A reminder, on the night of Sydney’s gay and lesbian Mardi Gras, of how a recently-removed government once treated its non-breeder community:
While the Taliban ruled Afghanistan, it regularly executed homosexuals. Islamic jurists in Kabul and Kandahar only differed on the method of killing. One group of scholars believed the condemned should be taken to the top of the highest building in the city and hurled to their deaths, while others advocated placing them in a pit next to a wall which was to be toppled on them, so that they are buried alive.
Taliban member David Hicks is sure to appreciate this, then:
To ensure that the injustices perpetrated against David remain in the public arena, the Bring David Hicks Home team are co-ordinating a float in this year’s Mardi Gras parade.

They say orange is the new black.

Wouldn’t it be a good thing if the text of the first story highlighted by Tim here, were printed on a banner and hung from an overpass on the parade route?
Make it so.

We’re keeping him until he rots from the inside out. When his mind is gone, when he gibbers and drools, when he has lost all hope, and when…and only when…he has some disgusting terminal disease (preferable where body parts fall off) – then we may let you have him for his parade.
We could send you Micky Moore if you insist, or Hillary, Rosie, or even Obama. But Hicks is ours.
BWAAAAHAAAAHAAAAA.
On this, also expect Mardi Gras floats to mock Howard, Bush and the Catholic church. Funnily enough, they never seem to extend that ‘brave’ protest to the real oppressors of gays and lesbians.

So, homosexuals’ way of promoting “tolerance” for themselves is to organize annual parades to display what deviants tey are. One feels a certain sympathy for the Taliban on this issue.

The best thing we could do is let Dawood out – and then spread the word that he has actually spent the last 5 years in protective custody ratting out his former mates.
Fingering him as an unusually good source of information that allowed the US to track down and kill a number of Al-Queda operatives should be enough to produce a rain of fatwas. I doubt Dad will want him living at home after the third drive-by shooting.
As to the float, if the poofs have any sense, they will do it “Fred Nile” style – ie, have a big paper-mache head on a platter.

May I conclude from this that they hate themselves so much that they think they deserve the Taliban treatment? Or is that too much psychobabble?

- They all fear the Family First Party!
Nothing more fearful for the leftistas and consorts than those Christians.
So you all know who to vote for? Guaranteed to make lots of them froth at the mouth.
Particularly during their appearances on current affairs TV.
Personally, I have no gripe with those who live with a loved one in a stable relationship, but the political evangelism of gay lobbies, and the truly bad taste (yes, that’s a sin too) mardi gras is against our interests as a cohesive society.
The desire to make a big splash and shout stuff like “look at us, we’re queer and we’re here, in your face” is symptomatic of maladjustment in any social stratum.
They have progressed from protesting too much (oh, yeah, we’re really comfortable with our life choices) to doing everything too much.
##14 yes pogria…the greatest issue with democracy. When it’s humming, the weakest exploit it. When it’s not humming, the weakest suffer. Zimbabwe, RSA, USA (Vietnam), Australia (Vietnam), Iraq (now), Queensland (Rugby). Your thought is pure.

First the pig at the Roger Waters concert, now a float in the Mardi Gras. The word infiltrator comes to mind – naah. These folks are silly enough by themselves.

- My cluemeter exploded when I put both those pages up on screen.
On one side you have a group who want to convert you from the “sin” of homosexuality. On the other you have people who will kill you.

O/T but Mr Moonbat himself cant stomach the 9/11 truthers.
The 9/11 conspiracy theories are a coward’s cult.
Dont worry about him too much though he manages to lump truthers in with global warming deniers though.

Oi get David Hicks home! I CAN NOT WAIT to see him thank these fans!

So….. is David Hicks’ father in this float?
Leather and whips?

At the Love Justice: Bring David Hicks Home shop, there’s a lovely item: Orange disposable coveralls with the slogan “Bring David Hicks Home”.
In the spirit of Dan Lewis and his Interactive Aussie Moonbat Protest Sign Generator I give you the Give Dave Some Love Sign Generator.
Hit the link, type in your own slogan, save it to your hard drive and then upload it to a free image hosting service such as ImageShack. Then post the URL here (make sure you post the Thumbnail Code: Direct URL).
I don’t care what they like to put where, I’m going to make fun of any dumbasstic group that celebrates Fat Tuesday on a freakin’ Saturday. Mardi Gras was almost 2 weeks ago. Thank God I didn’t give up making fun of idiots for Lent.
Do they have Gay Easter on Wednesday in OZ? Someone’s been wearin’ the tiara too tight for too long.
#14 It’s more feeding the hand that bites you. A bit clumsy, but more apt.

Will they be inviting members of the local Muslim community to join in the parade in a show of solidarity?

Hey, it’s the one thing keeping gay marriage from happening in the states: pious, self-righteous news features about how gays are entitled to be treated like normal people, followed by a sound bite from a red-faced, buzz-cut nancy in a priest’s collar and tutu on the steps of San Francisco City Hall, screaming in a voice that makes Harvey Fierstein sound like Beyonce, “I LOVE MY GAY HUSBAND!”

Maybe you feel a certain sympathy, but I don’t. The Taliban are cold blooded murders who want to impose their form of facsism by painting a suitable religion over it, and then presenting themselves as “saviors”. I feel no sympathy for them. They are near the the top of my “Better Dead” list.
Those idiots in Sydney are self-delusional fools who are clueless about what would happen to them if the Taliban were in charge of their part of the world.
Their sexual orientation is not mine, but I really don’t care which well they dip water from; what matters is that they support a form of government that would oppress me (and people like me).
The only reason that they aren’t on my “Better Dead” list is because they are more interesting in playing “Mr. Paper Mache Head” than following in the footsteps of David Hicks. Otherwise, this particular group of fools is beneath my contempt.

The Mardi Gras is passe. Same old drag queens in their feathers, same old targets for their bitchiness. Danny La Rue is in a nursing home, Freddy Mercury is dead and Les Girls at Kings Cross is 40 years past its prime. The 1994 movie Priscilla Queen of the Desert rung down the curtain on drag as a form of entertainment. Good movie but from then on drag was just that – a drag.
Ironic that the Taliban, Saudi wahhabis, Iranian mullahs etc are publicly so hostile to homosexuality, because Islamic culture actually promotes homosexual behavior, by the segregation of women and the framing of human relations primarily in terms of dominance and passivity (see the routine gang rape of captured animist and Christian boys by their Muslim masters.

Members:
I sincerely hope that David Marr is leading that float.
Funny how words such as ‘hate-crime’ and ‘homophobia’ never get a run when speaking of our brothers from the desert.
