Gays on the Attack and under Attack

Gays on the Attack and under Attack

Few people would contest the fact that homosexuals have made enormous strides over the last forty years in gaining both acceptablility in America’s straight world, advances unimaginable prior to the Stonewall Riots in 1969.

Those upheavals in New York City’s Greenwich Village in turn led homosexuals to promote the misnomer “gay” and emboldened them to successfully intimidate the American Psychiatric Association into changing its long-standing diagnosis of homosexuality as a deviant mental illness in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders to a variation on the norm.

Forced re-definitions rarely result in alterating realities.

Still, especially in the last decade, gays have succeeded in changing reality and making themselves very visible, if not normal.

. They have become virtual staples on television sitcoms and have evolved into an almost-obsessive subject on crime shows such as NBC’s “Law and Order.”

. They have won the right to marry in six states and have been integrated into the United States military.

. They have won the right to adopt babies and young children in some states despite evidence those kids are often sexually abused.

. They have a president who has vowed to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act and who has filled his administration with more outed gays than you could shake a feather boa at.

. They sponsor Gay Pride Weeks and gay parades in a number of cities, weeks and parades filled with obscene public exhibitionism and campaigns to seduce young people into their aberrant lifestyle.

(All of the above have been detailed and documented in earlier posts on this blogsite.)

When Barack Hussein Obama’s Justice Department announced last Friday that it would not defend a case involving a constitutional challenge to same-sex mariages, the DoJ virtually assured the nation that DOMA will be repealed should Obama win a second term. . .

Al Franken Finds His Sick Niche

Al Franken Finds His Sick Niche

You can dress a clown up as a senator but he would still be a clown, and not necessarily a very funny clown. Alan Stuart Franken, aka the dopey, simpering, effeminate Stuart Smalley, was canned because he wasn’t funny on “Saturday Night Live,” failed with talk radio’s leftist Air America, and had little else to do but stage a run for the United States Senate.

Inexplicably, Minnesotans elected him–by 312 votes and with more than a little help from ineligible Twin Cities convicted felons, creative re-counting of ballots, and empathetic Minnesota courts. Coincidentally, Minnesota’s state bird is the common loon.

And so Mr. Franken went to Washington in 2009 toting all his baggage and a tainted plurality.

He was thrilled according to CNN and is finally on a comic roll in D.C., such as it is.

Freshmen senators don’t usually accomplish much early on in their senatorial tenures but Franken recently hit his stride by taking positions on two controversial issues now being debated in congress: the repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act, DOMA, and the debt ceiling.

He was wrong on both.

Defying the odds and never letting facts cloud his judgment, Franken ripped into the Bill Clinton initiative, DOMA, passed by an overwhelming 84% of congress fifteen years ago and subsequently reinforced by 31 of 31 states which concurred that a marriage consists of one man, one woman, no variations allowed.

A number of prominant Democrats including Sens. Harry Reid and Pat Leahy supported DOMA in 1996 but, with the rise of gay social and political power, have switched sides and abandoned whatever principles they once had.

Sen. Franken is equally-unprincipled even if he is hardly prominent but he blows in the political winds with the best of them.

In pushing for support of the Respect for [Homosexual] Marriage Act to replace DOMA, Franken attacked an anti-gay marriage advocate, Tom Minnery, for citing a 2007 HHS study. That study unequivocably showed that children fare better in a “nuclear family” consisting of biological or adoptive parents.

Franken contended that same-sex parents do just as well rearing their kids, ignoring the reality that there were approximately 59 million normal married households in America versus 0.0002% of gay families among the “nuclear households” at the time of the HHS conclusions.

In addition and despite gay claims . . .

HR4646: The Damned Democrat 1% Solution for What Ails Us

HR4646: The Damned Democrat 1% Solution for What Ails Us

. . . Well, those Dems are at it again with HR4646. Compounding their deceit and since they were unable to pass it in 2009, it will be shelved until after the 2012 election, assuming they win.

When first proposed, then-Speaker Pelosi said of HR4646, “I believe that the transaction tax still has a great deal of merit” and would have a “really minimal impact on the transaction, but a tremendous impact on helping us meet our needs.”

From the perspective of the multimillionaire Pelosi family, the 1% tax/fee might be really minimal. From the perspective of real Americans, the impact would be really significant.

Even liberal-leaning Snopes.com expressed outrage in its article, “The One Percent Solution,” subtitled, “The Transaction Tax WHAT THE HELL IS THIS??” (Snopes’ emphasis) . . .

