HomoQuotable – Andrew Sullivan

“A president Obama should offer the first SCOTUS vacancy to Senator Clinton. It’s perfect for her: she gets to lord it over others, she’s a sharp lawyer, it appeals to her vanity, she doesn’t have to get elected, and as a sitting senator, she’d be a shoo-in. The base would love it.” – Andrew Sullivan, responding to a column by …

HomoQuotable – Andrew Sullivan

Andrew Sullivan, October 30th: “Allowing this guy [Donnie McClurkin] to preach strikes me as a step far too far. [snip] I don’t blame any gay American for jumping the Obama ship over it.” Andrew Sullivan, February 6th: “They [California gays] go for Clinton by 2 to 1 in the exit polls. Will they never learn?” Well, which is it, Andrew? …

Ron Paul Is Finished

The New Republic today dug up more of Ron Paul’s loathsome old newsletters. They are almost unimaginably offensive and no one is immune as the newsletters attack gays, blacks and Jews with equal relish. From the lengthy New Republic post: The newsletters were particularly obsessed with AIDS, “a politically protected disease thanks to payola and the influence of the homosexual …

Sullivan Endorses Ron Paul

Andrew Sullivan has endorsed Ron Paul for the Republican nomination. The great forgotten principles of the current Republican party are freedom and toleration. Paul’s federalism, his deep suspicion of Washington power, his resistance to government spending, debt and inflation, his ability to grasp that not all human problems are soluble, least of all by government: these are principles that made …

HomoQuotable – Andrew Sullivan

“McClurkin describes sexual orientation as something that God wants to save me and other gay people from. If one were being generous, one would say this isn’t meant as an attack; but it is certainly experienced as an attack. McClurkin, in short, should never have been allowed to speak at this event, because his words are inherently divisive, his record …

HomoQuotable – Andrew Sullivan

“San Francisco’s Folsom Street Fair commits a provocation. Utterly unnecessary, I’d say, and counter-productive to ensuring that events like Folsom can continue to thrive. And not even ballsy. Next year, guys: do a similar parody on a sacred Muslim scene, if you have the balls. Easy, cheap blasphemy impresses no one.” – Andrew Sullivan. I’m trying to think of a …

Over 12 million Americans write blogs. 1.7 million American adults list making money as one of the reasons they blog. 89% of companies surveyed say they think blogs will be more important in the next …

“Strange Male Ass”

You’ll have to embiggen it to be able to read the text of this cartoon I found on Free Republic, where I often lurk on their “Homosexual Agenda” threads. They do almost as good a job of ferreting out news of gay interest as some mainstream gay media sites. Although the cartoon is intended to be mean-spirited, the author inadvertently …

HomoQuotable – Andrew Sullivan

“I have no jitters about our actual relationship. For me, this is for life. I have no reservations. But standing up in front of my family and my spouse’s and saying the vows out loud has me in a state of butterflies. I can go on TV and barely break a sweat, but I’m terrified of performing in front of …

Murder, He Blogged

JMG: Depends on your definition. I have a blog. AT: A what? A blog? Wait, is that on the internet? JMG: What, …

“When you see her in such a context, you realize that she truly represents the heart and soul of contemporary conservative activism, especially among the young. The standing ovation for Romney was nothing like the eruption of enthusiasm that greeted her. . . . She is the new Republicanism. The sooner people recognize this, the better. – Andrew Sullivan, speaking …
