Way to go Piers Morgan!!!


Nice Job on slamming twit Todd Akin for bugging out.

You know, Piers, I guess this proves that old saying yet again in regards to Todd Akin splitting on you... If you can't stand the heat... then Don't make stupid statements like Rape is not a good reason for an Abortion.

Shame on Todd Akin the Coward.

Piers Morgan added to my list of Cool people.

And thats my opinion

Family Rights Movement to Equal Rights and Equal Marriage Supporters: Shut Up!!!

Today,

Many Fundamentalist Reconstructionist groups are blaming SPLC as the main reason for the Shooting at FRC HQ.

I wonder if the Fundamentalist realize that if anyone is to blame for the shooting its themselves. The Hatred and homophobic remarks from the Family Rights Movement and Fundamentalist is of a level never seen before.

And to think they want those who support Civil Rights and Equal Marriage to Shut up.

I would like to ask the Family Research Center (Council?) have you ever considered that the reason for the attacks, was your own views against Gay rights and Equal Marriage?

I bet if the Family Rights Movement and Fundamentalist would remove Homophobic and Hate talk, they would suddenly find that groups like the SPLC would not have to respond to them.

And thats my views and opinions on this.

My Opinion on why the Olympic Games should not return to the United States until serious reforms occur.


Why the Olympic Games should not return to the United States of America until needed reform to the Laws and culture of the United States occurs.

After watching the dismal NBC Coverage of the 2012 London Olympic Games, I have decided to oppose ANY efforts to bring the games to the United States, unless the International Olympic Committee ends its contract with the National Broadcasting Company-Comcast and the United States Congress repeals the American Patriot Acts and other Police State Acts.
IOC here are some very good reasons NOT to bring the games to the United States of America.

1. Commercialism. If you will recall the 1996 Corporate Olympics in Atlanta, it was commercialism upon commercialism. The Olympics are about the Athletes. It is NOT about the Corporate Sponsors. Since the United States Government will NOT pay for anything except security, it is extremely clear that any City in the United States of America will turn the games over to Corporate sponsors (due to cost) who will make sure their label and brand name is everywhere. It would be nice if the IOC would Adapt a rule that says NO corporate or brand name labels to be displayed anywhere on the grounds of the Olympic Games for the duration of the games.

2. The United States of America is a Police State. This goes along with my belief that the Olympic games should not be seen as assisting rogue nations and Police States. 

What will happen if the Games go to some American City is thus: Extremely long lines at each venue as the fans of the games wait in very long lines to be searched and padded down by TSA agents. Their treatment of the Citizens will be horrible (You can find stories from Disabled Citizens who have been badly mistreated by the TSA even to the point that the TSA destroyed valuable and needed medical equipment) . Plus what happens if the TSA decides an Athlete is on some dang watch list? Maybe the Athlete has offended the Republican President eh? Worse, many athletes from other nations may not be allowed to land simply because the TSA chooses to block them for no reason. Is this what the International Olympic Committee wants? Can you imagine the negative press when a famous runner or swimmer is barred from entering the USA to compete in the Olympics ?

3.  What if the city the Games go to has a open gun carry law meaning every citizen is allowed to bring guns into the games. This is surely a very dangerous situation. Before the Olympic Games could return, in my opinion, needed Gun Regulations, restrictions and bans need to be enacted even if this means repealing the second amendment to do so.

4. What if the National Broadcasting Company demands the Opening Ceremony be held in Prime Time with as many commercials as they want? What if NBC demands control over the games so they can schedule in commercial breaks? What if they decide to hold certain events in Prime Time and ignore the rest? Corporations should NOT be allowed to dictate how the Olympics are organized and conducted.

There are clearly too many problems with bringing the Olympic Games to the United States again. I believe that Atlanta demonstrated many such problems. The Previous IOC president only said the Atlanta games were good not exceptional. That is a very awful tag to receive. If you try to tell the cities to do it in a way that favors the athletes the Cities will not agree because the cash strapped Cities are looking for a cash cow in order to get as much money as possible for the city itself not the athletes. Many cities believe in Profit over People at ALL and Any cost.

There are far more cities outside the United States of America that you can go to, there is no need to bring the Olympics back to the United States of America until major reforms in the Police State, Corporate Greed and Homeland Defense and Serious Gun Regulations and controls are undertaken and Privacy is restored.

This is my Opinion only.
