Welcoming sodomites at the White House

  

Memo to prez: My 'old attitude' was pro-'gay'
 At a meeting this week with homosexual activists invited to the White House for a "gay pride" celebration (read: Founding Fathers rolling over in graves), our president, Barack Obama, reassured the discouraged sexual outlaws that he will eventually champion all the items on their wish list.  

He said, however, that a little time is needed, because some basically good people (read: stupid, but who maybe voted for him) still cling to "worn arguments and old attitudes." They just aren't quite on board with really important and vital legislative priorities like forcing all Americans to recognize two men as husband and husband, federally blessing the employment of pre-school transvestite teachers, and permitting Bruce the female impersonator to get that long-awaited promotion as your son's drill sergeant.

I wonder if the president has run into anyone like me. There are quite a few of us. We used to be in favor of "gay rights." We once believed sodomy was probably OK for those harmless few who are born that way. It really didn't affect "my" marriage, and everybody just needed to lighten up and let them have their little relationships.

Yes, the "gay" pride parades were questionable, even gross, but who was I to judge? I didn't really keep up with what was happening much anyway, unless it involved celebrity marriage or death, or maybe some natural disaster. Like AIDS. But that's a heterosexual disease all of us share, isn't it?

Don't miss David Kupelian's culture-war classic, "The Marketing of Evil: How Radicals, Elitists, and Pseudo-Experts Sell Us Corruption Disguised as Freedom"

Then one day, someone came into my life, a big Someone. And opened my eyes. And as I read Scripture, and history, and the daily news, I reacted in shock: America is in major trouble. We are imploding from within – I probably contributed through my complacency – and the actors of this anarchy are some of those writhing drag queens on the parade floats. Oh, and the multi-million dollar activist groups propping them up. Sad people, but still causing great harm.

My "old attitudes" and "worn arguments" were based on little information and a lot of secular progressive (read: self-centered and shallow) values. It was when I opened my mind, looked at the broader spectrum of history, probed deeper than the journalism intern headlines and did my own research that I discovered a very troubling reality.

Obama plays chicken

 

''You might be a scaredy-cat if ... the president of France

 

 

is talking tougher than you are.''

 

On Iran, President Obama is worse than Hamlet. He's Colin Powell, waiting to see who wins before picking a side.

Last week, massive protests roiled Iran in response to an apparently fraudulent presidential election, in which nutcase Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was declared the winner within two hours of the polls closing. (ACORN must be involved.)

Obama responded by boldly declaring that the difference between the loon Ahmadinejad and his reformist challenger, Mir Hossein Mousavi, "may not be as great as advertised."

Maybe the thousands of dissenters risking their lives protesting on the streets of Tehran are doing so because they liked Mousavi's answer to the "boxers or briefs" question better than Ahmadinejad's.

Then, in a manly rebuke to the cheating mullahs, Obama said: "You've seen in Iran some initial reaction from the supreme leader" – peace be upon him – "that indicates he understands the Iranian people have deep concerns about the election."

Plumb the depths of our in-the-tank news industry with "A Slobbering Love Affair: The True (and Pathetic) Story of the Torrid Romance Between Barack Obama and the Mainstream Media"

Did FDR give speeches referring to Adolf Hitler as "Herr Fuhrer"? What's with Obama?

Obama's health site seeking 'nightmares'

President Obama has launched an online "health care story bank" that allows citizens to share real-life medical horror stories and stimulate support for his health care plans for the nation.

The blog, located at Obama's Organizing for America website, is titled "Health Care Stories for America." It asks visitors to read stories from people across the country and "see the common thread in a crisis that affects us all."

When a user is moved by a particular story – one that inspires them to act and "reminds us all of the human cost of the status quo" – they may vote to "amplify" the listing by clicking on a megaphone icon or flag it as inappropriate. Clicking the amplify option makes the listing more prominent.

In its terms of service, the story bank notifies users that moderators have the right to "edit, refuse to post or remove any material submitted to or posted on our Website …"

The medical nightmares range from people who claim to have been diagnosed with cancer while unemployed to a single mother who could not afford health insurance after a divorce. Some comments include the following:

  • I remember when there was someone who wanted to give every American the same coverage that members of congress receive. Millions of people voted for that man. That man is now in the pocket of the health care lobby. … For shame.
  • First when I was in college I went several years without health insurance. I had a part time job but of course benefits don't come with a part time job. I learned the hard way. …
  • Why if I'm covered with insurance do I have to pay $150.00 for an ER visit?
  • I have spent almost all of my adult life without health insurance, as I could not afford the monthly payments.
