Why are rightwing fringefucks so scared of gay people? Is it that such fear is just part and parcel of the cowardly perspective with which fringefucks look upon life in general, or is there something else going on? Are they afraid of gays because of their own sexual insecurities? If people want to serve their nation, and are competent to do so, then we should let them do so and express our gratitude to them.

Of course, we could try to actually discuss the issue, and break through some of the stereotypes and bigotry involved, but it’s much more fun to just make fun of the sex habits of others.
And that, of course, is exactly the attitude that keeps this issue from being discussed and solved.
The uniformed military has always been perceived as hide-bound and reactionary. Pretty funny, when you consider that the military was integrated racially long before private industry would even consider the matter, and it isn’t, for the most part, the uniformed military that is keeping women from taking on any roles that they can physically perform in.
Not that we’re entirely comfortable with change, just that we are trained to take orders and try to make them work. I knew lots of old Sailors that were sure that putting women onboard ships would be a terrible mistake. But when those same Sailors were told to make it work, they did their best and were willing to be proven wrong.
“Don’t ask” was always considered to be a silly policy by most folks in the Navy, but we did our best with the policy. We thought it silly because, living in close quarters, everyone pretty much knew everyone else’s business.
And it left open the possibility that one disgruntled individual would “out” someone that they had a personal grudge against, or one senior officer that wasn’t entirely “with the program” would go on a witch hunt.
It was also known as an easy way out of an unpleasant assignment.
Senior military folks have known all of this for years. It isn’t the uniformed military that have been the primary stumbling block here. It’s been the politicians, pandering to the prejudices of the ignorant.
The issues in the video are real. I’ve been assigned to units where we lost critical personnel at critical times, either because some yahoo had a personal grudge or just couldn’t get past his own bigotry.
Kicking out Arabic translators at this time is absurd, and I’m willing to bet that the Commanding Officers of those individuals would agree, but unfortunately their hands are tied by the rules and laws handed down by Congress and the President.
Some military members won’t like doing away with the rules regarding homosexuals in the military. We draw recruits from the general public, and the general public is more than a bit conflicted on this issue.
But if the politicians will get onboard with the idea of gays and lesbians in uniform, then the uniformed military will make it work.
It’s what we do.

We may argue about tactics and strategies, or the extent to which we are partisans versus ideologues. And believe me, we do.
But there’s no disagreement among us that the modern conservative movement of Newt and Grover and Karl and Rush has proven to be a dangerous cultural and political cancer on the body politic.
You will not find anyone amongst us who believes that the Bush administration’s executive power grab and flagrant partisan use of the federal government is anything less than an assault on the Constitution.
We stand together against the dissolution of habeas corpus, and the atoricities of Abu Grahib and Guantanamo.
And we all agree that Islamic terrorism is a threat, but one that we cannot meet with military power alone.
And yes, a vast majority of us were against this mindless invasion of Iraq from the beginning, or at least saw the writing on the wall long before Peggy Noonan discovered that George W. Bush wasn’t the seocnd coming of Winston Churchill.

No, the reason we’re discussing it is because the policy is foolishness, and in the foreseeable future, we Democrats will be in a position to do something about it.
While the current administration has been misusing and abusing the military, to the point of possibly making it unable to perform its primary function of defending our country and our allies, the fact is that eventually those folks will be gone, and we need to plan for what to do once they are.

You were obviously never in the service. The military is overall a very conservative institution. Always has been, likely always will be. So what you are saying is that you would rather the military be 100% Republican instead of something well over 50% that it currently is.
The individuals in the armed forces largely come from rural areas in the mountain west, midwest, and the south. As well as from the inner city. Sure, there are people that join from the east and west coasts, and the suburbs too. But the military disproportionally comes from the places I mentioned. The military is also made up largely by people who are Christians. Certainly not all or anywhere close to all, but a very large percentage of them are. Certainly in greater proportions than you would find in other professions.
How do I know this? My main point of reference is the 4 years I spent in the Marine Corps from 1988 – 1992. I had these exact same conversations with other Marines and we used to joke about how pussified and weak the pseudo intellectuals with the puffed up heads are and how they would not last a week in the Corps. The military culture is one that many people would not fit into. They discriminate against a lot of different people for a lot of different reasons. They discrminate against handicapped people because, the answer is obvious. They discriminate against fat people because they can’t run fast and do the things necessary to be effective. They discriminate against people with emotional or mental problems because they are only going to be a drain on their unit down the road. Intoducing an openly gay individual into most units would create more problems than the military should be expected to deal with. It is what it is. You can’t change it! Trying to force liberal civilian ideas upon the troops will do nothing but lower morale and weaken readiness and discipline.

So, your reasoned and dispassionate explanation of why gays should be prohibited from serving in the military is that the military is a culture of bigotry, intolerance, and juvenile stereotypes, and that such culture is incapable of change. You, of course, fail to explain how the militaries of our allies have incorporated gay soldiers without any problems. Frankly, the military you describe is one that I would rather disband than have defending this nation. Fortunately, the anachronistic military you describe is a fiction of your addled mind. Certainly, some in the military are as you describe. But, as an institution, I believe you are wrong. The military, like any institution, can change to reflect contemporary social values. If it cannot, it will cease to be a viable institution. You, my friend, are the one who seems incapable of change.

Who cares that social conservatives are wrong 100% of the time?
His point is that US troops are too hateful, ignorant and intolerant to be like their counterparts in Europe, Canada and Australia etc., much like the US public in general, and that openly gay soldiers would just get fragged by their fellow soldiers. See, we have to be just like Iran, North Korea, Saudi Arabia and Syria – that’s wing-nut “logic.”
My point is that a right-wing country like the US doesn’t deserve our support, service or sacrifice, so gay men and lesbians should refuse to serve.

I’m not sure whether “Mark” is or is not our own “Mark the Redneck”, but it really doesn’t matter. His ignorance is showing.
I did over twenty one years active duty, and saw a number of changes. Many of the doomsayers were making the same sort of noises about women onboard combatant ships. Then we were told to make it work, and we did.
Before that, the military was told to integrate. Lots of people said that it would never work, morale would suffer, white folks would refuse to serve, etc… We were told to make it work, and we did.
Anyone that tells you that there aren’t gays and lesbians serving in the military is either ignorant or is lying to you. Additionally, we all live so close together for long periods that everyone pretty well knows everyone else’s business.
Are there a few on active duty that go around with their eyes closed, fingers in ears and yelling “lalalalalala” to avoid knowing that some of those folks serving with them are gay or lesbian? Yes, but only a few.
Yes, when people join the military, they bring their prejudices with them. Some of those folks are so stubborn that they can hold onto those prejudices past boot camp, but most are not, and those few are unlikely to be candidates for critical jobs. Even your standard issue foot Soldier is a highly trained professional.
Some here might think that our Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines are such ignorant rednecks that they cannot deal with people that are different.

