President Bi Racial Obama

He is a Black/Kenyan/Arabic/Muslim on his father's side and White on his mothers.

His cousin is Odinga, the butcher of Kenya who went on a Christian Killing spree after loosing the election for prez.  He burned Christians alive in their churches, look it up on the web.  It is all there.

Odinga also is the one that detained Corsi, the Author of the book Obamanation, when he went to do his last bit of reasearch, if Corsi and his crew had not been in touch with Radio Talk Show Hosts in America my guess is he would be dead.

As it is Corsi and his crew got out with their lives and I be a cold day in hell before he goes back.

The name Barack Hussein is a name that glorifies Islam and the prohphet, peetooowee I choke on that word, having read the Haddith, Sunna, life of Muhmadman and the Qur'an.  Barack the name of the winged beast that supposedly took Muhmadman to the foot of the Temple Mt in his Night Journey, Hussein that family name that envolves Muhmaddman and his protege'.

When was the last time an American Black had a nomenclature like that, oh pleeeeeeeeeeze, this ain't no Leroy Brown.

I see where you are coming from, but you have to realize that President Obama is the first president who is not completely white.  In my opinion even if you are a republican you need to be proud to say your country has came a long way.  From slavery in the 1800s to Mr. Martin Luther Kings Jr's. assassination.  You need to take it in to consideration that 55 years ago black people weren't allowed to use the same restroom as us.  This is a huge deal for the whole world to know that the most powerful country in the world has a bi-racial president.  I am white but I see President Obama as a president and a great leader not as a Bi-Racial person.  I think that it is more than sad that Mr. Martin Luther King Jr. could not be here November 4, 2008 to witness a history making event.  Something he fought for for so long equality.  Don't get me wrong I'm not saying there is no racism in this country because there by far is still A LOT! But this election shows you something in my opinion.

Obama: Queer on Queers.

According to AMERICAblog, Barack Obama’s legal team — likely on instructions from the White House — filed a motion to dismiss a legal challenge to the “Defense” of “Marriage” Act (DOMA). The full-length, fifty-four page rape of the Constitution and queer constituents can be found here. Among some of the claims the team makes are:

* Homosexuality is comparable to incest and pedophilia. Maybe if the Obama administration lawyers had a basic understanding of reality, they might comprehend that since children aren’t able to consent (unlike adults, the persons in question in same-sex marriage) the comparison to homosexuality is not a very good one. They might also understand the fact that incest has been scientifically linked to genetic problems in offspring, whereas homosexuality…not so much.

* DOMA is fine because it saves the federal government money. (Funny, I don’t recall that being a concern of the Obama administration.) Besides, aren’t our rights priceless? Or something? Maybe?

This nonsense goes on and on; I encourage every person who voted for Obama to read this in full and then seriously reconsider voting for him again. You can’t write this off as simply him doing “his best” for gay people in today’s political climate: this was a relatively minor proceeding (i.e. whether the case would be able to go to court or not) and Obama would have been perfectly capable of distancing himself from the actions of his legal team. Instead, he chose to aggressively seek out and destroy the rights of same-sex couples.

I was happy to see that a number of gay-rights groups, including the ACLU, GLAD, Lambda Legal, and HRC, among others, wrote a letter to the Obama administration complaining about his desertion of gay Americans. This shouldn’t be shocking to anyone who even vaguely recalls the Clinton administration. In fact, the Democratic Party has a strong tradition of trying to screw gay people (though admittedly the Republican Party is far worse, at least they’re up-front about their hatred of non-white, non-heterosexual, non-males).

To me, the recent actions of the Obama administration, combined with his announced refusal to repeal Don’t Ask Don’t Tell for a long time, are merely a vindication of my belief that an Obama White House wouldn’t mean anything for gay rights.

Barack Obama should be absolutely ashamed of himself

Is Obama all talk on LGBTQ rights?

Yesterday The Advocate published an interview with John Berry, the highest-ranking openly gay official in the Obama administration. The administration, which issued a gay-pride proclamation earlier this month, is still pledging to repeal Don't Ask Don't Tell, overturn the Defense of Marriage Act, pass a trans-inclusive Employment Non-Discrimination Act at some unidentified point in the next three and half years... yet in all of these cases appears to be actively propping up the status quo. (Pam has a further breakdown.) Glad we've got that proclamation, though!

