It's that time again

You know what I have not done in a while? Remind myself why I am not a Republican. This week, two of the most popular, and actually two of my favorite, Republicans showed their true colors. While the Democrat party has shifted to be more centrist, and left-leaning TV stations like CNN have become centrist, the Republican Party and Fox News has answered by moving further and further to the right. On Monday in New Jersey, former Arkansas governor and presidential candidate Mike Huckabee was asked his thoughts on gay marriage. Instead of just saying he disagrees with the idea of gay marriage, he felt the need to say, "Well there are a lot of people who use drugs so let's accommodate those who want to use drugs. There are some people who believe in incest, so should we accommodate them? There are people who believe in polygamy? Should we accommodate them?" After a few minutes of research, I found out that this view is right in line with Huckabee's views on homosexuality. Earlier when asked about the idea of gay adoption, he said, "Children are not puppies." I don't even know what he is implying. Or in an interview several years ago about allowing gays in the military, he said, "We should not legitimize immorality. I feel homosexuality is an aberrant, unnatural, and sinful lifestyle". I can continue with other examples but I think you get it. Huckabee hates gay people. I also found out he feels we should round up all the people suffering from AIDS, or "carriers of the plague" as he liked to call the infected, and make them live in one area so after a generation, we will have killed off the disease.

Then we have this little gem from Senator McCain. While being interviewed about Iran, he said that diplomatic relations have failed with Iran. He then said, "We have a loaded gun pointed at Iran but we fail to pull the trigger." What is he saying? We should go to war with Iran? We should bomb them? Aren't we a little busy with Afghanistan, and Iran? What about the Taliban moving to Pakistan? Isn't that more of a concern? I am not entirely sure what McCain means, but I sure as heck hope he is not implying another war.

1. I went to my first ever Bulls game Tuesday night. Not only was it an awesome game, not only was Marissa Miller in attendance, not only did Derrick Rose have one of the sickest dunks I have ever seen, but Scottie Pippen was recently inducted into the basketball hall of fame and they did a really sweet honor for him at halftime.
