Seems every other place on the web you will find anger, name calling, and bitterness when any "political" issue is raised. I like it here :-)<br /><br />As for gay rights being political, I guess for the moment it is just that. Just South of me in Iowa legislation has changed ... it is still the same here. Strange that people living in the same country can have different laws that may apply to practically neighbors.<br /><br />Thanks for a interesting exchange of thoughts. <br /><br />Will I be sent to the dungeon???<br /><br />LOLSpeedcat Hollydalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01207240842689917922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25698471.post-44581129902109561632009-04-22T20:07:00.000-04:002009-04-22T20:07:00.000-04:00Breath!
No ... I certainly do not think you would...Breath!<br /><br />No ... I certainly do not think you would approve of the president shaking hands with Bin Ladin. Maybe in an "over-reactive" way I was making light of the media frenzy. The thing about Chavez is that you will actually find support for the man amoung communists in our country. They LIKE him. Not much is said about Chavez and his ties with extreamists, rebels, and leaders that would love to see America destroyed.<br />Your reference to Bush is very much true of all our past presidents. They do face a thin line of diplomacy and rejecting radical idealism when traveling the globe.Speedcat Hollydalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01207240842689917922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25698471.post-35850849047599320902009-04-22T20:06:00.000-04:002009-04-22T20:06:00.000-04:00Eric - My "Radical Right" was more an attempt at h...<B>Eric</B> - My "Radical Right" was more an attempt at humorous alliteration than a categorization of her politics. I actually applaud the fact that she had the guts to answer the question truthfully for herself and not cave to political correctness. The question was actually about states rights and legislation, not her own belief system. But when contestants are coached to respond "I personally believe...." as a preamble to every answer, I guess the personal beliefs tend to follow.<br /><br />I said, <I>"I totally respect your radical right to express an opposing view.</I> was a COMPLIMENT as in "I admire your guts" (perhaps I didn't make that clear) and not a branding or criticism of our difference of opinion on the issue. Strike that. I hate the term "political" in the context of the gay rights controversy. I prefer to think of it as a human discussion about human beings and their individuality.<br /><br />That being said, I love this part of your comment, <I>"We are doomed as a country if we cannot get passed our differences. Maybe someday we will see a person, not a liberal or conservative, gay or strait, black or white. "Just a human" ... with equal and God given rights to be as we are without judgement."</I>I also wish that people on different sides of the issues (as you and I sometimes are) could stop jumping to conclusions based on our party affiliations. All Democrats do not believe the same things. Neither do all Republicans. I love the varying shades of grey between all of us. <br /><br />I respect your opinions, Speedy. Thank you for commenting and being passionate about your <br />beliefs.<br />I will never boo you here.<br />Neither should she have been.Mimi Lenoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01616635898420835541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25698471.post-73424466022968124612009-04-22T19:49:00.000-04:002009-04-22T19:49:00.000-04:00Eric - I recall a similar bristle when former Pres...<B>Eric</B> - I recall a similar bristle when former President Bush invited Vladmir Putin to his Texas ranch and then visited Russia. Different scenario. Same bristle.<br /><br />My spoof of the "greetings" President Obama has used throughout his foreign visits and summit talks are just that: spoofs. I made reference to the Queen of England, including pirates and planks and even Obama's dog. I used a picture of Chavez to illustrate my point (he looks as though he is high-fiving and holding up my fictitious <I>Etiquette</I> book). The handshake that apparently has shaken the world is a hot topic of discussion these days. I neither condoned or condemned it. My use of his picture is in no way a political curtsy to one of the worst critics of my country. <br /><br />I am surprised that you would consider <I>"I don't blame you for shaking the President's hand. A curtsy would have been just rude"</I> as anything but a disregard for the importance given the whole buzz about the handshake controversy in the first place, perhaps even a joke at the expense of Chavez. And I sincerely hope you are not suggesting that I would think it acceptable for the President of the United States to shake hands with Osama Bin Ladin.<br /><br />Taking a breath.....moving on to Miss California.Mimi Lenoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01616635898420835541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25698471.post-75766638922122953132009-04-22T18:15:00.000-04:002009-04-22T18:15:00.000-04:00Akelamlau - Yes, in Arkansas.

What if everyone was asked this same question? Facts are that the country is pretty well split on gay marriage. This means <I>statistically</I> that about half of the pageant contestants would have answered the same way, OR LIED. <br /><br />As much as I think Miss America is a bunk showcase of talent / intellect ... lets be honest here. Every winner looks the same - perfect. It seems now you need to be hot AND liberal. Imagine for a moment that this situation was turned around the other way, and a contestant was scutinized for being pro gay marriage. There would be protests all over the country!!<br /><br />Radical right? Constitutional Right. <br /><br />It was a Very Stupid question ... <I>she was not running for public office</I>. Now, if a contestant said she was gay, that would be different - and she would deserve fair treatment as well. <br /><br />We are doomed as a country if we cannot get passed our differences.
