier with this:

It’s far more than simply inconvenience, cost and even unequal treatment, however. Despite the fact that our lives are completely intertwined—as intertwined as any couple that has been together for decades—the law thinks of us as completely unrelated. That means that at every turn—from applying for loans to making medical decisions for one another or getting medical or private information about the other, to someday whichever of us survives claiming the body of the deceased— we are treated as unrelated, legal strangers.

That’s more than an “inconvenience.” I’ve known couples where the survivor was kicked out of the apartment when his partner died, and where, by the time the partner could prove a connection, her partner of 30 some years had died in ICU. There are cases where only one parent is legally recognized as the parent, despite the fact that both are raising the child.

The point is that marriage matters in thousands of ways, both little and small, and many are completely unpredictable—until you need it (usually at time of crisis).

That’s one of the reasons that so many opposite-sex couples get married—- even atheists. It’s about establishing and protecting a relationship under the law.

Doug Kmiec, professor of constitutional law at Pepperdine University, also hinted at this in his 2005 Becket Fund (a nonprofit institute dedicated to protecting freedom of religion) paper when he wrote, “Were federal equal protection or substantive due process to be construed to require states to license same-sex marriage, those who have profound moral or religious objection to the social affirmation of homosexual conduct would be argued to be the out-liers of civil society.” Therefore, he argues that churches could be targeted for legal penalties and disadvantages as were universities that participated in racial discrimination decades ago.

Umm…and that was…bad?

Sorry, Jennifer! In all honesty bragging that he’s live in one place all his life probably means he’d still be that unquestioning acceptor of received wisdom no matter where the place was. Bless his heart.

OMFG.

I asked you last evening whether the exclusion of homosexuals from marriages results in inconveniences or wrongs. You’ve persuaded me the exclusion can result in inconveniences that add up to wrongs.

If you were to tell me that I’d read an American Thinker comment thread and feel better about teh state of humanity afterwards,,,

THROUGH TEH LOOKING GLASS HERE SHEEPLES!

This is why I believe in that long arc of the moral universe bending towards your mom’s mouth. Long, thick and throbbing. Uh, where was I?

Teh whole thing about plans surviving contact with teh “enemy”. Alienating and demonizing Teh Other – don’t work so well when Teh Other refuses to stay alienated or act like demons. Sure people have the inbuilt ability to ignore things. To discount obvious facts staring them in teh face. But in some instances, like with this guy, it requires actual effort to do so. And every time a person is forced to affirm their pointless and irrational dehumaizing of another – there’s an opportunity for that affirmation to fail.

I was born in Gainesville. Fortunately my parents moved when I was 3 months old.

I have a stepdaughter that lives in Gainesville. Didn’t seem like too bad a place except for being overrun with college students.

re: Doug Kmiec.

Paper cited is from 2005. He’s had a sort of change of heart since then.

Direct the state to employ non-marriage terminology for all couples,,,

if you have nothing better to do on Memorial Day and you know that you do not.

Why the motherfucken fucke does he make his entire family wear long-sleeve black shirts!?!?!?!?!?

http://www.trevorgrantthomas.com/trevorbio.html

THATTE IS SICKE!!!!!!!!

He quotes a study saying kids with married parents do better than kids without.

I shall trust the shorter as my master Tintin has instructed. It’s probably the study they always trot out. They neglect to mention that the study did not compare married parents but two-parent households versus one-parent. They also regularly neglect to cite the studies which show that children in same-sex two-parent households do as well (actually, _better_ but we don’t need to go there) as two-parent mommyandpoppy families.

So in conclusion, tongue jack my shit box.

Also, too, since, I am trusting the shorter, and not, going to that place, their web site, I have to ask, is the excerpt, above, typical of the rest, being marked by comma diarrhea? ,

JP – I’d help you out but I don’t do the twat thing. Yes, I know you knew that but I mean the Internet thing – twat twit taunt – whatever it is.

Why the motherfucken fucke does he make his entire family wear long-sleeve black shirts!

That’s creepy. It’s like Damien from The Omen grew up and had a family.

re, comment, comma, diarrhea,,,

Actually no. Perhaps I shouldn’t be answering this – glass houses and all – but he seems to favour – the em-dash (and bracketed comments as well).