This hits on something I've been thinking about a lot lately. When it comes to LGBTQ rights and other issues we care deeply about, at what point do we stop being happy with Obama's rhetoric and start demanding REAL results? Hopefully by October 11, when there will be a National Equality March on Washington, we'll have more of an inkling as to the answer.

I could write a whole treatise on this. But I'd rather you watch this speech at the Boston Dyke March by Jaclyn Friedman (of Yes Means Yes! and WAM! fame**). Just listen to her speak the truth about Obama's weak proclamation, about queer rights, and about activism generally: (It's long, but SO worth it! Transcript after the jump -- the video cuts off a bit of the beginning.)


** After watching her speak, I was reminded again why there seems to be an exclamation point after every project Jaclyn is involved in. She! Is! So! Awesome!


 
It's an interesting time to be queer in America. We now have a president who issued an historic official proclamation in support of Pride Month and in recognition of the 40th anniversary of the Stonewall Rebellion. It even included the words "bisexual" and "transgender."

We can legally marry in Iowa and most of New England (yes, Rhode Island, I'm looking at you). Katy Perry made a fortune last year singing about her enjoyment of girl-on-girl kissing, Sean Penn won an Oscar playing queer civil rights hero Harvey Milk, and, just this past Sunday, the best actor Tony went to the three young leads in a show about a little boy who must overcome the homophobia of his family and community to pursue his dream of dancing.

It's enough to get a queer feeling like she can relax a little. Like she might finally be allowed, someday soon, to belong in this country.

That is, if she doesn't look too closely at those so-called victories. The hateful Prop 8 campaign in California taught us that while millions of Americans are plenty willing to buy "dykeness" or "queerness" as an entertainment product, far fewer are willing to accept us as full and equal citizens.

