Again, mixed feelings. Same as the Santorum thing. Not that I'm gay, but I care about their dignity.

If you joined the Tea Party, and were not forced into it, do you retain your full dignity?

No, it's not. See, you've decided to define what constitutes "dehumanization"

when you treat a PERSON like a thing, that is dehumanizing. and yes, that is hate.

You're having a meaningful discussion now, just with someone who doesn't agree with you.

Beauty pagents for women don't really matter either, in the grand scheme of things.

I don't know that "bragging" is the best word. I think "justifying" or "rationalizing"