The Marine Corps is a division of the Department of the Navy. The Marine Corps historically has been an amphibious fighting force that has assaulted beaches from ships.

I’m about to pay the bill for my son’s first year of college at a private school back east, I’ve got a mortgage, and, as an employer, I do the promoting of others. And, you know what else? I haven’t become one goddamned speck more conservative as I’ve grown older and more “responsible.” Quite the contrary. If we give a shit about the future, we turn to the left. There is a reason intellectuals tend to be liberal.

Mark @ 41
I am aware of the Romans passage. Last time I checked, Romans was not one of the Gospels. I was pretty specific in my challenge to you. I believe you failed. Christ never said a damned thing about homosexuality, did he? He did talk about moneylenders, and those who are judgmental, and those who took advantage of laborers, and those who make war, and–shall I go on? If homosexuality is the linchpin of morality as people like you try to make it, then why did Christ never even mention it? Tell me, big boy.
So what you are telling me is that if the scripture in question did not come out of the mouth of Jesus, then you just discard it? If that’s the case you might as well throw the entire Bible in the trash. Read II Timothy 3:16 (that would be after I Timothy and before Titus in case you didn’t know) where it reads “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness”. This includes scripture other than what Jesus utters. There are a lot of things that Jesus never uttered but are in the Bible and are therefore, no less relevant.
What next, Timothy didn’t really mean that?

I’m just toying with the boy. It’s sport. The problem with literalists is that they never understand nuance or context. They can’t read the Bible and they can’t read the Constitution. They want black and white directives because they can’t figure things out on their own. Authority comforts them. That’s why a guy like Mark is so fond of an institution like the military. He thinks having ranks and getting told what to do by others makes life easier. I think we need to figure things out for ourselves. And, that often requires reading between the lines a bit. Neocons can’t read between the lines. Now, I have a Mariners game to attend.

We seem to be taking a short trip through1 Renovations.
So I guess I’ll make my contribution.
Jesus actually gave us a re-interpretation of Leviticus when he spoke what has been called “The Great Commandment”: Love thy Neighbor etc.
That teaching seems to be given a new twist over and over through the years. In 1640 George Herbert recorded as a proverb this qualified version: “Love your neighbor, yet pull not down your hedge” — in short, “No Tresspassing.” Ben Franklin liked this so well he included in Poor Richard’s Almanac. Woodrow Wilson gave us this version in 1912: “No one can love his neighbor on an empty stomach”.
Eugen O’Neill went a little further in 1926 by saying:”Fear thy neighbor as thyself.”

Puddybud Who Left The Reservationspews:
Proud Libtard@32: I realize you being a Moonbat! will have problems following this study but take your time and read carefully.
Starting chronologically in the Old Testament:
Leviticus 18: 22 “Do not lie with a male as one lies with a woman; it is an abhorence”.
Leviticus 20: 13 “And if a man lie with mankind, as with womankind, both of them have committed abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.”
Now to the Gospels Mark 7:1-9.
1Then some Pharisees and scribes from Jerusalem came to Jesus.
2They saw some of the disciples eating food. They had not washed their hands before they ate. The Pharisees said that was wrong.
3They and all the Jews keep the laws made by men. God did not give them those laws. They do not eat until they wash their hands very well.
4When they come from the market, they do not eat until they have washed themselves. They also keep many other laws such as washing cups, pots, brass pans, and beds.
5The Pharisees and the scribes asked Jesus, `Why do your disciples not keep the law our fathers made? Why do they eat with hands that are not clean?’
6-7esus said to them, `Isaiah spoke the truth about you people! You are not true to yourselves! He wrote about you this way: “These people respect me with their mouths. But their hearts are far from me. They do not mean it in their hearts when they worship me. Their teachings are only words of men.”
8`You do not keep the law of God, but you keep the laws made by people. Those laws are about washing pots and cups. You do many other things like that also.
9`You break God’s law so that you can keep your own law.
So we know Jesus said the people didn’t keep God’s law. What was God’s law? It was found in Leviticus.
Now Jesus identifies to the world who He is:
John 10:30: “I and my Father are one.”
John 14:9: Jesus says, “he that hath seen me hath seen the Father.”
So if Jesus and His Father are one and Jesus said the people are not keeping God’s law, Jesus is saying we need to keep God’s law.
If you read and comprehended the Bible through His Guide, the Holy Spirit, you could figure this out too. But your “god” is someone else, not the Son of God!
BTW Proud Libtard and the rest of the ‘Wipes Moonbat!s: Search the “Wipes Chronicles! Call Voice of Asses Wiping. He can perform a SEQUEL search on his archives. I have stated over and over James Dobson does not lead me to any “understanding” because I don’t like him.

At the risk of sounding like a broken record (a phrase that by itself dates me) I’m going to point something out again.
Quoting scripture to non-Christians is an exercise in futility.
Some of the folks here have challenged you based on scripture. This indicates that they are familiar with the scriptures, and as you have professed to be Christian, are expecting you to live up to them.
Angrily firing different scriptures back at them is silly. They haven’t (for the most part) claimed to be Christian, so expecting them to acknowledge your scripture-based argument won’t work.
(I’ve been known to quote the Qur’an to Muslims. That doesn’t mean that I acknowledge it as the word of God, simply that I know that the person I’m speaking to does.)
So, when a non-Christian points out that you appear to be ignoring Jesus’ clear, direct instructions, firing back with verses out of Leviticus or Romans merely reinforced the perception that you are being hypocritical.
Non-Christians do get to pick and choose which verses to quote, especially when faced with a Christian that seems willing to do so himself. You give anti-Christians the opportunity to say things like “All you have to know about Christians is that the baby-raping Puffybutt claims to be one. Case closed. Nuff said.”
And since you do claim to be a follower of the Christ, perhaps you could try this verse on for size:
“But now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene talk from your mouth.” —Colossians 3:8

