Lay off Obama!

I am not the hugest Obama fan, I was vying for Hillery but I when it came down to it I voted for him over the other guy. What I don't get is all these people who apparently expect him to be God. It took Bush 8 years to run this country into the ground! (8 years we gave him by the way) Obama has been our commander in chef for a little over a month. yes, our economy is still in the crapper! Yes, we are still in Iraq! No, we don't have marriage equality yet! No, DADT has not been over turned! Give the guy time to breath. He has just been given the task of running our entire screwed up country,let him at least pick out a dog before you expect him to wave his magic wand and pull billions of dollars out of his ass! I have actually been impressed with the progress he has made. He has already put a new stimulus plan in place, sorta kinda pined a date for pull out of Iraq, and been talking with officials about the repeal of DADT. And for those of you who are jumping the man for wanting to have a plan for DADT repeal, as a out and proud lesbian I say this, Shut the fuck up! Its more then any one else has ever done for us! Remember its a law people! Even the president does not have the power to repeal it just like that, there are channels for that kind of thing. We have a President not a King. A president that would like to be re-elected in 4 yeas. Personally I think having a plan in place for the inevitable social up roar over DADT's repeal is smart, and if it means that all those soldiers will have to wait a few more months or god for bid a year before they can pin a rainbow to there uniforms then so be it. Cut the guy some slack. If you think you could do it so much better then save up some doe and put your name on the ballet in 4 years. Till then sit down and shut up till we see what he can do!

Convicted Killers Chosen over Gays

It is no secret that the US army and The Marine Corps have been under pressure to raise their numbers because of the Iraq war, So, what have they been doing about it? Increasing the number of convicted felons into the ranks. The Army more than doubled its felon admittance, while the Marines admittance of convicted felons went up by 1/3. Most of the crimes related to the admittances where burglaries and drug offences, but several dozen involved aggravated assault and weapons charges. In addition 9 involved sex crimes, and 6 involved manslaughter.
While the armed forces are hurting so bad for troops they have to go picking through the slum, it does not stop them from discharging 2 people EVERY DAY for being gay or lesbian. In the 10 years that “don’t ask don’t tell” has been in place more then 10,000 personal have been discharged as a result; including 800 deemed “mission critical” such as pilots, combat engineers, and linguists. A study conducted last year indicated that the military could enlist 41,000 new recruits if they lifted the ban put in place by DADT but instead they prefer to let murders defend our great nations freedoms. Better a killer then a homo.

Internet Scammers Getting Desprite

I was the intended victim of a check fraud scam this morning. I had been contacted through a website about my services as a nanny and asked to work a wedding the evening of April 26th. Once the “wedding planner” (went by the name of David Edward) and I agreed on a fee, he told me I would receive a check in the male shortly covering my costs. Later that week he Emailed me and told me there had been a complication with the check. He said the groom had miss understood and sent me a check for not only my expenses but also the money that was supposed to be for the wedding planner. He then asked if I would mind kindly depositing the check and whirring him his portion of the money so that he was able to pay the proper people. I said I would be happy to send him his portion of the money when I received the check, and I had every intention of doing so, until the check actually came. The check was mailed via UPS and I was forced to go an pick at a local office. Upon arriving I was told that my delivery was still out on the truck and that I would have to come back later, but as I was walking out the door a lady handed me a phone and said this is for you. Now who could be calling me at a UPS? It was there director of security. He promptly told me that he apologized for the dishonesty but they had the check in question but that there was a problem. It was a fake. My package had a rived along with a number of other fraudulent checks and so had been open and verified. They found it was made under a closed account. Upon my inspection of the check I noticed the hand writing did not match, the paper was incredibly thin, and the names and states on check, envelope, and initial Job inquiry where all different. I was grateful to UPS for being on the look out and headed directly to the Belleville Police Department to file a report.

Freedom of Expreshion meet Stupidity...

OK any one who has ever even seen me on the street knows I am all for freedom of expression but come on people, use your heads! There is a war going on people in case you hadn't heard, and it is with a Muslim nation! I know i just posted like a few hours ago but this got to me. Dutch Government Raises Terror Level Ahead Of Film Slamming Quran As Violent, Anti-Gay, Anti-Female I am not Muslim, I am not Christian, i am all for freedom of speech and slamming who ever and what ever you want, but tell me this: What goes threw your head when you decide it is a good idea to release a 15 min film all about the Qur'an being "'fascist' because it is used by extremists to incite violence and preaches oppression of women and gays."

