Marco Rubio Calls 1st Gay President Barack Obama Most "Divisive" And "Destructive" Political Figure He's Ever Seen


CNN.com:
Florida Sen. Marco Rubio condemned President Barack Obama on Saturday in unusually harsh terms, calling him one the most “divisive” and “destructive” political figures the country has ever seen. 

“For all the policy disagreements that we have with our president, it is hard to understate how much he inspired people across this country four years ago,” Rubio said at a fundraising dinner for South Carolina Republicans.

The man who currently occupies the White House, he explained, “is a very different person.”

“We have not seen such a divisive figure in modern American history as we have over the last three and a half years,” Rubio said.

“They get frustrated,” he said. “They can’t win on their record. And so they have chosen to go down a different road, one that I think is destructive, counterproductive and very unfortunate.”

He accused the Obama campaign of attempting to “pit Americans against each other” by engaging in class warfare and unfairly attacking Republicans on gender issues.

“Never have we seen such an effort to divide the American people in an effort to win an election as we have today,” Rubio said.

Rubio was addressing roughly 1,200 attendees at the South Carolina Republican Party’s Silver Elephant Banquet, the state party’s largest fundraiser of the year.

The speech raised $300,000 for the party.

Michael Eric Dyson Apologizes for Using White, Liberal Tactic of Calling Anyone Who Disagrees With The Left 'Bigots'


After charlatan, race hustler, black liberal sycophant and faux-minister Michael Eric Dyson referred to conservative commentator Sophia Nelson and other black opponents of gay marriage as "sexual rednecks" and "religious bigots" the other day on far-Left network MSNBC, conservatives in general were rightfully outraged. But why should they be when most know that Dyson has served as a pawn for the immoral, white, leftist agenda for years now. Either way, the rambling fool that is Dyson still felt a need to apologize to Ms. Nelson before they went on one of the Ed Schultz show to "debate" gay marriage and pretty much defending his sad, disgusting remarks:
One week after President Obama‘s official endorsement of same-sex marriage, MSNBC played host to a debate over how the decision divides the black community into “civil rights” versus “biblical truth” camps. Last week, Georgetown professor and MSNBC contributor Michael Eric Dyson called out what he saw as “sexual rednecks” within the black church who oppose same-sex marriage, including Sophia Nelson, a writer for TheGrio. The Ed Show brought the two of them on to debate.

Dyson started out by apologizing for calling Nelson and others like CNN’s Roland Martin “sexual rednecks” for their opposition to same-sex marriage. “In a fit of passion I called out my friends, in the spirit of love, to say that hey, we can do better than this, and I shouldn’t have called their names if they weren’t here to defend themselves,” he said, and then went on to clarify his argument and admit that he “conflated two issues: the marriage equality which is very serious and a significant issue on the one hand, and the black homophobia as I perceived it within black communities. Homophobia is not something that’s endemic to black people – it’s across the globe so to speak. But in this case, black homophobia fuels, I think, the beliefs about black gay and lesbian people and whether or not they can get married.”

Nelson accepted Dyson’s apology for calling her a “sexual redneck,” but went on to say that even though she is opposed to same-sex marriage for non-”insidious” biblical reasons, “I support hate crimes legislation for people that would abuse or hurt gays and lesbians, I support civil unions, I support adoption, I support them being able to visit their loved one in the hospital. So there are people like me of faith who don’t agree with same-sex marriage for the faith reason, the biblical reason, the definition of a man and a woman being married, but I also support a lot about the agenda.”

Dyson, an ordained minister of more than 30 years, said that a literal interpretation of the Bible over same-sex marriage is the problem, since it would mean killing gays and lesbians. “I don’t think Sophia Nelson is promoting the biblical interpretation that gays and lesbian people should be killed, and if she is, she hasn’t put that forth. And if she doesn’t, then she doesn’t take the Bible literally.”

The two then got feisty when Nelson explained that she and other black churchgoers were offended to be called bigots for their faith-based views on gay marriage, with Dyson eventually explained that he used the terms “sexual rednecks” and “sexual bigots” because of a quote from Howard Thurman, who said “a bigot is a person who makes an idol of his commitment.”

