In Face of Islamist Terror, Senate Bill Makes LGBT U.S. 'Foreign Policy Priority'
Breitbart's Big Peace ^ | June 17, 2014 | Austin Ruse

Posted on 06/17/2014 8:25:24 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

The world is on fire.

Libya is in chaos. Baghdad is about to fall to a new and toxic strain of Islamism. Syria is in civil war. Israeli teenagers have been kidnapped by terrorists.

Russia is expanding, taking over Crimea, threatening Ukraine. Russia and China have signed trade deals.

Violence between Buddhists and Muslims in Sri Lanka has lead to terror killings. Thailand has been taken over by a military junta.

Somali radicals have attacked a Kenyan town, killing dozens.

President Obama’s critics accuse him of being soft or absent from most of these conflicts and many others. They say the US has ceded its global leadership role.

One area where the US under Obama has not retreated, indeed has ramped up American pressure, is in the promotion of LGBT rights. He issued a 2011 Presidential Memorandum that did just that.

Senator Edward Markey of Massachusetts and 24 Democratic senators want to make this policy a part of U.S. law.

In legislation introduced last Friday, LGBT rights would become an official foreign policy priority of the United States and would include US training of “professional foreign military.”(continued)

It depends on whether Putin can get his tanks all the way to the Potomac or not...

America used to promote freedom and democracy around the globe. Now we actively promote deviancy and homosex. Via both our putrid, poisonous culture, and our corrupt, Obama-led government.

It’s become almost impossible for me to look at my own country, which for most of my adult years I would have readily died for, and not just want to vomit at the depraved cesspool it has now become.

It already is the most important concern for Obama's State Dept.

Front Page article on our Embassy web page in Norway:

US Embassy Celebrates LGBT Pride

And rainbow-colored gay stuff is probably the front page article on all our European embassy websites.

Probably not however for our Muslim country embassies, since submission to Islam is, of course, the highest ranking of all Left Wing pieties, outranking even the celebration of homosexuality.

Don’t know if you heard, but the Veteran’s Administrations priority is to “help protect our oceans”.

Yahoo News: “It’s Too Soon for the VA to Tweet About Oceans, Apparently”
http://news.yahoo.com/too-soon-va-tweet-oceans-apparently-214947832.html

This is Hegel’s Paradox. When your goal is conflict resolution, for it’s own sake and compulsively, then it’s always about procedure and that next conflict...and most importantly who choses the next conflict (LGBT or oceans or whatever) -even as everything else (the big stuff) crumbles around you. It is a means to occupy/divide in the present.

just what we need.

Gay liberal war mongering theocratic imperialism.

How can we legitimize distance from Islamic barbarism in the world with idiots like this.

"It’s become almost impossible for me to look at my own country,..."

Our country has been taken hostage by a hostile entity which is in control of the government. We must keep in mind the distinction between the two. The government is not the country, the country being comprised of We, the People.

This will lose every ally we have outside Europe and drive them to China and Russia.

It’s more than just the government. It’s the culture as well. Drenched in evil and depravity. If the American populace just quietly accepts insanity like fag-marriage being forced onto it, this is no longer a country I’ll ever be lifting a finger for.

Thank goodness I live in a country that has its priorities straight, promoting turd-burglary here and abroad. /s

What are they spending on this agenda? Oh who cares, money is like Doritos - they’ll just make more of it.

Apparently the majority of the sheeple wanted a gay advocate as potus. After all, gayness is the most important issue for the country.

Last year I was talking with a man from Germany. I remember feeling ashamed of my country. I have never in my life felt that way before.

And rainbow flags flying at our embassies in Spain and Israel. What a disgrace.

I know EXACTLY what you mean. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I could feel this way towards my country. But America has sunk to such depraved levels, that it really no longer seems to be remotely related to the America I knew and pledged allegiance to all my life.