That Presidential Proclamation? It would sure sound sweeter if it were backed up by actual action to end discrimination against gay, lesbian, bi and trans Americans willing to DIE in service of our country's military whims. And it would be more than a little helpful if Obama would stop caving to the religious right and start condemning marriage discrimination, instead of defending it like he did today.
It would be more than a little helpful if Obama would stop caving to the religious right and start condemning marriage discrimination instead of defending it like he did today. Of course, marriage rights themselves would be a lot less important if quality, competent health care was available to every person in this country regardless of marital status, income, age, race, sexual orientation or gender identity. But who needs universal health care when you've got a shiny proclamation that proves the president knows we exist? He likes us! He really likes us.
This march has always stood for our refusal to let the politics of pride be forgotten amid the corporate logos, Mardi Gras beads, and block parties. This year especially, as we mark the 40th anniversary of Stonewall, it falls to all of us assembled here tonight to remember that the first Pride wasn't a rave. It was a riot. And while much has changed in 40 years, a lot of it for the better, we still have a long way to go before we realize the dream those brave queens and queers risked their lives for in that alley in the Village four decades ago. The heroes of Stonewall weren't just fighting against oppressive dress codes and outrageous bar raids, they were fighting for something. Something very simple. They were fighting for the right to be themselves. To express themselves. To enjoy their own skin and each other's company in whatever way most pleases them, without harming another soul.
Most of us here tonight don't need to be told that that fight is far from won. This can be a hard community to belong to. We chew off and fall all over ourselves to accept the crumbs of acknowledgment from the "outside world" while we're suspicious of and vicious toward each other. It's no mystery why. We're all desperate to get some very real needs met. Trans people here in Massachusetts want the same civil rights and basic protections the rest of us enjoy. Queer women of color need to stop being forced to choose between their identities, communities and oppressions and be valued in our movement as leaders, not just as tokens. Bi-identified dykes like myself want to stop being treated like spies in the house of queer. Kinksters need to be freed from the forced closet that "respectable" movement leaders keep them in. Older dykes want their trailblazing work respected so we'll be inspired to fight for their pensions and health care. Younger queers need to know that a better world than the one we're living in is possible, and that there's a place at the table for them as we work toward it. And disabled dykes rightly demand that that table be accessible to everyone.
The list goes on and on. It's a lot of need, and it's easy to fall into the trap of trying to rank them in order of priority or feasibility. After all, we can't do everything at once. But that's where political infighting and fractures start, which is exactly what keeps us stuck at proclamations and pop songs instead of actual progress. I'm not trying to be naive here. Resource issues are real. Most of us are busy, and many of us are struggling financially. We all have to make very real choices about the best ways to fight for justice.
What I am proposing tonight is that, while we're making those choices we stop imagining that our individual causes can be separated. Because they can't. No more than we can separate ourselves from our own bodies and desires. The trap of identity politics and infighting is that it blinds us to what's actually going on. Every one of us is ruled by a system that dictates whose bodies are free and whose aren't. Who gets to pursue pleasure, and who's a pervert. Think about it. Every one of those "special interest" groups I mentioned -- trans people, women of color, bi dykes, kinksters, older lesbians, young queers, disabled women, and more -- we're all being told the same thing. What we want to do with our bodies is not ok. Nevermind that we're not hurting anyone. Nevermind life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. In America, in 2009, our bodies are still illegal, immoral, and in danger.
This must end now. We must stop waiting for opportune moments. The heroes of Stonewall weren't rich or politically powerful. Quite the opposite. They were drag queens, stone butches, sexworkers, homeless queers, fed-up with keeping the peace and being grateful for what little they had. They wanted everything. A world where love is always legal. Where pleasure is a universally respected human right no matter who we love, what we where, or how we choose to express our bodies. The GLBT movement has done us a disservice for far too long by arguing for our civil rights under watered-down pretenses. Because talking about sex and bodies and desire gives lawmakers and the American public the vapors. Unless, of course, it involves pretty, thin, able-bodied, young, white, straight, feminine, cisgender women whose fictionalized sexuality is the backbone of U.S. capitalism.
But we don't deserve health care and an end to hate-fueled violence just because "we can't help how we're born." We don't deserve job protections or marriage rights if "we're just like everybody else." We deserve all of this and more because it's nobody's damn business what we do with our bodies, as long as we're not hurting anyone. Maybe sexuality is a choice for some of us. And obviously many of you here tonight are not trying very hard to assimilate into the mainstream. And yet every one of us here tonight has a body and desires and I'm here to tell you that we can end every kind of queer injustice if we can create a world where the pleasure of our bodies is a universally protected human right.
We can live in this world in our lifetime, but only if we look beyond our noses and our personal issues and make common cause with each other. Yes we can! (Laughs.) I'm not suggesting this is easy or without danger. As many of you already know, many of our so-called allies in the movement will deny us as radical fringe if we start demanding real freedom of our bodies without apology or concession. And the two heinous acts of hate-motivated domestic terrorism we've suffered this week is a stark reminder of the risks we face from the "immoral minority," some of whom are here right now, recording us and adding us to their lists. (Waves.) Hi, haters! (Blows kisses.) But those unknown risks aren't any worse than the known ones. Gay leaders already threw trans people under the bus when they allowed the Employee Non-Discrimination Act to be introduced without protecting gender identity, in hopes of making the bill more "palatable." Last year alone, there were almost 1500 hate crimes committed against queer citizens and organizations in this country. And that's just the ones that were reported and believed by the authorities. And the first few months of 2009 have already seen the suicide of three separate young boys -- two of them boys of color, one right here in Massachusetts -- who chose death over the homophobic bullying they were made to endure. Waiting our turn isn't working. Asking nicely isn't working. Worrying about our own personal issues isn't working. What will work is what worked that fateful night at Stonewall. Queens fighting for dykes. Dykes fighting for street kids. Straight allies taking up the cause beside us. All of us fighting for all of us. All of us refusing to stand down until all of our bodies, all of our desires, and all of our love are truly free.

SF Mayor Gavin Newsom Calls DOMA Brief 'A Big Mistake'

Prior to the start of the Los Angeles Pride parade which happened this weekend, San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom and L.A. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa both expressed concern over the disturbing Department of Justice brief filed last week in defense of DOMA.

Said Villaraigosa: "I'm concerned about some of the arguments being made by the Justice Department."

Added Newsom: "I think it's a big mistake."