“You’re throwing [the gay community] a bone by saying, ‘Look, I believe in civil unions’ and the like, but what you’re not addressing is the fact that your faith fuels the belief that to be gay is to be automatically a sinner, to be gay is to be outside of the covenant of God. And I’m arguing that that automatically disqualifies gay and lesbian, transgender and bisexual people as your equals in the faith.”

“You cannot say that our faith is causing us to be homophobic or bigoted,” Nelson responded, quoting several scriptures that she says ground her views on marriage. “Your issue’s with God, not with me.”

Narcissistic, First Gay President Barack Obama Alters History Of Past U.S. Presidents To Give Himself Shine


FOXNews.com:
The Obama White House is drawing ridicule for appending the official online biographies of nearly every president over the last century in order to link President Obama's accomplishments to the former commanders in chief. 

The Obama team went into the pages of U.S. presidents dating back to Calvin Coolidge to add friendly looking "Did you know?" fact boxes to the end of their bios. Those additions were used to plug a host of Obama administration initiatives, ranging from the health care overhaul to the so-called "Buffett Rule" to his green-energy policies. 

For instance, the following line was added to the official bio of the late President Ronald Reagan: "In a June 28, 1985, speech, Reagan called for a fairer tax code, one where a multimillionaire did not have a lower tax rate than his secretary. Today, President Obama is calling for the same with the Buffett Rule." 

The White House is coming under heavy criticism from conservatives for the changes, and not just to Reagan's page. 

Late Tuesday, the White House defended itself, claiming the staff was merely adding links to other pages. 

"No biographies have been altered," a White House official told Fox News. "We simply added links at the bottom of each page to related whitehouse.gov content, which is a commonly used best practice to encourage people to browse more pages on a site." 

The additions do include links, but they're more than that. Each one finds a way to tout an Obama administration policy or practice in the process. 

There's this at the bottom of the Franklin D. Roosevelt biography, for instance: 

"On August 14, 1935, President Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act. Today the Obama administration continues to protect seniors and ensure Social Security will be there for future generations." 

And this, at the end of President Lyndon Johnson's, drawing a link between his signing of Medicare and Obama's signing of the health care overhaul: 

"President Lyndon Johnson signed Medicare into law in 1965 -- providing millions of elderly health care stability. President Obama's historic health care reform law, the Affordable Care Act, strengthens Medicare, offers eligible seniors a range of preventive services with no cost-sharing, and provides discounts on drugs when in the coverage gap known as the 'donut hole.'" 
The sheer arrogance and audacity of this Amateur-in-Chief.

New Poll Shows Scott Walker Up 6 Points Amidst Job Gains


Wisconsin adds 33,000 jobs under Walker, which makes the libs trying to get rid of him really angry:
Republican Gov. Scott Walker released better 2011 jobs figures on Wednesday in an attempt to rebuff a central argument of those trying to recall him from office that Wisconsin's economy has suffered under his leadership.

Walker faces a rare recall election June 5 spurred mostly by anger over his successful push to strip most public workers of collective bargaining rights last year, but also by his stewardship of the state economy.
Walker swept to office on the promise to add 250,000 private sector jobs during his first four-year term, and initial figures gleaned from monthly employment surveys suggested Wisconsin actually lost 33,900 jobs last year, which would rank it last among the 50 states.
The initial figures gave Democrats and their candidate, Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, powerful ammunition with which to attack Walker's record. Then on Wednesday, the governor took the unusual step of releasing fourth-quarter data due out in the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics' June 28 national employment report that show Wisconsin added 23,300 public and private sector jobs last year.
The new numbers are a more accurate reflection of what's happening, but they still show very slow job growth for the state, said University of Wisconsin-Madison economist Andrew Reschovsky. Since they're being released early, it's impossible to tell how Wisconsin compares to other states, he said.
"The real story is the picture of anemic job growth in Wisconsin over 2011, very far from the goal that the governor set," Reschovsky said. "They tell us the economy, if it is growing, it's at a slow pace."

Most Americans Don't Really Support Gay Marriage


In other words, don't believe the hype especially when it comes from a liberal press with a clear-cut agenda:
Do a majority of Americans really support gay marriage? "Maybe not," the Washington Post admits. For years, headlines have screamed that society is open to redefining marriage. But every time the theory is put to the test, it's proven wrong. As Daniel Horowitz says, the only authentic polling data is votes at the ballot. Thirty-two times, voters have gone to the polls in some of the most liberal states in America and rejected counterfeit marriage--most recently in North Carolina, where a constitutional amendment won by 22 points. Now that President Obama has literally made a federal case out of marriage, the reaction is even more severe.
Although the polling has been manipulated for years, even some media elites are conceding that the support for same-sex "marriage" just isn't there. Yesterday's CBS/New York Times survey showed that only 38% of Americans agree with the President's position. An ABC News/Washington Post poll backed up the trend, pointing out that 47% responded unfavorably and 46% responded favorably. But, analysts say, the real story is in the intensity gap. According to the Post, those numbers include " a 10-point tilt toward 'strongly' negative (38%) rather than strongly positive (28%) views." Independent voters were especially opposed, with most leaning toward a strongly negative reaction.

How have liberals managed to inflate the numbers for so long? "For the most part," the Post says, "the polling out there is combining the civil union and gay marriage responses together to get their 'majority' supporting gay marriage. There's a reason why the same-sex marriage ban passed in 32 states..." And those amendments (and a people's veto) haven't just passed--they've had overwhelming support. Republicans should be tripping over themselves to champion marriage. Instead, they're racing to change the subject on an issue that won an average of 67% of the vote in a supermajority of states. No wonder voters are annoyed. Ignoring marriage isn't just spineless--it's politically naive. Americans care about the economy and marriage. Surely, the GOP has enough time to fight for both.

CNN’s Ashleigh Banfield Tears Into Obama Campaign Spokesperson Over Bain Ad

Mediaite.com:
Obama For America Campaign National Press Sec. Ben LaBolt squared off with CNN anchor Ashleigh Banfield on Tuesday in a contentious interview. Banfield took LaBolt to task over several assertions made in the most recent ad that focuses on Mitt Romney’s tenure at Bain and a factory which had its assets sold off and its workers laid off in the early 2000s. What follows was a heated session in which Banfield seemed troubled that she could not get LaBolt to admit the Obama campaign stretched the facts in this latest ad.

The interview turned contentious almost immediately, as Banfield took LaBolt on over the ads numerous assertions that were determined to be less-than-factual. 

“Mitt Romney has asked us to judge his tenure as a corporate buyout specialist – he’s listed that as his lead qualification for the presidency,” said LaBolt. “We’re not questioning the private equity industry as a whole, we’re questioning Mitt Romney’s economic philosophy. Is that the type of economic philosophy you’d like to see in the Oval Office where Mitt Romney and the wealthiest few profit at the expense of the middle class.” 

Banfield cited the Washington Post’s fact checker which gave the ad one out of four “Pinocchio.” She said that the paper was considering giving the Obama team’s ad “two pinnochios.”

Liberal Journalist Charles Pierce Attacks Parochial School for Forfeiting Baseball Game Rather Than Play Team with Female Player


Newsbusters.org:
Do liberal journalists who cover sports have nothing better to do than bully religiously conservative Christian athletes? Last year it was ESPN's Rick Reilly mocking evangelical teenage wrestler Joel Northrup. The latest to line up to smack around Christian athletes who act on conscience is Esquire's Charles Pierce, formerly of the Boston Globe, Pierce also contributes to ESPN's Grantland.com blog.

In his May 15 Grantland post, "And a Girl Shall Terrify Them," Pierce used news that a religious school from Phoenix, Arizona had forfeited a championship baseball game rather than play against a team which was fielding a female player. Pierce, who also appears frequently on taxpayer-backed National Public Radio, decided to weigh in with his condemnation. "The Gospels are not your alibi," Pierce huffed, directing his wrath at the Society of Pope Pius X, which runs the Our Lady of Sorrows Academy in Phoenix

Here is Our Lady of Sorrows's official excuse for not playing in the championship game.
"Teaching our boys to treat ladies with deference, we choose not to place them in an athletic competition where proper boundaries can only be respected with difficulty," the statement read. "Our school aims to instill in our boys a profound respect for women and girls."
Predictably, Pierce scoffed at the objection, making such snide remarks as that the Society "apparently thinks infield practice qualifies as foreplay" and that they "dragged Jesus in as an accessory before the fact."
But what Pierce conveniently left out of his blog was an item also included in the Our Lady of Sorrows Academy press release, namely that their "decision [to forfeit] is pursuant to school policy which rules out participation in co-ed sports" [emphasis mine]. So the Academy, as a matter of policy, doesn't form co-ed sports teams, nor compete in co-ed contests.