Its amazing how people can find 1 single verse and hang their entire philosophical hat on it while refusing to examine the verse in context and against other passages in the Bible. When a non believer throws out versus in a challenging fashion to someone who IS a believer, it really shouldn’t be dignified with a response. To a non believer, the Bible is not going to be a useful guide unless you first make that committment to Jesus Christ. It will only be used as a weapon in attacking belivers so why bother engaging someone on that level if they don’t believe in the Bible to begin with.
94
RightEqualsStupidspews:
What’s really amazing is that the right wingers can ignore the parts of the Bible that talk about charity, love and peace and instead hang their entire philosophical hat on the parts that talk about anything else.
Well, Mark, the point is that the Bible contains standards of conduct that as Christians we are supposed to adhere to, or at least acknowledge as our goals.
So, when a non-Christian points out that a poster’s apparently deliberate insults are not in keeping with the commandment to love our neighbor as we love ourselves, it’s a valid point.
Worse, when a self-identified Christian fails to at least try to live up to that standard, it appears to non-Christians that we are being hypocritical.
The direction we’re given in how to deal with others does not simply apply to how we’re supposed to deal with other Christians. Quite the contrary. We are supposed to be an example of Christ for all (especially non-Christians) to see.
Puddybud has noted on several occasions that I’m harder on him than on others here. Part of the reason for that is that nobody is going to point at Roger (for example) and say “All you have to know about Christians is that Roger Rabbit claims to be one“.
No, it isn’t “fair” (whatever that means). If you’re looking for fair, we’ve got a good one in Puyallup.
And it is quite possible to make any point that you want to make while still adhereing to Christian standards of conduct. My experience is that your points are taken more seriously when you don’t rise to the bait of name-calling and competing “gotchas”.
Yes, it’s tempting to return like for like. That is exactly the word for it. It is a temptation, as in the phrase “lead us not into temptation“.

I would think the left on this blog , and Goldie from his view of liberals having a better understanding of compassion , should be glad , your perception of right , wrong , and “tolerance ” is gaining .

This video is a good example of why people who are caught in between if you ask me . Seems like a good kid who had his head on”straight” and was doing a good job for his country .
When talking about extreme examples of inappropriate behavior, I rarely hear gays and lesbians point out Mardi Gras parades and festivals as examples of typical heterosexual behavior.
The few gays and lesbians I’ve known personally look at those Gay Pride parades as being equivalent to those Mardi Gras celebrations, and I rather think they’re correct.
I wonder how many of those far-right types would like to defend the activities of our local “Fat Tuesday” celebration, not to mention what goes on in New Orleans or Las Vegas around that same time.

John Barelli:
I’ll deal with your first.
Proud Idiot asked for someone to PROVE Jesus was speaking about homosexuality in the Gospels. If you can’t accept the proof I carefully placed on ‘Wipes then I guess you only hint at your “Christianity”.
Somewhere in the Bible it says: “Everyone therefore who shall confess Me before men, I will also confess him before My Father who is in heaven. But whoever shall deny Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father who is in heaven.” – Look it up John.
This means to the prima facie idiots like Yos Idioto – Cluelessman and Stupidman (needs no further explanation,) you continue to confess Jesus to them. You may choose to stop, but what happens when Jesus stops confessing John Barelli to His Father? Hmmm…?
So which is it John, do you “hint” at it or do you profess it.
So let’s clear the air – I don’t profess to want to kill anyone. I don’t profess to choke anyone. But these “agnostics and atheists” have said these things directed at me. Then some claim Ann Coulter humor. What was that called by Freud? See the social dichotomy about these progressive NEW Moonbat!s?
And… you can just shut up with your explanations to ME about what I THINK! Since you chose NOT TO take on Proud IDIOT, keep your Christian comments to yourself when you decide to talk to me. If you notice I took you at your word about not bringing you into anymore conversations, and I thought you said you’d do the same.

Puddy,
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
When you get off on your tirades here, it’s really difficult to reconcile it with any notion of doing the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Is it really the Will of God for you to contribute to the cacophony? Is it really the Will of God for you to add to the hatred and enmity that permeates our public discourse? Is it really the Will of God to strive to verbally bludgeon people into submission?
If that is, indeed, the Will of God, then the God you worship is a God I will shun until my dying breath. And you can take that one to the bank.

Don Joespews:
Puddy,
What does Proud’s question have to do with your behavior?
Having said that, Proud is quite right. There is no reference to homosexuality in the Gospel’s. That does not, of course, mean that homosexuality is acceptable in God’s eye, but one really does have to wonder, given the issues where Jesus did place emphasis, which is the more grievous trespass: that of the homosexual or yours.
As for citation, I’m addressing you. I’m assuming you know what I’m citing, and that specific references aren’t necessary. On the other hand, if you don’t really know, then I’d be more than happy to inform you.
122
Don Joespews:
A few more thoughts:
First, you have no idea who my friends are, so I’m not sure how you can claim to have found anything illogical about what my friends have said. Are you now claiming a sufficient level of omniscience as to know things about me that are not evident here?
Second, whenever you and I have actually engaged in reasoned discussion, you have, nearly without exception, gotten the short end of the stick. I still haven’t seen you answer, for example, my questions about health care “rationing”.
Third, I have a pretty good idea where I stand in God’s eyes. I know I’m not perfect, but I go to sleep at night, after having taken myself to account, knowing that, for the most part, I do the best I can under the circumstances.
Lastly, how many more swipes are you going to take before you answer my original question? Or are you going to rationalize your behavior, both to God and yourself, by, somehow, finding someone else’s behavior that happens to be worse than yours? Is that what counts for spirituality these days?

If you don’t believe in God’s law then you too can not address me.
Ah, yes. Your answer to my question is that I am unworthy of asking it. How convenient.
When I was young and they packed me off to school
and taught me how not to play the game,
I didn’t mind if they groomed me for success,
or if they said that I was a fool.
So I left there in the morning
with their God tucked underneath my arm —
their half-assed smiles and the book of rules.
So I asked this God a question
and by way of firm reply,
He said — I’m not the kind you have to wind up on Sundays.
So to my old headmaster (and to anyone who cares):
before I’m through I’d like to say my prayers —
I don’t believe you:
you had the whole damn thing all wrong —
He’s not the kind you have to wind up on Sundays.
Well you can excomunicate me on my way to Sunday school
and have all the bishops harmonize these lines —
how do you dare tell me that I’m my Father’s son
when that was just an accident of Birth.
I’d rather look around me — compose a better song
`cos that’s the honest measure of my worth.
In your pomp and all your glory you’re a poorer man than me,
as you lick the boots of death born out of fear.
I don’t believe you:
you had the whole damn thing all wrong —
He’s not the kind you have to wind up on Sundays.

