Homosexual Advocates Go After The Clintons & Both Hillary And Obama Are Caught Embellishing Their Résumés
Source: HotAir.com; Bill Clinton Shows Strain on MTV
This is more evidence that the Clintons are most interested in practicalities and political expediency as a means of extending their own political careers and acquiring power and are not guided by any sort of core principles on which they won't compromise. Niccolò Machiavelli could have used the Clintons as a case study when writing Il Principe (The Prince).
Remember when Clinton told pro-life protesters that their views weren't politically expedient? (See: Video: Bill Clinton Lashes Out At Pro-Life Students from Franciscan University at Steubenville)
Clinton Quote:
“If you were really pro-life, if you were really pro-life, you would want to put every doctor and every mother as an accessory to murder in prison. And you won't say you want to do that because you know that because you know that you wouldn't have a lick of political support,” he added.
Doesn't that statement make it clear that, for Bill Clinton, the bottom line is what is presumed to be popular opinion, regardless of whether or not the opinion is well-informed or even accurate, and can therefore generate political support? He doesn't care about what abortion actually involves, what supporting abortion really involves (supporting the deliberate taking of innocent, developing, unborn human life), or the moral reasoning behind opposition to abortion. He only cares about something that can get political support.
If you're out hunting deer and you see something moving in the brush that could be a deer but might also be a human being, you can't just shoot at whatever is moving in the brush. You can only shoot it if you are certain it is not a human being. Shooting without certain knowledge that you aren't risking taking a human life is to be indifferent to whether or not your choice ends up killing an innocent human being.
The same principle applies with abortion, where even pro-abortion advocates admit uncertainty about the humanity of the developing life.
None of that matters to Bill, though. He only cares about what the polls say the people want.
That's why Clinton, when challenged by those agitating for homosexual rights, defended federalism. He did so, not because he believes in federalism, but out of political expediency, dismissing requests that he take a stand on the liberal principles Clinton professes and fight for his beliefs. What beliefs? Clinton reminds me of John Lennon's song, God, where Lennon lists a load of things he doesn't believe in, adding at the end, "I just believe in me – Yoko and me." I see Bill Clinton the same way. He just believes in himself, and Hillary (as an extension of himself). [Incidentally, friends say Lennon's litany of disbelief wasn't entirely true, because Lennon actually "believed in all of it" – trying to cover all bases.]
The Clintons won't fight for homosexual "marriage", not because Bill and Hillary don't want homosexuals to "marry" one another, but rather, because Bill and Hillary know there is an overwhelming mandate against "gay" marriage. Clinton even cites the amendment proposals that were on ballots across the country in 2004 as evidence that "gay" marriage is not something most people want. Ann Coulter made the same point in an interview with Matt Lauer: Ann Coulter on the Today Show – June 6, 2006.
Meanwhile, Hillary has problems of her own:
It's no secret that the Clintons (particularly Bill, but also Hillary) tell lies, convincingly and with ease on a regular basis. It's not even news. The real news, as Rush Limbaugh pointed out on yesterday's show, is that the mainstream media is actually calling them on it. The Clintons have been used to softball questions and special treatment from liberals in the mainstream media (which is a longer way of describing the mainstream media) . [Side note: In a Townhall Magazine Q&A, ABC's John Stossel recently revealed, "I came in as a liberal, and I was trying to be what I thought was objective. I certainly did not do the point-of-view reporting as I do now. I'm the, to my knowledge, lone libertarian in the mainstream media, and I take some heat for that. To my knowledge there are zero conservatives...on the networks."]

The media is turning on the Clintons. They aren't getting free passes anymore. Who would have thought that could happen? Apparently, many in the media have been swooning over Obama and are essentially in the tank for him. Perhaps they think Obama has a better chance. They probably realize the Clintons are vulnerable, but who would have thought liberals would turn on the Clintons and start saying the same things conservatives have been saying about them for over a decade? (See: It Wasn't Derangement After All and Hillary being treated like Republican by media)

Additionally, Barack Hussein Obama is being exposed for associating with suspected criminals, race-baiting conspiracy theorists (see: Obama adviser and former Army Chief of Staff, Tony McPeak: War the fault of American Jews), and supporting an Afrocentric, America-hating, "Christian" church.
Rush Limbaugh: Democrats Are Cracking Up Under the Pressure of Operation Chaos
Democrats are attacking one another. James Carville compared Bill Richardson to Judas and Carville has refused to apologize. Chelsea Clinton was even questioned about Monica Lewinski as she campaigned for her mother.

