[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 730534, member: 2189"] This is not exactly on the same point as Jones original context but it does raise IMO where gays for whatever reason hide out of plain sight and at the same time appear what some might call anti-gay. In this case I speak of SCOTUS nominee Kagan and a [URL="http://www.counterpunch.org/"][COLOR=red]piece [/COLOR][/URL]written by Alexander Cockburn for Counterpunch. Kagan will be a very interesting case because 1) under allegations she might be gay, rt. wing christians might have to hold their noses as her record in their muslim crusade is very strong 2) liberal Obama supporters who hold strong civil libertarian ideals might have to look the other way so they can remain a true team player and 3) gays might have to walk away from this case of outing in order to gain political payoff elsewhere. It's odd that here is a nomines who controls such diverging vested interests who on the outside appear so opposed to one another. Neither Kagan nor Sotomayor represent some vast departure from the status quo so it will be fun to watch as the vested interests dance the Washington Two Step as this process continues. Outcome? Kagan sits on the bench come October! As to the hypocrisy of the George Rekers? Christian history as in all religions is loaded with hypocrisy of all types so this lastest revelation comes as no surprise either. We scream today about how jihadists would instill a non-thinking, religionist totalitarianism on conquered peoples and yes in some cases this is true (Wahhabism for example) but we ignore our own christian history and it's own totaliterianism and in many respects if one wanted to see ourselves prior to the enlightenment period, one only need look to certain quarters in the Middle East today?