Since high school softball is traditionally the girls' alternative to baseball, it stands to reason Our Lady of Sorrows assumed games played under the aegis of the Arizona Charter Athletic Association (AZCAA) would be boys-only and not permissibly co-ed.

But why actually explore that question when you're too busy bashing folks who are trying to stay true to their interpretation of the Christian faith (emphasis mine):
Completely by accident, Paige and her teammates had found themselves caught in a dark, dank corner of reactionary Christianity, which admits no light, no warmth, only the cold, dead past, and which stinks of prejudice, decaying dogma, and the worst social offal of the 20th century. There's not a lick of Catholic doctrine that would forbid men and women from playing baseball against each other. There is nothing in the Gospels that would remotely touch upon the situation, and not even St. Paul, that censorious old blatherskite, said anything that can be stretched plausibly to forbid it, and people have been known to use Paul's Epistles like taffy to marshal their arguments.
Oh, and one more thing: You may notice that Pierce ignorantly insisted that the Academy was a "Catholic charter school from Phoenix," when in fact the Society of Pope Pius X remains an "illegitimate" movement that lacks "canonical status" within the Roman Catholic Church.

In other words, Pierce wasted all that time blasting as out-of-touch and uber-reactionary a Catholic movement that is, well, not truly and authentically Catholic. That means the entire column -- penned by the author of "Idiot America: How Stupidity Became a Virtue in the Land of the Free"-- was an exercise of ignorance, if not outright intellectual dishonesty.

Ellen Degeneres "Inspires" Soap Actress Joanna Johnson To Be A Lesbian


Sexually speaking there is nothing a woman can do for a woman that a man can't. Nothing. But putting aside one of the faux-facade's used by morally-bankrupt, alternative lifestyle-choosing homosexuals to excuse their amoral behavior, God made our bodies the way he did for many reasons including procreation. And the body is as much a temple of God as is the mind and spirit. That said, in a world that grows more and more perverse by the minute, the mere presence, acceptance and popularity of the world's most pwerful gay advocate, Ellen Degeneres, continues to do wonders on women who already live life without a moral compass:
“The Bold and the Beautiful” actress Joanna Johnson has come out of the closet.

The 50-year-old Johnson, who was first introduced to viewers as Caroline Spencer on the CBS soap in 1987 before going on to play Caroline’s twin sister Karen, told TV Guide that she is married to a female club promoter and has two adopted children.

Johnson said she was reluctant to reveal her sexuality in the past. “I was so worried I wouldn’t be employable as an actress if people knew I was a lesbian,” she said, “or that I wouldn’t be believable in romance stories. I had to deal with a lot of self-loathing.”

Johnson said she realized she was gay in her early twenties, but she didn’t have celebrity role models like Ellen DeGeneres to look up to. She said, “I guess it’s my turn to do my little part. It’s time to live a fully authentic life.”

Johnson’s “Bold and the Beautiful” character is currently involved in a lesbian relationship. She took a break from the show to work on the ABC sitcom “Hope & Faith” and returned to the soap in 2009.

Jeremiah Wright Claims Obama Campaign Bribed Him To Keep Quiet


The truth comes out....almost 4 years after "the 1st gay president" got elected:
News broke Monday of Reverend Jeremiah Wright claiming he was offered a $150,000 bribe by the Obama campaign in 2008 to keep quiet. 

Wright discussed the alleged bribe in an interview with Edward Klein, the author of an unauthorized biography on Barack Obama, "The Amateur."

Wright is widely known as the Obama's former pastor in Chicago who used foul language and cursed America during his Sunday sermons. Videos of the sermons surfaced during the Iowa primaries, almost costing Obama the Democratic presidential nomination in 2008. 

One of Wright's most incriminating sermons to surface during the 2008 campaign was one in which Wright said the 9/11 attacks were "America's chickens coming home to roost."

Obama was forced to publicly renounce the sermons. However, Wright is saying there was more to the story. 

