I mean most appear to me to believe they're BORN gay....even though there's been no support to it being caused by a 'gay gene'. If that were true, then it seems to be more would be born gay.
I think Linda was a gay man before and had a sex change operation to let her real feelings come out.

If it was any other board besides the Outhouse, you might be right but given the fact the reverend recruited everyone from this board to come over, I highly doubt that he would allow someone to post over there using a highjacked ID especially if someone highjacked a neocon ID from here.
Plus if all the neocons were at the board and saw a LINDA_K id over there, and you didnt actually sign up, I would think some of your neocon friends would email you and ask if yuo signed up.
So your excuses do not fly in this case my dear.

Democrats trying to make political hay out of the resignation of Florida Republican Congressman Mark Foley should take a good look at their own party. There was Bill Clinton’s last minute pardon of former Rep. Mel Reynolds, D-IL, who had been imprisoned for having sex with a 16-year-old staffer. (He was later hired by Jesse Jackson’s Rainbow/PUSH Coalition; both Clinton and Jackson had also had sex with subordinates.) There is the case of Rep. Barney Frank, D-MA, whose office housed a prostitution ring. However, less known is one Hawaiian case, in which more than seven high ranking Democrat senators and representatives (and one Republican) worked to assist one Leon Rouse – a convicted child molester serving time on underage sex charges in the Philippines. Rouse, now released after 8 years in prison, was hired last session as an employee of a Democrat-controlled Hawaii state Legislative Committee. 2008 Democratic presidential hopeful Russ Feingold also came to his defense, along with a Clinton-era U.S. embassy and more than half-a-dozen Democrats.
Arrested in the Philippines on October 4, 1995, and later convicted for paying 200 pesos to have sex with a 15-year-old boy, Leon Rouse served eight years of a 10-to-15-year sentence in New Bilibid Prison in Muntinlupa City. After complaining of kidney stones, he was released by the Philippine authorities on September 29, 2003, and immediately deported to the U.S. As a condition of his release, he was banished from the Philippines for life.
In spite of being a convicted child molester, Rouse has received extensive help from many elected Democrats and one Republican. According to the May 22, 2005, Honolulu Advertiser:
U.S. Sen. Dan Inouye, D-HI, and U.S. Sen. Daniel Akaka, D-HI, informed a friend of Rouse’s on Maui that they had written to the Philippine ambassador to the United States. Both the late U.S. Rep. Patsy Mink, D-HI, and U.S. Rep. Neil Abercrombie, D-HI, wrote to the State Department.
In Rouse’s home state of Wisconsin, U.S. Sen. Russell Feingold, D-WI, and U.S. Sen. Herb Kohl, D-WI, along with several U.S. House members, wrote letters for Rouse. U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum, R-PA, one of the most conservative members of the Senate, wrote to the State Department, as did U.S. Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-NY, among the most liberal members of the House of Representatives…
Former Big Island [Democratic] State Sen. Andrew Levin wrote to the American ambassador in Manila to look into whether Rouse was denied due process. Levin also asked then-[Hawaiian Democratic] Gov. Ben Cayetano’s office for advice about whether the [Democrat-controlled] state Legislature should pass a resolution requesting that Congress investigate Rouse’s plight.
Former Hawaii State Democratic chair Richard Port wrote a 2005 opinion column in support of Rouse.
According to an October 29, 2002, article in the Wisconsin gay community newspaper In Step:
Rouse has been actively pursuing his case from prison, personally and through family and friends, contacting several members of the U.S. Congress for help. Rouse and supporters wrote letters to Rep. Gerald Kleczka, Rep. Tom Barrett, Rep. Nancy Pelosi, Rep. Tammy Baldwin, Sen. Russell Feingold, Sen. Herb Kohl, and Sen. Daniel Inouye. Personal pleas were also made to the Philippine Ambassador to the United States and other government officials, all to little effect.
In recent years, Rouse also corresponded with [then-] Milwaukee Archbishop Rembert Weakland. Weakland wrote a letter to Cardinal Jaime Sin of the Philippines, asking for help on Rouse’s behalf.
(Weakland, one of the most liberal Catholic Archbishops, resigned in disgrace in 2002 after revelations of a sex-and-hush-money scandal.)
It is not clear whether Pelosi acted in support of Rouse; it would be most instructive to find out, as she has demanded House Republican leaders step down if they failed to act in response to Foley’s advances toward an underage boy.
The Clinton-era U.S. Embassy in Manila contacted the Philippine authorities on Rouse’s behalf. (The arrest came nine months after the Philippine authorities thwarted an al-Qaeda plot, known as “Operation Bojinka,” to bomb numerous commercial flights out of Manila – including at least one headed for Honolulu.)
Given these levels of support one might expect that Rouse had an exculpatory story, but even the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, in a July, 2005 report on an appeal by Rouse – a report which Rouse claims proves his innocence – describes the circumstances of Rouse’s arrest in damning terms:
Around noon on the day of arrest, he [Rouse] arrived at Pichay Lodging House, where he saw Harty Dancel, a former acquaintance, accompanied by two individuals, Pedro Augustin and Godfrey Domingo. The four of them had lunch in a restaurant, where Dancel offered Godfrey to have sex with the author. The author refused, arguing that the latter was too young, even after Dancel insisted and assured him he had reached the age of majority.
Later in the day, the same three persons waited for the author at his hotel. Dancel had them invited to the author’s room. After the author [Rouse] had taken a shower, Dancel and Augustin left the room, leaving him alone with Godfrey. The latter requested to use the bathroom, where he undressed. When there were knocks on the door, the author opened, and police officers entered. At that moment, neither the author nor Godfrey wore clothes.
In the initial Philippine court decision the events are described thus:
On or about the 4th day of October 1995, in the City of Laoag, Philippines, and within the jurisdiction of this Honorable Court, the herein accused did then and there, willfully, unlawfully, and feloniously by using his adult influence and promising to pay 200 pesos ($3.79 US), engage one Godfrey Domingo, a male child who is below 18 years of age, as in fact he is 15 years old, for lascivious acts and committed said acts by masturbating and sucking the penis of the child and inserting his penis into the anus of the child all of which acts were committed by the accused on said child at Room 205 of the Pichay Lodging House at Laoag City, but which acts although already performed by the accused on the child was discontinued due to the intervention of the police who apprehended the accused who was then naked and in the company of Godfrey Domingo who was also naked in Room 205 of the Pichay Lodging House.
Rouse appealed all the way to the Philippine Supreme Court where his appeal was denied on April 23, 2003.
When Rouse was deported back to the United States, he returned to Hawaii where he had been a gay rights activist in the early 1990s and helped State Senator Brian Kanno, D-Kapolei, launch his political career. Rouse’s activism extends back to his native Wisconsin, where the gay magazine Blueboy describes him as the first to use gay rights as an excuse to drive the military off campus:
The current nationwide movement to force ROTC, and by extension the Department of Defense, to stop discriminating against sexual non-conformists or to get off campus began in 1982, when Wisconsin became the first state to pass a lesbian and gay civil rights law. Two students at the University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee, Eric Jernberg and Leon Rouse, decided to ask their school to adhere to the spirit of the new law by suspending participation in the ROTC program if that program continued to violate the terms of the statute.
The anti-military campaign started by Rouse in 1982 was finally put to an end 24 years later by the unanimous March 6, 2006, Supreme Court ruling upholding the Solomon Amendment which requires federally funded colleges to allow access to military recruiters.
Democrats’ support for Rouse extends beyond helping win his release from prison. When he returned to Hawaii, State Senator Roz Baker, D-Maui, gave Rouse a recommendation for a cabin-boy job with Norwegian Cruise Lines. Rouse took the job May 2, 2004, but didn’t last long. On June 11, 2004, he was fired and thrown off the ship at a port call in California after being accused of sexually harassing his male co-workers.
When news of Rouse’s firing reached his friends in the Hawaii Legislature, they immediately sprung into action. According to an article in Hawaii Reporter:
Kanno asked his colleagues, both House and Senate elected officials, to sign a letter demanding that the company rehire Rouse or pay him restitution and travel expenses. The letter dated Aug. 24, 2004, to Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL), was signed by Democrat Senators Kanno, Baker, Suzanne Chun Oakland, Brian Taniguchi and Carol Fukunaga – all chairs of their respective committees. In addition, House Chairs Roy Takumi, Kenneth Hiraki and Eric Hamakawa [all Democrats] signed the letter.
Kanno also introduced a resolution (SR65) requiring the cruise line to detail its sexual harassment policy, and demanded that the state Department of Taxation consider mandating the cruise line pay Hawaii’s 7.25 percent transient accommodations tax. The Senate members who signed the resolution include: Sens. Carol Fukunaga, Roz Baker, Brian Kanno, Gary Hooser, Clarence Nishihara, Ron Menor, Russell Kokubun, Kalani English, Colleen Hanabusa and Brian Taniguchi. [All are Democrats.]
Hooser, Hanabusa, and Menor were all competitive but unsuccessful candidates this year for the Democratic Party nomination for Congress, 2nd District of Hawaii.
When NCL refused to bend to the legislators’ demands, Sen. Kanno helped Rouse get a job as office manager for State Representative Rida Cabanilla, D-Waipahu. Rouse resigned that position in April, 2005 as news of his criminal record came to light. But that was not the end of Rouse career as a legislative aide. In full knowledge of his conviction, Rouse was then hired in a new position serving one of his original sponsors, Sen Roz Baker, D-Maui, as a legislative assistant. This made Rouse the only employee of a State legislature anywhere in the United States known to have a criminal record for child molestation.
Rouse’s position under Baker expired with the end of the Hawaii Legislative session. It is possible he will be rehired for the next session.
Those who wish to instruct the Republican Party on how to deal with pedophiles might begin by purging such as Rouse from their ranks.