Although, I see, where, you, may have, formed, that opinion.

Many in this debate have been deceived, for, you see, ultimately, this battle is not, nor has it ever been, about marriage or discrimination.

Always relevant.

Now, granted, it may be a minority of straight men and women who take it in the butt (and probably far more straight women let their husbands/boyfriends go the back door route than straight men taking their wives/girlfriends’ strapons)

Based on the sex talk on reddit I would say that it’s a generational thing and that the current generation is much more into it than previous generations.

I will state my support for mandatory buttseks – everybody should try it at least twice (if you don’t like it the first time maybe you did it wrong so try again). I’m not saying everyone will enjoy it but odds are good that you will.

Based on the sex talk on reddit I would say that it’s a generational thing and that the current generation is much more into it than previous generations.

The younger generation is a bunch of sicko preverts! Why when I was young we didn’t do the things we liked and the things we did do we didn’t try to improve. HARUMPH.

It’s about sex, huh?

No need to say more.

So this is where everybody has been hanging….Nice. I guess the lot of you can consider yourselves lucky as i single-handedly brought the unbeknownst to me dead thread, back on topic with a cerberization of some of the nro comments to the Sowell thread…

Carryover from last tred – Provider(etc.) made a comment about Lemay as inspiration for the Burt Lancaster role in Seven Days in May. Just yesterday Teh Ho read Lemay’s biography. That’s why we are now watching Discovery channel wings XB-70 on teh yootube, which Lemay was pushing. YIL that Lemay ran with George Wallace. My.

Marriage is just the means to a more sinister end for the homosexual movement…

Yes, the homosexual movement is all about those sinister ends.

It’s about sex, huh?

No need to say more.

It is always about one of three things, Sex (ur doing it wrong), Uppity brown people (and the race traitors who think they are actually humans that are capable of thinking for themselves), and Uppity Womenz (and the Sex traitors, that respect them as human beings capable of thinking for themselves.

I mean if you think about it that is pretty much all they got….one last thing, so that makes four things they could be on about at any given time: “That is my money”

If there is anything else that any of you can think of that do not fit into these four categories, i would really like to hear about it.

happy m-day to all of the Sadlies, Veterans, or serving. And that goes out to any food service workers in the house.

OT, although I got stuck working today, tommorow I am taking off for 2 and a half weeks holiday. I don’t have any of them thar fancy mobile internet devices, so you probably won’t hear from me for a bit. Just wanted to let you know – I ain’t ded.

Teh wiki has jogged my memory. I did recall the Wallace campaign but didn’t remember that Lemay was his running mate. Hey, I was only about 10 years old, give me a break. Then I read about Lemay suggesting the use of nukes in Nam. THAT I remember, just didn’t recall it was Lemay.

I hang out cluelessly in dead threads all the time, talking to myself. It can be fun under the right circumstances.

Lemay as inspiration for the Burt Lancaster role in Seven Days in May.

I had almost forgotten, i still have it paused from like 4-5 hours ago. Lemay was a piece of work. Though i haven’t researched his particular history in depth, but your read it so often from contemporaries of his.

Thanks for the reminder pup.

Wooooohooooo!!!!

TB, have a blast and get home at least a couple of days before you have to get back to work, unless you love your job that is.

I thought zombies hated the heat, or is that just Walking Dead?

I don’t actually watch/read much zombie stuff.

Someone in the swamp said that contracts should be valid everywhere blah blah but marriages in a church have always been and should remain a man and a woman. (I can’t be arsed to see if she said ONE man, ONE woman but whatever. I doan wanna gin up to comment so I’ll put my response here.

Many of your coreligionists disagree. There are quite a few Christian churches who will officiate same sex marriages. In the church. Then you have the Jews – quite a few rabbis perform same sex marriages.

No one is saying that churches who do not want to do it have to do it. Don’t you think the church members should decide for themselves? Why don’t you respect their freedom of religion?

Lemay was a piece of work.

Sometimes there’s a fine line between genius and insanity. I put Lemay fairly high up on the genius/insanity list. I’d say as he got older he went more towards the insanity side of the line.

