I knew there had to be a sane explanation for Barney Frank's stupidity

I'm secure enough in my own sexuality to not be threatened by homosexuality.

Good post. Pretty much exactly what I meant.

Maybe it's just me but when I hear or read of someone being gay (including Mr. Frank), this is the very first thing that pops in my head. I am sure there is some psychoanalytical explanation for this, right?

Who can say? Would it for instance, frighten you to get on this particular psychiatrist's couch?

Ned Beatty REALLY must have wanted to be in movies to do that scene.

Did he have much of a career after that movie or did it bottom out?

edit: after looking it up, it looks like he has had a career of supporting roles...

Probably because the original post by the author mentioned a gay prostitution ring run by Franks (the squealer) partner. There was more to the original post than drugs.

But mostly because (IMO) Franks is a POS, pig, vermin, dung, etc.

I've heard the "You must be a closet queer" many times. It always comes up if anyone opposes anything gay. LOL Then the "I'm so secure in my sexualness that I'll wear pink shirts". Then you hear about all the gay friends that people have.

I actually think those are the insecure people, but that's only my opinion.

Carry on and don't mind me. I'm in the closet hiding fromn the gays, because well,,,

You know,,,, LOL

Reminds me of the story of the story of the guy that lived next to two lesbians who bought him a Rolex for his birthday.

Surprised, he reminded them when they asked what he wanted for his birthday, he had replied "to watch"

How about mandatory drug testing for ALL members of Congress?

How 'bout we just legalize the weed for all purposes and free up probably a few billion dollars in budgets for police enforcing the law and the court system having trials and the penal system jailing people for something as innocuous as marijuana. I know you righties will say its a gateway drug to the heavier stuff, but that's another conversation.

I am sure Rep. Frank is all for that.

That's all well and good, but as it stands, AT THIS TIME, it is illegal. They test students, transportation workers, students, ... Why not test the Congress as well?

...Military, Hospital workers, construction workers, utility workers, etc...


I agree, no double standards.

Here's Barney and his boyfriend...

If a conservative is homosexual, he quietly leads his life.
If a liberal is homosexual, he demands legislated respect.
