3. I did, and I was trying to search him. What's his name? Peter Strib?
Outrageous statements. Asked if he thought gay people were born that way, he said he thought they were born with same-sex attraction, but that they could control their behavior. Asked if gay behavior should be illegal, he said YES. Fucking asshat pig. What was his name?

15. This guy seems preoccupied with Harvey Milk's sex life
Edited on Tue Feb-02-10 07:53 PM by spiritual_gunfighter
A presidential medal based on a sex life
Posted: August 12, 2009

By Peter Sprigg
© 2010

When President Obama today awards a posthumous Presidential Medal of Freedom to Harvey Milk, it may mark the first time in history that the nation's highest civilian award has been granted primarily on the basis of someone's sex life.

As the White House announcement explained, "Harvey Milk became the first openly gay elected official from a major city in the United States when he was elected to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors in 1977." Yet Milk served in that office for less than a year, so that hardly qualifies him for the Medal of Freedom. Milk was also assassinated in November of 1978. But that cannot qualify him for this award, either – San Francisco Mayor George Moscone was killed by the same assassin the same day, but he will receive no Medal of Freedom. At least lesbian Billie Jean King, who will also be honored by Obama, was a genuine tennis star.

But Milk is famous only for winning one election, being murdered – and having sex with men. In his "gay rights" stump speech, Milk once said, "Like every other group, we must be judged by our leaders and by those who are themselves gay." What can we conclude about the homosexual movement in America based on the life of Harvey Milk? I recently decided to find out by reading "gay journalist" Randy Shilts' 1982 biography of Milk, "The Mayor of Castro Street."

Don't miss David Kupelian's culture-war classic, "The Marketing of Evil: How Radicals, Elitists, and Pseudo-Experts Sell Us Corruption Disguised as Freedom"

According to Shilts, Milk's "first sexual experiences were in the standing room section of the Metropolitan Opera , a gathering place for homosexual men. ... Random groping led to brief trysts after the performances." Milk, "by his own account, was leading an active homosexual life by the age of 14."

He continued to engage in homosexual conduct while serving in the U. S. Navy. Shilts reports that Milk, who had his own apartment off base, would pick up hitchhiking sailors by offering them a bed to sleep in. "The guests often would not know that Milk's apartment had only one bed until they walked in the door."

Milk later exploited his time in the Navy during his political career – by lying about it, claiming falsely that he had received a dishonorable discharge for his homosexuality. Milk "knew the story would make good copy," according to Shilts. "Maybe people will read it, feel sorry for me and then vote for me," Milk told one campaign manager.

The information Shilts provides about Milk's sexual partners is revealing about the nature of male homosexual life in America. Milk's first long-term lover, Joe, had his "introduction to gay life" when he performed sex acts upon men in a movie theatre for money – at age 9. Milk's next lover, Craig, had been arrested after having sex with a 40-year-old man – when Craig was 14. He met Milk when he was 17 – "t would be to such boyish-looking men in their late teens and early 20s that Milk would be attracted for the rest of his life," Shilts reports. Another lover, Jack, moved in with Milk when he was 16 and Milk was 33. Jack attempted suicide several times, and once when he physically attacked Milk, "Harvey literally tied him up and threw him in a closet."

4. He went on to say that homosexual activity should be illegal, against the law, for civilians.
Chris stayed on him until he admitted, not only that he would end DADT, but also outlaw homosexual behavior.

He said having homosexual thoughts is one thing, acting out on them is another.

Sick fuck.

23. Drew University (N.J.), You might as well get an on-line degree.
A sewer. A very close friend's daughter was attacked while attending there a couple of years ago. And the University KNEW there had been previous attacks and didn't warn the student body for fear of adverse publicity. It's still going on.

Drew itself spends more time on prohibited substances than sexual assault in it's Campus Crime Statistics Report

11. Can't be as bad as the rabbi who think repealing DADT will cause earthquakes
Edited on Tue Feb-02-10 07:36 PM by muriel_volestrangler
See http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=389&topic_id=7625687

He's spokesman for the Rabbinical Association of America, which seems to have hundreds of rabbis as members, and has been in existence since 1942. So I fear it would call itself 'mainstream'. :scared: He blames 9/11 on homosexuality too.

16. PETER SPRIGG
"GAY ACTIONS SHOULD BE MADE ILLEGAL"

So, now we have a man on Hardball representing Family Research Council telling me (an active duty military member - 20yrs) that a homosexual doesn't deserve to serve in the military. Hmmm...when did Peter Sprigg serve in the military? Does anyone know? Also, does the bible indicate that Peter Sprigg is THE JUDGE of people? I'm sorry, I don't recall reading about him in the New Testament or the Old either.

I am currently responding to a blog on the Family Research Council that indicates that I don't drink. Yup, they are the GOD of homosexuality and of drinking. According to the blog I am responding to, I kid you not, the title is: God + Marriage = Less Alcohol Consumption. Now isn't that a kick in my Jack & Coke? After all, it is true...I've been married over 20 years, go to church, and guess what? I didn't have a beer tonight. Must be that equation at work.

