Michael Savage the Homophobic
10.18.2006
There are those that loathe homosexuals, and understandably so, because their acceptance will change various aspects of education, health care, and marriage forever. Always, there are those that fear change, and every generation they label a new problem as a threat to the very foundations of civilization. There will always be those that will condemn those who are different as threatening and, of course, hell-bound. Then there are those that have accepted homosexuality, but cannot yet stomach the idea of them getting married, like any common heterosexual. Michael Savage belongs in the former category, and makes that known nightly around the country when he broadcasts his popular conservative radio show. What is most unfortunate is that a man with a Doctorate, a trained scientist, refuses to acknowledge any possible link between biology and homosexuality. There is no discussion of the studied differences between hetero and homosexual brains of the same sex. There is no admission that homosexuality may be genetic. This is actually surprising, since homosexuality could be portrayed by opponents as a disease that inflicts. But that would be contrary to Savage's nature, I suppose. According to him, most brain diseases, i.e. depression, ADD, autism, are simply the result of laziness. Its no surprise then to find that Savage believes that gay men are the way they are because they reject what is expected of them, i.e. get married and have kids. They are gay because they want to have constant, nightly sex with multiple partners, and know that this wouldn't be possible in traditional monogamous marriage.
I'm not making this up. People are gay because they are irresponsible, according to Savage. They don't want to "be a man," in the traditional sense. Savage is a bit softer on gay women, hypothesizing that perhaps they have rejected men because they "are liars." No where in his ramblings is there any semblence of admission that being gay may in fact be more than just a "lifestyle choice." He doesn't even entertain the possibility. He doesn't mention that gays claim that this is their reality, that they were born this way, and they are just accepting who they really are. And what is most shocking is that Savage, a trained scientist, uses such ludicrous reasoning rather than studying the empirical data that has been collected to try and explain homoesexuality.
But to understand why this is, you have to study Savage himself, who believes all of academia, along with most of the scientific community, is dominated by liberals with connections to some invisible "communist party." I can agree that most professors are liberal, and unfortunately allow it to influence their lectures significantly, but the very nature of science is based on collecting data that can be observed with the five senses and forming a logical conclusion. His condemnations of homosexuality through his attempts at rational musing, or through personal experiences with individual homosexuals, is not only unreasonable, but contrary to the very laws of science that Savage was trained to uphold.
For your own consideration, I present to you exhibits 1, 2, and 3. And I found all of those in one archive. I imagine Savage himself would be afraid to even look for evidence against his own beliefs, which is why I've named this site after him.

More on Reid
10.17.2006
It turns out Harry Reid wasn't done yet in terms of scandal. This time, it regards him giving Christmas bonuses to his staff out of campaign donations, which is against federal law. Once again, fire this man!

On Harry Reid and Israel
10.16.2006
Fire this man! After slamming Republicans for months, and following up on scandal after scandal, it turns out Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid has been victimized by a scandal of his own. Though, perhaps it's safe to say that anyone who makes a one million dollar profit off a questionable land deal can hardly be referred to as a 'victim.' Here's hoping the cat is out of the bag for Reid, who is perhaps the weakest Democratic leader in recent memory. His softball demeanor reflects badly on the entire Democratic party, whose members are often characterized as 'spineless.' This man is the epitome of such comparisons. He has the charisma of a groundhog frightened of his shadow, a gazelle among lion-like politicians, who have eaten him alive for two long years. I say: replace this weak leader with someone more capable while we have the chance. It amazes me that such people as Kerry, Leiberman, and Obama serve the Democratic party, and people like Reid and Pelosi get to be the leaders. Regardless of whether the Democrats win the elections, these weak leaders must be replaced, or they will face a 'one and done' type stint in their control of Congress. 
Why does America prefer Israel over the Islamic world? This is why. Accountability, among other things. I offer you the words of Victor Davis Hanson in his essay titled, 'Why Support Israel?' (dated April 23rd, 2002)
"The answer is found in values, not in brainwashing or because of innate affinity for a particular race or creed. Israel is a democracy. Its opponents are not. Much misinformation abounds on this issue. Libya, Syria, and Iraq are dictatorships, far more brutal than even those in Egypt or Pakistan. But even "parliaments" in Iran, Morocco, Jordan, and on the West Bank are not truly and freely democratic. In all of them, candidates are either screened, preselected, or under coercion. Daily television and newspapers are subject to restrictions and censorship; "elected" leaders are not open to public audit or censure."
For all of Israel's problems and mistakes, it still remains our best and most reliable ally in the Middle East. Olmert is being criticized by his own countrymen for his actions during the "war" with Hezbollah. This fact alone illustrates the difference between Israel, the United States, and the forces we are fighting.

What is this site all about anyway?
10.15.2006
First and foremost, I think I owe it to everyone to come out and say it: I'm a liberal. Yes, I admit it. But I like to think that I'm a different kind of liberal. The old term classical comes to mind, but I'll spare you. No, I'm not a conservative in denial. I am, however, very aware of the problems of my party, as well as the problems within the ideology of liberalism itself. This is something I feel is unique, and I think you can agree, though you're probably skeptical of my claimed awareness.
We are a people that become more interested in politics each year, perhaps due to the efforts of those fighting apathy, or the entertainers masquerading as journalists on CNN and FOXNEWS. Despite the growing interest, we remain more divided than ever on cultural and social issues such as abortion, gay rights, and so-called family values, which has prevented us from making strides towards accomplishing important goals abroad and improving our quality of life here at home. We have real problems that must be addressed on the homefront, namely our dependence on foreign oil and illegal immigration. Instead, we are bickering about who should and shouldn't marry, and whether or not the ten commandments should be displayed on public buildings.
I think talk radio is partially to blame for this, with their 'enemy within' philosophy, espousing nightly that those on the other side of the aisle are completely insane. The politicians in Washington do nothing to help matters, being that they are as divided as we are. The nature of politics in Washington are as dirty as they've ever been, but our representatives should be able to wade through the swamp of partisanship from time to time to actually get something done. Unfortunately, all they can do is pander for votes or cause scandal, and thus despite their greater social status and education, they prove no more useful than the common people. This site has been created to expose and ridicule these politicians, as well as the entertainers and radio hosts who provoke and encourage division for their own profit.
