The arrogance of the LBGT crowd is a thing to behold.  This ultra rich dude has spent a bunch of money over a 30 year period supporting  LBGT causes.  The enemy of their rights to engage in their lifestyle choices is according to him the religious rights of Christians.  Notwithstanding that the Constitution makes no mention of LBGT rights it most certainly does mention religious rights.  However, that is meaningless to him and his fellow LBGT advocates.  He goal is to strip Christians of their rights and give what ever they think they should be and turn them over to LBGTs. He does not understand the concept of equal rights for all.  He believes LBGT people deserve special rights because of their chosen sexual proclivities.  This is a sickness of large proportions.  Quote: "Tim Gill, a Democrat with deep pockets, has been fighting for members of the LGBTQ for decades. He recently revealed a disturbing plan to “punish the wicked” Christians in the South who still oppose the LGBTQ community, according to Rollingstone."  And, "Gill’s efforts to remove RFRA laws would result in Christian business owners being forced to provide services to LGBTQ members or suffer severe lawsuits and fines. Such was the case with two bakery owners in Oregon who were fined $135 thousand for refusing to bake a cake for a same-sex wedding, as revealed in an article by The Christian Post. The advancement of LGBTQ rights creates a complex issue for Christians. On the one hand, discrimination and hatred towards another person are unacceptable, and we’re meant to treat others with love and kindness. On the other, engaging in activities related to gay rights, such as hosting a same-sex wedding, could be seen as support for a lifestyle considered morally wrong by the Christian faith. It results in a struggle between rights of LGBTQ individuals and the religious freedom rights of Christians. And with each passing bit of legislation, it would seem that Christians are slowly losing their right to religious freedom."  https://www.teaparty.org/alert-mega-rich-democrat-reveals-sick-plot-punish-wicked-christians-south-256631/    It was the Christian foundation that built this country and sustained it for 250 years.  Nowhere in our history is there evidence that LBGTs were a collective force in developing or sustaining our nation's virtues, morals or culture.  That does not mean that LBGTs as individuals made no contribution.  Of course they did.  But they did so as individuals not because they were LBGTs.  Christians are Constitutionally protected individuals, too, and deserve the right to hold dear to their beliefs just as much as LBGTs have a right to their sexual proclivities. To seek to destroy Christians and their businesses along with their right to life liberty, happiness and property by forcing them to abandon their deeply held beliefs and yield to LBGT sexual preferences is dead wrong on any level I can imagine. It is a matter of justice, equal rights and respect for everyone.  No one has the right to force anyone to violate their principles.  But that seems to be what LBGTs believe.  Their sexual rights trump the rights and strongly held convictions of others. That is unjust on its face.

This piece suggests that sex change surgeries makes things worse for transgender people.  Quote: "The various liberal resources are shockingly equivocal as to what gender identity actually is. Gender identity is an “innermost knowing,” an issue of hormone imbalance, the result of a male brain in a female body, or a ‘transsexual’ brain, maybe an inherited characteristic, and many other possibilities, depending on whom you ask. According to some, gender is an inborn and permanent state; for others, a fluid awareness that might change by the day. How is it possible that a condition so insusceptible of consistent definition could be universally declared fatal without medical treatment?  Further, if transgenderism requires medical treatment, how can it form the basis of anyone’s identity? Trans people and their allies have, of course, insisted with great indignation that their condition is not an illness, but it is hard to see how this conclusion is to be avoided, if it’s insisted that it must be treated or else will be fatal. Illnesses that require treatment do not constitute anyone’s identity. Being HIV-positive requires medical treatment. I do not identify as HIV-positive as though it made me an entirely new kind of person. It is a condition I need to treat in order to live and be healthy. How is being trans any different?"  And, "The LGBT movement has built a civilization around the validation of being “who you are” despite all efforts of judgment or persecution. Trans individuals often tell me they are now their “true gender.” Advocates like Zack Ford and others routinely demand that extreme social bigotry prevents the trans individual from living a full and happy life. But in the center of this storm of indignation and boasting of perseverance is the steady and quiet realization that these people are extremely insecure.

We cannot forget the real tragedy in all of this. People suffering from genuine mental anguish are being promised that with enough surgery, camouflage, social acceptance, legal protection, educational campaigns, and so on, they will finally feel whole as a person. Worse, they are told that the only reason they continue to suffer is due to the intolerance and hatred of those around them. The current method of addressing this concern is only making matters worse. Treatment needs to address the core problem."     https://www.lifesitenews.com/opinion/gender-confused-persons-are-seeking-a-cure-but-getting-the-wrong-answers?

