The most progressive lgbt democrat platform ever.

Democrats Ratify Most Pro-LGBT Platform Ever

Could there be a clearer choice in this election?

Yeah.
Exit poll: Gay voters made up 5 percent of 2012 electorate.

Why do LGBT count more than straight people?
I couldn't care less about LGBT.
I've never treated LGBT people any different that I want to be treated.
If LGBT people are somehow "special" why not me and mine?
Was the Miami massacre a hate crime against LGBT people committed
by a shooter with an Islamic background?
Was THAT a hate crime?????
HELL YES IT WAS A HATE CRIME!
IT WAS MASS MURDER BORN OF RADICAL
ISLAM.

Sadly the gov'ment has yet to proclaim it a hate crime.
Or did I miss something

 

[esmith]

The political expediency of supporting LBG is settled and I am confident that the Clinton's support is now rock solid. Because I trust them to be politically expedient.
The T thing, not so much. There is still a lot of controversy about that and I would not bank on their support after the election unless people are ready to hold their toes to the fire.
Tom

That is unless she determines it is not in her best interest.

 

[jeager106]

You not caring is why we should be taking gay interests into consideration.
People not caring about the LGBT is why they were oppressed so long.


I don't see why you bring up this particular instance.
Most hate crime towards gays is done by Christians.

Yes this ^^^ is sadly true.
But WHAT Christians. Any specific denomination or group?
Besides the one bunch of Bible fundamentalists that use their OPINION of whey
those bigoted bastages THINK the Bible says.
Anyone using the Bible to promote hate is NOT a follower of Christ.

Read this twist on hate crimes:

http://www.infowars.com/hate-crime-gays-brutally-beat-christians-in-america/

Gay activists BEAT preacher.
Seems hatred and violence know no bounds.
So much for agape love what?

I have NOTHING against LGBT or straight.
How petty to hate because of someones sexual preferences.
I'm straight and like females. Anyone wanting to hate me for that is welcome
to let me live rent free in their minds.
As for me I have much more important issues to deal with.
Like the bass in the pond out back that quit biting.
Now THAT is an issue!
Did I mention that I am straight and my A.A. sponsor is an openly gay man?
When we see one another at A.A. functions he kisses me.
He kisses my fiance too.
I am not offended in the least because I love him also.
Does that make me a "little miss Mary"?
No.
Perhaps some "he men" think me bisexual. I'm not, but they can let me live rent
free in their minds if they like.
I'm still puzzled as to why the fish quit biting.
Am I a bit on the effeminate side?
YES.
And I would not trade my gentile side for anything.
It makes me open minded, feeling, emotional, compassionate, and STRONG!
And able to love a gay man without having a sexual motive.

But it is not just gays, it is everyone who has a lbgt child, brother, sister, mother, father, friend. It is not just the gays, it is also the allies. It is anyone who is even a halfway decent human being, that is who should be in favour of equal rights. Anyone who has any sense of morality should be deeply offended by the republican platform.

[jeager106]

Oh good, you have the foundation of individual analysis.
Try applying that to Islam

Islam is o.k.
It's RADICAL Islam that commits horrific acts of violence I have issues with.
Get that?
RADICAL.
MURDER.
BOMBINGS.

^^^^^ RADICAL Islam.
Can I make that even more clear for you?
JIHAD = RADICAL.
Go here to see the picture of the week.

Miami massacre?
Boston Marathon?
Twin Towers?
Name ONE other modern religion that commits so many atrocities in the name of some "god".
Pleeeease??????
By and large Islam is still living with the code of ethics 700 years old.
Listen: There is a large beautiful mosque not far from where I live.
I've BEEN there and was treated and welcomed warmly.
I have great respect for Islam.
It's RADICAL Islam that attacks the rest of humanity.
Get it?

There are about 2.1 BILLION Muslims in the world today.
ONLY 15% support or approve of Radical Islam.
Comforting what?
By the by. What is 15% of 2.1 BILLION?

http://michellemalkin.com/2006/10/15/19-million-muslims-for-jihadand-thats-just-in-indonesia/

19 million in Indonesia alone support violent jihad.
The thing is Islam really is the religion of peace.
It's a shame so many Islamic followers support Jihad.
It's a shame "Jihad" has been twisted out of context by Radicals because Jihad
does not mean bombing, beheading, murder, etc.
Bombing, murder, tossing suspected homosexuals off roof tops, ramming
hijacked airliners into tall buildings does NOT promote a religion.
Islam was never meant to mean any of those atrocities.
Most ALL today's religions matured past that kind of violence.
Even Christians!