Religious Right Strangely Silent About Foley
If there's one thing you have to concede to America's Religious Right, it's that these folks have an amazing media and public relations network and can issue press releases, get on television and radio and, when they really want to, mobilize their lemming-like flock faster than Jack Abramoff can bribe a Republican Congressman.
And yet here we sit, four days after it was revealed that Republican Congressman Mark Foley was using the Internet to go after teenaged boys, and all you can hear from our own little version of the Taliban is dead quiet and crickets chirping.
Odd, isn’t it? The same people who can move their followers to boycott any company that believes gay people even have the right to exist, can't muster much outrage over one of their own preying on young boys and, more importantly, the Republican leadership in the House of Representatives ignoring it to save their political hides.
With the news out since Friday, James Dobson's Focus on the Family (FOF) still doesn’t say a word about it on their web site. In fact, if you go there right now and do a search on "Mark Foley," the closest thing you'll find citing Foley is a statement from March 2006 entitled More Funding Needed to Combat Child Porn.
They quote Foley in that piece as expressing concern that children will continue to be victimized if Congress does not act more proactively against child predators.
"We are still not funding it enough," they quote Foley as saying. "This is one of the most pervasive, dangerous elements in our society."
You just can't make this stuff up.
Meanwhile, the FOF site found plenty of time in their CitizenLink News Center to do 49 "news" stories in September covering a whole bunch of stuff including the presidential line-item veto, the Child Interstate Abortion Notification Act and rapidly urging members to "thank Gov. Schwarzenegger" for vetoing two pieces of California legislation "aimed at advancing the homosexual agenda" but that, to sane people, were really just simple antidiscrimination bills.
They also marshaled their forces to harangue U.S. Senators to confirm George W. Bush's judicial nominees and, as recently as Monday, publicized Pray for Children Weekend to promote "a drug-free and safe" life for children.
I guess to the folks at FOF, that doesn’t include getting indignant about children not being safe when they're preyed upon by a right-wing, church-going Republican.
Meanwhile, the ultraconservative Family Research Council (FRC) isn’t paying a lot more attention to this either. The FRC web site's banner headline on Monday remained Democrats Kill Parental Notification Bill in reference to a vote made by the Senate on Friday to shelve a bill that prohibited minors from going across state lines with a non-parental relative to get an abortion.
The most recent updates from FRC chief Tony Perkins' Washington Update are The ACLU versus America and Protecting Parents Rights to Notification, the latter charmingly promoted by the FRC as an issue so important that followers should "urge Senators to protect minor girls from abortion predators."
But there's just not much there about protecting teens from Republicans on Capitol Hill who admire their "cute butt(s)" and are willing to "…drive a few miles for a hot stud" like one of the young Congressional pages.
In fairness to the FRC, they did finally issue a press release from Tony Perkins late Monday, saying that he is "shocked by this spectacle of aberrant sexual behavior." They then turned right around and subtly placed the blame on the gay community, saying that "this is the end result of a society that rejects sexual restraints in the name of diversity."
The "letters campaign" section of Gary Bauer's amusingly-named American Values web site is still goading supporters to write to Washington about how much gay people are threatening heterosexual marriage -- but not a thing about one of their guys going after young boys on the Internet.
A quick check on the American Family Association finds them whipping their minions into a frenzy over Madonna Set To Mock The Crucifixion of Christ and urging them to collectively send one million e-mails to NBC to protest an upcoming Madonna appearance. They also continue their long history of anti-gay activity by prompting their 3.3 million supporters to keep boycotting Ford Motor Company due to what they allege is Ford's "funding homosexual groups and promoting homosexual marriage."
Finally, Jerry Falwell's National Liberty Journal newspaper is currently going after the interstate abortion bill and urging disciples to push the issue of "religious accommodation in public schools," while saying absolutely nothing about Mark Foley's adventures in pedophilia.
Of course, Falwell's the same pious dude who outed 'Tinky Winky' of the children's television show, Teletubbies, in the February 1999 edition of his newspaper and warned parents to keep their kids away from the show.
"He is purple - the gay-pride color; and his antenna is shaped like a triangle, the gay-pride symbol," wrote Falwell of his proof that it was only a matter of time before Tinky Winky moved to Massachusetts. "As a Christian I feel that role modeling the gay lifestyle is damaging to the moral lives of children."
So there you have it -- the true face of the Religious Right measured in deeds and not words.
They'll go out of their way to rally their followers to keep gay people from getting married, boycott corporations acknowledging that right, demonize legislators and judges who dare keep Church away from State and even attack children's-television characters.
But nary a word about a Republican Congressman, who is co-chairman of the Missing and Exploited Children’s Caucus, trolling for teen sex partners among Congressional pages, and being protected via a cover-up by the House Republican leadership.
I'm sure the letter-writing campaign to House Speaker Dennis Hastert will begin the minute they’ve taken care of that Madonna situation.

