The End Of Gay Activism?

I

n Salon today, Thomas Rogers, a gay man who came of age in the 1990s, talks of his expectations as a gay: Dancing shirtless in a crowded dance hall, “a disconcerting number” of overly-flashy shirts, and of course, drag queens.

It’s odd to think of such a cultural emergence and one is tempted to feel sorry for Rogers for having such a sorry, sex-driven existence. But actually his coming of age wasn’t all that different from mine. As an 18 year old, I thought a lot about the important thing ahead of me: dances crowded with attractive women, all of whom would leave their blouses on (sigh!). I came to realize that some of my peers would not take to the freedom to dress themselves as well as others, and that there’d always be a guy with his shirt unbuttoned to his navel and a gal dressed like a street-walker.

Rogers gets to the meat gist of his story:

But something funny happened on my way to the gay ghetto: The drag queen disappeared not only from mainstream popular culture, but also, to a large extent, from the gay culture of my generation. Most young gay men I know are far more likely to head to a gay-friendly straight bar than take in a drag show, and while drag queens remain a fixture in many bars and clubs, especially those catering to older gay men, those venues appear to be dwindling.

Nearly all of New York’s mammoth gay dance clubs have shut their doors since the ’80s, and demographics suggest that gay men are increasingly leaving behind gay neighborhoods, like the Castro in San Francisco. Half of Boston’s gay bars closed between 1993 and 2007. New York’s Wigstock and San Francisco’s Trannyshack, the two best-known drag revues in the country, have ended their runs.

Should we lament the passing of the drag queens? Those who love campiness can if they wish, but campy or not, they are symbols of skewed sexuality, promiscuity and corrupted morals, so society will not suffer their demise. But …

The drag queens are disappearing because of the mainstreaming of homosexuality in our culture.  As Rogers says, the demographics show the gays leaving their protected enclaves and moving into the lofts or suburbs of their choice, without fear of how straight society will react. Yet the language of “homophobia” continues, as we saw in California where gays accused people who don’t care if their insurance broker, hairdresser or neighbor is gay were accused of homophobia merely because they stood up for the institution of marriage.

Activist gays who have made their living off of the gay rights movement and their diehard supporters are in the same boat as the false prophets of black victimhood who are confronted with a popularly elected black presidential non-victim.  They see favorable portrayals of gays on television, gays living together comfortably in suburbs and cities, a lack of discrimination in jobs and benefits, no need any more for drag queens, yet they fail to accept their victory and fight for what’s already won.

The headline says “the end of gay activism” with a question mark.  I don’t think it is, even though it appears to be moving toward an end. Gay activists will continue to perceive persecution, try to force their sexuality into our school curricula, and pursue the unholy gay grail of holy matrimony.  But like black victimization activists, they will become more marginalized over time.

Traditionalists have reasons to be uncomfortable with the mainstreaming of gay culture.  We fear moral breakdown, worry about too much sexuality being forced too early on our kids, and abhor judicial activism and the legislating of issues that offend our morality.

Morality means a lot to traditionalists, much more than it does to those who flaunt immorality, and because of the disgusting exhibitionism that goes on with gay pride parades, we fear immorality will spread virus-like into our families. The sooner we can get rid of these worries, the better – and no matter where we are on the morality-meter, we know that repression and legislation won’t make gays go away.

But we traditionalists also have reason to be comfortable with gay mainstreaming.  A gay couple in a committed, long-term relationship is less threatening to us than a couple leather-clad gays having sex in stall next to ours.  A gay doing well in his job even as his bosses are aware of his sexual preferences is less threat than one hiding his sexuality and seething with anger.  If it’s “love the sinner, hate the sin” we profess, then we should be happy that the sinners aren’t suffering.  Persecution harden walls, driving people to activism and anger; acceptance and success bring them to a complacent acceptance of society as it is.

This all started with a couple quick thoughts on Rogers’ story of drag queens, and as you can see it became complex, troubled, even contradictory.  Such is the fate of deep moral issues.  It’s much easier to just float through life without asking tough questions – to hate or accept without much thought.  Thank God that’s not my life; it’s the pondering and probing that makes life worth living.

Sloppy AP Reporting Targets Gays For Church Fire

L

et’s put the shoe – OMG! What a cute, cute shoe! – on the other foot, shall we?  If Rev. Wright’s church was burned in a probable arson and AP arbitrarily jammed in a paragraph about some conference held there that was particularly irritating to white conservatives, implying we were the fire-setters, wouldn’t we holler?

