President Barack Obama has nominated a Georgetown University law professor, Chai R. Feldblum, to the Equal Employment Opportunity Council. Feldblum, a lesbian activist lawyer, formerly worked for the American Civil Liberties Union, the Human Rights Campaign Fund, and in the mid-1980s clerked for Justice Harry A. Blackmun, the author of Roe v. Wade.
Feldblum faces Senate confirmation hearings before she can assume her post at the EEOC. The significance of her nomination for Catholics is underscored by the EEOC's recent ruling that Belmont Abbey, a Catholic college, must provide coverage for contraception in its insurance plans for employees.
Feldblum's record gives every indication that she would agree with this decision. She argued in a recent paper, "Moral Conflict and Liberty: Gay Rights and Religion," that "once a religious person or institution enters the stream of commerce by operating an enterprise such as a doctor's office, hospital, bookstore, hotel, treatment center, and so on, I believe the enterprise must adhere to a norm of nondiscrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity."
Feldblum has a high public profile. She has gone on the record many times arguing that the state has an obligation to support relationships other than heterosexual marriage. In 2006, Feldblum signed a document titled "Beyond Same Sex Marriage: A New Strategic Vision for All Our Families & Relationships." This petition offers a "new vision" for securing governmental and institutional recognition of "diverse kinds of partnerships."
By signing this petition, Feldblum also expressed her support for polygamy: Among the stated "partnerships" the petition seeks to protect are "households in which there is more than one conjugal partner."
In a paper written for the "Moral Values Project" at the Georgetown Law School, Feldblum describes one kind of polygamous relationship the government should support: NSDPs, or "nonsexual domestic partners." She explains, "The state has an obligation to recognize and support these non-sexual domestic partnerships -- these 'moral units' of society -- as well as sexual relationships that offer care and support."
Feldblum's advocacy of the homosexual lifestyle is quite startling, given the fact that she teaches at a Catholic law school. As a matter of fact, she is seen in this video arguing not only that the government has a duty to promote homosexuality but also proclaiming, "Gay sex is morally good."
Since President Obama nominated Feldblum on September 15, his outreach to the homosexual community has rapidly accelerated. His keynote speech to the Human Rights Campaign on October 11 contained all the positions advocated by his EEOC nominee: "You will see a time in which we as a nation finally recognize relationships between two men or two women as just as real and admirable as relationships between a man and a woman."
Obama's declaration "to repeal the so-called Defense of Marriage Act and to pass the Domestic Partners Benefits and Obligations Act" reflects Feldblum's commitment to employ the power of government to encourage the growth of gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender social units, thus presenting a direct challenge to traditional marriage.
Her place on the five-person panel of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission will give Feldblum a powerful perch from which to pursue her "new strategic vision." No doubt religious businesses and institutions should be put on full alert for scrutiny of both their hiring practices and their benefits packages. If Feldblum's nomination is approved by the Senate, the case of Belmont Abbey may prove to be just the tip of the iceberg.
Another left wing nut! Obama has a seemingly endless supply of them.
He’ll fit right in with the other freaks, Marxists, America haters, tax cheats, Mao lovers, and nut cases in his administration.
Who knew there were so many. Can this guy find a nomal person?
Does the Mystery Man-in-Chief have ANY normal friends or associates?
No he only has Antichrist friends....
Affirmative action comes to its inevitable culmination.
Wonder if these folks make radical muslims' blood boil...
"Woe to those who call good evil and evil good."
For those who may have doubted the reports of the Lyin’ King’s marxist connections prior to the election......
WHAT DO YOU SAY NOW???????????????
Not one sane American in this entire Administration. How perverted is that? Our forefathers are rolling in their graves at warp speed.
Ali Obama and the 40 Czars.
The utter disgrace is that this stupid degenerate bitch is employed by what was once a Catholic college. Jesuits are the most corrupt and irredemable bunch in the Church these days - and I say that as sojeone who had 8 years of their education. Many years ago - beofre their seminaries became infested with queers. They were once respectable. I wouldn’t give one dime to either of their schools from which I graduated.
News Flash! The Big “O” is a puppet president. He is over his head and cannot keep up the act anymore. The left has exposed themselves and it isn’t pretty! America is waking up to this scam, and will reject their Un-American policies.
ENDLESS FREAK SHOW!!!!
But where does he stand on bestiality? Is he a bigot toward those parts of the country where men are men and sheep are nervous? During the election I noticed many posters for the One in the basements of black churches where they do the socialilzing after the services. Do they put up picturers of all the homosexual agenda advocates that the one likes to appoint? Is he building a new coaliton hfere of black evangelicals, NAMBLA and whatver that gay and lesbian group is called? Now that is really FDR.
Probably not one who wants his/her name associated with that bunch of two legged vermin.
Has Comrade Obama appointed or nominated any token normal folks? Or have they all been off the “U” shaped curve of nomal standards? So far, tax cheats, lobbiests, friends of terrorists, and extremist leftists if not outright Commies have been Obama’s choices. Not to mention his liking for racists and sexists.
Plus clear incompetents.
Interestingly, The Obammunist administration has publicly supported the Maoist preachings of the last two Communist appointments who were exposed.
The Kenyan figgers this is what Americans voted for.
yitbos
He left Robert Gates in the DoD and maybe one other. But it seems everyone else is to the left of Satan.
Hey, there are tons of good Jesuits colleges/universities around—they just don’t have national standing.