DADT Is Dead, DOMA Is Next

DADT Is Dead, DOMA Is Next

The eminently-transparent President Barack Hussein Obama has never attempted to conceal his eminently-obvious predilection toward the homosexual community, one of his staunchest constituencies–except during election cycles.

In 2008, he devoutly–ok, not devoutly but straightforwardly–professed his belief in the sanctity–ok, not the sanctity but the tradition–of marriage as an institution involving the union of one man and one woman, pretty much what most voters and most rational people on the planet believed.

Admittedly and to his credit, candidate Obama did publicly pledge to his gay friends that he would push for repeal of a related tradition, the Bill Clinton policy of the military not asking homosexuals if they were homosexual and homosexuals not saying they were homosexuals, better known as Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell or DADT.

President Obama and his lame duck Democrat congress succeeded in pushing through a repeal of DADT amid congressional chaos last December and gays were happy and gay, but not satisfied. That other gay-repugnant Clinton law, the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act, aka DOMA, remained on the books and homosexuals demanded it be removed.

Now, relatively few gays are militaristic and I’m guessing even fewer personally give much of damn whether homosexuals in the Army, Navy, Marines, and Coast Guard can’t be asked and can’t say what their sexual proclivities are but they insisted DADT be repealed on principle, the principle being they wanted their way.

They got it, even if the military–as fully anticipated–still has no clue on how to implement gay integration into the armed forces. Military and has petitioned for and has been accorded more time to effect implementation of the new policy.

Next on the gay agenda is dumping DOMA, . . .

Complements to Gay Marriage and Gay Pride

Complements to Gay Marriage and Gay Pride

It seems only appropriate to complement, not compliment, Friday’s passage of New York State’s deceptively-titled Marriage Equality Act and Sunday’s New York City’s Gay Pride Parade with some related news stories, one equally-bizarre.

For those unaware–and you really should try to keep up–New York’s Democrat Governor Andrew Cuomo late Friday eagerly affixed his signature to a law passed overwhelmingly by Democrat legislators, with aid, comfort, and votes furnished by four Republicans, which grants official approval for men to wed men, women to marry women, and God only knows what else in the Empire State.

The timing couldn’t have been better for homosexuals since passage of the law coincides with the annual Gay Pride Week culminating on Sunday with a parade which wrapped up in Greenwich Village where the gay liberation movement began.

As of this writing, news coverage on the parade is just coming in and what’s hit the MSM wires and local tv channels are the usual sanitized reports devoid of what goes on at such parades plus heaps of adulation poured on Cuomo for his coverage. The governor marched this year to much applause in preparation for his guaranteed run for the presidency in 2016 after locking up 2% of the electorate, the gay vote.

If the festivities were anything like previous gay parades and, after Democrats got their way and passed the Marriage Equality Act only days before, the parade probably surpassed homosexual excesses of the past.

Those excesses and what follows give added credibility to Archbishop Timothy Dolan’s dire analysis that the new law threatens “the cornerstones of civilization.”

See “Gays on Parade–Literally!” for some insight, including a video of a previous Gay Pride parade featuring, among other obscenities, Big Apple Dem politicians and a giant, green penis flailing onlookers, (http://bit.ly/l8RqxS)

One anticipated, intended consequence of passing the Marriage Equality Act was articulated by New York’s junior senator, Kirsten Gillibrand. She was “thrilled” with the new law but cautioned that, ”Our work is not done.” Having learned well her lessons from her mentor, New York’s senior senator Chuch Schumer, she indicated that congress will renew its efforts to repeal another bulwark of civilization, the Defense of Marriage Act, DOMA. . .

Not So Gay News

Not So Gay News

Homosexuals and their supporters are nothing if not indefatigable, and devious. Since Obama became president, they’ve grown even more relentless in their pursuit of acceptance by the straight world and they’re succeeding by virtual gazelle leaps.

With the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell Act killed by the the lame duck Democrat Congress last session–and the Defense of Marriage Act in its death throes by executive fiat–implementation of the military’s new policy of tolerance of homosexual behavior has begun, starting with indoctrinating commanding officers and working its way down to the grunts.

Even the Marine Corps, whose commandant had voiced strong opposition to repealing DADT, has caved. Bible-believing chaplains are bearing the brunt of the responsibility of explaining why the government is right and the Bible is wrong. Gay Marines hugging and kissing will now be considered as acceptable and “appropriate:” http://bit.ly/hqSOuc

The appropriateness of other homosexual practices and whether engaging in them during combat has yet to be addressed.

With their right to subvert the military now ensured, homosexuals are now able to focus on their primary interest, converting the young to believing that the gay lifestyle is nothing more or less than a variation on the norm, if not more normal than normal.