Why not curl up with some warm milk and cookies, say a prayer to God asking first for forgiveness for rejecting him all these years, asking for the Holy Spirit to come and guide your mind, blow the dust off of your Bible and crack open the UNUSED pages and start reading Isaiah? Then read Ezekiel. Next read Hosea. Then jump to Romans. Next read both Timothies. Then read Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, and Colossians. Then go back and start in Genesis and read it through to Revelation. Let me know when you finish.

I reject your notion of God, because, frankly, if your behavior is, indeed, congruent with God’s Will, then I can imagine no hell worse then being consigned to a “heaven” populated with people whose deeds belie their very professions of faith.

I finally have Clueless where I want him, fully stupid in his worthless ideals. Now how do I keep other “Wipes Moonbat!s uneducated and severely limited in their mental faculties.
Is a man kissing a man equivalent to a woman kissing a man?
Depends on your culture. Jesus kissed his disciples on several occasions.
Flashy sexual clothing and sexual displays are quite another thing, but we can find some moral equivalents when comparing Mardi Gras celebrations and gay pride parades. Flashing breasts for beads, exaggerated codpieces, etc…
And while much of the sex going on around Mardi Gras celebrations is between men and women, quite a bit of that sex is not between married couples.
But you knew that.
As to the rest of your comments, I note that you seem to have embraced and welcomed the sins mentioned in Corinthians:
Anger – Over killing babies in the womb
Malice – Where I exhibited an intent to harm except to Headlice Loocie and his racist epithets directed at me? If you take a minute and review the ‘Wipes blogs, I gave sympathy to Pellethead on his back and kidneys & Carl Left Foot on his bad ticker. If I had malice I would use “Ann Coulter Humor” – Pellethead
Rage – At the Moonbat!s wanting to take more of my hard earned money in taxes!
Slander – Where have I given untruthful oral (spoken) statement about a person that harms the person’s reputation or standing in the community?
Obscene Talk – The only thing that penetrates a Moonbat!s neanderthal cranium
You might want to think that through again. Remember that you are being used as an example of what Christians are “really like”.
And as for your bit of libel (ok, it isn’t “slander”, but somehow it seems that you’re splitting legalistic hairs here) against my Church, well, sorry to disappoint you but United Methodists don’t do a lot of nude ceremonies.
It isn’t that there would be anything necessarily unscriptural about them, nor would they violate the UMC Book of Discipline. It’s simply because not all that many of us would look good naked, and it would make a lot of members uncomfortable. We’re supposed to avoid becoming “stumbling blocks” to others.
But regardless, it does appear that you are quite willing to “pick and choose” which parts of scripture apply to you, and which do not.
I can understand when Christians look at certain scriptures, especially Old Testiment laws, and say that they have been superceded by Jesus’ statement:
One of the teachers of the law came and heard them debating. Noticing that Jesus had given them a good answer, he asked him, “Of all the commandments, which is the most important?”
“The most important one,” answered Jesus, “is this: ‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself. There is no commandment greater than these.”
Mark 12:28-31
While I hope it’s in there, Puddybud, somehow that love just isn’t showing through in your posts, and somehow if you’re going to decide which scriptures don’t apply to you, deciding that the clear instructions of Jesus are the ones you’ll ignore seems odd if you’re also going to call yourself “Christian”.

Ok John Barelli: I took the weekend off from ‘Wipes doing other things with my family. Did Christ show love to the Pharisees in Matthew 23? How about when they tried to trick him with the Caesarean coin? Come on John you have to go much deeper into the Bible. Since it’s Sunday ask your minister for help.
In my Bible it says “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” 2 Tim 2:15. I don’t whip out proof texts like most on the left. I’d rather perform a Bible study like I whipped out on Proud Idiot! BTW I proved Jesus was against homosexuality WITHOUT Him saying it. That’s what Bible study is all about John!
Where have I condoned public nudity? URL Citation please.
My rage is righteous rage. Where does it say that the nation can over-tax you for “their” pet projects?
John, as far as Mark 12:28-31 as I told Stupidman, I’ll put my charitable contributions against yours any day, month, year or decade. If showing LOVE isn’t spending your own money to help out the poor and downtrodden well, what is it?
How am I splitting legalistic hairs here? Where? In your small amoeba laden cranium? Do I write to the newspapers discussing how disgusting Stupidman is and how you CONDONE his actions by YOUR SILENCE? Hmmm…? No… ‘Wipes is a free blog caretaken by Voice of Asses Wiping!
I don’t pick and choose anything. You all decided to measure me without measuring yourselves. Matt 7:4 “Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?” When I first came to ‘Wipes the screech was bad. Of course Pelletman came out and said this was a libtard blog so deal with it. I was called every name in the book.
When I blogged as Reckless, I tested my theory. If you are on the right and you play nice are the ‘Bats the same in their character? I never swore, cursed, called everyone by their proper name and the MORONIC IDIOTS (>75% of the Moonbat!s here; you know who you are) attacked me with the same swearing and name calling vehemence you ACCUSE me of? John, another wrong posted by you! Moonbat!s never change and they can’t change their spots.
How come I figured out
Headlice Loocie and his 4 other monikers
Pelletman and his alter ego
Tree Frog Farmer and his alter ego
Yos Lib Bro AKA Clueless
Stupidman and his 2 alter egos? Because they repeated themselves with “special phrases” I saved for later use. Then when I whipped out their “special sayings” I guess it rocked their worlds I figured them out!
Jeremiah 13:23 “Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? then may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil.”
Yet it took Voice of Asses Wiping to expose me as Reckless. Why is that? You side can’t change blind rage and abject hatred. So when you decide to come off the pedestal and speak to the common man, I’ll take you up on a Bible study John Barelli. But you better bone up on your Bible and don’t try proof texting!
So John Barelli Look up what happens when you are disobedient. You can find it in Deuteronomy 28:15-68 or Leviticus 26:14-46. Just as Moses and God told the Children of Israel what would happen if they left him so is it with those you choose to associate with! “Because thou servedst not the LORD thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things”