There is interesting content in this stream but my eye caught the thoughts of emblematic which is the 2nd item. It offers interesting insights.  The piece ends with this observation: "Having a negative foundation myth means the tree of life for Westerners is poisoned. People don’t realise it but the bounds of allowable thought and the orientation of ideas are all downstream from the myth of the society. As long as our understanding of who we are is determined by this negative foundation myth the only direction is down."    http://www.unz.com/jderbyshire/no-decent-answers-on-douglas-murrays-the-strange-death-of-europe/

This item provides insight to the ineptitude of our nation's Congress.  They just issued a veto proof demand to impose serious sanctions on Russia for a fake Democrat claim that Russia messed with our elections.  The behavior of this body is one of childish irresponsibility.  Now our country will pay the price for their irresponsible behavior and denying the president the right to do his job.  This item explains.   https://www.theburningplatform.com/2017/08/03/russian-pm-the-u-s-just-declared-full-scale-trade-war-on-russia/#more-156010   Let your elected official know how you feel.

These retired senior military officers know of what they speak.  Obama's foolish transgender policy would devastate military unit cohesion. It would forever be a sure source of unit conflict when tight cohesion and sense of duty and trust in fellow warriors is of paramount importance. The socialist social engineer and politically correct Obama would never understand that vital ingredient so important to the military.    http://www.westernjournalism.com/retired-generals-thank-trump-for-courageous-transgender-ban-decision/?   I should modify my previous comment.  He knew full well what his policy would do.  It was part of his clearly purposeful intent to destroy the cohesion of our military.  He brought it down to a size not seen since before WWII.    https://www.armytimes.com/news/your-army/2016/05/07/army-shrinks-to-smallest-level-since-before-world-war-ii/   And,  http://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/pentagon-shrink-budget-pre/2014/02/24/id/554281/   I don't know what the right size is but for sure neither did Obama.

The State Department continues its slow roll of a Judge's order to release documents detailing what Obama and Hillary did just after the Benghazi disaster.  It is likely that Obama loyalists still in the State Department are at the heart of the obstruction.   Who ever it is should be fired.    https://www.teaparty.org/breaking-federal-judge-issues-powerful-benghazi-demand-obama-will-exposed-256929/

This ridiculously stupid comment was rendered by an elected official who has five times been selected as one of the most corrupt people in the House of Representatives.  She is a DC laughing stock.   https://www.theburningplatform.com/2017/08/05/maxine-waters-trump-is-the-most-deplorable-person-ive-ever-met/   Not only is she helplessly corrupt she is an intellectual dullard.   http://www.libertyheadlines.com/maxine-waters-says-putin-needs-impeached-trump/?

This is a way Trump can move Obamacare down the road to repeal and replace.  Our corrupt lawmakers cut a deal with corrupt Obama not available to abused citizens required to purchase Obamacare or pay a fine increasing each and every year.  Read this to see how truly dirty the deal gifted by Obama to our American "royalty" known as Congress.    http://www.wnd.com/2017/08/1-simple-trump-phone-call-would-light-fire-under-congress-on-obamacare/    Not available to citizens paying the taxes funding subsidies for Congress and their staff.  That shows how concerned Obama and members of congress are for the health and welfare of the American people.  Very little for either.  

This provides a startling contrast between feminist of the past and the current crop that populates our country.  Quote: "The findings of modern science and research suggest that our feminist foremothers were startlingly insightful. Data now provides evidence that abortion hurts women and kills magnificent human beings. Medical science illustrates the breathtaking humanity of the preborn child. And longitudinal studies have proven that abortion has devastating effects on women, ranging from an exponentially greater likelihood of tragedies such as substance abuse and suicide, to jarring medical risks like preterm birth in subsequent pregnancies. Today’s data, like yesterday’s feminist foremothers, suggest that women would be better served by having their problems addressed, not by violently and permanently removing their child from the equation.  When it comes to defending preborn lives and standing up for the rights of women, pro-life advocates have every advantage, including history, data, and the original feminists America knows and loves."    https://www.humancoalition.org/2017/08/02/abortion-stunts-feminist-progress/?

