Mitch Anderson, Belton
High School’s 2013 Salutatorian, in his speech:
“I
myself am guilty of self-doubt, relying on others to give my life definition. But
that time has passed, and I feel the moment has arrived for me to be publicly
true to my personal identity. So now, I can say, I’m gay. It is both a
significant portion of who I am and an inconsequential aspect. It’s as natural
and effortless to me as breathing. I couldn’t change myself even if I wanted,
and believe me, I have."
He’s not a gay Salutatorian;
he’s a Salutatorian who is gay.
Welcome Out, Mitch. Please
keep an eye out for your copy of The Gay Agenda and the obligatory Coming Out
Toaster Oven.
No matter when and how you do
it, coming out is great.
Mitt Romney, whining again about
his failed campaign and incidents like the 47% video, and Hurricane Sandy:
"And there were other
things that didn’t help my campaign, either. Obviously a hurricane with a week
to go before the election stalled our campaign. ... No, no, no… No. No, no...I
— I wish the hurricane hadn’t have happened…when it did, because it gave the
President a chance to be presidential, and to be out showing sympathy for
folks. That’s one of the advantages of incumbency. But, you know, you don’t
look back and worry about each little thing, and how could that have been
different. You look forward."
The President is, and was, and will be Presidential, Mittsy,
and we all knew long before Sandy, with your flip-flops, and tax lies, that you
could never be.
Don’t look for excuses as to why you lost the election. You
lost the election because a majority of the American people say Oh hell no.
Patrick Leahy, the Democratic
Senator from Vermont, filing a floor amendment to the immigration bill for gay
binational couples:
“Seeking equal protection
under our laws for the LGBT community is the right thing to do. I withheld my
anti-discrimination amendment during the Senate Judiciary Committee markup. As
the entire Senate turns to debate the immigration bill, the fight for equality
must go on.”
It goes on, and will go on,
until every last LGBT American is treated like every single heterosexual
American.
David Nutting, Wausau Wisconsin’s 3rd District
Alderman, is telling residents to physically turn their backs on Wausau's
first ever Gay Pride Parade:
“I represent an overwhelming
majority of district 3 residents who oppose allowing a parade of
deviant-behaving individuals to be escorted by public law enforcement members
through the very heart of our family-oriented city to a beautiful
family-oriented public park where no doubt their choice of indecent behavior
will be on full display for influential children and the media to proclaim it
worldwide. This isn’t speech. This is behavior. I ask that all residents stay
away from the parade or if you do go, stand with your back to the parade of
deviant-behaving individuals. I respectfully ask for our various media outlets
to pay little or no attention to the parade just as you do to any other parade
in this city…”
Um, wow, where to begin? Let’s
start with the shallow bits: David Nutting?
Your name suits you.
It’s a parade celebrating a particular segment of society,
and if you don’t like it, don’t go, or if you don’t like it and you do go, and
you turn your back like an insolent little spoiled brat who didn‘t get his way,
you are gonna miss one f-a-a-a-a-a-a-bulous parade.
Nutting. Hee hee.
Edward Snowden, saying he intends to fight extradition to the United States:
"I'm
neither traitor nor hero. I'm an American. People who think I made a mistake in
picking Hong Kong as a location misunderstand my intentions. I am not here to
hide from justice; I am here to reveal criminality. My intention is to ask the
courts and people of Hong Kong to decide my fate. I have been given no reason
to doubt your system."
He’s trying to sound a little
like a superhero.
It isn’t working Edward.
John Fleming, Louisiana
Republican Congressman, on President
Obama's criticism of his
defense appropriations amendment that prohibits punishing soldiers who abuse gay troops:
"President
Obama is continuing his war on free speech. With the IRS trying to intimidate
and silence conservative groups, and the Justice Department digging into the
phone records of reporters, it’s no surprise that the president also wants to
deny First Amendment rights to our Armed Forces. With its statement, the White
House is now endorsing military reprimands of members who keep a Bible on their
desk or express a religious belief. That is an outrageous position, but it’s
what I’ve come to expect from an administration that is aggressively hostile
toward religious beliefs that it deems to be politically incorrect. My
amendment protects, for our men and women in uniform, a principle enshrined in
our Constitution and cherished since our Founding Fathers: the free exercise of
one’s religious beliefs, including expressions of one’s belief. It has
bipartisan support and takes into account the unique context of military
service, accommodating the beliefs of our service members, while not
jeopardizing military necessity. We need to protect the free speech of the
brave warriors who fight to safeguard our liberties, and I hope Congress will reject
this blatant White House attack on religious freedom."
First off moron, stick to
topic one: allowing religious intolerance of LGBT Americans to be acceptable in
our military. Don’t try and mush it up with the IRS and the NSA, you douche.
Secondly, please answer this
question: how would you fell, you twisted little fu …. How would you feel, sir,
if the military said it was acceptable for atheists to use discriminatory language
towards religious personnel? Me thinks you might get your panties twisted.
Let’s just say that discriminatory
speech, while Free Speech, isn’t necessary.
It serves no purpose.
You moron.Marco Rubio, the Republican Congressman from Florida, saying he's done with the immigration bill if it includes gay couples:
"If this bill has something in it that gives gay couples immigration rights and so forth, it kills the bill. I'm done. I'm off it, and I've said that repeatedly. I don't think that's going to happen and it shouldn't happen. This is already a difficult enough issue as it is."
So, Marco Rubio has made it very clear, again and again, and finally, that gay couples do not deserve the same rights under the new immigration polices as straight couples.
Remember that when he changes his tune and tries to run for President.
He's anti-LGBT. He said so. Oh sure, he'll say he didn't want to include gay couples because that would make passage of the bill more difficult, but really, he just doesn't think we're equal.
Bravo, Mitch Anderson, bravo!
ReplyDeleteMore proof Rubio's presidential ambitions are nothing but folly.
ReplyDeleteRegarding Mr. Fleming - one of the things that people do when they to demonize their opponent is launch into a wildly veering argument when they could just say X is wrong and here is why. It's the tactic of a puny mind and it tells us that the person launching the attack doesn't have enough facts to scrape together an argument. It can lose your team the debate.
ReplyDeleteIt seems to me that, nowadays, Gay Pride celebrations do little more than fuel the opposition’s fire. In decades past, these gatherings were one of very few events where LGBT folks could meet and spend time with like-minded people. The media tends to feature the fringe participants and, thus, perpetuate the stereotype that gay men wear dresses and lesbians are butch motorcyclists. I wonder if Wausau, Wisconsin’s parade might do more harm than good. A few brave kids like Mitch Anderson can do more good than any number of parades.
ReplyDeleteJohn Fleming is an assh*le.
Marco Rubio is an assh*le.
"You lost the election because a majority of the American people say Oh hell no." - HELLZ YEAH! and because paul ryan is a douchebag.
