"Gay marriage is a laudable goal. Repealing DADT has merit."

If one were to replace 'gay marriage' with another subject, say Latinos or African Americans, this statements would be considered  racist by some, as would their author.

As Lemos actually reads, I'm struck by any hint of moral outrage over the fact that GLBT's do not have equal rights.  Indeed, the way the right to serve as well as equal rights for families are treated like mere trifles, some may consider the statements and their author to be homophobic.   Who knows?

But the word obtuse sure seems apt.

Though there's no guarantee either side will leave next week's meeting happy

Why on earth should progressives be concerned about whether Obama is "happy".

After all, he and his family enjoy a plethora of equal rights and all the benefits that go with them.

Us gays, not so much.

stop circling the wagons, grow a pair, and demand that Obama fulfill his campaign promises!

After all, self-loathing is so 1980's!

is silly, and defending the honor of the pirates is offensive.

another person while holding an AK-47 to their head is a thug, and the world is a better off without them.

The moral relativism that we are seeing on the left today regarding the atrocities committed by these pirates is vile.

I stand by my statement.

The world is better off without these three thugs!

I give this one to Pat.  O'Donnell has clearly lost it and comes off as a raving lunatic.

I like Ford.  I'm completely fine with Ford at Commerce.

I'm really going to enjoy sitting back and watching MSNBC, Talking Points, NYT, WaPo, Kos, et al. throw their fits!

Romney should have been on the ticket, in either slot.

His executive, economic, and managerial accomplishments are solid.

Good riddance!

Both John and Elizabeth are guilty of hubris for putting their own personal ambitions above the Democrat's dream of retaking the White House.

I agree with you 100%.  The Edwardses marriage is indeed their own business and I'm not judging their marriage.

However, that has nothing to do with the premise of my diary.