They’ve learned Communism’s lesson well, to get them while they’re young.

Of late, in order to end run around increasing awareness of their aims, they’ve also learned to cloak their schemes with the mantle of school lessons in health to get kids attuned to sexual body parts and to attune them early. After all, sexualizing kids young is advantageous when you later try to pervert their sexuality.

The annual student indoctrination has resumed in the hottest bed of homosexuality in the land, the State of Massachusetts, which just launched what one Bay State mother calls its “wrong rite of spring.” It features kindergarteners learning anatomy and essential vocabulary and “a list words that included not only penis and vagina, but also scrotum and vulva!”

Wait, you say, sick, yes, but what’s so gay about all that? . . .

Obama, "Who the Hell Do You Think You Are?"

Obama, "Who the Hell Do You Think You Are?"

For some while now–about two years or so–I’ve been thinking that things can’t really be as bad as my perceptions tell me, that the United States isn’t respected internationally, that the economy and unemployment rate aren’t improving, that our commander in chief was so far in under his head that he can’t tell which side is up, that he is a committed ideologue whose commitments supersede by far the interests of America, that he is a loser par excellence.

My suspicions are rapidly being confirmed and Rasmussen.com confirms the American people are on to Barack Hussein Obama, the pseudo-American apotheosis, as well.

If they still hold firm to the belief that he is deserving of even minimal respect, witness the disrepectful reflections of an unacknowledged buddy and intimate of his former pastor, Jeremiah “God Damn America” Wright and Moammar “Daffy” Gadhafy, Rev. Louis “Calypso Louis” Farrakhan: http://bit.ly/hKWHwt.

For those not curious enough to click on that story and video, Nation of Islam leader Farrakhan addresses his brother Obama and says, among other things, ”I warn my brother do you [sic] let these wicked demons move you in a direction that will absolutely ruin your future with your people in Africa and throughout the world. . . Why don’t you organize a group of respected Americans and ask for a meeting with Qaddafi, you can’t order him to step down and get out.”

Calypso Louie then totally disses his bro, the President of the United States, with the rhetorical question, “Who the hell do you think you are?”

Disapprobation by one’s bros may be acceptable to fellow bros. Statistics may not be.

The highly-respected pollster Rasmussen.com has tracked Obama’s approval ratings literally from Day One, January 21, 2009 when his approval index was 28 with a whopping 44% of Americans strongly approving the president and 65% in the total approving column and a mere 16% strongly disapproving, 30% total disapproval.

Contrast those numbers with March 19, 2011 . . .

The States of Maine and Marriage

The States of Maine and Marriage

Two widely disparate topics, Maine and marriage, may be more closely related than appears at first glance. They are linked by payoffs.

The state of Maine, not usually in the news this time of year for anything other than what its RINO Republicans are up to in Washington or record cold snaps, has gained a new distinction as the first state to win an Obamacare waiver from HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius.

Maine thus joins an increasingly unselective group of 1,040–as of Thursday–including McDonalds, the Service Employees International Union, Teamsters, UFCW, Steelworkers, Communications Workers of America, United Federation of Teachers, public sector unions, and numerous local school disricts encompassing 2.5 million Americans–as of Thursday.

Maine and the other elites are exempted from the onerous and expensive regulations imposed on the rest of us schleps, which onerousness and expense increase with every new waiver since the whole concept of Obamacare was predicated on sharing the costs. The fewer the participants, which numbers shrink with every waiver, the higher their costs.

As always with this administration, there’s a proffered excuse, in the case of the Pine Tree State, a threat by a major insurer, MEGA Life and Health, to “withdraw from the market altogether if the federal requirement remained in place:” http://tiny.cc/91ftl

The unannounced threat posed by many of the other exemptees, and virtually all of the waivered unions, is to withdraw from supporting Obama in 2012. No fool he, the president knows where his bread is buttered and where his political contributions come from. He took the state in ’08 with 57.71% of the vote, a difference of 126,650 votes.

The president also knows who won’t be sending him big bucks . . .

America Blowing in the Impeachment Wind

America Blowing in the Impeachment Wind

The lyrics of Bob Dylan’s 1963 ambiguous anti-war song of protest, “Blowin’ in the Wind,” conclude with the lines, “The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind/The answer is blowin’ in the wind.” Regrettably, although Dylan posed some questions, he never provided any answers to the satisfaction of my obtuse mind.

It’s all the more regrettable since, if Dylan’s mind hadn’t been boiled in drugs, he would still be rambling on today and could tell us the answer when there are more winds blowing than ever before in American history.

