The foreign press, the American press, the democrats, the left in general, the mainstream media, all derived a perverse pleasure from taking this subject matter and shoving it in the face of the mainstream America who believe, though perverse behavior, leave them to themselves, but get it out of our face. We are raising children and making the country operate.

I believe they think they validate themselves as being slightly smarter than us, more enlightened than normal Amlericans, ahead of the social evolutionary curve and we simply do not measure up. Their parties are broadcast on TV and they are pictured on the tabloids. This is validation in their minds.

They forget that brokeback cowboys die an average of 25 years earlier than average. And this is smart? I have to attend continuing medical education with full-day seminars on gay bowel disease. Yes, they have full chapters in medical textbooks to cover their 'unique' disease processes which, statistically, are occurring at a negligible rate in straight America. Yet the ship of public opinion is slowly being turned, towards acceptance of the unacceptible.

I am a dinosaur in my perspective. I believe abortion is wrong. I believe homosexual behavior is wrong. I believe sexual immorality is wrong. I believe lying is wrong. I believe old fashion American ideals are right and good. I believe freedom is worth fighting for, but not the kind of brokeback libertine behavior they extole and propagate. I believe it is reasonable and acceptible for the President of the Umited States of America to do everything he can to protect its citizens, up to and including, tapping phonecalls from suspected terrorists in to America. I believe the parents in this country should raise their children, not government education. I believe the inexorable decline in decency in this country is linked to these people who seek to tell young people that their parents were wrong to say these things and that they should forget what their parents said and embrace these new age ideals.

But the bastards won't take me. Not alive, anyway. I am going down with my teeth snapping.

Will someone please tell me what in hell is Larry McMurtry doing associated with this junk? Didn't he write Lonesome Dove?

And while George Clooney is celebrating at Chateau Marmonte GWB is packing the Supreme Court with like-minded Conservatives.

Thanks for the reminder. You just made my day.

Hey, Bad. You're right. I've noticed that as well. Starting with the radio ads. Totally deceptive.

Well, at least the theaters claim 'no one under seventeen admitted'. What ever that's worth.

It seems inevitable now. Once gays were invited into our living rooms to 'decorate' and solicited from them advice on wardrobe and fashion, the taboo weakened. Women accepted them: "What could possibly be wrong with my 'hairdresser' and 'interior designer'"?

Wrong! Since you're new here, that explains why you think FR is 'gay-friendly'.

Damn--your pic of Scarlett johansson wouldn't open---
just when I thought this thread was losing all hope.
There should be a special category on FR---all Scarlett all the time. Nothing put pix of her. I would never tire of it.

Who cares about these awards anyway. I am just reading this because I am stuck at work and don't have anything else new to read.
Have you noticed how movie stars always get hooked up with other movie stars. Very rarely do you ever see one of them with say a doctor, engineer, scientist or college professor. Typically they are running off with the baby sitter or someone like that. They are idiots just look kind of good.

You are absolutely correct. For entertainment, I am on ROME, Lost, 24 and Sopranos. Movies nowadays I can hardly get thru them. They are utterly boring or I get sick of the political message
