Big Week for LGBT

You Tube - NewsPoliticsNews

This week marks the 40th anniversary of Stonewall, considered the beginning of the gay rights movement. President Obama is set to meet with gay leaders (and all the anger they’ll bring with them over his failed promises regarding repeal of “don’t ask, don’t tell” and the Defense of Marriage Act) to commemorate the event. Check out this interview with Jarrett Barrios, the president of GLAAD.

What’s the matter folks? Did you actually BELIEVE the politician when he made campaign promises??? That’s the same level of intelligence that helped W win twice! Good job, fellow Dems, in letting Hillary go. You’re right. She wasn’t genuine at all. Obama was the ONLY honest candidate (chuckle, chuckle, chuckle). [This has been another lesson in American politics.]

If Barrios is correct that 70% of Americans support equality for GLBT people under the laws and statutes of the USA and the 50 States, THEN WHAT’S THE PROBLEM?

If 70% of Americans wanted anything else IT WOULD BE DONE.

Who or what has the authority/ability to deny the wishes of 70% of the people?

Obama is slowly mutating from messiah to anti-christ.
Socialism will have to wait. Won’t be long and armageddon will be upon us to trump everything else.
