Barack Obama’s “hope” is the new version of Ronald Reagan’s “morning in America.” Like Ronald Reagan, Obama is a charismatic and inspirational speaker. That’s not where the similarity ends.

Ronald Reagan went to Philadelphia, Mississippi to make his notorious states’ rights speech and pander to Southern racist bigots during his 1982 election campaign. Obama claims that civil and human rights for gays and lesbians are states’ rights issues and Obama sent the rabidly anti-gay Donny McClurkin to denounce gays and lesbians from the stage of his South Carolina gospel tour.

I don’t believe black evangelicals to be anti-gay bigots, but Obama does, or he wouldn’t have sent McClurkin to do the dirty in South Carolina. All Democrats should be outraged that Obama would insult black evangelicals by assuming them to be bigots.

Obama has attended a racist church for 20 years. He claims that most whites, like his white grandmother, are afraid of blacks. Reverend James Meeks, another Obama spiritual and political mentor, has been cited by the Southern Poverty Law Center as a leading black partner of Focus on the Family, the Family Research Council and the Alliance Defense Fund. What are we to make of this? Obama wants us to ignore his close association with hate-mongers and bigots while he ...   more »

Larry King asked another 8^th grader to be his valentine, the other kid took out a gun and shot Larry dead.

Just remember this: When you cited The Bible to justify your bigotry against gays and lesbians, you put the gun in the hand  of Larry Kings murderer.

Calif gay student's slaying sparks outcry, demands for programs

OXNARD, Calif.—Larry King was a gay eighth-grader who used to come to school in makeup, high heels and earrings. And when the other boys made fun of him, he would boldly tease them right back by flirting with them.

That may have been what got him killed.

On Feb. 12, another student, Brandon McInerney, 14, shot him twice in the head at the back of the computer lab at their junior high school, police say.

The slaying of the 15-year-old boy has alarmed gay rights activists and led to demands that middle schools do more to educate youngsters about discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.

Police would not discuss McInerney's motive. But the day before the shooting, King told McInerney he liked him, eighth-grader Eduardo Segure told ...   more »

Will the conventions be fair?
by Geoff Staples

With the Texas Democratic Party Senate District Conventions being held this weekend (Saturday, March 29), I wanted to alert the community to what happened at the Senate District 23 Democratic convention in 2006.

I am a Democrat because I believe the Democratic Party to be the party of equality, justice, liberty, respect and economic opportunity for all persons. Unfortunately, the 2006 SD 23 convention caused me to doubt this belief.

I was a delegate and a member of the Resolutions Committee. In that committee, we discuss and vote on resolutions covering the gamut of current issues. At the 2006 convention, the Resolutions Committee voted down a resolution calling for universal health care and when it was brought to the floor of the convention, the convention affirmed they did not support universal health care.

Equally appalling, the Resolutions Committee voted down a resolution calling for gay and lesbian families to have equal rights to marriage and the benefits thereof. African-American committee members abused their one-vote majority and block-voted against the resolution while every other person on the committee voted for passage. During the discussion, some of ...   more »

Obama takes money from big PhRMA lobbyists and pretends he doesn’t. Obama attacks Hillary Clinton with Harry and Louise style ads. Will he wait until after he’s elected to tell us he doesn’t think Medicare should be allowed to negotiate price with his friends at big PhRMA? GS

Partners at the Chicago-based law firm of Kirkland Ellis LLP, which has a lobbying arm in Washington, gave Mr. Obama more than $70,000 in contributions last year. The firm represented a pharmaceuticals company and the Futures Industry Association.

Mr. Obama also has accepted tens of thousands from partners Covington & Burling, which was paid nearly a half-million dollars last year to lobby for the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers Association, or PhRMA.

Sen. Barack Obama, who has refused donations from federal lobbyists and paints his Democratic presidential rival as a Washington insider for accepting their contributions, took hundreds of thousands of dollars from partners at dozens of firms that lobbied Congress in 2007.

The partners — who often share in a law firm's overall profits — gave at least $214,000 to the Obama campaign from October through December, according to a review of Federal Election Commission records and lobbying-disclosure reports with the Senate....   more »
