Is it a surprise that it was a Fox station that made racist jokes about the Asiana airline pilots?
Thanks for the shout out Smugley..........and indeed, I already posted this twice. I was torn between APPALLED at the lack of professionalism and blatant racism......... but I was too busy laughing my azz off, and cleaning tea off my keyboard, after I spit tea all over my keyboard when I first saw this and immediately got the joke. But then when I actually watched the VIDEO and listened to the airhead, actually REPEAT all 4 names outloud................and then blithely continue on, without even realizing what she had just said............... that was PRICELESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! As Smugley said on my question..........that was just pure comedy GOLD!!!!!!!!!! How the HECK could ANYONE------even the imbeciles at FOX..........NOT have caught a name like HO LEE FOOK ? (Yahoo won't let me put the real spelling they used) Like Sum Ting Wong, just wasn't OBVIOUS enough.......much less the other 3. I should have instantly known FOX was involved. It was deplorable.
Do you think IRAN CONTRA was overblown by the LIBERAL media?
Even if corners were cut, Iran-Contra was a brilliant scheme. There is no possibility that anyone in any Democratic administration would have gone to such lengths to fund anti-Communist forces. When Democrats scheme from the White House, it's to cover up the President's affair with an intern. When Republicans scheme, it's to support embattled anti-Communist freedom fighters sold out by the Democrats!
The Episcopal Church is famous for being liberal. Would it trouble you if the rector of your parish were gay?
I’m not there yet. During what I call “The Episcopal Wars” around 2000 - 2010, prompted by the election of the Rt. Rev. V. Gene Robinson as Bishop of New Hampshire, I was very involved in conversations around those issues, and was on the “losing” side.My arguments were not so much about homosexuality, as about the role assigned to Scripture in general. Having a conservative view about that, I also had a conservative view of homosexuality. What I wanted were some gay Christians who shared my understanding of the authoritative role of the Bible, but disagreed about the implications for homosexuality.And over those years (and subsequent) I have begun to find some. My position is changing. But it is in a state of change, not of arrived and settled acceptance. I may get there, or I may get off this ride on the same side I got on. “Don’t speak to soon, for the wheel’s still in spin,For the times, they are a-changin’ ”I went through something similar about female priesthood.When I was a Baptist, we didn’t have women leaders, based on how we read St. Paul. The ECUSA was just beginning with that when I was confirmed, and I was uncomfortable with it. After about 10 years, I understood it better, but was still uncomfortable.I sometimes thought that I wished I felt called to a parish that had a female head priest, so that I would have to struggle with the issue in fact, and not just in theory. Eventually that happened. both with a parish I joined, and with several I worked with in various ways.And I found my opinion changed. I read more, I learned more, I understood better, and I met some very fine women - whose gift and calling I would have been willfully blind to not see. A few not so good, but I have known a few men who were rotten priests as well. The women have come off pretty well on the whole.If something similar was to happen with a gay priest, it would also be something for me to struggle with, and might both speed up and amplify the intensity of my struggle.It might serve to inform it, one way or the other.And that might be a good thing. Struggle often is.
