Barney Frank Regarding the scores of “tea party” people roaming the halls of Congress yesterday…… Before, I thought I was talking to the dining room table. Now I feel like I'm in a furniture warehouse.

Recently, Liberty University, the college founded by Jerry Falwell,
named me as one of the ten liberals most in need of prayer through the
school's new "Adopt-a-Liberal" program.

Participants are
supposed to pray for liberals to be "quiet and peaceable." This
strikes me as somewhat hypocritical because Reverend Falwell wa...s the
opposite of quiet and peaceable. This is a man who said Tinky Winky
was gay, and that the terrible things that had happened in America were
a punishment because the country wasn't sufficiently anti-gay. He
conjured up a vengeful and vindictive God, who hurt innocent people
because other people did things with which Reverend Falwell disagreed. This is a distortion of what I understand to be the
meaning of prayer.

Those of us who are gay or lesbian have been accused of having a “radical agenda.” But as I look at radicalism through history, trying to get a job or join the military have not been the hallmarks of radicalism. It is a testament to our great nation that that our laws do not allow workplace discrimination on the basi...s of race, religion, gender, national origin, age, or disability. But many states still allow discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity. It’s time for that to stop. That’s all we’re talking about today.Read More

Barney Frank I am puzzled by the reasoning of those who oppose the public option.

On the one hand, they claim that the government can’t do anything right and that a public health insurance plan would be a disaster.

The Republicans' wild arguments against the health care reform shows that they are getting desperate. When I am in a debate with people and they are making cogent arguments, I get a little nervous. But the problem for the Republicans is that they don't have good arguments, so they invent things like "death panels." ...When people make ridiculous arguments about something, it's because it's ALL THEY'VE GOT.Read More