The L.A. Times reports: "Newsom and Villaraigosa, potential rivals in next year's Democratic primary for governor, were both careful to avoid direct criticism of President Obama, who pledged during his campaign for the White House to repeal the marriage law."

Gay in charge of school safty

Homosexual in charge of school 'safety' draws opposition Groups challenge Obama administration to remove Jennings

A coalition of Christian organizations has launched an effort to have Kevin Jennings, the founder of the pro-homosexual GLSEN organization who has been appointed in president Obama's administration to oversee the nation's "safe schools" program, booted from office.

"The American Family Association of Pennsylvania is repulsed by the idea that Jennings, who has a twisted idea of safety, will help make official policy for our nation's school children," the organization said. "Parents should be VERY concerned with Kevin Jennings' appointment."

WND reported earlier when it became known that Jennings, who founded the activist group that promotes homosexual clubs in high schools, middle schools and grade schools and is the driving force behind the annual "Day of Silence" celebration of homosexuality in many districts, was handed a federal appointment where he will be responsible for overseeing "safety" in the nation's public schools.

At the time, Linda Harvey of Mission America, which educates people on anti-Christian trends in the nation, said it is nothing more than a "tragedy" for an open homosexual who has "had an enormously detrimental impact on the climate in our schools" to be in such a position.

The appointment of Kevin Jennings was posted – with little fanfare – on a government list of federal jobs recently. He was named by U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan to be the Assistant Deputy Secretary in the Office of Safe Schools.

He previously worked to raise money for the presidential campaign for President Obama.

In the new post, he'll be working on "safe schools" programs for educational institutions nationwide, said Harvey.

According to the AFA of Pennsylvania, Jennings supervised his organization during a time when it sponsored events featuring pornographic material at Brookline High School in Massachusetts in 2005, taught a session to school children on how to engaged in homosexual acts – a conference that became known as "Fistgate," and has used school children for political efforts during the group's "Day of Silence."

"Since Jennings was one of President Obama's fundraisers during his campaign, apparently this is payback time by giving Jennings access to America's impressionable children to further indoctrinate them that 'gay is okay,'" said Diane Gramley, president of the organization.

"Our schools are being used in a great social experiment and it's the children who are the guinea pigs," Gramley said.

Peter LaBarbera, of Americans for Truth About Homosexuality, said the appointment actually endangers youth, and urged Duncan to pull the nomination, "due to Jennings' vicious anti-religious bigotry and his role with an extremist homosexual group that has recklessly endangered youth."

It was the 2000 "Fistgate" scandal in which homosexual adults at a GLSEN-sponsored youth workshop "guided young teenagers on how to engage in perversions including the horrifying 'gay' fetish known as 'fisting," that convinced him Jennings is a danger, LaBarbera said.

"Kevin Jennings is one of the most hateful, anti-Christian 'queer' activists in America," LaBarbera described, citing Jennings use of obscenities to describe Christians.

"Barack Obama's homosexual agenda is beginning to take shape – but he has no election mandate to impose GLSEN's radical vision of celebrating homosexuality, bisexuality and gender confusion (transsexuality) in U.S. schools," LaBarbera said.

"Anti-religious bigots should not be setting policy for schools – and promoting dangerous sex and gender identities to youth is the antithesis of 'safety,'" he said.

According to the organization's research, it was in 1997 when GLSEN announced its goal of indoctrinating children starting in kindergarten.

There, Jaki Williams, a GLSEN activist, said, children at age five are "developing their superego."

"That's when the saturation process needs to begin," Williams said. "Five-year-olds really are very interested in the big questions. They're very interested in sex, death, and love, and they ask those questions, and they talk about them. And we want to help them find the answers."

According to Vision America, Jennings "has a long record of vocal opposition against Christian conservatives."

In March 2000, Jennings told an audience, "We need to ignore the hard-core bigots, get more of the hard-core fair-minded people to speak up, and we'll pull that 60 percent to our side … We have to quit being afraid of the religious right. I'm trying not to say 'F--- 'em!' which is what I want to say," the report said.

According to Peter Sprigg, a senior fellow for policy studies at the Family Research Council, Jennings' definition of a safe school is where homosexuality is actively affirmed.

