Huh, is this where the Missouri mule came from?
Hold the presses; we've found someone who has been living on Mars for the past twenty-five years or so, and has never heard of Michael Jackson.

They are victims of their sexuality from birth, right?
If any of you have not listened to Michael Medved, you should do yourselves a favor and tune in.....he's the BEST!
I think Jay Bookman could be a "catcher".
As a public servant, doesn't he have the "right" to grope or rape whomever he chooses? [sarcasm off]
Thanks for that opinion.
I can't believe you think moveon.org is a communist/fascist site, and yet Freerepublic is somehow balanced. I am scared at where political discourse in this country is going.....people ONLY want media that espouses their own beliefs, media that doesn't challenge their beliefs. A clear majority of the news on FreeRepublic, a misnomer if I ever heard one, support only its views.
As for gays who claim to make a choice.......you clearly don't understand sexuality, and are eager to lap up only those answers that support the way you view things. Many so-called gay and lesbian people are really bisexual.....bisexuality is common in a majority of people...few people are either totally straight or totally gay, most people have, at one time or another, had feelings for the same sex. In this sense, I suppose it would be easy for someone to say they CHOOSE to be gay or straight, because they really do have a choice. There are MANY gay people though who are NOT attracted to the opposite sex at all, and for these people, there is no choice. You can't choose who you are attracted to.....I'm suprised that someone who seems as intelligent as you could actually believe this.

I agree. He's been very clear, convincing, and consistent in his argument against gay marriage. Any time a caller challenges him on the issue, he just drags out the same old proven arguments and lets us listen to them try to dodge, change the argument, name-call, etc. Anything to avoid answering the question. Beyond that, his show in general is the best out there, I think. I can't imagine Limbaugh, (though I like his show), having "disagreement day" where he only allows callers who disagree with him to call in and challenge him.
Most glad I don't live in your neighborhood.
I don't think the founding fathers would have taken such a thing so lightly. I think when they wrote it, they meant it.
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3......
P.S. One shouldn't end a sentence with a preposition.
How old are you Jay?
End what with?
An addendum to my earlier message on the direction of political discourse in this country: I said earlier that people in this country seem to only desire media that says what they wants to hear, that supports their own beliefs and doesn't challenge them. The people I'm referring to are both liberal and conservative. There is no desire to really hear and understand both sides of an issue, there's just a desire to have someone else, a news media or web site, justify their position. This is sad. What's even sadder is that both liberals and conservatives will read this and say they've already heard the other side and they don't want any part of it, and this sort of degradation of political discussion will continue....continue into the 3rd-grade playground kind of name calling direction its been headed for several years. I, for one, don't want to watch a great nation such as ours decline in this manner.
Actually, the only time Medved takes a call that agrees with him, is when he has on a guest from the left. He makes mincemeat out of every caller. He's much tougher than Rush.
There's an additional, even more direct, harm as well. Last week, a county in Oregon stopped issuing ANY marriage licenses, including to heterosexual couples, because they were prevented from issuing them to homosexual couples. This could ultimately destroy the legal institution of marriage, which in turn has the potential of destroying our society!
