		<description>During his campaign, Obama invited the most rabid anti-marriage homophobic swine in California to join his new so-called &quot;Faith and Values&quot; tour on the West Coast.

According to the major GLBT publication, the Advocate: (regarding Obama’s presidential campaign 2008 in California) -- Sen. Barack Obama&#039;s campaign  reportedly launched a &quot;Faith, Family, and Values Tour&quot; in California that included Catholic legal scholar Douglas Kmiec as one of the campaign&#039;s surrogates.

So just who exactly is Prof. Douglas Kmiec from Pepperdine University and good friend of Clinton foe, Ken Starr?

Kmiec wrote an op-ed for the San Francisco Chronicle in summer 2008 in which he urged SUPPORT for passing California&#039;s marriage ban, Proposition 8.”  GOT THAT, OBAMA ASK A MAJOR PROP 8 SUPPORTER TO WORK ON HIS CAMPAIGN JUST A FEW MONTH AGO!!!

http://www.advocate.com/exclusive_detail_ektid61930.asp 
(From the Sept. 2008 issue of the Advocate -- Check it out!)

Douglas Kmiec wrote, in his attack on marriage equality: “In a depopulating world, the claim that there is a universal right to marry regardless of gender becomes a frightening ally of a claimed universal right to access to genetically engineered children. People should reject this claim by returning traditional marriage to its rightful place.&quot;

This guy, Obama’s new friend, is a dangerous loon. He believes same-sex marriage will lead to the end of civilization because same-sex couples may someday make cloning more popular than the old fashion way of reproduction.

And “in a depopulating world”? What? Straights will always be fornicating like rabbits and keeping the population growing (unfortunately, with horrific consequences, for some third world countries with limited resources).

So again, I ask: what the F**k ???!!! Obama, oh my god! Not another anti-gay friend of yours. Are you a closeted basher for some reason? Are the rumors true. Is Obama just another self-loathing, &quot;on the down-low&quot;, Donnie McClurkin? Why does he wear these bigots like a badge of honor around his neck? Or are they beards? Is that why he needed them in California in 2008? Were they his surrogates who worked behind the scene for him to push out the anti-gay vote (especially in the Black community) in order to both get him elected and to pass Prop 8.

Well, we should all be worried. We should be worried about the guy who ran for president -- the guy who is now President of the United States of America -- who brought into the fold some of our worst enemies. Apparently, the gay community’s objection to the last “Obama Gospel Tour”, which featured the “ex-homo” Donnie “Pray the Gay Away” McClurkin, made very little impact on Obama and his campaign organizers.

Why would Obama bring in the equivalent of an “anti-gay-nazi-hunter“ this  arch-homophobe, Douglas Kmiec? This nutcase, Douglas Kmeic (who is a disciple of Clinton “Monica-gate” prosecutor Ken Starr) continues to spew hateful nonsense about gay people in the future becoming Nazi-like human-cloners (shades of “The Boys from Brazil“ and Josef Mengele) who shall be bent on destroying the entire human race by genetically engineering “designer gay children”. Kmiec warns that Straights will stop copulating and little gay Ken doll human replicants will party on until the last one leaves the planet and turns off the lights. Hence, the end of human life on Earth. Ta da!

What a way to go: Not with a bang…not with a whimper…but with a song in your heart dancing down the road to extinction. ….How gay is that?

Well, put me down for an advance order. I want a couple of “Brad Pitts” (I can de-straight him later) and maybe a few GQ models thrown in for good measure.

Furthermore, Prof. Kmiec claims:
“The push for artificial wombs and the genetic manipulation of intelligence already peppers scientific literature - a push that would no doubt grow, accommodating even the minimal same-sex desire for simulating natural child birth - claimed to be of interest for 20-30 percent of same-sex couples.”

….Yep, I always knew it. I can’t wait to get an artificial womb so that I can start destroying the the Earth with it. Oooooooo!!!! SCARY!!!!! Can I get tiny laser-guns shooting death rays implanted in my nipples too? 

So, thank you, Barack. Thank you for your friendship with Douglas Kmiec, bossum buddies with Ken Starr,  the same Ken Star who just “coincidentally” was chosen of late to represent the Prop 8 haters before the California Supreme Court on March 5th, 2009.  Hmmmm…that was a coincidence, wasn’t it?

Geez…what a thoughtless bastard! He really know how to pick his friends, doesn‘t he? ….At our expense, of course.

I sure am looking forward to Obama putting some of these very same crazies on the board of his new Commission on Civil Rights -- for the sake of diversity, that is.

I envision a “god squad” of Fundamentalist Pastors rounding us “sodomites” up (the marrying kind anyway); then holding us down, kicking and screaming, as Professor Kmiec rips out our artificial wombs while Donnie McClurkin sings gospel hymns to “pray our gay away” as Barack Obama holds our hands to comfort us, and tell us: “You asked too much.”

Ahhhh…good times ahead. …I can’t wait!

So…shouldn’t we be judged by the company we keep anymore? But maybe that doesn’t apply to Barack Obama and his Anti-gay Cloning Gospel Tour tap dancing in step with his neo-Nazi chums Rick Warren and Prof. Douglas “Mengele“ Kmiec.

WOW!!! ….Have we been had or what???!!!!