In an interview with Klein relayed by the New York Post, Wright said Obama arranged a meeting with him and said, "I really wish you wouldn't do any more public speaking until after the November election....I wish you wouldn't speak. It's gonna hurt the campaign if you do that."

Wright claimed one of the church members was instructed to give him an email from "one of Obama's closest friends" offering $150,000 in hush money.

Jeremiah Wright is the retired pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, Illinois. There has been no official response given by the Obama re-election campaign.

Majority of New Yorkers Now View Occupy Wall Street Unfavorably


While the Tea Party continues to get smeared by liberals, even those with "no evidence" to back their wild claims up, the uber-violent Occupy Wall Street, a hypocritical movement without any real cause or leadership, is finally being seen for what it really is by people in its own backyard:
According to the poll, both the Tea Party and Occupy Wall Street are viewed unfavorably by the majority of New Yorkers. The Tea Party’s numbers rose a bit this month with 30 percent of voters viewing the movement favorably compared to 28 percent in November and 58 percent viewing it unfavorably compared to 60 percent in November. Occupy Wall Street favorable rating dropped from 45 percent in November to 38 percent. The unfavorable rating for Occupy Wall Street climbed from 44 percent in November to 52 percent.

“People have come up to me, are saying they don’t support this, they don’t like this. They are disappointed with the President, and they plan to stay home.”

Newsweek Calls Obama "The First Gay President"


HotAir.com:
Are you kidding me? I get that Andrew Sullivan is a man with an agenda and I completely support his right to make his opinions heard. I also understand that Newsweek – like any other publication – is in business to make a profit and that frequently involves pushing the envelope in terms of catching the public’s attention. But at what point is too much simply too much? When is the shark definitively jumped and the daily bread burned past any reasonable definition of being toast? Ladies and gentlemen, this would be that point.

Politico “explains.”
“‘Let the games begin,” Tina Brown said last week after Time Magazine released its controversial breastfeeding cover.
Brown, whose tenure as editor at Newsweek has seen an array of controversial covers, will respond with the above, pegged to Andrew Sullivan’s piece on Obama’s support for same-sex marriage: “The First Gay President.”
The poster that comes from this is going to sell millions. Take that to the bank.

I’m not such a political neophyte as to suggest that this is unique in politics, but the bold faced, brazen machinations and ham handed plotting which have characterized this “evolution” in the President’s position on the subject at hand are rather breathtaking. And I’m not saying that people don’t actually “evolve” in their positions, beliefs or ideology. I know that my own attitudes and beliefs in my twenties were a far cry – in some instances at least – from where I stand in my fifties. Very few of us spring out of the halls of high school fully formed with all of the opinions we’ll hold until the grave.

But these evolutions generally take place over a long period of time, as exposure to new people and different ideas are examined and experimented with. Some are kept, others are rejected. Barack Obama, on the other hand, has gone in the course of less than a decade from full throated support of gay marriage to full opposition on religious grounds, back to full support. Are we really supposed to be buying this?

Apparently Mr. Sullivan thinks so. And Newsweek is more than happy to jump on board with a cover which will probably go down as one of the most ridiculed and satirized efforts in the history of magazine publication. (But I wouldn’t mind a piece of the sales from the poster, though.) Yeesh.

Sen. Rand Paul: ‘I Didn’t Think [Obama's] Views On Marriage Could Get Any Gayer’



Mediaite.com:
Senator Rand Paul spoke this weekend at the Faith and Freedom Coalition meeting in Iowa, and in the middle of his speech he got around to President Obama making news this week on gay marriage. Despite Paul’s libertarian views, he does not support gay marriage, but he does favor letting the states decide (which is essentially Obama’s position too). Paul noted Obama’s explanation that his views on the issue have been evolving for some time, and remarked, “Call me cynical, but I wasn’t sure his views on marriage could get any gayer.”


Paul also hit Obama for suggesting his pro-gay marriage position is consistent with the words of the Bible, to which the senator asked which version of the book the president has been reading all these years. Paul did make it clear he doesn’t want to be “preaching hateful dogma” against anyone, but he insisted taking a principled stance against gay marriage is part of keeping with solid Christian traditions that range back over 6000 years.