Lemay and General Powers were the inspiration for both the George C. Scott and Sterling Hayden characters in Dr. Strangelove.

Sometimes there’s a fine line between genius and insanity.

I’d say Usually, but point taken.

That’s why we are now watching Discovery channel wings XB-70 on teh yootube,

Amazing. Flying fucking antiques. The B-52 was introduced in what, 1953 or something? Just fucking amazing.

Hey, guess who was described as being “built like a B-52” on yesterday’s Mad Men? I’m not an expert, but are B-52s known for having giant breasts?

Hey Major, can’t you just challenge him to a knife fight?
I would fly with that airline. Best in-flight entertainment EVAH.

An awesome letter written by a former slave to his prior master. From ABL at BJ who Got it From Loomis at LGF. Ahnd I first read the thing a Ta Nahisi Coatse’s, Joint. So do enjoy.

Dayton, Ohio, August 7th, 1865. Printed in the New York Tribune, August 22nd, 1865. To My Old Master, Colonel P.H. (“Henry”) Anderson, Big Spring, Tennessee

Sir:

I got your letter and was glad to find you had not forgotten Jourdon, and that you wanted me to come back and live with you again, promising to do better for me than anybody else can. I have often felt uneasy about you. I thought the Yankees would have hung you long before this for harboring Rebs they found at your house. I suppose they never heard about your going to Col. Martin’s to kill the Union soldier that was left by his company in their stable. Although you shot at me twice before I left you, I did not want to hear of your being hurt, and am glad you are still living. It would do me good to go back to the dear old home again and see Miss Mary and Miss Martha and Allen, Esther, Green, and Lee. Give my love to them all, and tell them I hope we will meet in the better world, if not in this. I would have gone back to see you all when I was working in the Nashville hospital, but one of the neighbors told me Henry intended to shoot me if he ever got a chance.

I want to know particularly what the good chance is you propose to give me. I am doing tolerably well here; I get $25 a month, with victuals and clothing; have a comfortable home for Mandy (the folks here call her Mrs. Anderson), and the children, Milly, Jane and Grundy, go to school and are learning well; the teacher says Grundy has a head for a preacher. They go to Sunday- School, and Mandy and me attend church regularly. We are kindly treated; sometimes we overhear others saying, “The colored people were slaves” down in Tennessee. The children feel hurt when they hear such remarks, but I tell them it was no disgrace in Tennessee to belong to Col. Anderson. Many darkies would have been proud, as I used to was, to call you master. Now, if you will write and say what wages you will give me, I will be better able to decide whether it would be to my advantage to move back again.

As to my freedom, which you say I can have, there is nothing to be gained on that score, as I got my free-papers in 1864 from the Provost- Marshal- General of the Department of Nashville. Mandy says she would be afraid to go back without some proof that you are sincerely disposed to treat us justly and kindly—and we have concluded to test your sincerity by asking you to send us our wages for the time we served you. This will make us forget and forgive old scores, and rely on your justice and friendship in the future. I served you faithfully for thirty-two years and Mandy twenty years. At $25 a month for me, and $2 a week for Mandy, our earnings would amount to $11,680. Add to this the interest for the time our wages has been kept back and deduct what you paid for our clothing and three doctor’s visits to me, and pulling a tooth for Mandy, and the balance will show what we are in justice entitled to. Please send the money by Adams Express, in care of V. Winters, esq, Dayton, Ohio. If you fail to pay us for faithful labors in the past we can have little faith in your promises in the future. We trust the good Maker has opened your eyes to the wrongs which you and your fathers have done to me and my fathers, in making us toil for you for generations without recompense. Here I draw my wages every Saturday night, but in Tennessee there was never any pay day for the Negroes any more than for the horses and cows. Surely there will be a day of reckoning for those who defraud the laborer of his hire.

In answering this letter please state if there would be any safety for my Milly and Jane, who are now grown up and both good-looking girls. You know how it was with Matilda and Catherine. I would rather stay here and starve and die if it comes to that than have my girls brought to shame by the violence and wickedness of their young masters. You will also please state if there has been any schools opened for the colored children in your neighborhood, the great desire of my life now is to give my children an education, and have them form virtuous habits.

