Gay marriage headed to DNC platform

Democrats are set to include a pro-gay marriage plank in their convention platform for the first time in history, party sources confirm to POLITICO. The language was approved unanimously by a 15-member platform draft committee, and now heads for approval by the full platform committee in August.

The party’s Platform Drafting Committee agreed, unanimously, to approve the language at a meeting this weekend in Minneapolis.

A source in the meeting said the decision was “not controversial.”

Democrats are assuming a LOT...there are a lot of ministers, church members, that are registered democrats that do not agree with this...

It will definitely be interesting to see this evolve...

Obama Thanks Gay Porn King for Organizing Fundraiser

“I want to thank someone who put so much work into this event, Terry Bean," President Obama said as the crowd began to cheer. "Give Terry a big round of applause.”

Terry Bean is, according to the New York Post, a "gay-porn kingpin."

"ONE of the 'bundlers' who has raised $50,000 to $100,000 for the Barack Obama presidential campaign is Terrence Bean, who once controlled the biggest producer of gay porn in America," thePost reported in 2008, during the president's first run the office. "Bean, the first gay on Sen. Obama's National Finance Committee, is the sole trustee of the Charles M. Holmes Foundation, which owned Falcon Studios, Jock Studios and Mustang Studios, the producers of about $10 million worth of all-male pornography a year."

The Post added:

In 2002, Oregon Gov. Ted Kulongowski returned a $15,000 contribution from Conwest to avoid the "taint" of the porn connection. Bean told Page Six yesterday, "I asked the company to donate, and they did. To avoid the appearance of anything, he [Kulongowski] returned it."

PUTTING THINGS IN PERSPECTIVE...

WHAT EARTH LOOKS LIKE FROM SATURN

WHEN I SAW THIS IT WAS A 'HORTON HEARS A WHO' MOMENT...

But it actually comes from an article posted by James Altucher titled 'What to do when you lose everything.'

One thing that struck me was the part where he has you summarize 'all the ways to think about a bad situation RIGHT WHEN you are experiencing it.

These are good exercises, especially during times like these where we are experiencing or facing difficult situations, some beyond our control...

One exercise in particular struck me as something that could turn into a very positive daily routine...check it out:

I’m doing to do the daily practice. Things feel bad this second. But they can feel better tomorrow. I’m going to pick one physical goal (do 20 pushups, don’t eat junk food). I’m going to pick one emotional goal (forgive someone in your life), pick one mental goal (write down 10 ideas for new businesses), and one spiritual goal (be grateful you were once a fetus). Then I’m going to write an X on the calendar once I accomplish all those goals. Then I’m going to do it again the next day. I know my life will be completely different in six months if I do this. If the goals seem too big, then make them smaller. But do all four.

RAHM EMANUEL ATTACKS CHICK-FIL-A

"If he’s in the business of selling chicken in Chicago, he should be in the business of having equal rights for everyone." said Rahm Emanuel, ObaMao buddy and current mayor of Chicago...

I don't remember Chick-fil-A ever saying they would not sell chicken to gays...I mean seriously...have you EVER been asked...while placing an order...'are you straight or gay?'...

So does this mean that straights should boycott businesses owned by gays? What about Muslim owned businesses? They are definitely anti-gay...why aren't the gays going after them?

I'm not promoting any of that...but think about it...there are always two points of view on issues...and, as in this case, if your point of view on gay marriage in no way affects the kind of business you are running...how are they tying the two together?

It clearly is intimidation. Something liberals are pros at...intimidating people until they back down from a position that disagrees with liberals...

Man attacks TFP volunteers, assaults American flag

FROM TFP STUDENT ACTION:

Free speech is less free in Arkansas. In fact, volunteers with Tradition Family and Property (TFP—Louisiana) were recently attacked in Little Rock during a peaceful rally against Obamacare and its HHS mandate. The incident occurred on July 17.

Man Targets American flag

At the McCain Mall in North Little Rock, a middle-aged man came up from behind the group as they calmly prayed the rosary. First he said, “Praise be Mary,” giving the impression he was friendly. Next he shouted, “Get the hell out of here!” and rushed our American flag bearer Elias Bartel, knocking him off his feet with a violent blow. Old Glory fell over, but not completely because the 19-foot flag pole caught a power line on the way down and was quickly recovered and set upright again.

“I was pretty shocked… The first thing he did was target the American flag. He wanted to throw it on the ground,” said Bartel. “What he did was beyond disrespect.”

…“I’m bruised, but not about to give up,” Guerra remarked. “The attacker’s behavior reflects the socialist mindset: if they can’t win the debate, they bully you. If they can’t silence the Church on moral values, they use mandates and intimidation.”

I don't know about you, but the attacker looked like a SEIU thug to me...

Allen West is "most wanted" on the "TAKE DOWN THE TEA PARTY TEN" hit list of a Soros funded, uber-leftist Super PAC known as CREDO. But that is not the biggest news from the radical Marxist fever swamps.
Reports and "confidential memoranda" are swirling that another brand new, super special Super PAC called DUMP WEST is being formed specifically to defeat Allen West – and that George Soros has committed $5 million to drive West out of Congress! We MUST help build grassroots patriot support AND a national supply line for Representative Allen West NOW. It is time for Tea Partiers, patriots and Frederick Douglass Republican allies to UNITE and man the barricades!
Operation Black Storm can't stand by silently in 2012. We need your help:

• To make sure that shady political spending doesn't drown out the truth about the Tea Party record.

