For the last time Michael, the issue I am raising is not about homosexuals, it
is about the proper way for political discussion and debate.  You may want to
raise the issue of the treatment of homosexuals but it is NOT what I am 
complaining about.

Again, nothing you have stated makes Bush to be a Hitler.  You want people to
think that way.  It is slander, dangerous, polarizing, and only makes the
process of creating a strong democratic process impossible.

Then get the ACLU or some other legal organization to act on your behalf and
sue those who you think are discriminating against you.  You have that right
under the Constitution and all laws of the land.  Use the tools the law gives
to fight your struggle.  Name-calling and sleeze are not the proper tools, 
again NO MATTER WHAT SIDE OF THE DEBATE ONE IS ON !!!!!!!

Again, I have never cared about how you live your life and whether or not your
lifestyle is or is not legal.  For you to say "by your logic..." is to imply 
that I agree it is right to discriminate against gays!  I have not and never 
will.  I have said that because someone disagrees with your lifestyle and your
efforts for special laws that specifically protects homosexuals as a group
DOES NOT MAKE THEM A HITLER !!!!  I suggest you write Bush a letter with your 
above logic because it is not mine.

By your above statement, the solution is clear.  Get the Jewish religious 
leaders to approve of same sex marriages and you will be protected under the
freedom of religion clauses !!!

This is again on a circular agruement, it is even worst since I am debating 
your style of debate and not your substance (the pro's and con's of homosexual
lifestyle is very low on my survival list, clearly for you it is number one,
so be it).

If you feel you are discriminated against, sue the government or the person
carrying out the discrimination.  But by my perspective, Bush is still not a
Hitler and the simpliest example of why is because of the level of his 
administration's funding for a cure of AIDS.  Clearly a Hitler would not give 
one single cent to rid the country of a disease that is predominately in a
group that a Hitler wants to remove!

Thus, I come to the end of this for the last time.