P.S.—Say howdy to George Carter, and thank him for taking the pistol from you when you were shooting at me.

From your old servant,

Jourdon Anderson

Per Captain America, beefcake made with hamburger helper.

Got back to watching Seven days in May (screenplay by Rod Serling) and in one scene Douglas’ character recognizes the Generals car. I think to myself “that thing has lines reminiscent of a Jaguar” and while you never get a really clear or long shot of the car i am pretty sure that I have tracked it down to a 1963 Jaguar Mark X Sweet ride. I guess that the Chairman JCS brings home a little scratch.

Jags in the early 1960s were relatively affordable. One of the selling points of the E-Type was that it was (relatively) low priced for the performance it had.

I had a 1995 XJ12. Sexy car. Looked great on the lift at the Jag dealer, where it spent most of its time.

Kurt wanders around in a daze, wondering what the hell he will do and lands in Houston TX where he falls in with a rough crowd. rough but appreciative of his … talents.

A high-school class required that everyone write and deliver a “Modest Proposal” style thing. I was kind of dismayed by how many people in an AP class failed to understand the nature of the prompt – and equally dismayed at the well-meaning English professor lady trying to get two dozen people to do comedy in front of a captive audience – but “mandatory gay marriage between religious conservatives” was the one I went for, and it went over surprisingly well on shock value alone.

Belly bacon (the strip kind, as opposed to back bacon) is much nicer when crisp. If I wanted a chunk of limp, greasy porkfat in my mouth I’d fellate Rush.

Best bacon ever.

Can’t say because I haven’t tried it, but my local farmers-market butcher makes some pretty damn good bacon:

I told him that if he ever retires I’ll have to become vegetarian.

M., I prefer my bacon flabby, but hubby prefers it crisp.

I smuggled home a couple pounds of pea-meal bacon (back bacon coated with corn meal) in my suitcase last time I was in Toronto Leafs Suck.

This thread is beginning to smell a lot like bacon.

“Mmmmmmmmm baconnnnnnnn” – H. Simpson

Internet fetishization of bacon aside (and I do find it irksome), I feel obliged to mention that last Saturday I tried, of all things, a bacon and egg popsicle.

Before you wrinkle your nose in dismay, consider that egg == egg-rich vanilla custard and bacon == carmelized bacon (effectively a sort of salted caramel) and you find, as I did, that it’s not bad at all. (That said, there’s other flavors these popsicle makers make that I like even more.)

They’re tearing up our old carpet and installing laminate floors upstairs over the next 3 days.

It sounds like they’re taking the house apart right now.

The poor cat is cowering down in the basement.

Even I have my limits…I’d spend a couple three weeks nomming on it though.

Shorter Dukey: Can y’all ignore the law and let me play wit mah guns?

Sorry Duke, no can do.

Tough on crime, zero tolerance don’t ya know.

Can’t have some bleeding heart liberal judge letting you off with a slap on the wrist.

I will state my support for mandatory buttseks – everybody should try it at least twice (if you don’t like it the first time maybe you did it wrong so try again). I’m not saying everyone will enjoy it but odds are good that you will.

Pup, if God wanted us to have buttsex, it would have loaded the anus with nerve endings.

Sadly, Trevor, no. It’s 65.

Rmoney to critics: Sure, Trump’s stubbornness and inability to acknowledge facts may hurt my campaign in the long run, but I need the cash.

What does he need guns for, he’s already shot himself in the foot!

Best part is, I imagine he’s lost his voting rights as well. Nice to see a wingnut hoist on his own petard.

Alternatively, if god didn’t want men to get buttfucked why did he put our g-spot up our bums?

Pro or Con re: teh Buttsecks? Pupienus for the Pro stated “Alternatively, if god didn’t want men to get buttfucked why did he put our g-spot up our bums?”

Methinks Pup doth prostate too much!

Yes, I am a buttsecks pro. Practice makes perfect!

So, if Trevor cites mandatory retirement of pilots at age 60, he must be against people over the age of 60 getting married.

Do not tempt me like that. I still haven’t finished (and may never at this rate) bbkf’s painter-of-light request.
