We are not outnumbered

Yes and another reason that conservative Americans must stand their ground,as stated by William Bigelow “ Obama has a history of jettisoning people once they have outlived their usefulness, this time it is the gay community.

He continues:

Here’s the kicker; realizing that some states are now endorsing gay marriage, Obama suddenly became a champion of states’ rights, asserting, “For us to try to legislate federally into this area is probably the wrong way to go.”

When the states endorse Obama’s positions, he’s a states’ rights guy. When they don’t, he runs roughshod over them with the federal government.

Obama continued on Friday:

First of all, I’ve been very clear about my belief that same-sex couples have to be treated before the eyes of the law the same way as heterosexual couples. I think that’s the right thing to do. It’s based on my personal experience, seeing loving couples who are committed to each other, raising kids and are just outstanding people. And I was supportive of civil unions, but they taught me, if you’re using different words, if you’re somehow singling them out, they don’t feel true equality.
Obama says he’s been very clear? About as clear as mud. In May he raked in huge amounts of funding from the gay community and their supporters in May when he endorsed gay marriage. But before that time he had been a veritable ping-pong ball on the issue, vacillating wildly to reach whichever position was politically advantageous at the time. In 1996, as a state senator in Illinois he supported gay marriage. Yet in 2004, when he ran for the United States Senate, he was against it, saying:

“What I believe is that marriage is between a man and a woman … What I believe, in my faith, is that a man and a woman, when they get married, are performing something before God, and it’s not simply the two persons who are meeting.”

Then when he ran for president in 2008, he took the middle road, supporting civil unions:

“My feelings about this are constantly evolving. I struggle with this. At this point, what I’ve said is, is that my baseline is a strong civil union that provides them the protections and the legal rights that married couples have.”

That statement came two months after he told liberal bloggers that he was “unwilling to sign on to same-sex marriage.”

The gay community won’t leave Obama over his sudden abandonment of championing their agenda at the federal level. But the absolute fickleness of this man and the insidious way he changes his positions in order to suit his ruthless pursuit of power should be frightening to any prospective supporters.

Obama has shown that compromise with him is futile. He will say whatever is necessary to achieve his objectives, not what is best for our country.

So hold firm conservative America we’ve accomplished so much since 2010 that the country club RINOs and demorat fear us. It may not seem that way with all the subterfuge thrown at us by the media and RINOs, but we are.

I met an Army Col. the other day who did a tour in Iraq. Black guy. It was clear from his comments about the election which way he voted-—for a man who has done more to undermine the U.S. military than anyone in the history of the office.
One of the things that ‘cannot be talked about’ is the shift in the mentality of blacks in the military. In the 60’s just before Viet Nam got really big blacks overwhelmingly picked combat arms. The 82nd AB was laughingly called the “all African’ division. many parachute infantry companies were 50% black. These people were almost uniformly highly patriotic and strongly anti-racist. Being able to serve in the combat arms was seen as a victory over racism as blacks had normally been relegated to what amounted to labor and chauffeuring duties when allowed to serve at all in the world wars. Today blacks in the Army cluster in the combat support or service support. The attitude is one of ‘getting over on the man’ by serving as far from danger as possible and using the Army as the path to an early pension. Many blacks in the Army are overtly or covertly racist. Blacks in the military in the Military District of Washington were given a free day for Calypso Louis Million Man Fraud and I particularly noted one of the captains who was generally thought of as a comer who came to the office in uniform to handle some matter and then changed into his ‘brother togs’ before leaving, he also was vocally joyous over O J Simpson's acquittal. Friends still in the service report that black street gangs have successfully planted members in all of the services but most in the Army for purposes of theft and possibly organizing permanent cells for future mischief. In short the presence of many of ‘Holder's people’ is not a source of strength in the armed forces but at best an encouragement to institutionalizing a life time of living off the government and at worst keeping a lot of people on the payroll who would be more than willing to help institute terrorization of the general populace under the cover of marshal law.

I got my prescription from the Albertson’s pharmacist.

He said “I didn’t even know who won the election until I came into work this morning.”

I said “Did your guy win?”

He said “Oh, I couldn’t care even less who won, I don’t pay attention to those things.”

Just shocked the hell out of me that a white-collar professional couldn’t be bothered to vote and couldn’t care less who wins.

Question: What in Hell is Steve Lopez babbling about? Telling the California GOP they need to purge the fire-breathing far-right knuckle-draggers from among their candidates is like telling the zoos around the state that they need to sell their unicorns. Sorry. In the real world, California Republicans aren’t running as fire-breathing far-right knuckle-draggers. Up and down the ballot, they’re running as reasonable, normal, practical, problem-solving people offering to work across party lines to solve the mess, just like Lopez wants. And up and down the ballot, they’re almost to a person getting pasted by the Democrats. I suppose Lopez might bring up Proposition 8 as an example par excellence of the knuckle-dragging stuff. The problem is that, again, in the real world, California voters approved Prop 8 at the same time they voted for Barack Obama. Awk. Ward.

Does the California GOP need to make changes? Yes. But it needs to make those changes based on what reality is telling them. And reality is telling them that Steve Lopez’ way (and Steve Schmidt’s way and Dave Frum’s way and a legion of other moderate Republican operatives’ way) doesn’t work.

Interesting on two counts. First, I think the officer in question was indeed in support ( but am not sure), and second, it is interesting that Jimi Hendrix was in the 82nd and until the las six months of his life spoke very positively about the Army, supported the Vietnam War, and only changed his views late (probably with the urging of his publicist).
