From several other dictionaries:

Inherent:

Existing in something as a permanent, essential, or characteristic attribute: “inherent dangers”.

Aberrant sexuality is not a fundamental liberty and defending morality is not hateful “bigotry.” Hillary claims, “Being gay is not a Western invention, it is a human reality.” But homosexuality is about changeable behavior — not intrinsic, innate identity — as evidenced by countless men and women who now live happy lives apart from homosexuality, despite once considering themselves “gay” or “lesbian.”

Clinton’s-faulty premise-homosexuality is inherent-skews the whole article…

From Webster: intrinsic-inherent

From Webster: inherint-derive from parents

So, homosexuality is like eye color, you inherint it from your parents?

That’s good science!

Clinton then appeals to the Golden Rule. I like this.

Christ to the woman caught in adultery “go and sin no more…unless something worse happen to you”

What could be worse than being stoned to death?

Anyone?

joe has been banned from this blog before and somehow he manages to evade the filter. In any case, I will leave up his last comment because the replies to it won’t make sense otherwise. However, there is no need to continue since he won’t be continue to troll it up here.

I appeal to your self-interest—if your empathy for your LGBT brothers & sisters is lacking. (I pray you are capable of the latter)

The longer you delay, the more you sentence your children to isolation in the global community, and the inevitable deprivations that will come w/ that isolation.

You are absolutely right about Maazi and his “brethren”. I think they want isolation though and if they pursue this course of action they will get it. Maazi seems to think oil will save them – LOL

Clinton here is not calling for anyone to agree that homosexual behavior is in line with their religious beliefs. However, she is calling for people to act in accord with their religious beliefs about reciprocal treatment. If you don’t want to be discriminated against for something intrinsic to you, then don’t do it to others.

Bogus propaganda !!! There is nothing “intrinsic” about gayism and we reject the libertarian ideology completely. Not only do we object with gayism, we are determined to eventually codify those objections into law in line with wishes of the Ugandan people.

I am thinking this whole Uganda drama was a good thing. It brought things into bold relief. It gives the administration an opportunity to take a stand.

I am not a public policy and diplomatic relations guy, so I don’t know how the whole funding piece gets turned on and turned off in such situations.

It seems confusing to me when we are dealing with Muslim or Christian or Secular nation states…I am not sure how our assistance to Saudi Arabia is linked to human rights for women (vote, drive a car, wear clothing of their choice, etc.) for example.

My hunch is that the policy will be overlooked with countries we have the least likelihood of influencing, but are most strategically important to have some financial foothold.

My hunch is the policy will be more rigorously applied with countries that are the most financially dependent upon us and are least likely to be strategically important.

That is the way it has seemed to me with other attempts to foster human rights.

Given the activities noted on this blog about Uganda, this is a very good move.

we do are not a colony of the western world

And for that I thank merciful God!