There is still a great deal of Christian extremism. Here in America we've had abortion clinic bombers, Uganda has the Lord's Resistance Army, and Asia has Eastern Lightning.

..and I'm not a "right winger".
I'll vote for and support a "left winger" in a heart beat if that candidate has a better
platform.
Fact is when I registered to vote long ago I registered as independent.

The U.S. has far LESS murders committed by the "religious" right than those committed
across the WORLD by radical Islam.
The Christian Bible does not contain 109 verses promoting religious "jihad".
Other questions???
Perhaps a bit of light research would have answered your questions.

It's up to us voters to try to steer things in the direction
of rights for all.

1. Supported a war that looted their resources and created ISIS that throw and stone gay people as a sport.
2. Has close ties with Saudi that behead gay people but berates Uganda on their laws.
(No oil, no support for inhumanity)
3. Supported gay marriage after her party abd Obama officially endorsed it.

You don't see the Muslims telling their people to kill, cook, and eat civilians either, unlike some Christian radicals. It's pointless to try and play such games, because when we look at the bigger picture, the bulk majority of both Muslim and Christian radicals are coming from the same parts of the world, which are places that are plagued with war, poverty, as well as political and social instability. It doesn't matter what banners they wave and fight under, the conditions they live under are, at best, a breeding ground for radicalization and violence.

You are absolutely right.
Radical Islam has only been around for about 700 years.
I'm sure if all were gainfully employed they'd assimilate into a non violent society.


By the way. Being as you are a well thought of member and prolific poster here
I have deal of a life time to offer you.
DIRT CHEAP swamp land in Florida is going to boom sometime within the next 2,000 years.

NAME the Christian Radicals that command to cook and eat other humans.

Why are you blaming her for those things? You think she sets the policies? She doesn't. Politicians actually don't have that much power, especially one person. The DoD pretty much does what it wants. Yes, Libya was a mistake and we need to move towards energy independence by ramping up renewable energy and nuclear power, but that's how it is right now.

So it's "uncivilized Africa" when it's Christians doing it, but even though a good chunk of Islamic Terrorists are African, it is Islam and not "uncivilized Africa?"

It's all I know of. But that's not the point. It's the fact that there are violent radicals of both religions, and the overwhelming majority of them are coming from the same exact places, but we're only going to blame one of the religions? When it comes to sacred books, the Muslims are instructed to learn from the Bible, as it contains the teachings of Allah's prophets. You can find a lot of what ISIS is doing going on throughout the Old Testament, but it wasn't Muslims acting like savages, it was the Jews. And then it became the Christians, and we're still dealing with their extremists today, and still dealing with the social inequalities that exist because of someone's own interpretation of the Bible. And, let's not forget, Hitler was very much for "God and Country." He even mentions it several times in Mein Kampf.
I don't blame religion, I blame people. We call ourselves civilized, but we allow for the continued military dominance of nations throughout the world. We turn a blind eye to it. When our corporations are sucking up every last dime a local community has because they are outsiders who own everything, you'll even find Marxists who are complaining that a nation can't form their own national bourgeoisie class. The crippling debt from the Faustian Contacts offered to small nations by organizations like the IMF isn't something you're going to hear about on cable news or even the local news. We, the "civilized ones," let all that crap go on. It's happening here, but we're so caught up in our own vanity we don't notice or care about anything. I actually even agree with Bin Laden on many points of his complaints about American civilization (and for @Revoltingest I have to mention lawn care was one of them, lol), but you don't see wanting to blow myself up and kill people over such things.
So, basically, as we see throughout history, the dominant nation has exploited so much that its citizens are drunk with lives so far removed from anything meaningful that those in power start doing really bad things end up happening. America, it seems, just isn't going to last long enough to be a Han, or Roman, or Ottoman Empire in the pages of history. Definitely for it's size and the amount of global military disturbances it caused, but in terms of years we lived hard and died young.
