HOME DEPOT GOES LAVENDER
Please visit the AFA site at this link: http://action.afa.net/item.aspx?id=2147496231 You've got to see it to believe it. Apathy and inaction by the majority in America is rapidly setting up a distinct two-tier class system in the U.S. Orwell's warning in "Animal Farm" has become a reality, some people are MORE EQUAL than others. Viewpoint discrimination has gone viral and in this instance and in the recent defeat of Prop 8 in California prove that the smallest minority can deny the majority the democratic process. As I have written on Free Republic many times, "When Fascism comes to America it will…

Rosie O'Donnell Admits She Got Married in S.F. Merely As Act of 'Defiance' Against Bush
Rosie O'Donnell Admits She Got Married in S.F. Merely As Act of 'Defiance' Against Bush By Tim Graham Created 08/07/2010 - 08:25 Rosie O'Donnell was in the news this week when she signed to do another TV talk show on the forthcoming Oprah cable network. But she's still serving up leftist political goodies on her satellite radio show. Brian Maloney at Radio Equalizer [1] found her declaring her "wedding" ceremony in San Francisco to former girlfriend Kelli Carpenter was a political protest stunt: George Bush, in the middle of a war, had an all-station news conference to announce how horrible…

Schwarzenegger urges resumption of same-sex marriages
LOS ANGELES (AFP) California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger weighed into the same-sex marriage legal battle Friday, filing a motion demanding gays and lesbians be allowed to resume tying the knot immediately. Schwarzenegger's legal bid came as a federal judge who overturned the state's ban on same-sex marriage mulled a request by supporters of the ban to bar further homosexual weddings until the appeals process had been exhausted. "The Administration believes the public interest is best served by permitting the Court's judgement to go into effect, thereby restoring the right of same-sex couples to marry in California," Schwarzenegger's motion said. "Doing…

GOP avoids gay marriage ruling
When a federal judge in California last week ruled the states ban on gay marriage unconstitutional, several political observers braced for a flood of Republican blasts on the issue that could end up resonating in campaigns nationally. Instead, the anticipated GOP bang over the ban known as Proposition 8 amounted to little more than a whimper. There were angry columns and cries of protest from right-wing groups and conservative writers, but the majority of the Republican establishment kept on a bread-and-butter message and party leaders are encouraging them not to stray. It also was expected that Democrats, outside of…

'Scared' of Same-Sex Marriage, or Better Informed?
Robert Bentley asks Why Are Old School Conservatives Scared of Gay Marriage? Mr. Bentley established and opines regularly in the libertarian leaning blog Conservative for Change, to which I also contribute. His view is given away by the article's title. Young, open-minded libertarians should cast aside the cowardly bigotry of grumpy old logically-challenged conservatives. All American humans have a Constitutional right to marriage. Homosexuals are human. Therefore, acceptance of same-sex marriage is Constitutionally required. To say otherwise is to deny homosexuals their humanity. Simple as that, and don't worry about how much this seems to be eerily reminiscent of…

Did 35,000 Scouts Boo Obama?
The National Boy Scout Jamboree ended, Wednesday, and President Obama broke a quasi-tradition by declining to address the Scouts. The quadrennial event has been held at Fort A.P. Hill near Washington D.C. since 1981. This year's event celebrated the 100th Anniversary of the organization. In lieu of an appearance at the 10-day-long Jamboree, Obama appeared on the View, attended several Democrat fundraisers and visited Detroit. He did send a short videotaped message which reportedly was shown in a mix of several other presentations. When the president appeared he was roundly booed by the 35,000 Scouts, one man who was there…

LAFAYETTE, Ind. (WLFI) - Tonya Agnew and Amy Crampton have been together for 12 years and are raising two boys, but they say a chance to legally wed would be important for their family. That wish is closer to being granted. The couple are second in a nationwide competition that would give them a wedding in Washington D.C., where their union would be legally recognized. "We've already been to Washington D.C., but it's just time for them to get married," said Leo Crampton, the couple's youngest son. "It's just the right way to treat people." Both Agnew and Crampton said…

Editor: Nina and Anne Rice should compare notes. Homosexual Ideologues and Abortion Promoters are Not ChristiansGermany. God loves the Homosexual.