Obama supporters may enjoy the fact that the media is exposing Hillary's serial lies (she told the story of ducking snipers at least four times), but Obama's not immune from criticism in that area: Both Obama And Clinton Embellish Their Roles
Quote:
Obama made another claim that was greeted with disbelief in some corners of Capitol Hill. On March 13, Dodd, the chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, and Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.), chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, unveiled legislative proposals to allow the Federal Housing Administration to guarantee new loans from banks willing to help homeowners in or approaching foreclosure. Obama and Clinton were in Washington for a day-long round of budget voting, but neither appeared at the housing news conference.Yet Obama on Monday appeared to seek top billing on Dodd's proposal.
"At this moment, we must come together and act to address the housing crisis that set this downturn in motion and continues to eat away at the public's confidence in the market," Obama said. "We should pass the legislation I put forward with my colleague Chris Dodd to create meaningful incentives for lenders to buy or refinance existing mortgages so that Americans facing foreclosure can keep their homes."
Dodd did say that Obama supported the bill, as does Clinton. But he could not offer pride of authorship to the candidate he wants to see in the White House next year.
So Hillary can't remember whether or not she had to dodge bullets and run for cover during her trip to Bosnia (she says, “I was sleep-deprived”, and she says it means she's "human", but would you forget whether or not you had to run for cover from snipers?) and Obama can't remember whether or not he authored a bill, and both of them want to be President of the United States?
Any thoughts?


It was actually nice to see young people unaffected by Bill Clinton's bullying tactics ("Let me ask you!" comment). She repeated her question three times and demonstrated that he had no desire to set the record straight. And Bill stayed on the defensive.
I'm sure no democrats supported amendments against gay-lebian marriage when many of them got 70-80% support.
It's so good to see Bill finally getting his. And you're so right, it all smacks of political posturing and gaming--no core values to speak of...which is why he and she are losing now.

"Any thoughts?"
Yeah. They're successful politicians.
Sad.