		<description>Hmmm...very interesting article you wrote there Bud-E.  Actually, cloning our own kind is not necessary.  In approximately 4-5 years a procedure will become available called SSP(Same Sex Procreation).  It will enable the gay community, through the use of stem cell technology and genetic engineering, to produce a male &quot;egg&quot; which can then be paired with the sperm from your partner.  The newly created embryo can then be implanted into a female uterus.  Yah, I know, I&#039;m spouting off a pretty wild scenario here but it WILL become a reality very, very soon.  There already exists a few online sites out there which are dealing with this issue RIGHT now!  One such site is eggandsperm.org.  A site started and maintained by a rabid homophobe, by the name of John Howard, who wants to federally ban such research and implementation from taking place.  Apparently the ex slave owning state of Missouri has already done this. Go figure.  Then there&#039;s another interesting site called samesexprocreation.com.  Both of them are pretty interesting reads.  Also type in &quot;kaguya&quot; in your search engine to read about the world&#039;s first mouse created from TWO female egg cells!  Definitely stranger than fiction. This IS the coming future folks.  maybe even someday we can see the complete elimination of heteros from the planet! LmAO!  Sadly, I won&#039;t live long enough to see it, but our children quite possibly could.  Peace all.</description>

WTF?  It is ignorant comments like this that cause the spread of sexually-transmitted diseases.  God, some people are dumb.</description>

		<description>Morgan, I understand Shawn frustration with some heterosexuals -- after all, if it weren’t for them we wouldn’t have such violence, discrimination, and inequity imposed on the GLBT community. It would be silly not to put the blame where the blame lies. That would be like saying that racism in the United States had nothing to do with Whites. But the key word in that case would be “racism”, just like the operational terminology for how unjustly the GLBT minority community is treated by heterosexual majority would be “heterosexism”. 

In that vein, not every heterosexual is a heterosexist just like not every person of the White race is a racist. Unfortunately, the majority of heterosexuals are either heterosexist (even in the Democratic Party) or apathetic to discrimination against the GLBT community. But being in a minority does not exclude you from being a fomenter of prejudice.  There are Black racists who hate Whites, Asians, and Hispanics for no reason other than based on races and, likewise, there are a few homosexists who lump all heterosexuals together and hate them all based on their sexuality too. That makes those individuals as bad as their persecutors. 

Remember the old adage that goes: Beware to those who slay dragons lest they become dragons themselves.

Unfortunately, in the majority of the US “most” heterosexuals cannot accept the equality of their GLBT neighbors and fellow citizens. But that can also be broken down into subcategories. 

Pernicious Homophobia is most prevalent amongst: 

[1.] The poorly educated, as well as those most detached from reality (ie, religious obsessives -- which many, sadly, also fall under the category of willfully ignorant); 

[2.] Age (fifty and older -- those who don’t like changing the status quo of their privilege, power and undue influence over society); 

[3.] Race, as evidenced by the 70% support for Prop 8 by Blacks and Hispanics at 56% for Prop 8 -- in contrast the slim majority of Whites who voted against Prop 8 -- the rising threat of  each racial minority (singularly or collectively) who becomes the majority (such as in California where Whites are now the minority compared to a collectively larger population of Hispanics, Blacks and Asians).  The rise to majority status amongst racial minorities and/or religious minorities can lead to a special social privilege mindset creating a unjust situation similar to what they were once subjected to when they where the minority. Apparently, empathy is lost for other minorities after some former minorities assume power and/or majority status in some voting districts.

This third category is even more painful for the GLBT community at large because of the overwhelming support the GLBT community has shown to Blacks and other minorities in their pursuit of equal rights when they so desperately need our support. Nothing hurts more than betrayal. 

So, if we are going to change hearts -- which it seems ridiculous to have to do in the first place when we should ALL be protected equally at birth by the US Constitution -- then we must reach out to religious obsessive heterosexists (of all races and ages) as well as to the  over fifty crowd of  status quo special rights coveting heterosexists supremacists and their blue hair-dyed hordes. 

The first group can only be cured of their bigotry by their own willingness to stop being so dangerously ignorant (in that case, we‘re all doomed), whereas the second group will be (as they always have been) weeded out by nature as they grow older and then become dependent upon many of the very same people in the geriatric care industry, against which they gleefully discriminate, to then tend to them and to change their adult diapers.    
  
Maybe someday the next generation of GLBTs will have a better time of it. I hope so.
Perhaps cloning is the last hope for our kind in the future. That way, if homosexuality is truly genetic, we may be able to preserve our essence and then, perhaps, even someday out number the current violence-driven and ignorance-worshiping heterosexual majority. We would even let them live undisturbed (unlike how they have treated us for centuries).

So, coupled with the peace-loving natures; the vast talents, and the nearly unlimited capacity for compassion by the GLBT community, it could only be a better world if this could come to pass. Call it science fiction or just hopeful thinking --  but just remember, all science was once fiction and hopeful thinking is a better alternative than despair.  We shall prevail. Not only that, but we will flourish because we are amongst the best the human race has ever produced.

<p>Maybe someday the next generation of GLBTs will have a better time of it. I hope so.<br />
Perhaps cloning is the last hope for our kind in the future. That way, if homosexuality is truly genetic, we may be able to preserve our essence and then, perhaps, even someday out number the current violence-driven and ignorance-worshiping heterosexual majority. We would even let them live undisturbed (unlike how they have treated us for centuries).</p>
<p>So, coupled with the peace-loving natures; the vast talents, and the nearly unlimited capacity for compassion by the GLBT community, it could only be a better world if this could come to pass. Call it science fiction or just hopeful thinking &#8212;  but just remember, all science was once fiction and hopeful thinking is a better alternative than despair.  We shall prevail. Not only that, but we will flourish because we are amongst the best the human race has ever produced.</p>

		<description>I have no problem with any &quot;religious leader&quot; refusing to perform a gay wedding ceremony. Who the hell would want someone who doesn&#039;t support them to be involved in their wedding day plans anyway?</description>
