GLBT People Finally Getting A Clue »

Well, Obama is pandering to the GLBT community again. He gave a speech to the Human RIghts Campaign Friday, October 9th. Personally, I think he was trying to ward off the big-ass march planned against him in DC byt the GLBT community. It didn’t work, I might add. Seems some folks [...]

“Obama To Tackle Gay Law, Aide Says” »

That’s the headline I saw Monday morning at AOL . Of course my response was, “Whaaa” For real?? How fortuitous since General McChrystal is saying we need more troops in Afghanistan! Is this true??” And then I read the article. The short answer is, “No.”
Here is the [...]

Them’s Fightin’ Words »

By now, most everyone has heard that President Carter claimed people who don’t support Obama do so because they are racists. Wow. Obviously, this is shocking on the face of it. If you have not heard this, the video is below. I also recommend two very good posts on this topic, one [...]

While Obama Continues to Erect Roadblocks, Congress Presses to End “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” Policy »

The only reason I’m writing this story about gays in the military instead of the true expert, Rabble Rouser Reverend Amy, who’s hammered President Obama for not carrying through with his campaign promises to revoke “don’t ask don’t tell” — is that I happened to catch a segment on upcoming Armed Services hearing to [...]

The First One Hundred Days »

Is that all? Sigh – it seems like this has been going on forever. Maybe it’s just the MSM’s continued fawning over Obama, like yelling to the rafters what a HIGH poll number he has. Okay, it is more than half, but they are going this nuts over 56%? Seriously??? [...]

Which Way Will He Go? »

Alert NQ reader, CG, provided the link to this article, and asked me what I thought about it. Here’s the article:
Obama on Spot Over a Benefit to Gay Couples
Just seven weeks into office, President Obama is being forced to confront one of the most sensitive social and political issues of the day: whether the [...]

Gimme That Old Time Religion – Updated (H/T – SusanUnPC) »

I’ve got some astonishing news about President Obama’s “faith groups,” the 15 meetings that Obama and staff have held so far with these faith groups, and the kinds of faith leaders he’s inviting, including the notorious Rev. James Meeks. What is even more astonishing is how little press this is getting – 15 [...]

Well, Golly Gee, Anne, That Will Learn Him! »

As in Anne Hathaway, an actress I actually like, and one whose movies I have seen (yes, both Princess Diaries – what’s your point??!). She has taken such a strong stand, I am sure you will agree, on an important issue. Oh, yes – I am talking, of course, about her decision to [...]

Chicago Politics »

I saw this headline in my local paper, “Illinois Corruption: Deep Roots, Tough to Weed Out” an AP piece by Sharon Cohen. In this piece, she details the long, long history of corruption in Chicago, and Illinois, politics. Also in this lengthy article, the only mention of Obama, the man who chose to [...]

AYERS VIDEO on Hardball with Chris Matthews »

CHRIS MATTHEWS to Bill Ayers, December 10, 2008, Hardball, MSNBC: “I was a Capitol policeman at the time, so I was one of the guys that could have been killed obviously at the time you put that, your guys put that bomb in there. So I have a little personal interest. It wasn’t [...]

Why Is Obama Pushing Daley’s Plan for Chicago to Host Olympics in 2016? »

Just as Daley controlled Obama in Chicago, Daley will control Obama in Washington, DC. I quote the Chicago Tribune with added emphasis:
It didn’t take long for Barack Obama to start playing a significant role in promoting Chicago’s bid for the 2016 Summer Olympics.
About 15 minutes into Chicago’s Friday presentation of its bid plans to [...]

Minister Farrakhan and Barack Obama »

There has been a virtual wall of silence around Barack Obama’s long-time ties with Minister Louis Farrakhan of the Nation of Islam. One is tempted to dismissively say that the Minister is ‘just a guy in the neighborhood’, much like William Ayers.
Turns out that Ayers was not just a guy in the neighborhood. [...]

Putting A Fine Edge On Proposition 8 »

My partner and I CHOOSE to spread our wealth around to a number of non-profit organizations (our choice, not the govenrment’s), unlike the Obamas and Bidens, who choose to give very little of theirs, especially compared to the McCains and Palins. But I digress. The point is that one of the (many)organizations we [...]

ATTN LGBT VOTERS: Barack Obama Is a Triangulating Homophobe »

How else does one explain the following?
Obama told MTV he believes marriage is “between a man and a woman” and that he is “not in favor of gay marriage.”
At the same time, Obama reiterated his opposition to Proposition 8, the California ballot measure which would eliminate a right to same-sex marriage that the state’s [...]

Twelve Days Before the Election »

On the first day … a partridge in a pear tree (said to represent Jesus Christ).
Donna Brazile, Howard Dean, Louis Farrakhan, and Oprah Winfrey gave us The One, The Messiah. Chris Matthews got a tingle up his leg. 

On the second day … two turtle doves (said to represent the Old and New Testaments).
The Democratic party [...]