This item examines the history of immigration and the consequences that came from the 1965 immigration law. Quote: The 1965 changes unwittingly ushered in a new era of mass immigration. The current level of immigration is actually higher than the graph below indicates because illegal immigration is much higher now than ever before, with a conservative estimate of 300,000 new permanent illegal immigrants each year. The result is an influx of more than 1 million people a year, with no natural end in sight."  And, "Despite the protestations of the 1965 act's sponsors, the sources of immigration have changed radically. This is partly due to the fact that there are fewer people in Europe are seeking to leave, now that most countries there are modern and industrialized. The ending of the national origins quotas opened the doors to mass entry of people from Asia and Latin America (regions where people are far more likely to want to emigrate), and the law's emphasis on family reunification ensured that those through the door first would be able to bring in their relatives, freezing out potential immigrants from Europe and from other developing nations."  And, "Although the percentage of high school dropouts among immigrants has fallen somewhat, the gap between natives and the foreign born has grown significantly, with immigrants more than twice as likely as native-born Americans not to have completed high school. This contributes to a growing pool of blue-collar workers competing for a shrinking number of well-paying jobs."   https://cis.org/Report/Legacy-1965-Immigration-Act

Hmmm!!! Something smells rotten to me.   http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2017/08/boom-internet-sleuths-discover-ag-loretta-lynch-using-grandmothers-name-alias-communicate-doj-officials/

Talk about corruption read this.  Quote: 'From day one this cabal has been out to get Trump, and they have given the task of framing up Trump to Mueller. An honest man would not have accepted the job of chief witch-hunter, which is what Mueller’s job is.

The breathless hype of a nonexistent “Russian collusion” has been the lead news story for months despite the fact that no one, not the CIA, not the NSA, not the FBI, not the Director of National Intelligence, can find a scrap of evidence. In desperation, three of the seventeen US intelligence agencies picked a small handful of employees thought to lack integrity and produced an unverified report, absent of any evidence, that the hand-picked handful thought that there might have been a collusion. On the basis of what evidence they do not say. That nothing more substantial than this led to a special prosecutor shows how totally corrupt justice in America is."     https://www.theburningplatform.com/2017/08/03/the-witch-hunt-for-donald-trump-surpasses-the-salem-witch-trials-of-1692-93/

Here is a question for Obama and his fellow irrational and irresponsible apologists supporting illegals and refugees.  Do things like this make you feel proud of what you have done to our country?  This is just one of hundreds maybe even thousands of example.  of massive failures.  And will for ever be a large part of Obama's terrible legacy.   https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/08/a-national-security-council-staffer-is-forced-out-over-a-controversial-memo/535725/   And consider this. It will make you mad.   http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2017/08/iranian-al-quds-general-brags-killing-us-soldiers-iraq-obama-sent-pallet-cash/   And the corrupt liberals want to impeach Trump???  Give me a break Obama was a veritable crime machine but the word impeachment never crossed the lips of anyone in office.   Will liberals ever acknowledge the message this Muslim sends?  No kidding.  What he says is exactly what the Muslims intend to do.  http://www.wnd.com/2017/08/muslim-to-u-s-judge-allah-will-reward-me-punish-you/

Another loyalist named who allegedly unmasked the names of  hundreds of Americans Obama illegally had intelligent agencies spy on.  Quote: "Former United Nations Ambassador Samantha Power is believed to have made "hundreds" of unmasking requests to identify individuals named in classified intelligence community reports related to Trump and his presidential transition team, according to multiple sources who said the behavior is unprecedented for an official in her position.  Power was first identified by the Washington Free Beacon last month as a central figure in a congressional investigation into efforts by senior Obama administration officials to obtain classified intelligence information in what many allege was an effort to undermine President Donald Trump and his incoming national security team. Power is believed to be the anonymous official responsible for "hundreds of unmasking requests during the final year of the Obama administration," according to current and former U.S. officials who spoke to the Free Beacon about the ongoing investigation."    http://freebeacon.com/national-security/former-u-n-amb-power-unmasked-hundreds-last-year-obama-admin/?

While I don't hate her I could never be friendly with this woman who rabidly supports the killing of babies and selling their body parts. This is what she tells her fellow Democrats.   http://www.lifenews.com/2017/08/02/cecile-richards-you-cant-be-a-democrat-if-you-dont-support-abortion-its-non-negotiable/   So, in her mind if you don't believe the murder of babies is okay or a noble thing to do you cannot be a Democrat.  If the shoe fits....
