The Tintin dig is a bit off man. There are lots of us that took pleasure in read Tintin in French, as one of the pleasant byproducts of French class in school. Yes, its rather odd and quirky, but also at times funny and clever. I am not saying the movie is going to be any good, but to dismiss Tintin merely because its Belgian and in French originally is a bit uncalled for.

Coldplay makes bloody awful music anyway. I am not surprised the cretins in that band support terrorists. They have been terrorizing anyone with a keen musical ear since their first release.

"The Republican proposal to reform Medicare was a key issue in the campaign, so Democrats are interpreting this as a generic Republican, and Tea Party, repudiation."

Balderdash. The reason the Republican lost was two fold. One she was weak and secondly because there was the farce of a faux tea party candidate. The guy was allowed run under the tea party banner even though he had run as a Democrat three times before for the same seat. He was a spoiler. The tea party movement in NY busted a gut to let people he was a faux, but the media was unwilling to help them get the message out.

The title is a misnomer and inaccurate. As you quite rightly, in the piece, point out the difference between right & left libertarians on the issue. I am a libertarian-conservative (ie right libertarian) who supports Israel and sees the danger is Islamist terror. I think we intervene too much for sure, but to think if we withdraw to our borders and stick our head in the sand it will convince Islamists not to attack is naive & dangerous. Islamists have been attacking anyone not like them since their ilk was spawned in the deserts of Arabia. The only thing that will stop them is if everyone but themselves is eliminated (or enslaved).

Likorial, that comment was not directed at you, I apologize for making it look as if I were saying you were "gay-bashing". GOProud is not trying to turn anyone into anything. They are merely trying to represent gay people who are conservative.

It was directed at those who think the tea party movement should reject gays because they are not conservative and because they disapprove of their lifestyle choice.

Um, that letter was co-written by me (Andrew Ian Dodge) and I am Maine Coordinator of the TPP. It was not from the "tea party" it was from tea party activists who chose to sign it. It was in fact a joint effort from Chris & me. Criticize it all you want, as is your right, but please get your facts right.

Oh yes and the last time I checked none of the three core values of the tea party movement is "bashing gays for their lifestyle".

There is another simple reason why most creative types are left. They will never admit it but its down to money. Its hard to make it in any of the creative fields if you are of the right. Many creative types have no political ideas as at ll but play along with the left because the left supports its own. The right is rubbish at helping those that brave the backlash and "out" themselves as being not-left.

If the right does a better job at supporting their own, more creative types will be willing to show their "true" feelings. Its really that simple.
