Kevin Jennings' Theory: 20% of Americans Are "Staunch Bigots"
Clearly Kevin Jennings is no source of sound opinion, nor reasoned perspective. Here he is yet again, name-calling and insulting Americans while he's pushing triple-x=rated material for kindergarten-age children.

"If you are feeling undone by recent events -and that is not unreasonable- do yourself a favor and read the whole message, which is not long, and then marvel at how well the Creator attends to his creation, providing the perfect teacher at the perfect time. Pray in thanksgiving, seeking wisdom.
Do not let a good crisis “go to waste;” put it through the wringer of faith, and see what comes.
And, in the words of the angels, and of Benedict’s holy predecessor: Do not be afraid."

EXCLUSIVE: Democratic donors rewarded with W.H. perks by DNC & Barack Obama
A senior party official involved in devising the DNC program, who spoke only on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the press, said the party took pains to design it so access to senior officials would be tightly controlled. Supporters would have the chance to meet party leaders. But the DNC wanted to rule out requests to pair donors with officials on specific issues. The paramount objective, the official said, was to avoid putting party leaders in the position of being asked to deliver on a specific request. == Rewards for those who supported the president's 2008 campaign have been doled out in less formal ways. Two top bundlers, for instance, described invitations to bring their families to the private bowling alley at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, adjacent to the White House. Both spoke on the condition they not be named because they did not want to damage their relationship with the White House. == The White House said such invitations could have come through any of scores of staff members, and could have occurred without any input from the president or his senior aides. == In interviews, top Obama donors described different methods for arranging such perks. Some said they contacted Reggie Love, the president's personal assistant, to request appointments or White House access. Others said they arranged meetings through regional finance directors at the DNC. ==//== The courtship of top donors is overseen by Rufus Gifford at the DNC in consultation with White House political director Patrick Gaspard, party officials confirmed. Their activities are not new to presidential politics. But they offer a contrast to the public face of the president's fundraising operation, which has always focused on its efforts to reach out to grass-roots supporters who send small-dollar donations through the Internet. ==//== Top White House advisers told about 25 DNC donors in Los Angeles to remember that Mr. Obama "has been counted down or out and surprised people" before, said one bundl
Krauthammer's Take - NRO Staff - The Corner on National Review Online
"On former Vice President Cheney’s criticism of Obama’s foreign policy: The history of this decision [on Afghanistan] is less important than the fact that the president is agonizing in public. A president ought to think long and hard about a strategy about war. There is nothing wrong with that.
But agonizing in public, leaving allies hanging — as we saw in the NATO meeting today, where all the others are waiting to hear what the United States is going to do — leaving the Afghans hanging, leaving everybody in Pakistan hanging … is a mistake."
Obama plays more golf in 9 months than Bush did in nearly three years...

Analysis of Ordinance 1856
"Will the ordinance create "special rights" based on sexual conduct?\n\nYes, it would, and it would infringe on the Constitutionally guaranteed rights of others. Homosexuality is a lifestyle choice, not a physical characteristic. There is NO EVIDENCE of genetic predisposition to homosexuality. Bi-sexuality is also a choice. Adding "gender identity" to laws dangerously legalizes an individual's delusional proclamation that they are a sex that reality does not support." ==//== What happens if this discriminatory ordinance passes?
In Ordinance 1856, discrimination is defined as being based on someone’s actual or perceived sexual orientation or gender identity…in conduct or communication …creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive environment. The city will investigate, at taxpayers’ expense, complaints that allege discrimination in housing, employment and access to public accommodation, based on characteristics that include gender identity and sexual orientation.
The ambiguous phrase, “. . . creating an . . . offensive environment” is particularly troublesome from a legal perspective. As used in this provision, this phrase is so vague that it is impossible for any reasonable person to discern permissible from prohibited expression. When, as here, ambiguous language prevents notice of what constitutes prohibited conduct, accusers (and sympathetic authorities) arbitrarily define the prohibited conduct after the commission of the act. Thus, the actions prohibited by this ordinance depend on the whim of an accuser’s personal feelings, rather than on a clearly expressed rule of law articulated in the language of the ordinance. That would be like defining the speed limit as ‘reasonable’, and ticketing one person for driving 65 mph, and another for driving 45 mph, simply because to the officers involved, the speeds were, in their opinions, ‘unreasonable.’
Pelosi: Health care 'public option' needs new name
Tricky, slippery Leftwing word-manipulation intended to confuse and deceive.
Bush vindicated during visit to city
"Most telling was the early 20s woman who looked shocked, visibly open-mouthed, as she confessed how confused she was by what she had expected and how impressed she was by the experience.
For those who either admired president Bush throughout his term or thought there was something more substantive underneath the hatchet jobs of Hollywood and the Beltway, vindication is a good word. Things aren't always as they seem. You were right all along about George W. Bush."
Glenn Beck - Current Events & Politics - Obama - More Contradictions
"PRESIDENT OBAMA: What I reject is when some folks say we should go back to the past policies when it was those very same policies that got us into this mess in the first place.
GLENN: Okay. So he rejects folks who are just sitting on the sidelines rooting for failure. What is your definition of folks on the sidelines? Who are they? Am I a folk on the sideline because I feel like I'm kind of on the front lines. Are the tea partygoers, are they folks on the sidelines? Because they're doing things they've never done before. Then he reels off healthcare, energy, and the economy. Those are huge issues that threaten to fundamentally transform our country, as he has admitted he's planning to do, and we're not supposed to have any input at all? No, no, no, we're not. Because again right after saying that he welcomes strong and loyal opposition with different ideas and challenging assumptions, he immediately rejects all of that because your ideas got us here in the first place. So he's under no obligation to hear from you whatsoever.
Any idea that is not a progressive idea is the one that got us into the mess. But what he and no college professor will ever tell you is the ideas that got us here in the first place are the progressive ideas. They are the ideas that started with Teddy Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson, the progressive ideas that were pitched and implemented by both the Republicans and the Democrats. The progressive ideas that came from the Fed. The progressive ideas that have gone from John McCain, both Bushes, Ted Kennedy, and Senator Obama. For years. He was and is apparently happy to entertain ideas not from tea partygoers because their ideas got us here. But he is happy to entertain ideas from Van Jones, a communist. Anita Dunn whose favorite political philosopher is Chairman Mao, one of the two people she turns to most. He will listen to Mark Lloyd, a fan of Hugo Chavez, a revolution in Venezuela! He will entertain the radical thoughts of John Holdren and Cass Sunstein, Carol Browner, Ron Bloom, but not a
Obama's 'Chicago-style politics:' Boehner: The Swamp
"And now House Republican Leader John Boehner says the White House's attack tactics are nothing short of "Chicago-style politics.''
"The White House and congressional Democrats know that their liberal special-interest agenda is not very popular,'' Boehner (R-Ohio) said at his weekly press briefing on Thursday. "And now they are following a familiar pattern: when you can't win an argument based on the facts, launch vicious political attacks.
"This Chicago-style politics is shutting the American people out and demonizing their opponents,'' Boehner asserted.
"They are writing the health care bill in secret, even though the president called for all of this to be out on an open table and have C-SPAN cameras in the room,'' he said. "Instead, Democrats are targeting those who don't fall immediately in line - the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, doctors, Fox News."
PRUDEN: Obama's Third World press rant - Washington Times
"Thomas Jefferson despised newspapers, with considerable justification. They printed libels and slanders about him that persist to the present day. Yet he famously said that if he had to choose between government without newspapers and newspapers without government, he would cheerfully choose to live in a land with newspapers (even not very good ones) and no government."