Don't be afraid to speak up in other locations. Hit blogs, hit websites, do research on this stuff. The more people get informed, the more credible those peoples comments become. Shoot, I plan to look for Mr Peter Sprigg's e-mail address and send him a personal message. I don't give a hill of beans if you are gay. I'd rather be at war with a homosexual sharp shooter than a straight lazy bum. Believe me, I've encountered my later during my years of service and not proud to admit it. I believe people like Peter Sprigg have watched too much "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" or maybe he became upset the day that Boy George stopped wearing the make-up. Whatever his issue is, he should keep it to himself. Have you ever heard of "some things are better left unsaid"? Yeah, it was a Hall & Oates song...but this man, Peter Sprigg, has made an unfortunate calculation by stating to Chris Matthews and those who watched (soon to be in the paper too), "Gay actions should be made illegal". I believe he should move down to Uganda where they actually tried to push "execution to homosexual" policy...he may be more happy there. Amazing how individuals who align themselves with the conservative movement try to claim they are so religious yet you hear them speak and their words don't match the rhetoric. Hate, Hate, Hate, Hate, Hate, and oh yeah, cut taxes for the rich. Sounds like an easy agenda to follow...heck even Sarah Palin can understand that agenda...or can she?

Common sense is lacking in our nation. A black man becomes President and I thought that was a step in the right direction. However, I feel as though we have lost the last 20-30 years of progression when I see all the hate out there and the gun totting fools who show up in the vicinity of our President. Why do they feel threatened? Maybe it's the guilt of their past relatives who treated blacks so poorly. Maybe I am completely wrong and just dumb. But, we have taken a step in the wrong direction in this nation. There is too much hate and I am sick of it. So what, a black man is our President. Big freaking deal. The question is, can he fix the cancer that is within politics? I don't believe he can, but I have to give President Obama credit for getting in front of the camera and saying, "I made a mistake". Think of the thousands of fellow military persons who were killed in Iraq. For what? For WMD's? No. For the "crusade" of President Bush and Dick Cheney (who has no credibility). Does that suture the wounds of those wives, husbands, daughters, sons, left behind? No. Even if the war was for a credible reason...you cannot heal those wounds. I pray that President Obama is able to follow through on his thoughts and suggestions. I won't call them promises, because the man is a man...not GOD. Keeping all the suggestions he had during his run for President is impossible. I'll call it...his wants. He wants to do the right thing I believe. However, under our governing laws which control the amount of strength the President can have, we truly are going to go the way of Congress and those individuals. This is a good thing actually. Think back before you disagree. If you'd like President Obama to have the strength to overrule all, we'd have a Dictatorship. We came too close to that under the previous administration. They clearly erased the line that would be crossed when they subjected our nation to the world to be scrutinized for torture. If anyone denies on public TV again that water boarding isn't torture, they should be made to experience it live on a world-wide broadcast. Maybe we can submit a law that states you cannot create false allegations on broadcast networks. Wait, that would eliminate Fox News...where would Keith and Rachel get all those clips from?

I'm tired and I must go complete my message to the Family Research Council and express my strong feelings against Peter Sprigg. Remember those names; Family Research Council & Peter Sprigg. Why? Because they believe Gays should be put in prison; something the US Supreme Court didn't say on their ruling on 26 June 2003 (Supreme Court Issues Watershed Decision on Gay Rights)

20. PETER SPRIGG - HATER
I just posted my comment on the blog of Family Research Council. Interesting, though, that my comment MUST meet approval before it is posted.

THE TOPIC: God + Marriage = Less Alcohol Consumption
by Michael Leaser
February 2, 2010

In the latest Mapping America, adults in always-intact marriages who attend religious services at least weekly are the least likely to report that they sometimes drink too much alcohol.

MY COMMENT BACK TO FRC BLOG

Comments
By: JAMES BROWN | February 2, 2010 at 9:08 pm

The information is not accurate. Explain to me how many people who “Go To Church” & “Always-Intact Marriages” do not admit to drinking? You believe that zero people you may have asked didn’t lie? Are you naive? Explain 60+ years of marriage + church every Wednesday, Sunday, and commitments to church that led to home gatherings didn’t keep my Grandfather from being an alcoholic. Your way of “connecting” these things are misleading. I drink but I go to church and have 20 years of marriage (extremely happy). So, according to your information if I am doing the married thing and the church thing…I should not be doing the drinking thing. Oh, and neither should some co-workers of mine who have been married longer than me.

So, let me see…I think I will put out some blog indicating that Faith + Catholics = Child Molester. What is wrong with that? According to the past 20 years, several Catholic priests have been found to have touched young boys. How does it feel to have these actual FACTS used to disgrace faith and catholics? Not good, huh?

Whatever happened to God being THE JUDGE? How is it that your council can push your beliefs as the correct way of living life? Doesn’t God appreciate every living soul that he put down on this earth? If so, doesn’t he grant them forgiveness as long as, according to scripture, they repent? Doesn’t the bible state that only HE may judge? Then Mr Peter Sprigg must not believe in the bible! What?! Tonight, he decided that he was THE JUDGE. He told Mr Chris Matthews on MSNBC that Homosexuals should be put in prison. Don’t attempt to disassociate yourself with Mr Peter Sprigg and his comments. He went on Hardball representing the Family Research Council. In doing so, he proceeded to lay judgement on others. Now, who was it that claims to be THE JUDGE per scripture? I don’t recall Peter Sprigg being in the bible. I am an active duty member of the military. I have zero problem with anyone who may live their life differently than I. It is not my job to be concerned with it. As a military member who has been in for over 20 years, I have not heard of many of my co-workers or fellow military personnel indicate they would up and leave the service because someone is gay. Yes, during boot camp you do shower together. However, if you believe for one second that a gay person (male or female) is “having sexual thoughts” about someone else in the showers you are out of your mind. Has Peter Sprigg ever served in the military? If not, he should leave the military alone and let the Generals determine what is best for us.

Stop hating people who are different. Hate is the reason why things have gotten as bad as they have. Let man live their lives then answer to the Lord and Saviour when their time has come to pass. NO MAN HAS THE AUTHORITY TO JUDGE ANOTHER MAN.

Thank you for your comment! It has been added to the moderation queue and will be published here if approved by the webmaster.