He spoke with Greg Corombos of Radio America/WND in the following audio:

Jennings, who wrote the foreword for a book called "Queering Elementary Education: Advancing the Dialogue about Sexualities and Schooling," also gave a speech in which he told the "religious right" to "drop dead."

On Jennings' own website, a biographical sketch talks about how his work as an activist started when he used a school assembly in a district where he was a teacher to announce his homosexuality.

He soon started the GLSEN activist group and, the report said, "has spent the last 12 years building GLSEN into a national organization at the forefront of a bold movement that now works with over 3,000 Gay-Straight Alliances."

But a blogger who calls himself Beetle Blogger cited another statement from Jennings about his early promotion of homosexuality in schools.

The blogger quoted Jennings saying, "We immediately seized upon the opponent's calling card – safety – and explained how homophobia represents a threats to students' safety by creating a climate where violence, name-calling, health problems, and suicide are common. Titling our report, 'Making Schools Safe for Gay and Lesbian Youth,' we automatically threw our opponents onto the defensive and stole their best line of attack. This … short-circuited their arguments and left them back-peddling from day one."

Harvey said the appointment really is not surprising, given the pro-homosexual position adopted by Obama and Jennings' fund-raising for the Democrat.

But she warned when "safe" is combined with "LGBT" as is happening at the federal agency, "What you have is the silencing of any conservative opinion. That's what they consider safety."

"This is an outrageous 'in-your-face, take this, we don't care about your version of safety' for kids," she said.

Homosexual Activist/ Anti-Christian Bigot Appointed

By Peter J. Smith
6/4/2009

LifeSiteNews (www.lifesitenews.com)

Kevin Jennings is now Assistant Deputy Secretary for the Office of Safe & Drug Free Schools.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (LifeSiteNews.com) - Although President Barack Obama has advocated speaking "fair minded words" in debating differences on major ethical issues, his recent nominee to the Department of Education's Office of Safe & Drug Free Schools is a homosexual activist with a history of using foul and abusive language against those who have opposed his homosexualist agenda.

Kevin Jennings, the founder of the Gay, Lesbian, Straight Education Network (GLSEN), was recently appointed to the Obama Administration as Assistant Deputy Secretary for the Office of Safe & Drug Free Schools, which is under the Department of Education led by Education Secretary Arne Duncan.

During Jennings's tenure as the Executive director of GLSEN, the organization sponsored a Tufts University conference called "TeachOut" in March 2000. The conference was co-sponsored by the Massachusetts Department of Education; but the event has been described by pro-family organizations familiar with the conference as "fistgate" for its extremely graphic and detailed workshops to teenagers about the mechanics and variations of homosexual intercourse.

The Massachusetts watchdog group, MassResistance, includes on its website a number of graphic quotations from homosexual presenters, who instigated equally graphic conversations on homosexual sex with youth there. MassResistance says they will be releasing a tape of the event to the public later this week. (WARNING: extremely graphic content discussed here)

Around the same time, Jennings was quoted in Marble Collegiate Church as saying members of the "religious right" were "hard core bigots" who comprised about 20 percent of the electorate.

"We have to quit being afraid of the religious right. We also have to quit - I'm trying to find a way to say this. I'm trying not to say, 'F**k 'em!' which is what I want to say, because I don't care what they think!" Jennings told his audience, which pealed with laughter. "Drop dead!"

According to Americans for Truth, Jennings and GLSEN never repudiated the actions of homosexual activists at the "Teach Out" conference, but instead attacked Scott Whiteman, the Massachusetts parent who video-recorded the proceedings, for violating students' privacy.

"Anti-religious bigots should not be setting policy for schools - and promoting dangerous sex and gender identities to youth is the antithesis of 'safety,'" stated Peter LaBarbera, president of Americans for Truth.

"Jennings should have been drummed out of public policy years ago for GLSEN's role in the awful Fistgate scandal that corrupted Boston youth," LaBarbera stated. "But instead the GLSEN founder is now being elevated to one of the most important roles in U.S. education policy."

LaBarbera continued, "Americans For Truth will educate Americans on Jennings' and GLSEN's dangerous agenda, and we will work with other pro-family and parental rights groups across the country - and Obama voters who oppose pro-homosexual indoctrination in schools - to urge that the Jennings appointment be withdrawn."

