Or a different starting point on the reasoning. I'm not pro abortion, but as a small l libertarian I think it should be legal but discouraged. If someone wants one they or their insurance can pay for it. I shouldn't have to pay for someone to have one. I don't care one way or another if someone is gay, but I've known some really good people who are gay. That matters about as much as their height or their skin color. The problem isn't their sexual orientation. It's the activists who are in your face demanding we do things their way. |

Do it 3 months after and you get a life sentence. Also, how is this in line with "do no harm"? Two guys can cross words or pound each in the ass or whatever until the end of time. They will never reproduce. They are nothing more than an anomaly in the course of existence, a brief blip that will vanish quickly and leave no (genetic) legacy. Not to be praised, applauded, special rules made for, or to force the masses to accept with open arms like "pro-homosexual" activists want. |

This. I mean does anyone actually know what his views are on anything? I don't know anything about the guy outside of his Exxon experiences..... When you get to that level of eliteness (?), you have been groomed and selected for years by the company and it's company men. They would play ball with the devil if it benefitted them or the company; and of that you should have no doubt. I couldn't tell you if he was a good man or not; what I have seen of these type guys is they couldn't give a fuck less of what you or I thought about anything. And that attitude starts way lower on their food chain. We are beneath them in their eyes. That's not to say they're not good at their job. But if it comes to their well being or yours; you're going to lose out. Period. Every time. They'll fill you full of bs, give you the pep talk, talk about teamwork; but the truth is, you (we) aren't part of the team; "they" are the team, we are minions. "They" won't be jumping on the grenade if it comes down to it. I'm not saying that he wouldn't be very beneficial on a SoS negotiating team; but I would really like to have J. Bolton as lead SoS. I still think he would have very strong ties to ExxonMobil afterward. Backroom deals with FHRC, that's probably not the only backroom deals that were made. There's a little saying about Exxon (look at a logo); the sign of the doublecross. Its not far from the truth. Course some will just call that high stakes corporate bidness. |

I have read one article stating Tillerson lobbied the Boy Scouts of America to let gay Scouts and gay adult leaders be in the BSA. I do not know whether this is true or not, and I don't know whether it was when he was BSA President or not. But if he did push BSA to let gay Scouts and gay adult leaders in, then I am pissed off at him. BSA was working perfectly fine and did not need to do that.
I'm not anti-gay in any way. But at the same time, it is pure social engineering within an organization that has religious and moral standards that do not necessarily approve of homosexuality. And letting openly gay adult leaders into Scouting puts Scouts at risk without doing anything to reinforce Scout Oath or Scout Law. |

I hate to see any politician champion ANY minority group, be it indians, blacks, gays/miscellaneous weirdos or whoever. As veteran, I'm also sick of all the veterans joining the FSA and don't like seeing people use us to advance their causes either. As far as abortion goes who defines when life begins? That is the crux of the issue. Taking a holesaw to a person at the earliest stages of development and sucking the pieces out with a vacuum seems a pretty crude and uncivilized method (government sanctioned) of killing a US citizen. |

I was talking to a guy originally from Syria and he had relatives both in the Assad government and family with the rebels. He was told that Exxon was working for the government drilling for oil in guarded fenced compounds in Syria. During all this mess in Syria, he has lost about 60% of his relatives. And there is nothing he can do about it. |

People complain that we have life-long politicians who have never done anything but politics... And, then when someone who has been successful in other areas of life gets appointed or runs for office...? They complain he/she "...has no experience in government, or any track record at it...". Not saying that is what you're doing here, but you are kinda close to the edge. If you want competency and outsiders (from big government), you are going to have to accept a lack of the so-called "credentials" we are used to. Frankly, this is exactly the kind of person I want in jobs like these. The "professional" politicians like, oh, say... Hillary? Kerry? They haven't exactly covered themselves in glory or displayed much in the way of actual, y'know... Competence. |

And yet you are probably not intelligent enough to understand the difference between natural rights and gay rights. One is negative and one is positive and should not exist. People who are pro gay advocate for special or Positive rights for homosexuals. Thats where my Pro liberty ends i am against anyone who wants special consideration, affirmative action or special protections that makes one class more equal to others. Eta civil rights were created for recently freed slaves ... there are none of those alive now . |
