ROMNEY IS NOT HOMOPHOBIC


Mitt Romney has been forced to apologize today for forcibly shaving the head of a high school classmate who was regularly taunted for being gay.

Even if the old geezer did not have a public diary, the news item in the Daily Mail would have deserved an entry.  MOI is sort of chap who likes to remember things.

What a world we live in.  It has been some 40 plus years since Mr. Romney was in high school.  No doubt he, like so many high school students, did things that were not what one would want to remember as high points. 

MOI is from the same era as Mr. Romney.  It is easy to view actions of that time, in the light of today, and not realize that the 60's were a totally different time.  Truth be told, if any person in school acted 'different' they were suspect.  Remember, this was before 'sexual revolution'.  Tight trousers were looked on as 'gay', no doubt coloured hair was thought to be 'gay'.  MOI seems to recall that most of classmates tried very hard to be very 'butch' acting.  That is just the way it was.

Right, so a mean thing happened.  Do you not think that the old geezer suffered means acts at the hands of classmates due to his 'soft' nature? 

Mr. Romney has apologized for what happened.  That is good enough for this old geezer.  MOI truly believes that there was no need.  No doubt, some youths in that time period did far worse than Mr. Romney did.  What happened so very long ago is not what Mr. Romney is today.  Mr. Romney has his beliefs, just like so many other heterosexual men.  I accept that.  I do not think Mr. Romney is homophobic, nor that he spends any time thinking how to make like harder for fellow citizens who might be different than himself.

It would be horrid, if this episode from his youth took on a greater meaning than it has.  MOI is of opinion that it is what Mr. Romney is today that matters.




If we can forgive Mr. Obama his use of drugs at university, then we should not make more out of Mr. Romney's high school youthful bad prank.

MOI is a homosexual who lived through the 60's.  It was a different world than the world of today.  Being homosexual was not easy for MOI and there were no clear rules of behaviour for young heterosexual males to follow.  As the old geezer recalls, every 'soft' acting male was called a Nancy boy.  That is just the way it was.

What seems so very wrong in 2012, was not so clearly defined in 1960's.  We need to remember that, and move on...

Mr. Romney has been consistent in his stated views on homosexual lifestyle.  Unlike Mr. Obama, who has changed his at least three times in past ten years.  This is one homosexual who is not troubled by what Mr. Romney did over 40 years ago.

REAL APPETITE KILLER



The day of her appointment with the seamstress, Ms Eman and her sister Cassie made a pit stop for snacks and arrived at Ms Goff's with a spread of three guacamole bacon cheeseburgers, two orders of chili cheese fries, nine tacos, a chocolate shake and a large Coke.

The old geezer is in shock.   30,000 calories a day.  The morbidly obese bride-to-be, wants to go from 800 pounds to 1,600 pounds.  AND, the boy friend helps her eat massive amounts of groceries by preparing meals for.  Her sister helps her go to take-away shoppes and get massive amounts of food.  They say that they LOVE her.  Bloody hell, save MOI from that kind of love.

Right, too much information about massive eaters.  If the old geezer needed any help to stay off groceries, the stories in newspapers and other news outlets are a constant reminder how obsessed the world is with FAT.  Not sure why the Daily Mail ran this story.  Positively horrid it is.  Made the old geezer more aware of every bite he takes.  YUCK,  want to empty out the ice box and cupboards.

Doubt MOI will have much of appetite today...

'ASK NOT WHAT YOUR COUNTRY CAN DO FOR YOU, BUT WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR YOUR COUNTRY'


In times past, every time the old geezer talks about 'same sex' marriage, the post box fills with mean comments from the 'lavender elite'.  Having said that, it seems that there is still much to be said on the subject.

The views on this subject are me own, not that of a group or special interest. 

MOI has a problem with self serving folks, be they President of United States or Card Carrying Members of the Lavender Elite.

One would think that in light of so many problems facing America today, the subject of same sex marriage would not be getting the amount of ink that is now getting.  Regardless of the failure of NC to grant the right to marry to homosexuals, we need to stay focused on the more important issues of the day.  Like jobs, housing, poverty, health care.

The president can not change the law of the land.  His opinion, in my opinion, was solely based on pandering to homosexuals, for cash to fund re-election, and to suck up to young voters, showing them how 'hip' he is, how tuned in to the times he be.  Total rubbish.

How sad that homosexuals keep pushing this agenda.  The small minority of loud homosexuals who want the whole world to believe that every homosexual in America craves this right.

Truth be told, this small group of loud homosexuals, proves the point that they are 'one-issue' creatures.  ME, ME, ME.  Forget about the horrid issues facing the country this election year, just give ME what I want and will be happy.  As if homosexuals are going to do marriage any better than heterosexuals.

Same sex marriage is not the burning bush for this old geezer, nor I expect for many other homosexuals.  Getting this country moving again, in the right direction, is.

Really, ask yourself this, do you care who the old geezer loves?  Do you worry if an invite to wedding is in the post???

JFK must be rolling over in grave...

TALK ABOUT A 'LEG UP'


19-year-old Lewis Jolly may have more misgivings than most about his choice of design for a tattoo.

For the chef has the face of Tory London mayor Boris Johnson inked on to his thigh - and, what's more, he was sober when he had it done.

Saw this story in Daily Mail and had a right good laugh.  Not the sort to have ink placed on bod, but made MOI stop and think of some places on bod he might want to place a face of politician disliked .  And it would not be me leg...
