Jeez, what was that?
Written by Stephen Bone on May 4, 2009 – 10:30 am -That big bump you just felt under the wheels on your morning commute was the LGBT Community being thrown under the bus by Barack Obama’s administration and Nancy Pelosi’s Democratic congress. (Warning, some may find the content on the linked news pages not to their preference.)
Over the weekend, the White House website removed the page explicitly outlining its rather radical eight-point agenda supporting the LGBT Community, and replaced it with a tepid two-point support statement that highlights instead traditional New Left civil rights reforms.
The message to the last hatefully discriminated-against group of American citizens is clear, “Thank you for your votes, now please close the door behind you on your way out.”
When are they going to learn? The Feds and radical Progressives currently controlling the Democratic Party cannot be trusted.
The only significant advances the LGBT community is achieving are in the States (Massachusetts, Iowa, Connecticut, Vermont, etc), and therefore they should be supporting civil libertarians, the libertarian state sovereignty movement, and the 10th Amendment as the key step to achieving their equality. After all, it was the Libertarian Party that was the first major political party to openly endorse equal rights (including marriage rights) for all citizens way back in 1972 — long before the Democrats were willing to even touch the issue.
Would it not be better to have something (a few safe havens) at the State level, than nothing (except exploitation) at the Federal level?
I was warning voters eight months ago that only the radical neo-con conservatives were likely to end up being pleased with an Obama administration. I hate being right so often.

As an outsider I find it amusing in a disgusted sort of way how “interest groups”, particularly single issue interest groups rally to the D.C. parasites for recognition and approval of their cause. Has any such group ever truly achieved their goals that way from men and women who have never even given anyone a choice of what bus they would throw them under?

According to some local progressive bloggers we’re birchers and homophobes. As pointed out above, libertarians have been for equal liberty for ALL. The parties just use minority groups for their own purposes. In many cases once the election is over, FU.