Those winds are blowing everywhere in 2011, winds of war in the Mideast, winds of upheaval in America’s schools and streets, winds of despair and confusion in America’s economy and stock market, winds of change in Washington that only President Obama’s most ardent acolytes could ever have foreseen.

One can’t help but think that today’s winds, if not all orchestrated and manipulated from Washington, are being cultivated and fanned by the Obama administration to accomplish its near and short term goals of Obama’s re-election followed by Obama’s ultimate change, the transformation of America into the dream of his father and of his mentor, Saul Alinsky.

The precise nature of that dream has yet to be revealed although we know it involves a socialistic “workers’ paradise” predicated on a nightmarish existence in which a tyrannical Big Barack and his minions call all the shots. A rudimentary rule for any tyrant is to dictate designated exceptions in laws or to order by executive fiat an existing law null and void.

The administration’s latest effort in that regard was to undermine the rule of law in the country by “deciding” not to defend an established statute, the Defense of Marriage Act, DOMA.

That action, or inaction, was not only an abrogation of Constitutional mandates but also a reinforcement of a precedent previously set when Obama’s Attorney General Eric Holder “decided” that civil rights laws and penalties only attach to white people and not to black revolutionaries in the New Black Panther Party.

When the Obama administration announced on Wednesday that it had withdrawn its legal support for DOMA and stated that the law is unconstitutional and therefore the Justice Department is under no obligation to defend it, Obama and Holder effectively threw out a law on the books for 15 years. Hypocritically contending he was still “grappling” with the concept of gay marriage instead of forthrightly admitting he was actually catering to the demands of his gay constituency, the Grappler in Chief thus assumed the role of a one-man Supreme Court.

Chief DoJ lackey, AG Holder, explained the president’s position . . .

Pushy, Pushy, Pushy! Give Gays an Inch and They Push for a Mile!

Pushy, Pushy, Pushy! Give Gays an Inch and They Take a Mile!

Barack Hussein Obama is by far the most gay-friendly president in America’s history.

PoliticsDaily.com, a liberal website, reports that,”President Barack Obama has already named more gay men and lesbians to administration positions than any White House. . . Obama has appointed 150 gays to high-level slots at agencies, commissions, and White House staff positions compared to 140 named by President Clinton during the entire eight years of his presidency:” http://tiny.cc/9vwsg

That’s a prodigious number considering that Obama has only been in office for 21 months and considering that homosexuals comprise a mere 2% of America’s population.

It would seem that America’s gays have gotten more than a very equitable shake from this president, including having gays such as Kevin Jennings, Assistant Deputy Secretary for Safe and Drug-Free Schools, in very high positions. The Jennings’ appointment was tantamount to naming John Gotti as Chief Investigator of the Mafia.

Nevertheless, gays,an Obama prime constituency, third in the faithful line after African-Americans and union members, aren’t as pleased with him as one might suppose.

He captured their vote in 2008 based on his pledges to do their bidding on issues such as repealing the military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” (DADT), policy, a policy dating back to Bill Clinton’s first year as president, and promising to get rid of that dastardly Defense of Marriage Act, (DOMA), another Clinton law which basically gave a federal imprimatur to the all but universal understanding that marriage is a sacred compact between one man and one woman.

The gay lobby viewed both DADT and DOMA as discriminatory even as most of America viewed them as very reasonable and very proper.

Despite bending over backwards to satisfy his many gay friends–and that’s not a reference to any gay sex maneuvers!–Obama hasn’t as yet gotten his rubber-stamp congress to repeal DADT or DOMA.

In the collective and impatient homosexual mind, therefore, he hasn’t done nearly enough for them. And they’re letting him know about their thinking . . .

Updates: Al Gore, DOMA, JournoList

Updates: Al Gore, DOMA, JournoList

In an effort to keep abreast of rapidly-developing news events, a few updates on Albert Arnold Gore, the Defense of Marriage Act, and JournoList, that group of liberal “journalists” who conspired against the American people.

Al Gore: In the matter of the former Vice President of the United States, the term, “keeping abreast” takes on a whole new meaning. Tipper seems to have bailed just in time before the Gore Maelstrom struck.

Already in hot water on a planet he says is inconveniently getting hotter by the hour, more dirt has developed about the Goreacle.

Molly Haggerty, the 54 year old Portland, Oregon licensed massage therapist had already outed the world’s pre-eminent environmentalist as a “crazed sex poodle” who groped her and attempted to take advantage of her when they were alone in Gore’s hotel room late one night in 2006.