First of all if your going to make a movie that's going to put you on the terrorist hot list why don't you get your facts strate! Why die for a bogus cause? The Qur'an is not the enemy any more then the Bible is. Extremists will take anything and turn it around to mean what ever they want it to, it does not make it true. There are people that believe the Bible says women are only meant to be wives but I have yet to find that passage. Any way all I am saying is if your going to use your freedom to be stupid maybe you don't deserve it!

Its Up to Michigan for Once and Florida Again

So we're coming up on the final stretches of the 2008 presidential primaries and the Democratic spot is still up for grabs. Clinton is trailing Obama by a slim margin and is looking to us for help. Clinton Won the Michigan and Florida primaries but the national party refuses to count our votes because we went against policy and held the elections early. Now that the election is so close both Michigan and Florida governors are teaming up to make sure there delegates are seated at the convention.

A compromise is being mulled over between the states and the national party. The thought of a do-over election is being purposed, where the out come would be honored. Both Clinton and Obama have said they would be willing to participate in the do over elections. Michigan's Governor Granholm is considering a kind of "firehouse" election instead of a traditional primary or caucus. The Firehouse election would have fewer polling stations and shorter voting hours, significantly cutting down on cost. Florida Governor Crist, says he would be willing to hold another primary but only if the Democratic national party foots the bill. Crist, says Florida tax payers should not have to pay for the Chance to have there votes counted again. the estimated cost for Florida to re hold their primary is $25 million.

Candidates for Gay rights?

Huckabee: On his final stretch of campaigning before the Christmas holiday, Huckabee underlined his lifelong opposition to abortion and gay marriage, issues that will likely drive many churchgoers to the Jan. 3 caucuses in Iowa. He spent Saturday traveling the western edge of Iowa, the most conservative part of the state, where Romney and another rival, former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson, campaigned late last week. "It's not because I don't like them," Huckabee said of gay people. "It's because I like even more the idea that the heart and soul, the essence of our civilization is in the family. It's not in the government. It's not even in some institution, not even the church. Before there was the church, and before there was government, there was family. "When you mess with the design, you end up messing with results," he added. "We can't afford to do that. That's why you will never hear me waver."

How does that make any cense? Has he ever taken a history class? If he is going to make reference to pre-Christian history someone should remind this guy that before the church declared it a sin homosexuality was not only excepted in most cultures but expected in some.


Bill Richardson: As Governor, Bill Richardson has expanded anti-discrimination laws to include sexual orientation, signed into law the state's first hate crimes legislation for acts including those based on sexual orientation, and provided state health insurance for domestic partnerships. He supports domestic partnerships and worked hard to secure them in New Mexico in a special session this year. His legislation failed by only one vote and he will fight for domestic partnerships again in the next legislative session.

He says he supports equal rights but yet he voted for the defense of marriage act. So what else has he lied about?

Barack Obama: “I was reminded that it is my obligation not only as an elected official in a pluralistic society, but also as a Christian, to remain open to the possibility that my unwillingness to support gay marriage is misguided,” Obama wrote in his recent memoir, The Audacity of Hope. On a recent interview he did come out in suport for cival unions in a underhand kind of way.

He ought to know, as a civil rights attorney, that granting LGBTQ Americans only the right to civil unions violates our full constitutional right. Not to mention the “Ex-gay” speaker he had at one of his fundraisers was in really poor tastes.

Rudy Giuliani: Rudy Giuliani believes marriage is between a man and a woman. He does not -- and has never -- supported gay marriage. But he believes in equal rights under law for all Americans. That's why he supports domestic partnerships that provide stability for committed partners in important legal and personal matters, while preserving the sanctity of marriage between a man and a woman.

Equil right but not equil marage… sound like theres a bit of confusion on the definition of the word Equil to me. He supported Gay rights in New York signing domestic partnerships into law but now he says he would not suport it on a federal leval. Is he sidestepping to get elected? I, for one, am not willing to take that chance no matter what he did in New York.

So is there any candidate who stands up for gay rights on every level with out sidestepping or compromising? Yes, one. Any body know who it is? No its not Hillary.

Mike Gravel: supports same-sex marriage and oppose both the Defense of Marriage Act and the military's 'Don't Ask Don't Tell' legislation. In his own words: (As to same-sex marriage:) “This country – and this world – needs more love. Love trumps morality, morality trumps politics.”

I could not have said it any better my self. To bad he is last in the pools and I have yet to find someone who has even heard of him. But that’s the way it goes I guess stand up firm for something rather than going with the flow and you get shot down. It would be cool if we could change the flow of things though don’t you think? I encourage any one reading this to forward it to every one you know (even people you don’t ha ha) let see if this really is the internet age!