So there’s no reason to be surprised when the gay community took offense at this passage in the AP coverage of the disastrous fire at Sarah Palin’s former church in Wasilla:

The 1,000-member evangelical church was the subject of intense scrutiny after Palin was named John McCain’s running mate. Early in Palin’s campaign, the church was criticized for promoting in a Sunday bulletin a Focus on the Family “Love Won Out Conference” in Anchorage. The conference promised to “help men and women dissatisfied with living homosexually understand that same-sex attractions can be overcome.”

Why indeed should AP tag gays, lesbians, transgenders, transsexuals, bisexuals, trisexuals, gender-confused, queens, trixes and any others I apologize to for leaving out for the fire?  It’s just as likely to have been a riled up abortion hawk, a violent pacifist, a coven of witches, a wardrobe-jealous recessionista, William Ayres or any number of people far more off the deep end than your run-of-the-mill gay.

Heck, maybe Karl Rove set it just to get people mad at the far left kooks – did you think about that, AP?

Gay Bigots’ Harassment Drives Film Exec From Job

B

igotry, hatred and intolerance from the gay marriage set has finally hounded Los Angeles Film Festival director Richard Raddon from his job. Raddon, a Mormon, had expressed his first amendment freedom of speech to support Prop 8, California’s gay marriage ban proposition, through activism and financial contributions.

Gay marriage bigots, who demand tolerance from us, showed Raddon no tolerance:

After Raddon’s contribution [of $1,500 to Prop 8] was made public online, Film Independent was swamped with criticism from “No on 8″ supporters both inside and outside the organization. Within days, Raddon offered to step down as festival director, but the board, which includes Don Cheadle, Forest Whitaker, Lionsgate President Tom Ortenberg and Fox Searchlight President Peter Rice, gave him a unanimous vote of confidence.

Yet, the anti-Raddon bile continued to bubble in the blogosphere, and according to one Film Independent board member, “No on 8″ supporters also berated Raddon personally via phone calls and e-mails. The recriminations ultimately proved too much, and when Raddon offered to resign again, this time the board accepted. (LA Times)

Raddon had taken the extraordinary step of actually apologizing for his actions, which are thoroughly legitimate and aligned with the opinion of a strong majority of California’s voting citizens. The apology should come from the gay bigots who are utterly, thoroughly, repulsively intolerant. Someone should bitch-slap every last one of them for the hate crime of the economic lynching of a straight man.

Gays Not Giving Up On Prop 8 – But They Should

T

he most e-mailed article in today’s LA Times concerns a lousy bit of governance from California’s increasingly lousy governor:  Schwarzenegger tells backers of gay marriage: Don’t give up.  Putting his faith in the courts, not the people, Schwarzenegger told CNN:

“It’s unfortunate, obviously, but it’s not the end. I think that we will again maybe undo that, if the court is willing to do that, and then move forward from there and again lead in that area. …

“I learned that you should never ever give up. . . . They should never give up. They should be on it and on it until they get it done.”

Couldn’t the same be said of those of us who feel marriage needs to be protected from the onslaught of the gay agendists, that its 8,000-year history of securing the proper relationship between a man and a woman must not be nonchalantly disposed of in the name of a “feel good” whim?

Schwarzenegger’s comment will fuel a protest that’s smoldering throughout the state.  Jon Fleishman’s Flash Report today links to these stories:

  • SF Chronicle: Gay-Marriage Backers Form Huge Protests
  • Sacramento Bee: Thousands at Capitol rally back continuing fight against Prop. 8
  • Oakland Tribune: Anti-Prop 8 demonstrators protest near Oakland Mormon temple
  • San Jose Mercury: Proposition 8: Historic turning point, or just another battle in the culture wars?
  • Stockton Record: Prop. 8 protests continue
  • Modesto Bee: Anti-Prop. 8 protests hit Sacramento to Pasadena
  • Ventura Star: Proposition 8 opponents protest outside church
  • LA Daily News: More protests over Prop. 8 gay-marriage ban
  • OC Register: Prop. 8 protests continue in O.C.
  • San Diego Union-Tribune: Prop. 8 protesters target Mormon temple
  • San Diego Union-Tribune: Gay marriage’s supporters rally across the state

What kind of governor urges continued civil disobedience after the people of his state – the “civil” they’re being disobedient to – have spoken overwhelmingly twice?

