Reid and Pelosi in the Gutter

 

It took a little more than the first hundred hours for the Democrats’ Harry Pelosi and Nancy Reid to lead the American legislature to the lowest approval ratings in history.

 

They are right down there with Mike Nifong’s ethics and Ted Kennedy’s morality. They are so low they make Bush look good.

New Gallup data show confidence in Congress at all time low

Just 14% of Americans have a great deal or quite a lot of confidence in Congress. 

This 14% Congressional confidence rating is the all-time low for this measure, which Gallup initiated in 1973.  The previous low point for Congress was 18% at several points in the period of time 1991 to 1994.

Congress is now nestled at the bottom of the list of Gallup's annual Confidence in Institutions rankings, along with HMOs.  Just 15% of Americans have a great deal or quite a lot of confidence in HMOs.  (By way of contrast, 69% of Americans have a great deal or quite a lot of confidence in the military, which tops the list.  More on this at galluppoll.com on Thursday).

Pure Lavender Mafiosa

Whenever Deconstructing the intrinsically aberrant, degrading and objectively disordered nature of the sick hatreds and vile perversions that make up the mainstream of the Radical Leftist / Gender Feminist / Homosex agenda, it is always important to remember the 'Politics of Adversarial Terminology' at play in their hatemongering pogrom of societal destruction.

Hence the use of sanitized and gaily misleading euphemisms that encourage the Orwellian 'Doublethink' necessary to making such sickness and hatred palatable to the 'Vanilla' (clueless voters / readers) - is an important tool for such Hatemongers to insure that the 'Vanilla' remain ignorant enough of the facts behind the scam that they will still cast their ballots in obedience to the dictates of said Old Media Homosex Propagandists.

Thus - while the pretense of a united front of solidarity is regularly spun to the Vanilla as the 'truth' - the fact is that there are huge differences between the various factions that make up the dirty rainbow of perversions and hatreds that is their banner. The two main forces in the 'Pander or Perish' movement have little in common, save for their rabid frothing hind foot thumping Misandry (Hatred of Men, Masculinity and Normal Heterosexuality), and although the watchdogs of the old media try and play it down - such differences are quite apparent from their own behaviors and postures.

Hence, while most attention is still focused on the Pathological Disease Spreading Antics of the Coprophile Cult of Feces Focused Homo-Anal Perversions (the Barney Frank / Drag Queen Wing), this is done in large measure to avoid deeper scrutiny of the Separatist / Neo-Exterminationist Cult of Dyke Misandry, and the ugly revelations that would result from such scrutiny. Even Radical Gender Feminist Icon Betty Goldstein (Freidan) warned in the early days of Feminism about the threat of takeover by what she called the "Lavender Menace," meaning Dyke Hatemongers and their agenda of Hatred Uber Alles.

In Weimar Kalifornia the Lavender Menace, despite their tiny numbers in the population, has morphed in to a Lavender Mafia with virtual control over all 'gender' issues in the Legislature (a body not fit to pass gas), under the leadership of such notorious Hatemongers as Zelda Kuehl, $5 Smidgen, Jackie Goldbarge and Sleazy Suzzi Kennedy - all Powerful Prima-Donnaz of the Democrap Hate Machine. While pretending to represent 'Women', and using the fabricated hoax of their victimization culture as a front, they are actually the greatest enemies of Normal Women around - and rationalize their Hate Pogroms with propaganda claims supported by Feminazi Law Professors that All Heterosexual Intercourse is Rape - because Normal Women Can Not consent to such due to their oppression by the "Patriarchy."

Hence - their Royal Choice of Lavender as the Color of Dyke Misandry is not a coincidence, but rather a reflection of their self appointed / anointed status as the Only Womyn whose views are allowed to be considered legitimate, because their Rabid Misandry makes them more enlightened than ordinary Women - who they Alone Must Represent, even if it is against their Will. As the following excerpt from the Frisco Crock about the Enda scam in Congress shows, eventually such Hatemongers and their Misandrist allies show their true colors.

BTW - Religious Organizations are Not Exempt from the bill - but like the Boy Scouts and others are Specifically Targeted for Destruction - and the claim is simply another Old Media Lie... So what else is new...

