Fuck every single one of you homophobic crackers that voted for your homophobic cracker amendments. America is dead and yoiu fucking killed it. Now Hitler is going to think he has an open mandate to take away even more of rights, your money, your jobs and your blood.

Just so you know, the legislation to reinstate the draft was sponsored by a New York leftist Democrat — Charles Rangel. Also, be careful calling him a racist. He’s black. Of course, you could call blacks in general homophobic since they overwhelmingly oppose gay marriage.

And Bush, although not as…Hitlerish as Hitler, isn’t being honest with others about his beliefs. Right? And that makes Hitler a more respectable person? It certainly didn’t make him anymore trustworthy.

I think I can agree with everything you just said. 🙂  
esp…the sleep thing. I have been up for awhile.

I know who introduced it. Bush will sign it. Kerry would not have.

Who did I call a racist?

Yes, I’m aware that homophobia is rampant in the black community. So what?

How am I “busted?” When did I ever say I wanted to leave the US?

(If I had the money, I WOULD move to Amsterdam).

I want to apologize for this thread. I was upset last night, but that is not a reason to insult over half the country.

If you were offended by thread I apologize. I am offended by this thread. I realize everything I said in the OP was stupid, rude, and offensive.

Mods, please feel free to lock this thread if you think it was be appropriate. I will not start another thread like this in the future.

Again, I am sorry.

I changed it shortly after the results came in. I’m disgusted as you might imagine.

“The world needs anger. The world often continues to allow evil because it isn’t angry enough.” Bede Jarrett

“In certain trying circumstances, urgent circumstances, desperate circumstances, profanity furnishes a relief denied even to prayer.” Mark Twain

Your anger was justified, **Kel**. Maybe next time, turn the nozzle on the hose from wide spray to jet stream. Hang in there, sweetie.

Anger can be a positive force under the right circumstances. I don’t see how it can be a positive force when you are giving a hearty “fuck you” to half of the country for doing the same thing you did; i.e., voting for the candidate they think will do the best job of running the country.

Kudos to you, **Kel Varnsen**. It’s difficult, especially after suffering a bitter and crushing loss, to take the high road and admit that your passions got the better of you. Your apology speaks volumes to your good character. Good on ya, sir! 🙂