Gay marriage supporters’ record is worse than 0-20.  Twenty states have passed propositions limiting marriage to the union between a man and a woman; some, like California, have done so more than once.  Isn’t this sign enough to gays that they are damaging their chances with other political initiatives of importance to them by banging their heads against this wall?

Schwarzenegger would have been much wiser to encourage the gay community to revisit its priorities in light of Prop 8′s defeat.  If they want equal rights, and they should, they should forgo the marriage battle, which isn’t about rights but appearances, and pursue equitableness on the supposed (mythical?) 100 “rights” not extended to gays.  (I’ve asked commenters for this list, but none has provided it, so I think the list may well be hype. Almost certainly, it includes many privileges, like the privilege to adopt, which are not rights.)

Gays could sit down tomorrow with most conservative religious leaders and co-author a proposition that, exclusive of marriage, would protect gays from all sorts of slights and inequalities that are mostly the result of long-existing statutory language, not deliberate discrimination.  And the people of California would overwhelmingly pass such a proposition.  I would vote for it in a heartbeat, even though I voted for Prop 8.

Is there any rationality in the gay community, or have emotions overcome them, so that will they continue to fight, like Serbs against  Croats and Hutus against Tutsis?  There’s a better alternative, and Schwarzenegger should be supporting it, not a encouraging further gay rebellion against the will of the people.

Another Gay Activist Teacher Outrage

M

y blog-friend and designer of the new C-SM look Dale (Okie on the Lam) forwarded this video to me, which he produced for a big Prop 8 sponsor:

There is no reason to bring this sort of LGBT sexuality into the kindergarten classroom; it just shows the extremism of LGBT activists, and their unwillingness to conform with long-established societal norms – not about their sexuality, but about the inappropriateness of forcing sex onto children, whether physically, socially or emotionally.

The people who want kindergarteners to deal with “LGBT” are the same people who are behind the fight to defeat Prop 8.  Which side do you want to be on?

Obama’s Big Three-Year Ayres Lie

S

o we know Obama and Ayres worked together and knew each other, yet Obama continues to slither away from big negatives from the association. In fact, if we’re to believe the MSM, the Obama/Ayres meme may actually have hurt McCain among some voters who merely see it as “negative campaigning” – or who may actually like the idea of having a president who likes hanging out with terrorists.

But there are two ways to tell this story that McCain hasn’t pursued. One he’s had a long time to develop – that Obama and Ayres share a radical approach to education that should raise fears with any parent. And two, a story that’s still developing, the depth of lying Obama has foisted in order to minimize his friendship with the unrepentant domestic terrorist.

The lying meme got a big boost recently from Verum Serum, which tracked down documentation that the two shared an office for three years – a level of familiarity far beyond Obama’s “guy in the neighborhood” lie.

Bill Ayers and Barack Obama shared an office. Ayers’ Small Schools Workshop, the one Obama directed all that money to is located at 115 S. Sangamon Street, Chicago, Illinois 60607 [Note the link is to a year 2000 version of their website]. Here’s a screen grab from the website’s footer:

In 1998, the address for the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, where Obama presumably worked, was 115 S. Sangamon Street, Chicago, Illinois 60607. Here’s a copy of their 1998 tax return with that address:

The CAC moved to a new address sometime in 1999 or 2000, but the shared office probably persisted for at least three years. I can’t say for sure because 1998 is the earliest tax information available online. [Correction: I can say for sure that they shared the same building for the years 1995-1998. Here is a 1995 progress report from the CAC with the same address.] …

I’m going to suggest that two guys working in the same building for a period of years probably crossed paths pretty often. For all we know, they had lunch together on a daily basis. Maybe, in an effort at conservation, they were even carpool buddies. After all, Ayers is a guy from Obama’s neighborhood.

The message here is simple and devastating: You just can’t trust what comes out of Obama’s mouth.

MSM Still Blowing Off Edwards Love Child Story

I

just ran a Nexis search of newspapers and newswires over the last week for “John AND Edwards AND Enquirer” and it’s obvious that the MSM are not the least bit interested in reporting on John Edwards’ affair while his wife fights cancer.

Here’s the Nexis tally for Edwards: Six stories total, appearing in the Miami Herald, SF Wrongicle, Boston Herald, The Columbian in Wash. state, the Kansas City Star and the Philly Daily News. No major papers at all, no newswires. This after the story has now been verified by Fox News.