Carolyn Lochhead, Chronicle Washington Bureau November 8, 2007. The Employment Non-Discrimination Act... emotional debate about whether to include gender identity in the bill split gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgender people for weeks. Most gay rights organizations, with the exception of the Human Rights Campaign, opposed the legislation, and a handful of liberal Democrats voted against the bill with evident distress.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, wearing a lavender suit as a symbolic gesture of solidarity... said she was disappointed that it excluded transgender people... dropping transgender people from the anti-discrimination bill, known as ENDA, enraged gay leaders and tore apart the gay community.

For the first time, most gay rights groups were on the opposite side of Frank, their longtime champion, each angrily and publicly denouncing the other... to round up votes for an amendment by Rep. Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis., the only openly lesbian House member, to include transgender people in the bill.

Baldwin, too, wore lavender and vowed that transgender ... I will do everything in my power to make this measure whole again." Frank, however, denounced what he called self-defeating ideological purists...

Religious organizations are exempted from the bill. But Republicans warned that the legislation would force Christian, Muslim and other religious businesses such as bookstores that are not affiliated with an official religious group to hire homosexuals.

To beat back GOP attacks, Democrats also included a reaffirmation that the Defense of Marriage Act banning federal recognition of same-sex marriage remains intact.

Taken for Granted (FRC)


Today's
Washington Post has an interesting piece on how major issues like abortion and marriage are uniting African-Americans and allowing the Republican Party to make potential inroads into this community that generally tends to vote overwhelmingly for the Democrats. The story leads with my good friend Bishop Harry Jackson, Jr. and how his High Impact Leadership Coalition of black pastors rejects the traditional party line and looks at the moral issues of today before deciding what they communicate to their congregations.

Bishop Jackson, just like me and other people of faith of all colors, makes it clear we will not be beholden to any party. What is ironic is that while some leaders of the Democratic Party have started embracing the language of faith with the hopes of attracting religious voters, most still want to hold the party line of abortion on demand and remain estranged from traditional marriage.

While the Republicans experienced the powerful pull of social issues on African-Americans in 2004 because of the marriage issue, they are increasingly distancing themselves from these key issues that speak the true language of faith and bring Christian voters into the fold. If issues that are important to so many Christians, both black and white, are ignored by both parties then ultimately both parties may find they are ignored by many Christians.

DOMA, Sweet DOMA (FRC)

For months, the House and Senate have been out of touch with Americans, and the introduction of a new domestic partner policy proves it. On December 19, shortly before the chambers recessed, members of both the House and Senate sponsored bills that would essentially invalidate the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA).

 Under the new legislation government employees and their same-sex partners would be eligible to receive federal health and insurance benefits. The Domestic Partnership Benefits and Obligations Act, introduced in the Senate as S. 2521 by Sens. Joseph Lieberman (I-Conn.) and Gordon Smith (R-Ore.) and in the House as H.R. 4838 by Reps. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.), Chris Shays (R-Conn.), Harry Waxman (D-Calif.), and Tom Davis (R-Va.), would force taxpayers to subsidize a sexual lifestyle that a majority of them find morally objectionable.

If congressional leaders believe that a new era of acceptance has dawned, they need only to look to their own home states, where efforts to enshrine traditional marriage into law are energizing voters as never before. In November, four states are gearing up to join the 27 that have already amended their constitutions to protect marriage as God intended it--as the union of one man and one woman. Two others expect a vote as early as next year.

The only ones in denial of America's legislative priorities happen to be the leaders setting them. Help us deliver the reality check that Congress so desperately needs. Click the link below and ask your representatives to vote "no" on H.R. 4838 and S. 2521.

MICHIGAN: ANOTHER ARGUMENT FOR A CLOSED PRIMARY (IVA)

 

Allowing an opposing party to help you select your candidates for public office is a form of political insanity, a bit like letting the San Diego Chargers help choose the New England Patriots' starting quarterback in this weekend's AFC championship game. Think the Chargers would vote for Tom Brady?

 

While the rank and file members of the Republican Party in Idaho continue to battle their own party's elite over closing the Republican primaries in Idaho, more evidence of the political folly of open primaries is emerging in Michigan. Michigan, like Idaho, has an open primary system, meaning Democrats can vote in the Republican primary and vice-versa.

 

In Michigan, a dispute between the state and national Democratic Party has kept every name but Hillary Clinton's off tomorrow's primary ballot.