Of course, we could try to actually discuss the issue, and break through some of the stereotypes and bigotry involved, but it’s much more fun to just make fun of the sex habits of others.
And that, of course, is exactly the attitude that keeps this issue from being discussed and solved.
The uniformed military has always been perceived as hide-bound and reactionary. Pretty funny, when you consider that the military was integrated racially long before private industry would even consider the matter, and it isn’t, for the most part, the uniformed military that is keeping women from taking on any roles that they can physically perform in.
Not that we’re entirely comfortable with change, just that we are trained to take orders and try to make them work. I knew lots of old Sailors that were sure that putting women onboard ships would be a terrible mistake. But when those same Sailors were told to make it work, they did their best and were willing to be proven wrong.
“Don’t ask” was always considered to be a silly policy by most folks in the Navy, but we did our best with the policy. We thought it silly because, living in close quarters, everyone pretty much knew everyone else’s business.
And it left open the possibility that one disgruntled individual would “out” someone that they had a personal grudge against, or one senior officer that wasn’t entirely “with the program” would go on a witch hunt.
It was also known as an easy way out of an unpleasant assignment.
Senior military folks have known all of this for years. It isn’t the uniformed military that have been the primary stumbling block here. It’s been the politicians, pandering to the prejudices of the ignorant.
The issues in the video are real. I’ve been assigned to units where we lost critical personnel at critical times, either because some yahoo had a personal grudge or just couldn’t get past his own bigotry.
Kicking out Arabic translators at this time is absurd, and I’m willing to bet that the Commanding Officers of those individuals would agree, but unfortunately their hands are tied by the rules and laws handed down by Congress and the President.
Some military members won’t like doing away with the rules regarding homosexuals in the military. We draw recruits from the general public, and the general public is more than a bit conflicted on this issue.
But if the politicians will get onboard with the idea of gays and lesbians in uniform, then the uniformed military will make it work.
It’s what we do.

We may argue about tactics and strategies, or the extent to which we are partisans versus ideologues. And believe me, we do.
But there’s no disagreement among us that the modern conservative movement of Newt and Grover and Karl and Rush has proven to be a dangerous cultural and political cancer on the body politic.
You will not find anyone amongst us who believes that the Bush administration’s executive power grab and flagrant partisan use of the federal government is anything less than an assault on the Constitution.
We stand together against the dissolution of habeas corpus, and the atoricities of Abu Grahib and Guantanamo.
And we all agree that Islamic terrorism is a threat, but one that we cannot meet with military power alone.
And yes, a vast majority of us were against this mindless invasion of Iraq from the beginning, or at least saw the writing on the wall long before Peggy Noonan discovered that George W. Bush wasn’t the seocnd coming of Winston Churchill.
Sadly, we also all agree that the mainstream media is part of the problem. Democracy sufferes when not being held accountable by a vigorous press.

I’ve read that as many as 40,000 healthy, young gay men and lesbians would join the armed forces if Don’t Ask Don’t Tell were repealed. Keeping the ban in place saves their lives and prevents them from being accomplices to this country’s despicable lies and war crimes.

You were obviously never in the service. The military is overall a very conservative institution. Always has been, likely always will be. So what you are saying is that you would rather the military be 100% Republican instead of something well over 50% that it currently is.
The individuals in the armed forces largely come from rural areas in the mountain west, midwest, and the south. As well as from the inner city. Sure, there are people that join from the east and west coasts, and the suburbs too. But the military disproportionally comes from the places I mentioned. The military is also made up largely by people who are Christians. Certainly not all or anywhere close to all, but a very large percentage of them are. Certainly in greater proportions than you would find in other professions.
How do I know this? My main point of reference is the 4 years I spent in the Marine Corps from 1988 – 1992. I had these exact same conversations with other Marines and we used to joke about how pussified and weak the pseudo intellectuals with the puffed up heads are and how they would not last a week in the Corps. The military culture is one that many people would not fit into. They discriminate against a lot of different people for a lot of different reasons. They discrminate against handicapped people because, the answer is obvious. They discriminate against fat people because they can’t run fast and do the things necessary to be effective. They discriminate against people with emotional or mental problems because they are only going to be a drain on their unit down the road. Intoducing an openly gay individual into most units would create more problems than the military should be expected to deal with. It is what it is. You can’t change it! Trying to force liberal civilian ideas upon the troops will do nothing but lower morale and weaken readiness and discipline.

So, your reasoned and dispassionate explanation of why gays should be prohibited from serving in the military is that the military is a culture of bigotry, intolerance, and juvenile stereotypes, and that such culture is incapable of change. You, of course, fail to explain how the militaries of our allies have incorporated gay soldiers without any problems. Frankly, the military you describe is one that I would rather disband than have defending this nation. Fortunately, the anachronistic military you describe is a fiction of your addled mind. Certainly, some in the military are as you describe. But, as an institution, I believe you are wrong. The military, like any institution, can change to reflect contemporary social values. If it cannot, it will cease to be a viable institution. You, my friend, are the one who seems incapable of change.

Mark @ 18’s comments may seem bigoted, illogical, backward and somewhat hateful, but they are a fairly accurate representation of how most Americans think (or fail to think).
Who cares if he’s parroting the same arguments word for word that social conservatives used in saying that the armed forces could never be racially integrated (because white troops are way too racist to accept blacks and Hispanics, you know). Who cares that social conservatives are wrong 100% of the time?
His point is that US troops are too hateful, ignorant and intolerant to be like their counterparts in Europe, Canada and Australia etc., much like the US public in general, and that openly gay soldiers would just get fragged by their fellow soldiers. See, we have to be just like Iran, North Korea, Saudi Arabia and Syria – that’s wing-nut “logic.”
My point is that a right-wing country like the US doesn’t deserve our support, service or sacrifice, so gay men and lesbians should refuse to serve.

Before that, the military was told to integrate. Lots of people said that it would never work, morale would suffer, white folks would refuse to serve, etc… We were told to make it work, and we did.
Anyone that tells you that there aren’t gays and lesbians serving in the military is either ignorant or is lying to you. Additionally, we all live so close together for long periods that everyone pretty well knows everyone else’s business.
Are there a few on active duty that go around with their eyes closed, fingers in ears and yelling “lalalalalala” to avoid knowing that some of those folks serving with them are gay or lesbian? Yes, but only a few.
Yes, when people join the military, they bring their prejudices with them. Some of those folks are so stubborn that they can hold onto those prejudices past boot camp, but most are not, and those few are unlikely to be candidates for critical jobs.

The very thing you accuse me of (stupidity), you are yourself displaying. The Marines are “The Few” “The Proud” because they are the smallest branch of the service. The Marine Corps is a division of the Department of the Navy. The Marine Corps historically has been an amphibious fighting force that has assaulted beaches from ships. The training and fitness standards are also higher than other branches. It is harder to become a Marine than to join other branches.

