Firemen demoted and fined for shining torch on gay sex foursome in the bushes

Four firefighters were reprimanded and heavily fined after disturbing an illegal outdoor gay sex romp - because the men accused them of being homophobic.

The crew were travelling past a notorious common popular with gay men and "doggers" when they shone their torches from the engine into bushes.

It is claimed they interrupted four men involved in a gay sex act.

One man later contacted AIDS charity the Terrence Higgins Trust, who advised him to launch a formal complaint.

The firefighters were suspended on full pay during a three month investigation. Two were fined up to £1,000, one was demoted in rank and the other given a written warning.

They have all been ordered to attend an equality course and the fines will be donated to the a nominated gay-rights charity.

ACLU's Lawsuit Against The Ten Commandments in Public Schools is Dismissed

Mathew Staver, Founder of Liberty Counsel and Dean of Liberty University School of Law, commented: "The ACLU's Ten Commandments clearinghouse agenda has hit rough waters. Since 2005, the ACLU has lost one Ten Commandments case after another. It is logical and consistent with American history that a universal symbol of the rule of law is very much at home in a court of law."

Liberty University is a Christian liberal arts university in Lynchburg, Virginia. It was founded as Lynchburg Baptist College in 1971 by Jerry Falwell, who was also the Senior Pastor of Thomas Road Baptist Church. The school was previously known as Lynchburg Baptist College and Liberty Baptist College before settling on its current name in 1985.

...

The university has a code of student conduct, documented in "The Liberty Way", including possible reprimands (and with the accumulation of reprimands, fines) for attending dances, violating curfew, viewing R-rated movies (on or off campus), drinking (or even associating with those drinking alcohol), smoking, viewing sexually explicit material, entering the bedroom of a member of the opposite sex (on or off campus), and participating in unauthorized petitions.

Some "unbiased" news you've got there, Scooter.

Is any part of the article untrue Orang? Or are you simply bent out of shape due to who the messenger of bad news for your heroes the ACLU is?

And ya... I did a great job of hiding that "bias" in plain sight by linking to the story and quoting his affiliations in my post.

I didn't attempt to out, but point out the fact that your "news" is just tripe written by an organization for their own benefit and distributed by some no-name "news feed". How utterly shocking that Liberty Counsel would be in opposition to the ACLU and in support of misleading people with the false idea that the United States is somehow "based" on the nebulous notion of "JudeoChristian law".

Oh... so as I suspected there are no factual errors in the story. And that information you call "misleading"... ya.. the court upheld their position... not yours. The fact is you are simply bent that those opposed to the ACLU's anti America agenda are delivering news of a ACLU defeat.

I'd have linked a MSM source.. but none seem to be reporting it.. including your favorite news source CNN... :

AP story from "05" was the only hit. Fox is not covering it yet either.

Despite all your whining about "no name"... "misleading"... "tripe" and "bias".. the story is accurate as posted and your response is simply sour grapes over the decision. Care for some cheese with your whine?

Hey, Hedge Fund Guys! [David Freddoso]

Remember all that money you gave Chuck Schumer when he said earlier this year that he would not raise your taxes?

The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, which Schumer heads, received $779,100 from employees of private-equity firms and hedge funds in June, six times their combined total in June 2005, federal filings show. That far exceeds the industry's contributions of about $60,000 to the Republican Senate committee in the same period.

Well, looks like the joke's on you!
Guess you didn't cough up enough when you were asked — I mean, told.





IS HILLARY'S BABY-BOND IDEA ANTI-GAY? "I really did not think about Hillary Clinton’s $5000 Baby Bond proposal until seeing this poll by Daily Kos. . . . But if the Baby Bond is only available to families of newborns–what does that mean to gays and lesbians?"

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democratic leaders in the U.S. Congress called on Wednesday for the appointment of a "mortgage czar" to help stem a spike in foreclosures and $200 million of fresh funding to help troubled borrowers save their homes.
Foreclosure filings have ballooned in recent months as borrowers with shaky credit have been unable to afford escalating loan payments.
About 1.7 million home loans will go into foreclosure this year and next, according to estimates by Moody's Economy.com. U.S. lawmakers have called this a national catastrophe in the making.
"This crisis is the equivalent of a slow-motion, 50-state Katrina, taking people's homes one-by-one, devastating their lives and destroying their communities," Christopher Dodd, Chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, said at a press conference.
Sen. Dodd along with fellow Democratic Sen. Harry Reid, the Senate Majority Leader, and Nancy Pelosi, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, called for the current limit on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac investments to be lifted so the mortgage finance companies can buy more troubled home loans.
The two government-sponsored enterprises are under orders from their federal regulator, the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight, to freeze investment holdings near their current level of a combined $1.4 trillion.
The regulator has said those caps, imposed over a year ago, could be lifted in February, but lawmakers said they should be lifted now in the face of a crisis.
"We're standing here today saying 'Mr. President, February is hundreds of thousands of foreclosures away,'" said Sen. Charles Schumer. "The time to act with sensible policies is today, not months from now."
In May, the New York Democrat first called for fresh grants to non-profit groups that counsel on foreclosure prevention and Democratic leaders on Wednesday endorsed giving $200 million in such a program. Continued...

the way the Senate Resolution could have been written


The Lost Resolution
In a sane world, the resolution that would be inspired by Rush’s comments.