 

This has led to a call from the left-leaning Democratic website DailyKos for Democrats to sabotage the Republican primary by crossing over to vote for Mitt Romney, in order to prolong his campaign so that GOP candidates will continue "trashing each other" in the quest for primary voters. The latest polls show Romney running in a statistical dead heat with John McCain, meaning that Democratic crossover votes could have a material effect on the outcome.

 

The author of the DailyKos piece tells readers that Republicans meddled in the Democratic primary in 1972, when, he says, a third of voters in the Democratic primary were Republican crossovers who voted for segregationist George Wallace just to embarrass the state's Democrats.

 

Republicans, according to DailyKos, did a similar thing in 1988, helping Jesse Jackson win the Democratic primary, and again in 1998 when they helped Jack Kevorkian's lawyer win his Democratic primary for governor.

 

And, he says, Democrats did the same thing in the 2000 primary, crossing over to give the GOP primary to John McCain just to spite Republican governor John Engler, who had "guaranteed" the state to Bush.

 

The DailyKos appeal, in bold-face in the original, declares, "Michigan Democrats should vote for Mitt Romney, because if Mitt wins, Democrats win."

 

While Democrats in Idaho continue to harshly criticize Republican efforts to close Republican primaries, they continue to hold a closed caucus - open only to Democrats, thank you very much - to select a Democratic presidential nominee.

 

In other words, they want to be able to mess with Republican primaries, but don't want Republicans to mess with their presidential caucus. Who can blame them? All of which simply proves that they are smarter on this issue than the leadership of the Republican Party in Idaho.

Many Unhappy Returns

FRC:

The holidays have given everyone in Washington an opportunity to rest, and given the latest priorities of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), the pro-family forces will need it.

As the House reconvenes today, the leadership is expected to start the New Year in much the same way as it ended the old--with renewed attacks on marriage, ethical science, and employers' rights. Despite the widespread success of induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells, which reinforce the lack of need for embryonic stem cell (ESC) research, Democrats plan to stage yet another vote on the bill that would force taxpayers to fund ESC.

As I mentioned last week, there is already a campaign underway to overturn the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) by granting the homosexual partners of federal employees the same rights and privileges as married spouses.

And last, but certainly not least, don't count out "hate crimes" or the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), both of which are at the top of the liberal "to do" list. Stay tuned to the Update, because we are certain to need all values voters on deck in the coming weeks!

Obama snub still rankles Newsom

C.W. Nevius SFGate, February 5, 2008

Seeing Mayor Gavin Newsom on the national stage with former president Bill Clinton on Monday night is a reminder of how political winds can change. On the eve of the biggest night of the presidential primaries, Newsom shared the spotlight during a town hall meeting staged and broadcast on cable TV and satellite radio by the Hillary Rodham Clinton campaign.

But just four years ago, current Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama is said to have declined to have his picture taken in San Francisco with Newsom, who was then at the center of a national uproar over his decision to allow same-sex marriage in San Francisco.

"I gave a fundraiser, at his (Obama's) request at the Waterfront restaurant," said former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown. "And he said to me, he would really appreciate it if he didn't get his photo taken with my mayor. He said he would really not like to have his picture taken with Gavin."

Today, of course, Obama's people are backpedaling away from that account like crazy.

His deputy campaign director, Steve Hildebrand, who lives with his partner as an openly gay man, calls it "a ridiculous story."

"Barack Obama gets his picture taken with gay people all the time," Hildebrand said. "Including me, his deputy campaign manager."

But insiders at City Hall, both current and former members of Newsom's staff, recall the incident well. And you can bet that Newsom hasn't forgotten it either.
"He was pissed," said one former staffer.

In fact, early last year, Newsom alluded to the incident in an interview at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. Speaking to Reuters on Jan. 26, 2007, Newsom was asked about three potential Democratic candidates: Obama, Hillary Clinton and Al Gore.

He was asked about the flak he took after announcing that San Francisco would allow same-sex marriages - flak that included claims he had helped Republicans by handing them a wedge issue heading into a presidential election year. In the interview, Newsom admitted he'd been hammered over the decision. "And I'm not just saying from Republicans," he added at the time.