Meanwhile, the foreign press is doing the job journalists are supposed to do. Here’s the stodgy London Sunday Times:

Sleaze scuppers Democrat golden boy

Gotcha: Senator John Edwards, whose wife has cancer, has been caught in a sex scandal that ends his vice-presidential hopes

SCRATCH John Edwards off the list of potential vice-presidential candidates. The former White House contender, who had been hoping to get the nod from Barack Obama, is in the midst of a full-blown sex scandal.

Every supermarket shopper knows that the preternaturally youthful former senator for North Carolina may have fathered a love child with a film-maker while Elizabeth, his saintly wife, is dying of cancer. There are sensational new details on the National Enquirer website, although most of the media have done their best to ignore them.

The tabloid magazine cornered Edwards, 55, leaving a Los Angeles hotel where Rielle Hunter, his alleged mistress, and her baby were staying, at 2.40am last Tuesday. He ran down a hallway and dived into the men’s bathroom. A hotel security guard confirmed the encounter. “His face just went totally white,” the guard said.

The story has been bubbling away for months, but so far there has been not a word about it in the mainstream newspapers, even though Edwards was John Kerry’s running mate in 2004 and has been tipped for a prominent job in an Obama administration – if not vice-president, then attorney-general or antipoverty tsar. (Read more here)

See, it’s not that hard to report this story … if you’re not an American newspaper in the pocket of the DNC.

Foreign Aid

A lot of my friends oppose foreign aid, and there are plenty of reasons to feel that way. Not resonate with me, however, is the complaint that we should spend it here instead of there; God knows we spend too much here on swollen entitlement programs as it is, and we have so much plenty that we can afford to give some there.

So I just want to register my sense of pride as President Bush tours Africa to create political support for his President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief funding request of $30 billion. The Dems don’t like the requirement that a third be spent on abstinence education and are threatening to hold up the funds.

Why? What harm would a bit more abstinence to for Africa? What complaints are there that there aren’t enough condoms and medications in the $30 billion? And in this aid there is a lesson in Democracy and good governance that Africa desperately needs. As Bush told a crowd in Tanzania:

“I’ll just put it bluntly, America doesn’t want to spend money on people who steal the money from the people. We like dealing with honest people, and compassionate people. We want our money to go to help human condition and to lift human lives as well as fighting corruption in marketplace economies.” (AP)

China is spending billions to woo Africa, but they’re not showing compassion at this fundamental level that turns human hearts. Bush’s proposal is for money that would be well spent, strategically and compassionately.

Friends Of Barack

The new FOB’s — socialists? Steve Bartin at Newsalert conjures up this passage, from pages 100-101 of Obama’s Dreams of My Father:

To avoid being mistaken for a sellout,I chose my friends carefully.The more politically active black students.The foreign students.The Chicanos.The Marxist Professors and the structural feminists and punk-rock performance poets.We smoked cigarettes and wore leather jackets.At night,in the dorms,we discussed neocolonialism,Franz Fanon,Eurocentrism,and patriarchy.When we ground out our cigarettes in the hallway carpet or set our stereos so loud that the walls began to shake,we were resisting bourgeois society’s stifling constraints.We weren’t indifferent or careless or insecure.We were alienated.

Funny, I don’t hear “bourgeois” very often in his speeches nowadays.

San Diego Tax Dollars At Work

If you saw city fire fighters on a city fire truck in a gay pride parade, would it ever cross your mind that they were straight, on-duty and required by the city to ride in the parade to represent the city’s position, not theirs?

It’s true. In San Diego, a group of straight fire fighters is suing the city under sexual harassment laws for requiring them to ride in a Gay Pride parade. San Diego Union Trib columnist Gerry Braun writes,

I’ve read a few sexual-harassment suits in my time, and I find this one credible. The remarks directed at the firefighters – “You’re making me hot!” “You can put out my fire!” “Show me your fire hose!” “I can’t breathe, give me mouth to mouth!” “Pull out your hose!” – have been confirmed even by their critics.

How is the gay community, concerned as they are that we all be tolerant, responding to the lawsuit? If you guessed intolerantly, you’d be right. Braun:

An editorial in the Gay & Lesbian Times called the firefighters “sissies” and “wimps” before laying it on thick: “As far as we can tell, you are weak-wristed, unstable, unsuited, incapable little mama’s boys.”