So what you are telling me is that if the scripture in question did not come out of the mouth of Jesus, then you just discard it? If that’s the case you might as well throw the entire Bible in the trash. Read II Timothy 3:16 (that would be after I Timothy and before Titus in case you didn’t know) where it reads “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness”. This includes scripture other than what Jesus utters. There are a lot of things that Jesus never uttered but are in the Bible and are therefore, no less relevant.
What next, Timothy didn’t really mean that?

I’m just toying with the boy. It’s sport. The problem with literalists is that they never understand nuance or context. They can’t read the Bible and they can’t read the Constitution. They want black and white directives because they can’t figure things out on their own. Authority comforts them. That’s why a guy like Mark is so fond of an institution like the military. He thinks having ranks and getting told what to do by others makes life easier. I think we need to figure things out for ourselves. And, that often requires reading between the lines a bit. Neocons can’t read between the lines. Now, I have a Mariners game to attend.

We seem to be taking a short trip through1 Renovations.
So I guess I’ll make my contribution.
Jesus actually gave us a re-interpretation of Leviticus when he spoke what has been called “The Great Commandment”: Love thy Neighbor etc.
That teaching seems to be given a new twist over and over through the years. In 1640 George Herbert recorded as a proverb this qualified version: “Love your neighbor, yet pull not down your hedge” — in short, “No Tresspassing.” Ben Franklin liked this so well he included in Poor Richard’s Almanac. Woodrow Wilson gave us this version in 1912: “No one can love his neighbor on an empty stomach”.
Eugen O’Neill went a little further in 1926 by saying:”Fear thy neighbor as thyself.”

Proud Libtard@32: I realize you being a Moonbat! will have problems following this study but take your time and read carefully.
Starting chronologically in the Old Testament:
Leviticus 18: 22 “Do not lie with a male as one lies with a woman; it is an abhorence”.
Leviticus 20: 13 “And if a man lie with mankind, as with womankind, both of them have committed abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.”
Now to the Gospels Mark 7:1-9.
1Then some Pharisees and scribes from Jerusalem came to Jesus.
2They saw some of the disciples eating food. They had not washed their hands before they ate. The Pharisees said that was wrong.
3They and all the Jews keep the laws made by men. God did not give them those laws. They do not eat until they wash their hands very well.
4When they come from the market, they do not eat until they have washed themselves. They also keep many other laws such as washing cups, pots, brass pans, and beds.
5The Pharisees and the scribes asked Jesus, `Why do your disciples not keep the law our fathers made? Why do they eat with hands that are not clean?’
6-7esus said to them, `Isaiah spoke the truth about you people! You are not true to yourselves! He wrote about you this way: “These people respect me with their mouths. But their hearts are far from me. They do not mean it in their hearts when they worship me. Their teachings are only words of men.”
8`You do not keep the law of God, but you keep the laws made by people. Those laws are about washing pots and cups. You do many other things like that also.
9`You break God’s law so that you can keep your own law.
So we know Jesus said the people didn’t keep God’s law. What was God’s law? It was found in Leviticus.
Now Jesus identifies to the world who He is:
John 10:30: “I and my Father are one.”
John 14:9: Jesus says, “he that hath seen me hath seen the Father.”
So if Jesus and His Father are one and Jesus said the people are not keeping God’s law, Jesus is saying we need to keep God’s law.
If you read and comprehended the Bible through His Guide, the Holy Spirit, you could figure this out too. But your “god” is someone else, not the Son of God!

At the risk of sounding like a broken record (a phrase that by itself dates me) I’m going to point something out again.
Quoting scripture to non-Christians is an exercise in futility.
Some of the folks here have challenged you based on scripture. This indicates that they are familiar with the scriptures, and as you have professed to be Christian, are expecting you to live up to them.
Angrily firing different scriptures back at them is silly. They haven’t (for the most part) claimed to be Christian, so expecting them to acknowledge your scripture-based argument won’t work.
(I’ve been known to quote the Qur’an to Muslims. That doesn’t mean that I acknowledge it as the word of God, simply that I know that the person I’m speaking to does.)
So, when a non-Christian points out that you appear to be ignoring Jesus’ clear, direct instructions, firing back with verses out of Leviticus or Romans merely reinforced the perception that you are being hypocritical.
Non-Christians do get to pick and choose which verses to quote, especially when faced with a Christian that seems willing to do so himself. You give anti-Christians the opportunity to say things like “All you have to know about Christians is that the baby-raping Puffybutt claims to be one. Case closed. Nuff said.”
And since you do claim to be a follower of the Christ, perhaps you could try this verse on for size:
“But now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene talk from your mouth.” —Colossians 3:8

Its amazing how people can find 1 single verse and hang their entire philosophical hat on it while refusing to examine the verse in context and against other passages in the Bible. When a non believer throws out versus in a challenging fashion to someone who IS a believer, it really shouldn’t be dignified with a response. To a non believer, the Bible is not going to be a useful guide unless you first make that committment to Jesus Christ. It will only be used as a weapon in attacking belivers so why bother engaging someone on that level if they don’t believe in the Bible to begin with.
RightEqualsStupid spews:
What’s really amazing is that the right wingers can ignore the parts of the Bible that talk about charity, love and peace and instead hang their entire philosophical hat on the parts that talk about anything else.
John Barelli spews:
Well, Mark, the point is that the Bible contains standards of conduct that as Christians we are supposed to adhere to, or at least acknowledge as our goals.
So, when a non-Christian points out that a poster’s apparently deliberate insults are not in keeping with the commandment to love our neighbor as we love ourselves, it’s a valid point.
Worse, when a self-identified Christian fails to at least try to live up to that standard, it appears to non-Christians that we are being hypocritical.
The direction we’re given in how to deal with others does not simply apply to how we’re supposed to deal with other Christians. Quite the contrary. We are supposed to be an example of Christ for all (especially non-Christians) to see.
Puddybud has noted on several occasions that I’m harder on him than on others here. Part of the reason for that is that nobody is going to point at Roger (for example) and say “All you have to know about Christians is that Roger Rabbit claims to be one“.
No, it isn’t “fair” (whatever that means). If you’re looking for fair, we’ve got a good one in Puyallup.
And it is quite possible to make any point that you want to make while still adhereing to Christian standards of conduct. My experience is that your points are taken more seriously when you don’t rise to the bait of name-calling and competing “gotchas”.
Yes, it’s tempting to return like for like. That is exactly the word for it. It is a temptation, as in the phrase “lead us not into temptation“.