roadsmith....you'd better start reading something other than the Treason Times to get the FULL story.
foley has a history of 'hitting on gay, male pages' after they leave DC.
As do/have other congressional leaders. They're NOT hitting on straight pages. LOL
Nope...they're gay men who go after gay teens. Like many gays do. That's why so many American's oppose them being 'leaders' in groups like the Boy Scouts. No need to give them another 'source' to meet their sexual needs.
This page isn't foley's first. And IF any of you defenders of this behavior want to actually check out the FACTS.....you can find out for yourselves what the 'age of consent' is in DC....where this has taken place many times before....and by other democrats too. Ones who remained in their positions even after they pulled this with what WE consider underaged teens.
When does a child become an adult then in your opinion. These interns were teenagers.
Learn something logansdad.....read for yourself the 'age of consent' in DC.
While the democratic party complains about everything THIS President does to protect our Nation:
What would a Democrat president have done at that point? Apparently, the answer is: Sit back and wait for the next terrorist attack.

I am a Democrat. I have been for years. However, I believe the Democratic Leadership has truly lost its way.
For example ...
The Foley matter has superseded the recent tragedies of three school shootings within eight days. In two of the three shootings, outsiders chose school children as targets for death and mayhem. Six young women were violently sent to their deaths, and more were sexually abused. The toll of mental abuse and anguish will never be soothed or extinguished.
Yet, the Democrats, both leaders and candidates, have taken up the chant of concern for the "children," who serve as Pages in Congress. The Democrats have not said one word of concern for the murder victims who were also children. Instead, the Democrats have directed their concern to the purported sexual advances of a gay Republican Congressman. This concern which is built upon the current media hype, is where the Democrats perceive a political advantage.
The Democratic Party is weak and without direction. Call the Republicans scum if you need to vent on something. However, the Democrats lack a soul, and are devoid of leadership.
If you want to write, write your Congressman and demand that they provide for the safety of our children in the school room.

kozersky,
The heading says "Another Republican Scumbag" so the posters are talking about
"Another Republican Scumbag" a Republican Congressman pedophile that prays on young boys.
Of course you are right to worrying about school safety. The school shootings are terrible and much needs to be done. Please start a topic with the heading about school shootings.
I think you will get lots of replays about the school shootings issue.
Both parties have had time since the shootings at Columbine to do something. All I have heard is just LIP SERVICE ABOUT THE SHOOTINGS AND LITTLE ELSE. But maybe I missed something?
posted on October 5, 2006 05:23:44 AM new
call me cynical, but what would EITHER party actually do about the school shootings other than pay them lip service? There's already plenty of legislation in effect in this regard, and it's really up to states and school districts and local parents to ensure the safety of kids in school. The last thing I'd welcome is interference on a federal level. God knows we've got enough already with Bush's No Child Left Untested program.
kozensky, you're right on the mark about the Dem's. I heard one talking head the other day say that the Dem's haven't had such a huge opportunity in 40 years, and if they can't seize it they may well go the way of the Whigs, who couldn't figure out how to take a stand against slavery prior to the Civil War and as a result, faded into obscurity.

WASHINGTON (Oct. 5) - Speaker Dennis Hastert's job is on the line as members of the House ethics committee decide how to launch a credible investigation of former Rep. Mark Foley's salacious computer messages to teenage pages.
An extraordinary political spectacle surrounded the committee's first scheduled meeting Thursday. Republicans publicly blamed Hastert for failing to take action after he was warned about the messages, and a former Foley aide said he told Republican leaders about the Florida congressman's conduct years earlier than they have acknowledged.