Caution: If you think that makes it OK to call a gay a sissy, wimp, weak-wristed or a mama’s boy … prepare to be sued.

Movie Break

Just watched a movie with Incredible Wife … Saving Sarah Cain. It was a bit Lifetime-ish, but still a nice turn on the Amish in the city story, made by Michael Landon Jr. and other people with deep faith.

Red Hot And Green

Myself, I don’t even want to know, but in case you’re losing … er, sleep … over whether your sexual activity is appropriately green, you’ll find ways to green-up your red hot sessions here. Here’s an excerpt:

Sure, you love that hot-pink plastic [sex toy], but have you ever thought about what is in it? That item you’re hiding in the nightstand might contain phthalates, a chemical used to soften rigid plastics. Though nobody knows for certain if phthalates are harmful to human health, studies have linkedblah, blah blah.

Greenies … they can take the fun out of anything.

Extreme Bad Taste Case OK’d

Close to home, some good news: A judge is allowing the family of Nikki Catsouras to move forward with their lawsuit against a California Highway Patrol dispatcher who made gory photos from Nikki’s fatal car crash public.

Attorneys for CHP dispatch supervisor Thomas O’Donnell, accused of releasing the photos, argued that it was his first amendment right to release the photos. As if.

What happened to the Catsouras family is a case of the worst sort of bad taste that grows out of the anonymity of the Internet, as photos of their beloved daughter’s and sister’s decapitated body appeared on numerous Web sites with insulting comments.

The Catsouras family has been able to shame many of the sites into removing the photos, but their only possible legal action is against O’Donnell for his scummy (alleged) action of releasing the photos.

One Web site I won’t link to that includes links to the photos also includes a reader poll with these results:

Do the parents deserve to win their lawsuit? Yes, 57%, no 43%.

Should Web sites be allowed to show the graphic photos of Nikki Catsouras? Yes, 33%, no 32%

Obviously, people who visit these sites are a schitzy bunch: Rooting for the parents, while a significant amount of them root against them, too.

A Big ‘Heh!’ On Biofuels

What’s wrong with me? Why do I get such glee from environmentalism gone bad? Especially when environmentalism and Congressional eagerness to score greenie points — and get votes — coincide?

With corn and soy prices both at or near record highs, the article tries to handicap which crop farmers will plant more of in the coming growing season. Impossible to tell, it concludes. Nevertheless:

Fertilizer producers benefit either way. Corn demands more fertilizer than soy or wheat. But price competition among the grains, stoked largely by federal supports for ethanol production, has bled generously into fertilizer markets.

That’s boilerplate. Anyone who’s checked out the stock chart of Mosaic — the fertilizer giant, two-thirds owned by agribiz behemoth Cargill, recently profiled here — knows that the fertilizer industry has been essentially printing money. (source)

Fertilizer, of course, is hated by the greens … it’s a chemical, for cryin’ out loud, and its production produces gasp! greenhouse gases!

And every gallon of biofuels produced drives up fertilizer sales.

If anyone who says there are easy solutions to global warming that won’t wreck our economy and negatively impact our health and well-being, their heads are full of greenhouse gases.

Transgender Wars

Last weekend, I put up an “Our Crumbling Civilization” post about a second-grade boy who wants to go to school as a girl, and a school system that was allowing it.

Perhaps you read it and nodded in agreement. Not everyone did. You might want to revisit the post and check out the comments that are coming in from the transgender community. Stuff like:

  • “it is so sad that people are so close minded. You people who have the nerve to call a child “perverse” or label TSism as a “perversion” really need to wake up. If you spent just one day in their shoes I seriously doubt that you would be spreading hate speech and outright lies.”

  • “My current nine-year old doesn’t seem to have a problem with his mother who has been transitioning/ed since he was five. He has been told age-appropriate and understandable facts about what has gone on. He seems perfectly well-adjusted, shows no signs of ever wishing to ‘be a girl’ or any of the difficulties you seem to think he might have from such a ‘traumatic’ experience as having his ‘father’ be who she actually is.”
  • “Tolerance has replaced not ‘sanity’, however you define that, but cruelty. … Between one in 500 and one in 2000 Americans seek to change their genders.”
  • “i am married, transgendered and have two kids, one boy and one girl. it is quite offensive that people call this perversion. i suppose it would be more liberating that a girl would want to be a boy? no one would find that strange because she wants to be masculine. my daughter and son both seem to be masculine and feminine. my daughter rips holes in the knees of her pretty jeans and my son screams at mom putting on makeup. if they grow out of it-fine-if they don’t-fine.”

