It’s been reported this week that, as he did with his Inaugural inclusion of anti-homosexual Rev. Rick Warren (and as I figured), President Obama has thrown gays ‘under the bus,’ as the saying goes. In the wake of the furor over theocrat Rev. Warren’s participation in the swearing-in of the nation’s new president, the administration leaked that they were considering allowing gays in the military, which recalls the last time a liberal Democratic president disavowed gays when Bill Clinton instituted the irrational and unjust ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ policy of dishonesty and repression. Now comes word that change will not occur. Apparently, Obama represents change from partial theocracy to more theocracy. Unlike President Harry Truman, who racially integrated the United States Army (and dropped the atomic bomb, twice) without hesitation, Obama favors more of the same irrational ideas in government. Gays are not a demonstrable threat to our military’s proper purpose—defense of the nation—and improper conduct is already prohibited. Gays, and all Americans, who were silent while the vile Rev. Warren basked in Obamamania aided an ominous threat to their own individual rights.
Speaking of Obama, I think his proposed spend-u-lus scheme is a disaster that will lead us toward economic Depression. Though Judeo-Christian socialist Republicans during the Bush administration caused this recession with their own Big Government schemes, Obama and the Democrats are making matters worse—and inflammatory talk radio host Rush Limbaugh is a lone voice of opposition. This Obama seems to grasp, singling Rush out for criticism—an alarming statement of opposition to a broadcaster from the nation’s top government official—and leading to an interesting segment on MSNBC’s Hardball, which aired an advertisement denouncing Rush as the leader of the Republican Party. On this issue, whatever the actions of Republicans, who stand for nothing, Rush has tapped the public’s opposition to National Socialism (bailouts, TARPs, nationalization of banks).
Hardball host Chris Matthews, who continues to speak his indepdendent mind, is exploring the possibility of making a movie based on his 1997 Free Press book about the 1960 Kennedy-Nixon presidential debate, according to what I’ve heard through the grapevine. Of course, MSNBC is part of NBC Universal, which—until that business, too, is nationalized by the state or restricted from exercising its right to free speech—makes what are often good movies through its Universal Pictures studio. One of those movies is director Ron Howard’s outstanding Frost/Nixon.
