The liberal PC crowd is so quick to jump into something like a gay nightclub becoming a death scene at the hand of an Islamic terrorist and offering financial support.

Did they do anything to offer financial support to the thousands of people in Texas who have been flooded out of their homes in recent weeks? No.

Watched the Rangers at Oakland game. Oakland had a large bunch of LGBTs on the field before the game to pass along the ball that would be used for the ceremonial first pitch.

Camera shot also showed the US flag at half-mast and a rainbow flag below. .....Sick!

Also, read earlier here on FR that Obama had ordered the US flags on all embassies to be flown at half-mast.

Wasn’t there a tornado in Alabama a few years ago and didn’t a liberal mock the victims by mentioning God?
