It is time for the "are you gay?" test. We need to idenfity which BHC memebers are gay and which ones are not. Please post if you are gay or not. Thank you. 1. If you are over thirty and you have a washboard stomach, you are gay. It means you haven't sucked back enough beer with the boys and have spent the rest of your free time doing sit-ups, aerobics, and doing the Oprah diet. 2. If you have a cat, you are a Flaaaaming homo. A cat is like a dog, but gay - it grooms itself constantly but never scratches itself, has a delicate touch except when it uses its nails, and whines to be fed. And just think about how you call a dog... "Killer, come here! I said get your a$$ over here, Killer!" Now think about how you call a cat..."Bun-bun, come to daddy, snookums!" Jeeezus, you're fit to be framed, you're so gay. 3. If you suck on lollipops, Ring-Pops, baby pacifiers, or any such nonsense, rest assured, you are a Gaylord. A straight man only suks on bar-b-que ribs, crab claws, raw oysters, crawfish guts, pickled pigs feet, or boobs. Anything else and you are in training to suck El ****o and undeniably a f.a.g. 4. If you refuse to take a dump in a public bathroom or piss in a parking lot, you crave a deep homosexual relationship. A man's world is his bathroom; he defecates and urinates where he pleases. 5. If you drinkdecaf coffee with skim milk, you like a high hard one in the poop chute. Coffee is to be hard strong, black, and full aroma. A straight man will never be heard ordering a "Decaf Cafe Latte with Skim" and he will never, ever know what artificial sweetener tastes like. If you've had NutraSweet in your mouth, you've had a man there, too. 6. If you know more than six names of colors or four different types of dessert, you might as well be handing out free a$$ passes. A real man doesn't have memory space in his brain to remember all of that crap as well as all the names of all the players in the Major league, NFL, NHL, college ball, PGA and NASCAR. If you can pick out chartreuse or you know what a "fressier" is you're gay. And if you can name ANY type of textile other than denim, you are faggadocious. 7. If you drive with both hands on the wheel, forget it, you're dying to tune a meat whistle. A man only puts both hands on the wheel to honk at a slow-a$$ driver or to cut the punk off. The rest of the time he needs that hand to change the radio station, eat a hamburger, hold his beer, or play with his honey in the passenger seat......!!
Another early user of the term was James Madison, the principal drafter of the United States Bill of Rights. In a 1789 debate in the House of Representatives regarding the draft of the First Amendment, the following was said: August 15, 1789. Mr. [Peter] Sylvester [of New York] had some doubts...He feared it [the First Amendment] might be thought to have a tendency to abolish religion altogether...Mr. [Elbridge] Gerry [of Massachusetts] said it would read better if it was that "no religious doctrine shall be established by law."...Mr. [James] Madison [of Virginia] said he apprehended the meaning of the words to be, that "Congress should not establish a religion, and enforce the legal observation of it by law."...[T]he State...seemed to entertain an opinion that under the clause of the Constitution...it enabled them [Congress] to make laws of such a nature as might...establish a national religion; to prevent these effects he presumed the amendment was intended...Mr. Madison thought if the word "National" was inserted before religion, it would satisfy the minds of honorable gentlemen...He thought if the word "national" was introduced, it would point the amendment directly to the object it was intended to prevent.[28] Madison contended "Because if Religion be exempt from the authority of the Society at large, still less can it be subject to that of the Legislative Body."[29] Several years later he wrote of "total separation of the church from the state."[30] "Strongly guarded as is the separation between Religion & Govt in the Constitution of the United States", Madison wrote,[31] and he declared, "practical distinction between Religion and Civil Government is essential to the purity of both, and as guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States."[32] In a letter to Edward Livingston Madison further expanded, "We are teaching the world the great truth that Govts. do better without Kings & Nobles than with them. The merit will be doubled by the other lesson that Religion flourishes in greater purity, without than with the aid of Govt."[33] This attitude is further reflected in the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom, originally authored by Jefferson and championed by Madison, and guaranteeing that no one may be compelled to finance any religion or denomination.
No surprise to some of you, but I failed the gay test miserably. Colors, desserts, and textiles just killed me. Oh snap.....
Read the first paragraph. It clearly states that the intent is to prevent a national religion or laws regarding such religous beliefs. Again, the words separation of church and state are not in the constitution. The left today is trying to abolish anything pertaining to religion from government and that is not the intent of the first ammendment sent from my samsung note 2
This was from the link provided. The United States Supreme Court has referenced the separation of church and state metaphor more than 25 times, though not always fully embracing the principle, saying "the metaphor itself is not a wholly accurate description of the practical aspects of the relationship that in fact exists between church and state".[36]*In*Reynolds, the Court denied the free exercise claims of Mormons in the Utah territory who claimedpolygamy*was an aspect of their religious freedom. The Court used the phrase again by Justice Hugo Black in 1947 in*Everson. The term has been used heavily by the Court, but is not unanimously held. In a minority opinion inWallace v. Jaffree, Justice Rehnquist presented the view that the establishment clause was intended to protect local establishments of religion from federal interference. Rehnquist made numerous citations of cases that rebutted the idea of a total wall of separation between Church and State. A result of such reasoning was Supreme Court support for government payments to faith-based community projects. Justice Scalia has criticized the metaphor as a bulldozer removing religion from American public life.[37]See also:*Pledge of Allegiance Last sentence Justice Scalia has criticized the metaphor as a bulldozer removing religion from American public life.[37]See also:*Pledge of Allegiance sent from my samsung note 2
This thread makes me think about eating petit fours while wrapped up in fuschia pink, silk sheets........... with Germ.
No disrespect, but did you read my post above from Wikepedia about what Madison, the drafter of the 1st amendment said about his intent? I have voted in every election since I was 18 and the only Democrat I have ever voted for was Phil Gramm in the 70's before he switched over to a Republican. But the right wing zealots of the Republican party want to label people like me with being "leftist" and immoral because we can separate our own personal beliefs and realize how imposing them onto others infringe on their freedoms. Forget the separation issue for a moment and what your own personal belief of gay marriage and lets just focus on the constitution. Please tell me what part of the constitution is violated by gay marriage. I am far from a scholar or historian but isn't there something about " the right to pursue happiness"? As the character Andy Griffith said in one episode, what looks like fightin to some folks is dancin to others. If the zealots of the republican party want to stop gay marriage, they had better start the amendment process sooner rather than later, because without it, banning gay marriage will not hold water against the existing constitution and eventually the Supreme Court will rule that way,IMO. As far as me, I think we have a lot more important issues that need to be dealt with such as out of control spending rather than worrying about whether Sally and Debbie want to hold hands and receive the same legal protections/rights as my wife and I do.
I read it and he clearly prefaces with the intent. The constitution doesn't cover gay marriage or abortion imo. I dont think someone has a right to put something in their mouth. Sorry but I just don't. Completely different than woman voting or blacks having freedom. Imho sent from my samsung note 2
Wow, this thread really took off. I wish I could've got in on the argument, but I've been sobbing quietly at work over being called a dumb redneck. My feelings are beyond hurt. Why is nobody sensitive to how I feel?!
Who cares if gays get married? The real travesty here is gays in the NFL! First the military and now this?? Watch your back hunters, you're next!