I’ll deal with your first.
Proud Idiot asked for someone to PROVE Jesus was speaking about homosexuality in the Gospels. If you can’t accept the proof I carefully placed on ‘Wipes then I guess you only hint at your “Christianity”.
Somewhere in the Bible it says: “Everyone therefore who shall confess Me before men, I will also confess him before My Father who is in heaven. But whoever shall deny Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father who is in heaven.” – Look it up John.
This means to the prima facie idiots like Yos Idioto – Cluelessman and Stupidman (needs no further explanation,) you continue to confess Jesus to them. You may choose to stop, but what happens when Jesus stops confessing John Barelli to His Father? Hmmm…?
So which is it John, do you “hint” at it or do you profess it.
So let’s clear the air – I don’t profess to want to kill anyone. I don’t profess to choke anyone. But these “agnostics and atheists” have said these things directed at me. Then some claim Ann Coulter humor. What was that called by Freud? See the social dichotomy about these progressive NEW Moonbat!s?
And… you can just shut up with your explanations to ME about what I THINK! Since you chose NOT TO take on Proud IDIOT, keep your Christian comments to yourself when you decide to talk to me. If you notice I took you at your word about not bringing you into anymore conversations, and I thought you said you’d do the same.
Now to what Cluelessman and Stupidman think about Christianity, well they show their defacto true self-destructive behavior everyday on ‘Wipes!
Puddybud Who Left the Reservation spews:
BTW: The Mardi Gras activities are not condoned by me. But since it’s heterosexual activities and it’s men oogling women and women oogling men, that’s “normal” behaviour.
Why donesn’t John Barelli ask the eugenics rejects – Cluelessman and Stupidman, about their thoughts on Mardi Gras?
Puddybud Who Left the Reservation spews:
Stupidman: I’ll put my charitable contributions against yours any day, month, year or decade.
Remember, I volunteered and went to Katrinaland. What did you for those down and out people do except decry Mike Brown on the ‘Wipes blog as Left Turn?
So what happened? You made a “Left Turn” and became Stupidman?
Puddybud Who Left the Reservation spews:
So John Barelli: Children seeing a man kiss a woman is morally equivalent behavior as a man kissing a man?
You wrote: “The few gays and lesbians I’ve known personally look at those Gay Pride parades as being equivalent to those Mardi Gras celebrations, and I rather think they’re correct.”
Please do tell… Wow I am shocked… at your moral equivalences!
Puddybud Who Left the Reservation spews:

Malice – Where I exhibited an intent to harm except to Headlice Loocie and his racist epithets directed at me?

If I had malice I would use “Ann Coulter Humor” – Pellethead

Don Joe spews:
Puddy,
When you get off on your tirades here, it’s really difficult to reconcile it with any notion of doing the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Is it really the Will of God for you to contribute to the cacophony? Is it really the Will of God for you to add to the hatred and enmity that permeates our public discourse? Is it really the Will of God to strive to verbally bludgeon people into submission?
If that is, indeed, the Will of God, then the God you worship is a God I will shun until my dying breath. And you can take that one to the bank.
Puddybud Who Left The Reservation spews:
Don Joe: Can you answer the question put forth earlier by Proud Leftist?
Before I gladly take on #114, I’ll wait out your answer.
Puddybud Who Left The Reservation spews:
Also Don Joe, why not give the verses where they were found or are you afraid to quote them?
People like Stupidman need to KNOW where they are found and not something you could have made up!
Puddybud Who Left The Reservation spews:
And… Don Joe I believe in God and his Son Jesus. So what? If He rejects me so be it. At least I looked at the landscape and determined I would rather be on that side vs. being on your side where I know 100% absolutely I would be lost! I have a conscience and I’m conscious of my conscience!
What say you?
Puddybud Who Left The Reservation spews:
So Don Joe, why do you build your house like the foolish man?
Puddybud Who Left The Reservation spews:
And Don Joe: What is the Will of the Father? Do you know it? Why did Jesus cleanse the temple Don Joe?
Puddybud Who Left The Reservation spews:
And Don Joe… When I find and post illogical positions from your friends I add to the hatred and enmity of the public discourse?
When I find and post illogical politics from your friends I add to the hatred and enmity of the public discourse?
When I find and post illogical actions from your friends I add to the hatred and enmity of the public discourse? Hmmm…?
Don Joe spews:
Puddy,
What does Proud’s question have to do with your behavior?
Having said that, Proud is quite right. There is no reference to homosexuality in the Gospel’s. That does not, of course, mean that homosexuality is acceptable in God’s eye, but one really does have to wonder, given the issues where Jesus did place emphasis, which is the more grievous trespass: that of the homosexual or yours.
As for citation, I’m addressing you. I’m assuming you know what I’m citing, and that specific references aren’t necessary. On the other hand, if you don’t really know, then I’d be more than happy to inform you.
Don Joe spews:
A few more thoughts:
First, you have no idea who my friends are, so I’m not sure how you can claim to have found anything illogical about what my friends have said. Are you now claiming a sufficient level of omniscience as to know things about me that are not evident here?
Second, whenever you and I have actually engaged in reasoned discussion, you have, nearly without exception, gotten the short end of the stick. I still haven’t seen you answer, for example, my questions about health care “rationing”.
Third, I have a pretty good idea where I stand in God’s eyes. I know I’m not perfect, but I go to sleep at night, after having taken myself to account, knowing that, for the most part, I do the best I can under the circumstances.
Lastly, how many more swipes are you going to take before you answer my original question? Or are you going to rationalize your behavior, both to God and yourself, by, somehow, finding someone else’s behavior that happens to be worse than yours? Is that what counts for spirituality these days?

Many times Jesus said follow God’s law. Sure the word homosexual is not in the Bible but following God’s laws are there. Hence my proof to Proud.
How many times did Jesus tell everyone to follow God’s law? They are numerable. More than just the single set of verses you chose to post from Matthew. And yes I know the exact location of the verses you chose to quote.

