FALWELL: And the gay couple. They chose to marry each other.
MATTHEWS: How did they get to be gay, though?
FALWELL: Well, we probably differ there.
MATTHEWS: I'm asking.
FALWELL: But I think all behavior is chosen.
MATTHEWS: I'm open. I don't know.
FALWELL: I think that...
MATTHEWS: Did you choose to be heterosexual?
FALWELL: I did.
MATTHEWS: You chose it? You thought about it and you came up with that solution? That lifestyle? (CROSSTALK)
FALWELL: Put it this way. I was taught as a child that's the right way to...
MATTHEWS: But did you feel an attraction toward women?
FALWELL: Oh, of course.
MATTHEWS: When people are born and they find themselves having an attraction to somebody from the same sex, do you think that's a choice?
FALWELL: I think you can experiment with any kind of perversity and develop an appetite for it, just like you can food.
MATTHEWS: You don't think it's nature? You think it's nurture.
FALWELL: I don't think any -- I don't think anybody is born a bank robber or born a hostile left-winger or a hostile right-winger or gay or a promiscuous heterosexual. I think there comes a time in childhood where environment may be a part of it, whatever, teaching, instruction, one chooses, I will do this or that. And that's why good, godly parenting... (CROSSTALK)
MATTHEWS: How old were you when you chose to be heterosexual?
FALWELL: Oh, I don't remember that.
MATTHEWS: Well, you must, because you say it's a big decision.
FALWELL: Well, I started dating when I was about 13.
MATTHEWS: And you had to decide between boys and girls. And you chose girls.
FALWELL: I never had to decide. I never thought about it. (CROSSTALK)
MATTHEWS: I think it's a ridiculous proposition that you actually sit down and decide. Let me see, boy or girl this week. Anyway...
FALWELL: I don't think anybody does that.

:lol :lol :lol

Jerry Falwell on TV's across the country -- embarrassing himself.

Jerry Falwell, the biggest decision of his life.

:lol I can just picture a 13 year old Jerry Fallwell deciding between Boys and Girls, with the jeapordy music playing in the background.

 

[Socreges]

Falwell could have saved face if he challenged Matthews to a duel halfway through.

I KNEW YOU WERE COMING AT ME WITH THAT! I BROUGHT PAPERS!!

MATTHEWS: And you had to decide between boys and girls. And you chose girls.
FALWELL: I never had to decide. I never thought about it.

Well that settles that.

Jerry Falwell, thy god is logic.

There's another article on that linked page about the red stated wanting expulsion of the blue states. They're saying if blue states want to promote filth then they don't want them. Fuckin' A reds, you'll have a completely inland union. You DON'T want to lose the coasts.I suppose they'll have Florida and Texas...

 

[StoOgE]

the red states have the entire gulf and a good part of the eastern seaboard...

That's true, but the largest ports with the most traffic are in California.

 

[Triumph]

Not to mention most of the tax revenue. Sure thing, red states, go for it. You think NY and Cali want to build your fucking highways and power your TVA? I guess you could invade the blue states and then occupy them, tho.

I say we give 'em what they want, then wait for them to come crawling back.

Blue and red states don't need each other. We should just trade our conservatives for their liberals, and then everyone goes their happy way.

As Raoul Duke pointed out, they need our taxes.

As Raoul Duke pointed out, they need our taxes.

They don't need our taxes. As true red-blooded heartland Americans, they want less government. They could consider it a parting gift.

 

[Jak140]

They don't need our taxes. As true red-blooded heartland Americans, they want less government. They could consider it a parting gift.

Let me rephrase that: They need our taxes if they want to continue living at the comfort level they've grown accustomed to. But whatever, it's all hypothetical; it won't happen anyway.

Didn't do much good 140 years ago.

Am I the only one who thought of Chris Matthews sitting on his living room couch with a Genesis controller playing this?
