The Intolerant Hypocrisy of America's 'Tolerant' President
American Thinker ^ | 05/15/2014 | Jeannie DeAngelis

Thanks to Barack Obama’s inability to remain out of the sexual-political arena, once again the depths of liberal hypocrisy are revealed for all to see.

It began when openly gay award-winning Missouri defensive end Michael Sam was named St. Louis Ram’s 249th overall choice in the 2014 NFL draft.  Sam, the man with the two first names, felt compelled to publicly celebrate with his boyfriend Vito Cammisano.  In a video tight shot, surrounded by adoring family and friends, Mike and Vito recreated the customary wedding cake routine where the bride and groom stuff whipped cream into one another’s mouths and then partake of a messy, gooey lip lock.

Clearly thrilled beyond belief, via a White House statement, Barack Obama congratulated Michael Sam, the Rams, and the NFL for “taking an important step forward in our Nation's journey.”  After all, knowing Sam’s sexual preference is sure to have a huge impact on next year’s football season.

In what can only be described as a cheap paraphrase of Martin Luther King’s "not color of skin, but content of character" statement, Obama’s gay-football kudos included the following: “From the playing field to the corporate boardroom, LGBT Americans prove everyday [sic] that you should be judged by what you do and not who you are.”

Here’s the problem with that heartwarming sentiment: just days prior to Obama’s message to Michael, real-estate expert David Benham and his twin brother Jason’s fixer-upper show Flip it Forward, which was due to premier in October, was canceled by Home and Garden TV because a left-wing activist group exposed the brothers, calling them “anti-gay extremists.”

Who knew that an important step forward in our nation’s journey was having openly homosexual football players?

What’s next, as the LGBT peoples continue the journey? Will we soon see football players who have had sex change operations?

Truly an amazing time—The NFL and the NBA committing suicide in the public arena.

...Don’t forget
I’m tolerant of every depravity and lie, but intolerant of righteousness and Truth.
