Reflecting on the issue of posthumous baptism this Presidents Day
Monday, February 20th, 2012I’m going to preface this entire post by saying that I respect all people’s rights to their own religions. What you choose to believe, and even what you choose to not believe, is your right, and I respect that. What I do not respect is doing something without a person’s consent. Hateful remarks like, “I [...]
Racism, thy platform is Fox News
Thursday, February 16th, 2012Why is it Fox News allows racism to run rampant on their airways? One of their commentators, Eric Bolling, talked about Maxine Waters recently. When she called republican’s “demons”, he told her she needs to step back from the crack pipe. He pulled back from it, but does it really matter? Not a fan of [...]
ATTN: People Blaming Obama for the Arizona Immigration Law Being Stopped
Wednesday, July 28th, 2010Yes, the racist Arizona law was blocked. It’s all over the news. And people are already blaming Obama for it. WTF? Here’s the facts. The law was blocked by a Federal Judge, not Obama. Her name is Susan Bolton. Who is Susan Bolton? Someone who has lived in Arizona for quite a while. Someone who [...]
Reasons for the LGBT community to worry – part 2
Monday, April 26th, 2010Wow, it didn’t take time for the other shoe to drop. Not six hours after my first post on why the LGBT community may have a reason to worry comes a new reason to wonder what the LGBT community has coming to them from the Obama White House. This one is more subtle than a [...]
Underneath the talking points lay hate
Monday, April 26th, 2010Reposted from sister blog BuryingTheLead.com There is something to be said about the Republican party starting with the 2008 election, and that is their connection to violent speech. Everyone remembers Palin’s comments during the 2008 election cycle where she claimed Barack Obama “palled around with terrorists“, and the fact that she didn’t denounce hate-speech shouted [...]
Reasons for the LGBT community to worry?
Monday, April 26th, 2010There is a lead over at AMERICAblog Gay with the headline: Did the White House really just threaten to cut off the entire gay community? Now here’s the thing. The story talks about how Obama’s Chief of Staff Rahm Emanual and Deputy Chief of Staff Jim Messina are PISSED at the LGBT community for actions [...]
We must be our own fierce advocate, because to everyone else, we are just props
Thursday, March 18th, 2010Remember during the 2008 election, when Senator Barack Obama said that he would be a “fierce advocate” for the GLBT community? Fast forward a few months, when President Obama’s administration defended DOMA, the Defense of Marriage Act, and equated gay marriage to pedophilia and incest. Remember the 1992 election, when Governor Clinton became one of [...]
A tale of two headlines
Tuesday, March 16th, 2010Okay, so it’s more than two headlines. It’s the concept of two different headlines for the same basic story, with VERY different undertones. But it’s the headline that gets you going, and gets you into the story, which is all the more reason that this has been bugging me all day long. I use Yahoo!’s [...]
Why I Want To Run the White House Healthcare Planning and Debate
Thursday, August 20th, 2009Okay, I have to admit that at times, I can be a control freak. But it is only because when I see something is misguided and not firing on all cylinders, I want to make it right for all those concerned. It’s this reason that I want to go to the White House and be [...]
New DNC ad. What do you think?
Tuesday, August 4th, 2009Have you seen the new DNC ad? It explains how the RNC attacks on Obama and healthcare are purely for political reasons, and the public “outrage” at town hall meetings is bought and paid for by the RNC. Watch it here – and tell us what you think.