That’s why I call you “Sitting Bull” and “Karma Klueless”.
Sitting Bull – Nothing original and you repeat yourself ad nauseum. At least your eugenics reject brother Stupidman TRIES to put forth an amoeba created thought through an MSNBC link. BTW Stupidman, I see Olbermann’s viewership numbers came back down. Waaa haaa haaa haaa haaa haaa.
Karma Klueless – You can’t get through the day without your does of liberalism from Kos, Matters, MoveOn, etc. I don’t need Free Republic. And… when the 9:1 liberal MSM (MSNBC – yesterday morning) won’t post truths, I WILL go to conservative sites to post truth.
Truths that explode the little weeny mind of Bakaman Karma Klueless Sitting Bull Cluelessman Yos Idioto (I like that ChristmasGhost).
Puddybud Who Left The Reservation spews:
One more thing Karma Klueless Sitting Bull – The Tiny URL gig was found by Pelletman. Since Voice of Asses Wiping filters some URLs and he will release them when he’s good and ready, the meaning is lost when follow-up blog entries refer to something held in the filter.
So please don’t click them. Be all that you can be! Stay ignorant!
Puddybud Who Left The Reservation spews:
Don Joe: Absolutely you are unworthy of asking me Christian questions if you are not a Christian. At least I tried to have a dialog with John Barelli. I never said any four letter epithet against him. I met him head on. I call out boorish behaviour of Stupidman, Cluelessman and others. He sits idly by and gives them a pass. But he didn’t like me associating with him. Well that’s his choice and I respect it. You on the other hand are similar to Cluelessman and Stupidman.
Why not curl up with some warm milk and cookies, say a prayer to God asking first for forgiveness for rejecting him all these years, asking for the Holy Spirit to come and guide your mind, blow the dust off of your Bible and crack open the UNUSED pages and start reading Isaiah? Then read Ezekiel. Next read Hosea. Then jump to Romans. Next read both Timothies. Then read Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, and Colossians. Then go back and start in Genesis and read it through to Revelation. Let me know when you finish.

Is this your idea of preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom? Is that why Jesus died on the Cross, so you can look down your nose at people who reject your notions of God’s Will?
Why not curl up with some warm milk and cookies, say a prayer to God asking first for forgiveness for rejecting him all these years
I reject your notion of God, because, frankly, if your behavior is, indeed, congruent with God’s Will, then I can imagine no hell worse then being consigned to a “heaven” populated with people whose deeds belie their very professions of faith.
That you declare me unworthy of pointing these things out to you is the clearest possible evidence of your inability to rectify the way you behave here with God’s Will.

John Barelli spews:
Ok, Puddybud. Just to answer a few of your posts.
Is a man kissing a man equivalent to a woman kissing a man?
Depends on your culture. Jesus kissed his disciples on several occasions.
Flashy sexual clothing and sexual displays are quite another thing, but we can find some moral equivalents when comparing Mardi Gras celebrations and gay pride parades. Flashing breasts for beads, exaggerated codpieces, etc…
And while much of the sex going on around Mardi Gras celebrations is between men and women, quite a bit of that sex is not between married couples.
But you knew that.
As to the rest of your comments, I note that you seem to have embraced and welcomed the sins mentioned in Corinthians:
You might want to think that through again. Remember that you are being used as an example of what Christians are “really like”.
And as for your bit of libel (ok, it isn’t “slander”, but somehow it seems that you’re splitting legalistic hairs here) against my Church, well, sorry to disappoint you but United Methodists don’t do a lot of nude ceremonies.
It isn’t that there would be anything necessarily unscriptural about them, nor would they violate the UMC Book of Discipline. It’s simply because not all that many of us would look good naked, and it would make a lot of members uncomfortable. We’re supposed to avoid becoming “stumbling blocks” to others.
But regardless, it does appear that you are quite willing to “pick and choose” which parts of scripture apply to you, and which do not.
I can understand when Christians look at certain scriptures, especially Old Testiment laws, and say that they have been superceded by Jesus’ statement:
While I hope it’s in there, Puddybud, somehow that love just isn’t showing through in your posts, and somehow if you’re going to decide which scriptures don’t apply to you, deciding that the clear instructions of Jesus are the ones you’ll ignore seems odd if you’re also going to call yourself “Christian”.

Puddybud Who Left The Reservation spews:
Ok John Barelli: I took the weekend off from ‘Wipes doing other things with my family. Did Christ show love to the Pharisees in Matthew 23? How about when they tried to trick him with the Caesarean coin? Come on John you have to go much deeper into the Bible. Since it’s Sunday ask your minister for help.
In my Bible it says “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” 2 Tim 2:15. I don’t whip out proof texts like most on the left. I’d rather perform a Bible study like I whipped out on Proud Idiot! BTW I proved Jesus was against homosexuality WITHOUT Him saying it. That’s what Bible study is all about John!
Where have I condoned public nudity? URL Citation please.
My rage is righteous rage. Where does it say that the nation can over-tax you for “their” pet projects?
John, as far as Mark 12:28-31 as I told Stupidman, I’ll put my charitable contributions against yours any day, month, year or decade. If showing LOVE isn’t spending your own money to help out the poor and downtrodden well, what is it?
How am I splitting legalistic hairs here? Where? In your small amoeba laden cranium? Do I write to the newspapers discussing how disgusting Stupidman is and how you CONDONE his actions by YOUR SILENCE? Hmmm…? No… ‘Wipes is a free blog caretaken by Voice of Asses Wiping!
I don’t pick and choose anything. You all decided to measure me without measuring yourselves. Matt 7:4 “Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?” When I first came to ‘Wipes the screech was bad. Of course Pelletman came out and said this was a libtard blog so deal with it. I was called every name in the book.
When I blogged as Reckless, I tested my theory. If you are on the right and you play nice are the ‘Bats the same in their character? I never swore, cursed, called everyone by their proper name and the MORONIC IDIOTS (>75% of the Moonbat!s here; you know who you are) attacked me with the same swearing and name calling vehemence you ACCUSE me of? John, another wrong posted by you! Moonbat!s never change and they can’t change their spots.
How come I figured out
Headlice Loocie and his 4 other monikers
Pelletman and his alter ego
Tree Frog Farmer and his alter ego
Yos Lib Bro AKA Clueless
Stupidman and his 2 alter egos? Because they repeated themselves with “special phrases” I saved for later use. Then when I whipped out their “special sayings” I guess it rocked their worlds I figured them out!
Jeremiah 13:23 “Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? then may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil.”
Yet it took Voice of Asses Wiping to expose me as Reckless. Why is that? You side can’t change blind rage and abject hatred. So when you decide to come off the pedestal and speak to the common man, I’ll take you up on a Bible study John Barelli. But you better bone up on your Bible and don’t try proof texting!
So John Barelli Look up what happens when you are disobedient. You can find it in Deuteronomy 28:15-68 or Leviticus 26:14-46. Just as Moses and God told the Children of Israel what would happen if they left him so is it with those you choose to associate with! “Because thou servedst not the LORD thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things”