Hi Folks;
I am a fully heterosexual middle aged adult male, however, I absolutely despise the insults, mockery, humiliation, and stigma that homosexual folks endure day in and day out. Face it, their sexual orientation is no more their choice than my admiration of the beautiful female figure and personality is my choice.
As a Catholic, I am mindful that sacred scripture states that active homosexual behavior is wrong, but so also is heterosexual fornication, adultery, passionate necking and petting out side of marraige, artificial contraception, and the sin of masturbation, oral sex and the like. We as professional Catholics, and I have seen it happen time and time again, often allow homosexual persons to be very wrongly derided as queers, homos, and other cruel labels with callous disregard.
Another sad reality is the insults that the mentally ill face from just about every social economic class and even by members of the Roman Catholic Priesthood. Mental illness is far, far too often viewed as a sign of a previous personally sinful lifestyle, demonic posession or demonic obsession as well as the common buzz word demonic oppression.
Worse yet, I have known persons with well treated and controlled mental disorders that are functioning at a very high level who were turned away from the candidacy for the prisethood and religious life because of the current Vatican Rules regarding so called impedements to the Priesthood, Deaconate, and Religious life.
These persons with treated psychiatric disorders seem to be told that they should consider the married life presumably because of some perverted outmoded Fruedian spiritual existententialism that wants to view all of human psychic life in terms of sexuality.
I have personally worked with Catholic Folks with mental disorders who have had to deal with the humiliating comments made by mental health workers wherein, when upon bringing up their desire to remain single or celebate, they are derided as being not whole, not fully human, out of touch,etc. behind their backs. Well excuse me, is some mentally ill person who wants to make some good come of his or her life by desiring to live beyond the call of duty as a celebate person and who has stuggled in the past with very prolonged and dehumanizing psychotic eposodes that often make the suffering of those who have been the victims of allegded government hallucinagenic drug experiments seem like a walk in the park on a sunny day, also not fully human. I would have to say that these persons exibit more humanity in their life's cross than some pompous vocation directors who upon interveiw them, often seem to just want the mentally ill person go away. In short, they seem to really not even care.
Folks, modern brain science has essentially proven the no-fault physiological basis of major mental disorders. For existential, Fruedian, psychologicalist mental health care workers to demean these persons as not being sexually integrated or to say that they are ill because they do not except their sexuality when if fact the great majority of these persons do so, is both insulting and humiliating to the mental health services consumers who experience these insults.
Believe me, schizophrenia is not caused by past sinful behavior, guilt, or repressed sexuality and neither is bipolar disorder, clinical depression, OCD and the like. These disorders are caused by very major disruptions within the neural transmitter systems within their brains. In fact, for schizophrenia, the levels of the brain chemical dopamine can be much, much higher than that of those who chronically abuse dopamine enhancing drugs like methylamphetamine and yet many of these consumers work as scientists, engineers, doctors, lawyers, etc. You just do not here about the millions of sucess stories because these consumers are well aware of the intolerable insults and stigma they would recieve if they braodcast their conditions. And this fear is not a result of some socalled excessive social sensitivity that these persons have as an alledged causative psychodynamic element inherent in their psychological makeup any more than say an African American would not want to deal with daily ennuendos and labeling with the n----- word.
My fear is that as the stigma toward the mentally ill continues, there are going to be many more cases of mentally ill persons going on shooting rampages like the one that occured at Virginia Tech and for which there were 32 shooting fatalities at the hands of an individual which a deeply disturbed and angry psyche, an individual who was probably furious and humiliated by the insults and ennuendos he most probably received by those who coldly and cruelly labeled him as looney.
Mental illness is a brain based reality. It is not a spiritual adjustment condition, it is not a moral state, and it is not a spiritual defect. However, when people with mental illnesses are abused, insulted, oppressed by stigma and the glass ceiling, then the hurt and sadness and humiliation can turn to anger, hate, and violence.
The history of the last two centuries is repleat with misfits who, I am sure were at some point in their youth subjected to harsh cold and cruel insults and who then have taken an exacting toll on society. Some of these are Adolf Hitler, Stalin, Saddaam Huesien.
We must reach out to those who we would naturally view as misfits and somehow below the worthyness of our attention, and prayers.
In a world still armed with tens of thousands of stategic nuclear weapons, wherein the average yields of these weapons is 50 to 100 times greater than the device detonated over Hiroshima, we must come to a deeper respect of all human life as being sacred before God and of fundamental moral equality before God in all instances. If we fail to do so, then the next concentration camps will probably not be operated by highly credentialed professionals, but rather by previously oppressed homosexuals, mentally ill persons, and others that have been denegrated by us professionals as low- lifes. When the hords of the millions who feel humiliated are denegrated by those who these poor misfits would normally look up to as role models, than very, very bad things can happen with unspeackable furiosity of anger. The message of Our Lady of Fatima is a message of hope. However, let us not fail to remind ourselves that the Miracle of the Sun somehow seems to warn us of the horrific intensity of the nuclear fireballs of the airbusts of multimegaton nuclear warheads, a source of heat so intense that the human body, even of those of us who feel previledged and some how above the oppressed masses, can be reduces to a fully ionized plasma with a temperature of many millions of degrees C in under the millionth part of a second.
The choice is ultimately ours. The survival of the human race depends not just on the prevention of abortion, but also on how we treat the homeless mentally ill woman or the prostitute who recieves the abortion. It depends on not just how well we send food aid to the starving in religious missions in Africa, but also on how we treat our institutionalized and incarcerated with dignity or lack thereof. It depend on not just how we attempt to promote political peaceful dialogue between the United States and the Middle East, but on how we treat the grunt working hispanic males who now build America's infrastructure as they walk past us into the convienience stores we frequent. If we die as a human race, it will not be by God's hand, but by our own self disrespect and the loss of the sense of the sacredness of all human life. Jesus did not die on the cross so that we could feel free to denegrate those among us who we feel lack; psychological prowess, purity, holiness, or some sort of holier than thou elevated state. The next time you see a homeless person begging for money, instead of telling them to get lost, get an f------ job, and the like, personal safety of course being a consideration, try giving this person a hug and tell them that if Jesus were walking the Earth today, He would do the same. When we experience the urge to utter an insult, try a little civility instead.
Regards;
Jim