• To fight back against this radical takeover of our Congress and our democracy.

You can see how they will defame, lie and character-assassinate to try to defeat those who defend America! The need has NEVER been so urgent for YOU TO SUPPORT ALLEN WEST and OPERATION BLACK STORM!
Our STORM needs to become a WEST WIND! Let's blow these lying leftists off the map with gales of righteousness and thunderclaps of truth SUPPORTING CONGRESSMAN ALLEN WEST!

Soros Promotes UN Control Over Gun Ownership

George Soros is financing the fight to give the United Nations control of your guns.Through his Media Matters organization, Soros is dumping pro-UN gun control propaganda into the mainstream media to coincide with the United Nations Conference on the Arms Trade Treaty being held in New York July 2–27. 

In a blog post published on July 3, Timothy Johnson of Media Matters describes the notion that the United Nations would ever try to take away the right of Americans to keep and bear arms “laughable.”

Johnson goes on to promote the passage of the UN’s Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) as a means of “curtailing the illicit arms trade” and thus cracking down on those who use these weapons to deny others their “human rights.”

The blog post assures citizens concerned about the potential eradication of the rights guaranteed in the Second Amendment to the Constitution that they have nothing to fear from the UN’s gun control treaty. 

Top officials from the United Nations, the United States, and other high profile supporters have repeatedly and clearly said that the treaty does not aim to restrict anyone’s “freedom to own” a gun.   Indeed, the UN General Assembly’s resolution on the treaty makes clear that countries will “exclusively” maintain the right within their borders to “regulate internal transfers of arms and national ownership, including through national constitutional protections on private ownerships.”

Constitutionalists will instantly notice a couple of red flags raised by Media Matters’ word choice.

First, there need be no quotation marks around the phrase freedom to own a gun. Americans should enjoy the unqualified right to bear arms and it is not some antiquated idea or some unicorn-like mythical creature that requires special punctuational treatment. Americans are well aware that an unarmed citizenry is easier to subdue and will rightly resist all efforts to abridge that right.

Second, the citizens of the United States do not need the permission of the United Nations to maintain the “exclusive” right to own a gun. This right, as with all others protected by the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, comes from God, not man, and may be neither given nor taken away by any government.

IF YOU ARE OPPOSED TO THIS, WRITE, CALL, EMAIL YOUR CONGRESSMAN TODAY...OBAMAO AND HILLARY ARE LEANING ON CONGRESS TO APPROVE THIS "TREATY" WHICH WOULD BE JUST ONE MORE CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TAKEN AWAY BY THIS CRIMINAL ADMINISTRATION...

BRAD PITT'S MOTHER WRITES ANTI-OBAMA / PRO-ROMNEY LETTER

Election-Casting ballot deserves prayerful consideration

6:00 AM, Jul 3, 2012   |

I have given much thought to Richard Stoecker’s letter (“Vote for Mormon against beliefs,” June 15). I am also a Christian and differ with the Mormon religion.

But I think any Christian should spend much time in prayer before refusing to vote for a family man with high morals, business experience, who is against abortion, and shares Christian conviction concerning homosexuality just because he is a Mormon.

Any Christian who does not vote or writes in a name is casting a vote for Romney’s opponent, Barack Hussein Obama — a man who sat in Jeremiah Wright’s church for years, did not hold a public ceremony to mark the National Day of Prayer, and is a liberal who supports the killing of unborn babies and same-sex marriage.

I hope all Christians give their vote prayerful consideration because voting is a sacred privilege and a serious responsibility.

Editor’s note: To clear up earlier confusion, the News-Leader has verified the letter writer is the mother of actor Brad Pitt and local businessman Doug Pitt.

I just copied and pasted her letter here...the comments are unbelievably hate-filled...attacks on her from the LBGT and pro-abortion community...probably because the letter was linked from Huffington Post's Gay Voices page...

MONDAY MORNING PEP TALK: DON'T FORGET BREITBART'S DOG WHISTLE

After last week's devastating SCOTUS decision I've been spending plenty of time watching and listening to reactions from everyone and just wanted to remind everyone that we are in the battle of our lifetime...for the freedoms we hold so near and dear...for this country and the continuation of what our founding fathers laid out - three EQUAL branches of government...checks and balances...nothing even closely resembling socialism or the changes that Obama has brought about in the short time he has been in office...

Perhaps I am projecting my emotions on everyone else, but I thought now would be a good time to listen to Andrew Breitbart when he said, such a short time ago, that we are watching the democratic-liberal-left media complex.

This is going to be the dog whistle election cycle...Andrew bought a dog whistle factory for all of us so we can listen to the media complex...and we are going to listen to every word that comes out of their mouths and we are going to hold them to the same standard that they hold us, WHICH IS AN IMPOSSIBLE ONE, and they are gonna have a helluva time because America has finally awoken to their Sal Alinsky bullshit tactics...and WE'RE COMING TO GET YOU!

THIS IS WAR, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! THEY MAY HAVE WON ONE BATTLE ON THURSDAY LAST WEEK...BUT THEY HAVEN'T WON THE WAR!

Watch Andrew Breitbart and listen to his words...he nailed what is going on in this country today and inspired many to get active...he helped wake the 'sleeping giant' in this country to the danger of being passive while sinister people plot to take over our government...take away our freedoms...change the country we hold so dear into something we don't even recognize...

Do not despair...recover from the battle wounds...dust yourselves off...and get back in there...we have a #WAR to WIN!
