High Horses

Senator Ted Stevens found guilty as he should have been found. Sen. Ted Stevens reaction was" I am innocent. This verdict is the result of the unconscionable manner in which the Justice Department lawyers conducted this trail''. He also says he remains a candidate for re-election.

Of course he remains a candidate, he doesn't want to give up his cushy job with all his perks. His perks is what help him get in trouble. He is just like most of them that get ''Caught'', I'm innocent, even though he was caught with his hands in the cookie jar. I'm so over these big cry babies. He's 84 yrs old and to me that's way to long to be in office supposedly looking out for his people. Retire old man, not just because you're old but because you got busted and you still want to stay in the cushy office while saying I'm innocent even though everything showed he was guilty as sin.

Let these people rot, I'm tired of us just patting them on the head and letting them still sit in office.

The FBI reports hate-crime incidents in 2007 were down about 1% down from 2006, however anti-gay crimes increased by 6%. Blacks, Jews and gays were the most frequent victims of hate crimes. More than a third of all hate-crime incidents were categorized as vandalism or property destruction. Intimidation was the second most common hate-crime, followed by simple assault. I don't think any assault is simple.

I think if the faith groups would quit spilling out their hatred for the gay community and actually try to get along with them alot of these hate-crimes against gays would go away. How can you preach love in one breath and then condemn someone else just for loving someone the same sex in the next breath? To me it doesn't matter that you love someone like you all that matters is that you love someone and that you're loved back. How can you judge someone and then read the bible to us and basically tell us that only god can judge you. What in the heck are you doing if not judging someone because of the sex of their spouse,lover,boyfriend,girlfriend. So get off your high horse and quit doing what you are preaching against.