By Jackson Bauer

MEMORANDUM

To: Clerk of the Senate
From: Mortimer J. Snerd, Office of the Majority Leader
Re: Resolution Condemning Unpatriotic Statements Regarding Our Troops

Please be advised that the following resolution submitted to you last night should not be placed in the Congressional Record. Senator Reid had directed staff to draft a resolution condemning unpatriotic comments made about the troops for senators to mull. Unfortunately, in the rush to prepare a letter to Clear Channel Communications, Inc. regarding the comments made last week by radio commentator Rush Limbaugh concerning phony soldiers, staff mistakenly understood Senator Reid to mean we should prepare a resolution condemning unpatriotic comments about the troops that senators had made.

Accordingly, please disregard the following resolution in its entirety. By the way, today is my last day here at the Senate. If I don’t see you before I leave, it’s been a pleasure working with you.

RESOLUTION

Condemning Unpatriotic Remarks Made By Senators Concerning Our Troops

WHEREAS on May 5, 2004, Senator Kennedy of Massachusetts accused our troops of torturing prisoners in the same manner as Saddam Hussein, stating “Shamefully, we now learn that Saddam’s torture chambers reopened under new management,” and

WHEREAS on June 14, 2005, Senator Durbin of Illinois compared our troops to Nazis and genocidal maniacs, stating “If I didn’t tell you that it was an FBI agent describing what Americans had done to prisoners in their control, you would most certainly believe this must have been done by Nazis, Soviets in their Gulags, or some mad regime, Pol Pot, or others that had no concern for human beings. Sadly that is not the case. This was the action of Americans in their treatment of their prisoners,” and

WHEREAS on December 4, 2005, Senator Kerry of Massachusetts alleged that our troops were terrorizing Iraqi civilians, stating “There is no reason, Bob, that young American soldiers need to be going into the homes of Iraqis in the dead of night terrorizing kids and children, women…,” and

WHEREAS In October, 2006, Senator Kerry of Massachusetts suggested that our troops were lazy and stupid, stating “You know education, if you make the most of it, you study hard, you do your homework, and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. If you don’t you get stuck in Iraq,” and

WHEREAS on August 13, 2007, Senator Obama of Illinois accused our troops of reckless disregard for civilian life, stating “We’ve got to get the job done there and that requires us to have enough troops so that we’re not just air-raiding villages and killing civilians, which is causing enormous problems there,” and

WHEREAS on September 5, 2007, Senator Schumer of New York denigrated our troops as being inept and useless, stating “And let me be clear, the violence in Anbar has gone down despite the surge, not because of the surge. The inability of American soldiers to protect those tribes from Al Qaeda said to those tribes we have to fight Al Qaeda ourselves,” and

WHEREAS on several occasions Senator Reid of Nevada has suggested that our troops are utter failures, stating, notwithstanding extant evidence to the contrary that “The war is lost,”

NOW THEREFORE, be it resolved by the Senate of the United States and its individual members that they

(1) Shall refrain from suggesting, without warrant, that our troops are murderers, liars, torturers, idiots, losers, and traitors

(2) Shall refrain, whenever possible, from making public statements about the troops, their mission or our country that are indistinguishable form statements made by Osama Bin Laden, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad or others who have vowed to destroy the United States of America

(3) Shall refrain from introducing legislation that would impede or impair the ability of our troops to defeat our enemies or that exceeds the powers granted to Congress under Article I Section 8 of the Constitution

(4) Shall assist the Department of Veterans Affairs in expediting an investigation into the scores of reported incidents involving “phony soldiers,” including, but not limited to, those cases where individuals have made false claims about their military service in order to obtain benefits to which they are not entitled; as well as cases in which individuals have lied about the nature of their military service for the purpose of portraying our troops in a false and unflattering light, thereby undermining their mission and the public’s support therefor.

(5) Shall conduct business only in a manner calculated to best improve the probabilities of victory so that our troops may return home quickly to the honors they deserve from a nation made secure by their service.
