I Feel A WHOLE Lot Better...Lady Gaga Chimes In On Don't Ask Don't Tell

[Townsend]

You didn't smack anything down.  If you want to argue or discuss or debate, support your case.  If you can't be bothered to post your argument, then what are you doing here?

Does anyone here know which entire class of persons (hint, they make up the majority of our population) are exempt from registering with selective service?

Hmmm, illegal aliens er as yet unregistered Democrat voters under the age of 26 are required to register, I never knew that.

RM and Conan threadwinner candidates?

The bill did not pass.

I was going to go with "Children of elected officials"

Go with it, it's funny.

What I want to know is: When is this attention whore's 15 minutes up? She really annoys the frackin' crap out of me. I wish she'd get back on her damn disco stick and leave.

This sounds much like the admonition to the Dixie Chicks when they criticized Bush II - "Shut up and sing!"

Lady Gaga is merely exercising her constitutional right to criticize the government, something we all do here everyday.  She just has a bigger stage.

Come on Ed. A few weeks ago when the so-called Ground Zero mosque issue was on fire, those opposing the mosque were called intolerant, bigoted, and islamaphobic. I do not recall much pity for those folks exercising their constitutional rights to speak out in that circumstance.

Swake, do I need to post that video of the troops in Afghanistan singing/dancing to Gaga's "Telephone" so as to remind you of her significance.

The freedom of speech does not have a freedom from criticism piggybacking on it.

Which is why I supported Swake's position on his Gaga "attention whore" point. Question is, why didn't you?

Which is why she should be more careful.

Honestly, our stage is so small, that what we say is soon forgotten.

She has the ability to influence many of her uninformed audience. She probably is just as uninformed as they are and was told what to say by her publicist.

And I thought she was really a dude.

I don't recall that I said those who spoke out against the mosque were "intolerant, bigoted, or islamaphobic" - they are - but they have the same right to speak their minds as you, me, or Lady Gaga.  Mind you, I said the same right, not superior or inferior despite their apparent ignorance of American history.  

Pity?  I should feel pity for someone exercising their rights?  That's a new one.