The comments are thought-provoking to say the least, and I encourage you to give them a look.

They haven’t changed my view one iota in this case, which to me is all about the kids in the classroom, not the kid who wants to dress as a girl.

I don’t think that as second graders they should have to deal with this, and the school district should have required the boy and his parents to go through several years of therapy, allowing him time to consider his desires and the consequences of his choices from a more mature perspective, and time for the kids in the class to mature before being asked to deal with issues like transgenderism.

Our Crumbling Civilization: Girly Boy Edition

I knew we were in for cultural melt-down when a news article out of Denver started with this:

The issue of being transgender usually pops up with students in high school.

It does? Not in the America I grew up in! But bad as it is, the lead sentence is just a set-up for a civilization-crumbler of much greater magnitude:

However, a 2nd grade biological boy wants to dress as a girl and be addressed with a girl’s name.

“Biological boy?” It’s come to that? We can’t just say “boy?”

Of course, you know that concerned educators immediately realized there’s something amiss with the boy and his family (can you say “dominant mother/wimpy father?”), and immediately arranged counseling for all of them. Not.

“As a public school system, our calling is to educate all kids no matter where they come from, what their background is, beliefs, values, it doesn’t matter,” said Whei Wong, Douglas County Schools spokesperson.

What a calling! Don’t think, don’t care, just educate.

Hey, Wongster! I want to enroll my little boy in your school, and you should know he thinks he’s Pol Pot. I expect you to accommodate his values, which are manifested in a desire to murder his classmates and impose a repressive government. The teacher? Enemy of the State. Summary execution!

I’m too cruel. Wong and the school system are very concerned about the other kids, too … concerned that they need to be taught to accept this perversion.

Wong says the staff at one of Douglas County’s schools is preparing to accommodate the student and answer questions other students might have. …

Wong says teachers are planning to address the student by name instead of using he or she. The child will not use the regular boys or girls bathroom. Instead, two unisex bathrooms in the building will be made available. The school is handing out packets to parents who have questions. The packets contain information about people who are transgender.

Gone from all the school system’s accommodation is any concern for other kids and other parents; there’s no question in the District’s mind — everyone else needs to be exposed to this perversion, because the rights of the perverted come before the rights of those who support normalcy.

Do other parents, other kids have any rights in this situation? Should we worry, given that this must be an exception? You bet we should worry:

Kim Pearson says the family is getting support. She is the executive director of a national organization called TransYouth Family Advocates. The group has been working with the family and Douglas County Schools.

“Initially there was a lot of resistance,” said Pearson. “Now, their position is they want this child to be safe in their school.”

Pearson says their group is working with an increasing number of families nationwide who have elementary age transgender kids. …

Pearson says children as young as 5 years old are realizing their true gender identity and her group wants to help parents who may be resisting the acceptance of this.

Why do you suppose there are more and more elementary school kids who are apparently transgender? Could it be that sex has permeated society? That tolerance has replaced sanity? In a sane society, this boy would be receiving therapy that would lead him back to the mainstream rather than drive him headlong into a life that will be difficult.

In a tolerant society, however, he is encouraged to leave the mainstream — and we are forced to nod our heads giving him acceptance instead of help, and stand approving as other kids are exposed to him as mainstream, furthering the watering down of that once meaningful term.

Most parents are much more sensible than the administrators:

“I don’t think a (2nd) grader does have the rationale to decide this life-altering choice,” said Dave M.

He is also unhappy with the way the school is handling this. The district has been preparing for the child’s return to this school for months. Dave M. thinks other parents should have been made aware of this sooner.

“I just find it ironic that they can dictate the dress style of children to make sure they don’t wear inappropriate clothing, but they have no controls in place for someone wearing transgender clothing,” said Dave M.

Oh, please, David! Get with the program. Your daughter needs to be sacrificed on the altar of tolerance, and if she starts dressing butch, you should happily go along with it.

With Obama winning the presidency by seven percent, we can't blame the media. Their laudatory coverage and refusal to extensively probe into Obama's background and [lack of] experience was at best responsible for five percent of his vote, the pundits tell us. Here is a compilation of over 100 significant instances of pro-Obama/anti-McCain bias during the 2008 campaign.
