President declares deviance month

1 Comment

See Sanity In An Upside Down World: President Obama’s Annual Declaration of Perversion, where Glenn does a great job of going through each line of the President’s following declaration:

NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim June 2011 as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month. I call upon the people of the United States to eliminate prejudice everywhere it exists, and to celebrate the great diversity of the American people.

Yes, you read that correctly.  The leader of the free world wants us to celebrate the diversity of sin, all the while assuring us that he is a Christian (one of those Christians who, among other things, finds the Book of Romans to be obscure).

The Other McCain had a thoughtful commentary as well in Do You Sometimes Find Yourself Wishing That You Could Arrive At Some Wholly New Form Of Depravity?

Truly, I wish that sexuality could remain private. Certainly not a federal political matter. But since the month of June has to find itself turned into a public celebration of something that, in my opinion, has no business being public (hetero or otherwise), the thought of having a month devoted to my own personal pecadillos sounds kind of interesting.  Is the world ready for some kind of bagpipe-driven, zombie apocalypse orgy of falsehood? Pecca Fortiter, said Luther. Let’s start by taking Luther out of context, shall we? Let’s just drive our culture off the cliff, Thelma and Louise style, full tilt boogie, right into hell. I mean, let’s just crank up the volume on the sin so badly that lesbians, gay, bisexuals, and transgender folks are stunned into a silent Puritanism by comparison. I bet if we get sufficiently weird, the President will award us two months.  Because that would be cool.

Yea for the 2nd Amendment!

See Why The Constitution Matters: Woman Shoots, Kills Would-Be Rapist

A thug broke into a suburban Atlanta woman’s home, and attacked her at knifepoint at 6:30 a.m. while she was in the shower. A struggle ensued, during which the woman was injured. Eventually, though, she was able to get her hands on her .22, and shortly thereafter, the woman pumped 9 rounds into her assailant. He staggered outside and was later pronounced dead at the hospital.

Morals of the story:

  • The Second Amendment ain’t about hunting.
  • You can’t assume the police  will be there when you need them.
  • If you’re a woman and you live alone, you should buy a gun and learn how to protect yourself with it. (Actually, everyone should do this, but single women especially.)

I will never, ever vote for a candidate who would have preferred that this woman get raped (i.e. any candidate who opposes guns in the hands of law abiding citizens).

If this woman lived in Canada, Australia, Ireland, Scotland, England, Australia, and much of the rest of the world, she would have had two choices:

  • Get raped at knifepoint (and probably murdered at knifepoint afterwards)
  • Get arrested and imprisoned for owning and using a handgun

This reminds me of a friend of ours who turned someone in to CPS for sexually abusing an infant.  The perpetrator correctly inferred that it was her and called with death threats and stood outside her yard in a menacing way.  I will always want to protect the right of someone like her to go get a gun that day.

I also know of someone who got death threats from a former employee who was arrested for theft.  The criminal’s threats weren’t deemed sufficiently dangerous by a judge so he wouldn’t even issue a restraining order.  I definitely want that victim to be able to get a gun if he wants.
