Your thoughts, please.

The White House has invited two lesbians to take honored seats in the gallery at tonight’s State Of The Union address. The women represent two separate issues likely to be mentioned as successes of the Obama administration. Colonel Ginger Wallace, an openly lesbian intelligence officer in the U.S. Air Force, will be one of two openly gay people in the …

The press secretary says he has no idea. The “Chris” being referred to (but not shown) is Washington Blade reporter Chris Johnson.

The president launched into his Al Green impression during a fundraising event last night at Harlem’s famed Apollo Theater. Not bad, actually.

Above is a portion of a Gingrich fundraising email with the subject line: “A Bloody Nose Just Won’t Cut It.” Unbelievable. Hit the link for more.

“Under Obama, support for marriage equality and marijuana legalization has crested to record levels. Under Obama, a crucial state, New York, made marriage equality for gays an irreversible fact of American life. Gays now openly serve in the military, and the Defense of Marriage Act is dying in the courts, undefended by the Obama Justice Department. Vast government money has …

Sort of! Washington Blade’s Chris Johnson got the quote: “While the president does not weigh in on every single action taken by legislative bodies in our country, the record is clear that the president has long opposed divisive and discriminatory efforts to deny rights and benefits to same-sex couples,” said White House spokesperson Shin Inouye. “The president believes strongly in …

Above is an early incarnation of the map we’ll see many, many times over the next eleven months. You need 270 electoral votes to claim the presidency. According to this analysis, the Democrats already have a jump start. But it’s early, it’s very early… Obama’s campaign for re-election is counting on 211 electoral votes — but needs to scrape up …

“What rational evangelical could countenance voting for such an ethical tower of Babel? What evangelical could stomach his or her president traveling around the world preaching and praising ‘safe sodomy’ for every nation? To what level of insanity have we arrived? Obama and his radical homosexual mafia plan to sodomize the world and make such perversion seem as wholesome as …

Over the loud objections of many progressives, today President Obama signed the National Defense Authorization Act, which, among many other things, includes a GOP-authored provision for the indefinite and untried detention of terrorism suspects. Obama had threatened to veto the bill because of that issue, but today said: “The fact that I support this bill as a whole does not …

“Under Obama’s Navy, lesbians get the first traditional kiss; the sailor comes off the boat greeted by his spouse which is a woman usually, man-woman, woman-man, but now under Obama this political correctness we’re going to pretend that homosexuality belongs in the military.
