New York Young Republicans Censor Article on Gay Flag Flying At U.S. Embassies
TCS News ^ | July 12, 2014 | William Michael

Nevermind for the moment that I have been posting – for the last year or so – sourced, circumstantial evidence that the United States has a dirty deal with Qatar and the Muslim Brotherhood, and by extension, IS[IS]. Nevermind that I provided sourced evidence that NATO contracts with heroin smugglers for the Taliban, through the Pakistani National Logistics Cell.

I was asked by the President of this club to self-censor, and remove the article. I received an email requesting this, but was not near a computer. By the time I got home, at which point I could respond to the email (in fact my phone had died on the way back), the New York Young Republican Club had removed the article.

It doesn’t matter. It had been reproduced on websites like Business Insider and Talking Points memo. Removing the article from the YR blog served no purpose except to self-censor. In a more normal time, we’d call that cowardly behavior.

Even if one accepts that promoting homosexuality is either a key foreign policy interest of the USA or that it is a just cause (neither of which I personally accept), are we really to believe that the UK and Germany are oppressing homosexuals? Why does homosexuality need promoting in Europe? Give me a break! Not only is this wrong, it is a waste of money in Europe at least.

This is the state-party-affiliated YR club, correct? I see “com” at the end of the address, not “org.”

Yes, this is the State affiliated party. In the same state (to say nothing of the City) where the party can’t win an election.

It’s just our charming administration, showing the world how enlightened they are. Taking “in your face” to the international level.