DNC gay fundraiser starting to fall apart over rupture between Obama and gay community

by John Aravosis (DC) on 6/15/2009 07:30:00 PM

Note to our friends in the media. This is a story deserving a little national attention. It seems the Obama folks have gotten to the mainstream media - you'll note that practically none of the corporate media are covering the growing rupture between Obama and the gay community other than on their blogs, even after HRC sent probably the first chastising letter to a Democratic president since 1996 (and reporters always have told me in the past, it's not a story until HRC weighs in - well now they have, twice). Guess that means we'll just have to ramp up the pain.

Speaking of pain, top gay blogger Andy Towle contacted me today to let me know that this morning he contacted the DNC to let them know that he will no longer be attending their big gay fundraiser later this month with VP Joe Biden (yet another reason we like Andy and his blog). The DNC had planned to raise a lot of money from gay A-listers by coinciding this fundraiser with the 40th anniversary of Stonewall. Instead, the DNC may be about to witness Stonewall 2.0.

(Oddly, we've heard nothing in four days, since the DOMA brief scandal broke, from gay congressional leaders - Barney Frank, Tammy Baldwin, and Jared Polis - all of whom are hosting this rather ill-timed and inappropriate Democratic effort to milk money from our community at the same time Democrats are equating us with incest and not lifting a finger on any of our legislation priorities in Congress or the White House. It's not awfully clearly why any gay person would give a Democrat a dime ever again. Check back, we'll be updating you daily on whether Barney, Tammy and Jared ever decide to say boo about the hate brief and their role in this fundraiser that is quickly turning into a major fiasco for the Democratic party.)

Andy's announcement comes on the heel of word that veteran gay advocate, and longtime friend of Bill Clinton, David Mixner is pulling out the fundraiser as well. David wrote one hell of an essay this weekend about the hateful DOMA brief the Obama administration submitted late Thursday night. David is an amazing person. I met him for the first time when I was sitting in Senator Moseley-Braun's office, back in like 1993, waiting for a friend who worked there. David walked in for a meeting with someone, I recognized him, and walked up and introduced myself, and thanked him for standing up to President Clinton on Don't Ask Don't Tell. We talked for, what, 20 seconds? The next time I saw David was easily a good five years later. He immediately recognized me and said "I met you at Senator Moseley-Braun's office!" He is one scary dude. :-)

Here is a very long excerpt from David's essay:

You fully need to understand the ramifications of this brief: it undercuts every conceivable argument that the LGBT community would use to fight for the repeal of DOMA. Right-wing nut cases can now just simply quote horrible stuff from this hateful brief and proclaim loudly it was filed by the Obama Justice Department. The President and his team have not only undercut this community but have damaged his own ability to repeal this hideous law given to us by President Clinton. With Democratic friends like these, God helps us.

I will not attend a fundraiser for the National Democratic Party in Washington next week when the current administration is responsible for these kind of actions. How will they ever take us seriously if we keep forking out money while they harm us. For now on, my money is going to battles within the community such as the fight in Maine or the March on Washington! I am so tired of being told by Democratic operatives to 'suck it up' because so many other profound issues are at stake. It is as if our fight for our freedom is single handedly responsible for the fate of all other issues. Bullshit. Maybe, just maybe, it is time for others to 'suck it up' for us and finally, without conditions, join our fight for our freedom!

Just in case you think I am overreacting, take a look at a sampling of the reaction around the community in the previous post.. Even HRC and The Task Force issued strong statements against the brief and they are to be commended for doing so. Americablog.com broke the story and they deserve enormous credit for their excellence.

President Obama, even Dick Cheney is for marriage equality. Please don't try to placate us with actions already taken 16 years ago by President Clinton. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton might be able to help you find the way since she has already written a policy for your approval ending discrimination in her agency. This community is no longer interested in hearing one more time your personal beliefs that marriage is between a man and a woman. We want you to rise above your own beliefs and hear you articulate a powerful vision of full equality for LGBT Americans. You must come out for a full, not partial, repeal of DOMA and liberate our brave LGBT soldiers fighting to protect America in order to restore our faith in you and your leadership.

We want to believe; give us a reason.
