Rachel Maddow Interviews Lt. Dan Choi - Fired by the Army for being gay

Aug 1, 2011 - Are we surprised with huge "demonstrations" against the war in Iraq or against Israel, which have tens of thousands of students and Commie-led student groups -- and virtually no one else?But once again, I digress.We dished up "civil rights" as a means to atone for slavery, and for a set of further wrongs done by Democrats called Jim Crow laws.Now, of course, Hispanics want special group rights. We don't owe Mexicans a dime, but... politicians start handing out the candy...

jessemckay Says:

Aug 1, 2011 - ... and they don't know when to stop, because group rights are like candy. Sugary sweet, but not particularly good for you.There are always idiot brigades out there screaming human rights this, and animal rights that, and Gandhi done hit me with a wiffle-ball bat. These are the agitators, and they agitate because it works. We should pay them no attention.We know what rights are. Our rights came from God. We can't improve rights by papering them over and making stupid litle compacts.

jessemckay Says:

Aug 1, 2011 - I'm serious. We were born into this world, endowed by our Creator with certain inalienable rights. Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are among those rights. Property rights, I would argue, are in that list.God did not endow you with the right to sodomy. Pumping butts, fisting cracks, oh geez, what in the world gave you the idea that something holy should be corrupted like that?

jessemckay Says:

Aug 1, 2011 - Good laws are simple. Everyone can understand them. People can essentially agree to be bound by them, because that's what laws do -- they bind us. You can spot a bad law a mile away because it's huge and convoulted. This "Obamacare" thing -- terrible law. I understand it takes three pages just to say "Louisiana."Our constitution is nice and tight, with 27 amendments. Mexico's constitution has 136 articles. It's a real doozy; you should take a look.

jessemckay Says:

Aug 1, 2011 - "In for a penny, in for a pound."You can't 'deserve' your rights. You can't work hard all day, every day to 'earn' your rights. You have them and they are inviolable -- or you don't, and never did.There is no sense in pleading for the cause of gay rights saying that you should have them because you're only moderately gay (say, 10 sex partners/year instead of 100). Gay rights, if conferred, would apply to the most extreme case.God didn't create gay rights, so they are worthless.

jessemckay Says:

Aug 14, 2011 - @dynem216Don't get me wrong -- those elementary and junior high school test scores are lousy, but the college students are the best in the world and there are an awful lot of them.But you don't have to be a scientific person, or a genius, or have a Master's degree in English Literature to be a good voter. It takes the Marxist schools or universities months or years to indoctrinate our kids, but usually a few years working in the private sector fixes that.

jessemckay Says:

Aug 14, 2011 - American voters have an extra responsibility because America has been given so much power.Post-WWI Germany was a wreck. Its economy was in the dumper, they had buried so many dead, and yet the rest of Europe wanted reparations. Even though the Kaiser was gone, civilian government restored, and in just a few years the economy returned, the people were wanting in morals. Never was the ordinary German more fixated on corruption and debauchery.

jessemckay Says:

Aug 14, 2011 - In order to understand Germany in the 1930s, one must examine German society in the 1920s. They were corrupt, they were angry, they wanted a scapegoat, and when Hitler proffered Jews and Poles and Czechs, why, they were content to believe. It didn't bother them when the little man with the Charlie Chaplin mustache sidestepped civilian law and seized power. The Reichstag moment was a time when nobody was watching the watchers. And very soon after that it became too late.

jessemckay Says:

Aug 14, 2011 - Americans are so entrenched in the world that if we permit a Hitler, or a Tojo, or an Obama to seize power and set the wrecking ball in motion, nobody could stop it. We are close to that today.The common student needs to understand the machinations not only of the republic for which they stand -- but also of the little dictator; what he wants, how he achieves it, how he keeps operating.Before he was elected to office, Adolf Hitler wasn't a general. He was just a community organizer.

jessemckay Says:

Aug 14, 2011 - @dynem216 First, the word homophobic was coined by a 1970s author describing the guilt or self-loathing or worries straight people have about their own pseudo-gay proclivities. The word does not belong to gays. I think we should take it back.Second, you attack America's freedom when you declare that we don't have any, and that's a poor position for any soldier to take. This is a fantastic, amazing country, and if you don't think it's special, maybe you won't be willing to die for it.

jessemckay Says:

Aug 14, 2011 - Third, the tirade against Americans as being pro-slave is ignorant. Tisquantum (aka "Squanto") was probably the first person in the Americas enslaved by a white man, and he was not black. The first documented state--sanctioned slaveholder in America was a black man named Anthony Johnson.

jessemckay Says:

Aug 14, 2011 - Fourth, preconceived notions about race, ethnicity, national origin were certainly indigenous to the Old World and the New Testament idea promulgated in the Declaration of Independence clearly states that "all men are created equal, and endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights". That's the immortal declaration, and in time, all of these notions about Jews, Scotsmen, Dutchmen, Irishmen, Finns, Norwegians, Frenchmen, Indians, and Africans became settled.

biorgymd Says:

Aug 31, 2011 - I just got an email saying that Daniel Choi is facing 6 months in prison or a $5,000 for a protest outside the White House several months ago. I just hope Daniel Choi now understands and realizes that during his time in Iraq and Afghanistan that he was fighting for our freedoms in the wrong FUCKING country.

jessemckay Says:

Sep 1, 2011 - @zooooooperdooooooper "[D]ebate... with yourself?"Funny you should mention that.Just how many of you are there...?

jessemckay Says:

Sep 1, 2011 - @biorgymdAlthough I would of course applaud any jail time for Daniel Choi, there is basically no hope of this, He has become a rock star of the degenerate community and as such will avoid serious punishment during this hellbound administration.The joy of religion, the focus on the Hereafter instead of the Here, does provide some solace in that all of the secular confusion just disappears in the presence of God, who has already ruled on gays and gay marriage and LGBT and so forth.

jessemckay Says:

Sep 1, 2011 - But then, in fourteen months and four days we have the election, and in sixteen months and nineteen days we have the inauguration, and if God will permit us to cast off the Obamanation we hopefully will have a good chance to shrug off the glue-sniffers, the wingnuts, and these horrible things will come to an end.Of course, this much is not certain either. Help us, O God.