Molly Henneberger, editor of PoliticsDaily.com, subsequently identified him as a man who couldn’t keep a civil tongue in his head and instead wanted to boorishly put it down a strange woman’s throat.

LGBT Pride and Shame

LGBT Pride and Shame

In case anyone missed it, for the second year in a row President Barack Hussein Obama has issued a presidential proclamation declaring June to be “Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Pride Month.”

Carrying the same weight as Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation freeing the slaves in 1863, Obama’s LGBT Pride Proclamation concludes with these stirring words: “NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim June 2010 as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month. I call upon all Americans to observe this month by fighting prejudice and discrimination in their own lives and everywhere it exists.”

Additional Excerpts:

. As Americans, it is our birthright that all people are created equal and deserve the same rights, privileges, and opportunities.

. LGBT Americans have enriched and strengthened the fabric of our national life.

. We must give committed gay couples the same rights and responsibilities afforded to any married couple, and repeal the Defense of Marriage Act. We must protect the rights of LGBT . . .

Lying Words and Lying Wordmeisters


Lying Words and Lying Wordmeisters

Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never harm me. Some readers may recall that taunt from childhood days, either as the taunted or the tauntee.

While it’s definitely true that sticks and stones can do immeasurable damage to the human frame, it’s not always conversely true that words can never harm us. Words have meaning, words have impact, words can be far more damaging than sticks and stones, depending on the size of those sticks and stones.

The pen is mightier than the sword, an adage coined by Edward Bulwer-Lytton before it became an adage, had confused me as a kid when I figured the only way a pen could be a more effective weapon than a sword would be if you were in close combat and stuck the pen in your adversary’s eyeball.

I was wrong.

Pens seem headed the way of high button shoes and dodo birds anyway but words will always be mightier than mere physical weaponry whether expressed to make a salient point, to drive home an argument, or to conceal an issue and deceive the reader/listener.

The Obama administration and the master wordster himself, President Barack Hussein Obama, are extremely adept at manipulation of the English language to suit their purposes.

Hence we see and hear that the administration’s DOJ supports the Defense of Marriage Act, designed to preserve the one man-one woman institution of marriage on June 12th. That serves to placate “social conservatives” and most normal people. Less than a week later, Obama announced plans to extend health benefits to gay unions, thereby consoling one of Obama’s major constituencies, to a degree since they want much more than that: http://www.cnsnews.com/public/content/article.aspx?RsrcID=49670.

However, the Master Deceiver has succeeded in keeping two large blocs relatively content for the moment with a piece of the pie and he knows most voters have this penchant for forgetting. He’s also aware that gays know that his message to them is, “Chill, people! Be patient. You’ll have the whole pie soon enough.”

Likewise, Obama must have satisfied some gun owners with his stated support, albeit less than staunch support, for the constitutional right of Americans to own guns. Yet, gun owners are finding it increasingly difficult to find and buy ammunition for those guns, rendering any weapons dust collecters or, at best, useful as clubs.

CNN attributes the ammo shortage to gun owners stocking up, a reflection of gnawing fears over this administration, substantive fears based on Obama’s history of opposing the D.C. gun-ownership law and voting against the right to keep and bear arms. That stockpiling could be part of the reason for the shortage: http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/05/04/ammo.shortage/index.html.

Another reason is more clandestine. Rumors have long been afoot that government agents have been buying up boxcar loads of ammunition in an Obama effort to say one thing, “Sure, you can own guns!” while making citizen-owned weapons as useless as teats on a bull.

As one blogger put it, ”I hate to point out the obvious, but it’s called enforced disarmament. If they can’t take your guns by law, they just take the ammo. At the end of the day it has the same outcome. Martial Law here we come!:” http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread439348/pg1.

Extreme? It sure is but it makes as much sense as believing billions of bullets and shells are being bought up by everyday gun owners. With his stimulus funds overflowing, what better way can gun-phobic Obama disarm Americans than diverting a few billion to buy ammunition?

(Not just incidentally, Boy Scouts and whittlers should be put on notice: Customs agents are now using “convoluted reasoning” to prohibit the importation of pocket knives. Knives like guns kill people too, ya know!: http://www.cnsnews.com/public/content/article.aspx?RsrcID=49527)

George H. W. Bush lost the election of 1992 largely because of his foolish “Read my lips” comment on raising taxes. Obama won in 2008 largely because of his promises of change, chief among which changes was reversing the recession and getting Americans back to work.

Now don’t just read his lips but note his empty promises. The country is far worse off in June, 2009 than it was in January when he took office, . . .
