In Moscow, American Runner Dedicates His Medal To Gay Friends
NPR ^ | 8/14/13 | Eyder Peralta

The two-time U.S. Olympian Nick Symmonds won the silver medal in the 800 meter race, yesterday, in the IAAF World Athletics Championships in Moscow.

That wasn't the news, however. Instead, the news became Symmonds' dedication of his medal to his gay and lesbian friends.

The official state news agency RIA Novosti reported that the middle distance runner became the first athlete "to openly criticize Russia's controversial anti-gay law on the country's soil."

The Cid,

I like those waffle fries. I even tempt fate, and do them at least twice a month.

I WILL take a risk.

LOL,

Well, when one insists on going drunken keyboarding on the information superhighway, one must accept the consequences of ending up as road kill on the side of the highway.

I always take responsibility for my faux pas. We all make these mistakes, its a human trait. Owning up them is what separates out the clowns.

Being a stubborn fool when you know you’re wrong, is a clear indication of low intelligence.

My profundity.

I know what you mean. For two decades I’ve been the most pro-”Buy American” guy around. I even remember one time driving an extra thirty miles to go to another store, just to purchase a box of some specifically ‘made-in-America’ thumbtacks.

But with endless American corporations and businesses pushing fag-marriage, and America itself going down this same deviant path and embracing evil, there’s just no longer any point anymore.

I’m buycotting Chick Fil-A for lunch tomorrow...”

Well, I’ve begun my temporary boycott again because they no longer have Peach Shakes. They have ruined my dining out life. I shall not be back to normal until late next spring when they bring them back again. How can they do this?

He talks about “kicking his opponent’s ass.” NPR article. Queer bait.
This is a triple sick bagger.

He owned up to his slip. Cut him some slack!

I am thinking of BUYCOTTING Chick a fil, also.

Incidentally, The History Channel is doing a series of stories on Your Bleeped up Brain that demonstrates how easily one's brain plays tricks on a person. We can all be fooled by expecting the familiar.

So very,very special--like Hagel granting up to 10 days military leave (not counted against their 30 day per yr. leave) so homo couples can travel to states that will marry them. Then, Sept 3, this year, they will receive full marital benefits-housing, etc.

The Russians are so much more civilized in protecting their society than we are. 24/7, we have their preciousness in our face because having perverted sex is so special.

Just reread today on rense.com/general32/americ/htm (sorry, don't know how to make it live) the goals for Communism that were read into the Congressional Record Jan. 10, 1963.

#26--"Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as normal, healthy, and natural." Most of the others have also come to pass already.

Incidentally, 1963 was when the Supreme Court took prayer out of the schools.

Please go to rence.com and read these goals and pass them on. Every American should know them.
