Gay Republicans: Lost in the Twilight Zone?

There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man it is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity it is the middle ground between light and shadow between science and superstition and it lies between the pit of man’s fears and the summit of his knowledge this is [...]

Any Democrat is better than any Republican

Back when Democrat Heath Shuler was running for U.S. House there was an awful lot of talk about how having any Democrat would be better than any Republican. Of course, it really doesn’t matter when the Democrat being elected is just as conservative as the Republican he replaced.
Shuler’s 11th District covers the western-most tip [...]

Jasmyne Cannick: Attack & conquer, Burn the bridges

Jasmyne Cannick wasn’t content blasting the white gays after Prop. 8. The lesbian, African-American blogger and activist, has spoken again.
Is it any surprise she’s again pointing fingers and speaking outrageously?
Instead of denouncing Obama’s choice to invite Warren, gays should be hailing it, as it shows a continued effort on Obama’s behalf to reach across the [...]

Hey Obama… You’ve got Rick Warren, but what about the KKK?

Excuse me for a second if I don’t buy this “we should all get together even if we disagree” bullshit that Obama’s been peddling.
If including all American viewpoints are important, why not include a preacher associated with the KKK or Aryan Nation. Well, duh! Because we realize that their opinion is antithetical to our American [...]

Obama responds: Rick Warren at inauguration

News broke yesterday that anti-gay, conservative Saddleback Church pastor Rick Warren would deliver the invocation at Obama’s inauguration on Jan. 20.
Yesterday, I wrote:
The question now is “Yes, we can do what?” If the answer is “peddle more religion-based prejudice, fear and discrimination,” then maybe Obama really isn’t that “agent of change” he always said [...]

Agent of change or purveyor of bigotry: Obama inauguration to feature Rick Warren

Yes, we can!
That was the rallying cry throughout Obama’s “agent of change” campaign for the White House. Despite his promises to the contrary, Obama will bring no change to the nation on Jan. 20, when he allows the conservative, anti-gay Saddleback Church pastor Rick Warren to deliver the invocation at his inauguration.
The question now is [...]

A Republican Governor for North Carolina?

The Durham Herald-Sun has endorsed Republican gubernatorial candidate Pat McCrory, who currently serves as the 13-year mayor of Charlotte.
Some of their reasoning (article here, registration required and full article at McCrory’s campaign site):
McCrory is an anomaly, a Republican in Charlotte who has been getting re-elected for 13 years. To pull that off, and to continue [...]

Bailout must aid all Americans

A New York third party has laid out a bailout plan that would benefit all Americans, not just the Wall Street investors, financiers and bankers who got us in this mess to begin with.
I’m not a Wall Street or economic expert, but unlike John McCain, I at least know something about how our economy works. [...]

Does your dog bark with a lisp?

A young conservative slightly associated with the SPLC-listed hate group Young Americans for Freedom (YAF) gave a radio interview for The Young Turks at the Republican National Convention. What was up for debate? Well, none other than a good ole helpin’ of sodomy and a fine, fine conversation about Barack Obama’s “pro-sodomy” activizin’ ways.

Biden would vote ‘yes’ on ENDA split

In response to a question asked during his brief visit with the Pennsyvania delegation to the Democratic Convention, Vice Presidential nominee Joe Biden said that he would vote “yes” if he had to break a tie on the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) while serving as President of the Senate.
In 1996, ENDA was voted on and [...]
