Fundies: Obama turning 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue into The Castro

:P :crazy:


from the always-sad, but often unintentionally hilarious OneNewsNow news service of the American Family Association:



Obama keeping promises made to homosexual groups
Jim Brown - OneNewsNow - 12/1/2008 6:30:00 AM


President-elect Barack Obama is moving swiftly to appoint homosexual activists to positions within his administration.

Politico.com reports that 10 national homosexual organizations are working with the Obama transition team to get more openly homosexual people appointed to the incoming administration. Obama's transition team has also reportedly named at least seven openly homosexual people to transition panels assigned to review federal departments and agencies. Three of the seven homosexuals on transition panels have held high-level positions in the Clinton administration.

Matt Barber, director of cultural affairs with Liberty Counsel and Liberty Alliance Action, says Obama is keeping his promises to the homosexual lobby.

"Obama, throughout the campaign, signaled...very quietly, but nonetheless signaled on his web page and elsewhere that he essentially had signed off on every major demand of homosexual pressure groups," he said. "So it's not surprising that he has now allowed some of these radical activists to become part of his administration."

According to the Washington Blade, Obama officials also named President Bush's former ambassador to Romania, Michael Guest, to a transition panel assigned to review issues pertaining to the State Department.

1. They have been getting really rabid lately
They really do not want gays to have any position in society whatsoever.

At least their true colors are showing. They will only continue to marginalize themselves.

11. To the ultra-extreme that is probably true
They would go as far as Saudi Arabia and any other form of ultra-extreme fundamentalist religion. A first step along that road would be complete marginalization before the automatic death penalty would come around.

They are marginalizing themselves so much by this. While the lifestyle is not accepted by many of the older generation, they also remember WWII and will not let any movement towards something like that happen.

10. It probably looks like The Ponderosa in there now.
Oh and the chef - when is the last time dinner there wasn't served on a bun?

25. go stand on Castro and 18th on a warm day
outside of Walgreens and you'll get a nose full

It kills me to see these kids who run away to SF and think that they'll be welcomed with open arms and end up on the streets doing God knows what to survive

14. On the 10th day of Christmas Obama gave to me
10 homosexuals leaping

As a straight guy I would guess from reading the "article"
Mr. Brown is more than a little interested in "that lifestyle."

homosexual pressure groups ..... :rofl:
