SENATOR CLINTON IN UNPUBLICISED SPEECH TO GAY ADVOCACY GROUP.
HRC posting to YouTube ^ | Human Rights Campaign

Posted on 03/06/2007 2:53:37 AM PST by angloamericanus

Quick summary of the YouTube speech:

Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton told the nation's leading gay rights group in an unpublicized speech that she wants a partnership with gays if elected president. Clinton also said she opposes the ''don't ask, don't tell'' policy regarding gays in the military that was instituted during her husband's presidency. ''I am proud to stand by your side,'' Clinton said in a keynote speech Friday to the Human Rights Campaign. Neither Clinton's campaign nor her Senate office made any announcement that she would be making the Friday address.

In the speech Clinton joked that she shares the same initials as the group and pledged to maintain the same close working relationship that last year helped defeat the federal constitutional amendment that would have banned same-sex marriage.

Senator Clinton said it would be safer for the nation if openly gay soldiers, sailors, marines, and airmen could wear the uniform. ''This policy doesn't just hurt gays and lesbians, it hurts all our troops, and this to me is a matter of national security and we're going to fix it,'' Clinton said.

She also referred to her support of Civil Unions, Gay Adoption Rights and ENDA (Employment Non-Discrimination Act) which has religious groups worried about freedom of speech issues.

My take is that a Clinton presidency would be a radical and agenda-driven administration; but does running a gay rights supporting Republican against her make any sense either?

While I think that someday it may be possible to do away with "Don't ask, don't tell", that day isn't even a blip on the horizon. And I can honestly say that it isn't for anti-gay reasons, it was just that because it was an issue for some people, it broke down unity and created a lot of problems on many differant levels.

Nope.

And that is why we have the big commotion over Ann Coulter's comment at CPAC: There was a candidate who dresses up as a girl and lived with two homosexuals...

''This policy doesn't just hurt gays and lesbians, it hurts all our troops, and this to me is a matter of national security and we're going to fix it,'' Clinton said.

She ever asked the troops if this hurts them? I'd be surprised if they said, "yes".

Also, the only way gays could affect our national security is if they are anti-American to begin with or were being extorted to keep from being outted.

So glad to know hitlery isn't concerned about gays and lesbians as much as she's concerned about our troops.

I believe her!

That was an enlightening speech. Replacing our troops with flaming homosexuals. Giving children to homosexuals to raise and do with as their own. Redefining marriage as any combination genders that may or may not be physically compatible. Criminalizing Judeo-Christian freedom of religious belief in regard to homosexual behavior. (Where have I heard all those proposed policies before?) She should put an R behind her name. She could commandeer almost half of Rudy's supporters on this site alone.

Seems to me that a lot of folks have transferred their Bush Derangement Syndrom to Rudy Derangement Syndrome.

Yes, the new Rosie O'Donnell wing of the Republican party who equate the Christians with the Taliban...

Some of these people must be a real snooze at Halloween. I wonder how many of the "I hate Rudy because he wore a dress crowd" are fans of Monty Python, Jack Lemmon, Flip Wilson, Harvey Korman, Shakespear, Benny Hill, and the Hasty Pudding Theater Group where many well-known politicans from both sides of the isle launched their careers in drag.

Let me make it simple for you. Rudy was promoting the homosexual agenda. He could have done that in a suit and tie, boxer shorts, or any other attire. Or no attire at all for that matter. He chose a dress. He wasn't emulating any great comedians for a worthy cause. He was promoting the "rights" of homosexuals, to be rewarded for behaviors that normal people cannot tolerate. So the pictures of him promoting the homosexual agenda show him doing just that, in the attire he chose. Would you prefer that the pictures of him at one of the 9/11 funerals should represent his support for the homosexual agenda? That wouldn't make much sense.