"One of the three Democrats you mentioned as presidential candidates, as God is my witness, will not be photographed with me, will not be in the same room with me," Newsom told Reuters, "even though I've done fundraisers for that particular person - not once, but twice - because of this issue."

Now, could that be why Newsom declared his support for Hillary Clinton a good six months ago? San Francisco Supervisor Bevan Dufty, who was concerned enough about the 2004 story to look into it, insists the mayor's endorsement of the former first lady is more likely a case of repayment of political favors. And Newsom said after the town meeting that the snub "had nothing to do with my decision."

But Brown, as savvy as they get when it comes to reading political motivations, thinks the 2004 snub played a part.
"I think he has harbored this resentment for years," Brown said of Newsom, adding that Obama was reluctant to be seen appearing in San Francisco altogether, much less side by side with the gay-marriage mayor. "I would guess that is part of the rejection of the Obama campaign."

Though same-sex marriage is still a hot-button issue in 2008, it is no longer the shocker that had the country in an uproar four and five years ago. Until you go back and look at the news stories from those days, it is easy to forget how radical and unpopular Newsom's stand was.

And, no, it wasn't just the right-wingers who were upset. It was Democrats, too, particularly those running in the presidential primary. John Kerry, for example, was careful to stage his Bay Area appearances in Oakland, not San Francisco, after the controversy hit.

"I don't know anybody in the party who was happy with him, except me," Brown said. "He was all alone out there. He was the poster child for same-sex marriage worldwide."
That's why Brown says he doesn't blame Obama for his caution. Today, of course, the Illinois senator is happy to embrace gay causes. But in 2004, nationally, same-sex marriage was a radical notion.

"What they ought to say is, 'Damn right I did it, and I'd do it again,' " Brown said of the Obama camp. "He was in a race for the Senate, and I am guessing that downstate Illinois is a pretty red (meaning conservative) group of voters."

 Congress Does a One-Eighty (and Counting) (FRC)

Today FRC Senior Fellow Bill Saunders and Vice President of Government Affairs Tom McClusky joined a large roomful of President Bush's stalled appointees to hear President Bush admonish the Democratic Senate on their failure to act on more than 180 of his nominees to various offices in the government and among our federal courts.

Within this number are 28 qualified judicial nominees, the majority of whom have not even been granted a hearing, including some who have been pending for over two years.

These presidential nominees are men and women from all walks of life who have put their lives on hold to serve this nation. Instead of recognizing their willingness to serve, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and Senate Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) have decided to put sand in the gears of government by not giving these men and women a simple up-or-down vote.

The non-judicial nominees include members of the Council of Economic Advisers, the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board. Clearly the financial security or safety of Americans is taking a back seat to partisan politics.

Pelosi: House Rules Are Made to Be Broken (FRC)

The military follows congressional orders. Unfortunately for Defense Secretary Robert Gates, the House leadership does not.

Earlier this year, the Pentagon refused a request by Rep. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wisc.) to bring her lesbian partner on a military flight to Europe. Under House rules, only a legal spouse (or, in some instances, an adult child) is eligible to travel with members of Congress when space permits. Baldwin, who claims to have "married" Lauren Azar in 1998, insists on registering her girlfriend as a "spouse" on government forms even though her own home state doesn't recognize same-sex marriage.

Secretary Gates insisted that he was following Congress's own protocol in blocking Azar from the transport, but that didn't prevent Pelosi from contacting his office and demanding that he make an exception. According to Pelosi, former Speaker Dennis Hastert authorized similar trips. His former aides, however, disagree, saying that in at least one instance Hastert wasn't informed that Azar was on a trip "until it had already begun." Gates too was unaware of any prior exceptions but said that he would honor Pelosi's request if she issued an official letter approving it.

Pentagon press secretary Geoff Morrell points to the irony of the Speaker wanting to waive her own rules to create gay-friendly exceptions. "This is not an issue of DOD regulations," Morrell says. "Secretary Gates honored a request from Speaker Pelosi& but that's really as far as it goes. This should not be viewed as a precedent."

Tell that to the Speaker of the House. Although the matter was temporarily resolved, the dispute is ongoing. There is more behind this than a seat on a military plane, this is about hijacking the meaning of marriage. It is clear that the Speaker's actions are in direct conflict with the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA)--a law that Congress passed and former President Bill Clinton signed.
