What will Obama say about gays tonight?
2008-08-29 00:16:00 I’ve long believed that the government should remain neutral on gay issues, neither discriminating against us nor offering us preferential treatment. To that end, I won’t be upset should John McCain, in his acceptance speech next week, fail to address our community. Gay activists, however, insist politicians reach out to us and identify us by name. ...

On Liberal Intolerance of Gay Conservatives
2008-08-28 17:19:00 Check out these interesting critiques of liberal intolerance towards gay conservatives from two perhaps more liberal-minded blogs: [M]any intolerant gay liberals really don’t care so much about how gay Republicans feel about “issues utterly unrelated to gay rights,” except to assume unfairly that their motivation is probably selfish (i.e., lower taxes) rather than not (i.e., national ...

Dwelling on Race, Gender & Sexual Orientation
2008-08-28 01:57:00 For as long as people have been criticizing Hillary Clinton, we’ve been hearing her supporters retort that the only reason we dislike the former First Lady is because we can’t stand (or fear) strong women. Which means that some of my friends, acquaintances and family members are self-haters. But, then, we gay Republicans know it’s ...

Go West, Young Lib?
2008-08-22 17:37:00 As I was coming home last night, I happen to notice that in the Philadelphia International airport there was a marked increase in the number of people who had at least two, if not many more, of the following characteristics: Angry-looking, arrogant, un-bathed, sloppy, obnoxious, self-absorbed, rude to fellow travelers, unwashed and unstyled hair, clothes that ...

Operation Gay-os Begins:Man Your Battle Stations!
2008-08-04 13:00:00 Good morning. I am addressing the gay troops of America from the command center of the not-so-vast gay right wing conspiracy. As of this hour, I am taking command of a political and strategeric operation to be known as “Operation Gay-os”. OpGay is of course is an offshoot (and unaffiliated effort) of the widely successful “Operation Chaos” launched earlier this year ...

Discrimination, Discrimination!It is Everywhere!
2008-08-03 04:00:00 It is in your weeds and on your signs. It is around the corner and behind the vines! D-I-S-C-R-I-M-I-N-A-T-I-O-N! Don’t look now…. you might be offended at any moment by everyday life. The answer, of course, is to sue or sic the big Bad Government on the (obviously white heterosexual male) offenders.

Barack Obama?s Sister Souljah Opportunity
2008-06-19 17:23:00 Back in June of 1992 when speaking to a gathering of Jesse Jackson’s Rainbow Coalition, then-presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Bill Clinton, repudiated the African-American hip-hop artist/activist Lisa Williamson (AKA Sister Souljah) for her comments suggesting blacks should stop killing blacks and should instead “have a week” where they “kill white people.” This became the first “Sister ...

Hillary Accuses Democrats of Being Bigots
2008-06-10 01:00:00 That’s what John O’Sullivan contends: Her campaign’s excuse for defeat - that sexism trumped racism - implicitly accuses all Democrat voters of being bigots. It leaves behind a poisonous atmosphere of internecine identity politics on the Left. None of this augurs well for her post-2008 presidential prospects - whoever wins in November. (Via The Corner) The ...

Identity Politics and the LP Ticket
2008-06-01 03:37:00 During her ill-fated bid for the Libertarian Party presidential nomination this year, Dr. Mary Ruwart faced some criticism -- even from her supporters -- for highlighting her gender as a reason to support her. At the end of her liveblog of the LP presidential debate, ElfNinosMom wrote, "My least favorite candidate is Ruwart, she lost any possibility of my support or respect when she made the comment about how women want to vote for a woman." Sobriquet praised Ruwart but said she "did try to capitalize on her gender, positioning herself as poised to take advantage of the tide of gender politics stirred up by Hillary Clinton." Jacqueline Passey also said Ruwart "might have leaned on her gender as a reason to vote for her a bit much, but she is correct that this year it is probably a tactical advantage." While I am turned off by appeals to identity politics, Ruwart was correct that her gender could have led otherwise-indifferent voters to consider her candidacy, especially now that it...
Rifts Mend, Unless Identity Politics Is a Different Stripe
2008-04-27 19:56:00 SENATOR Hillary Rodham Clinton?s victory last week in the Pennsylvania presidential primary bought Mrs. Clinton time, but it?s what might fill the time that troubles Democrats: an increasingly sharp dialogue between core Democratic constituencies ? blacks and a wide swath of women. Will either of those constituencies leave their grievances at home come November? Will large numbers stay home altogether if their history-making candidate loses the nomination? The reassurances, and the warnings, are flying. Howard Dean, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi have all promised a resolution shortly after the last of the primaries in June, and have urged superdelegates to fall in line behind one candidate or the other. But even as Mr. Dean and others lament the downward tone of the campaign, they say that with the convention in Denver in August, the healing will begin. They dismiss the intramural tensions wrought b...

The logical conclusion of Identity politics: Racism
2008-03-09 17:57:00 Shoveling out today, we caught a foot of snow at least, hereabouts. Meanwhile, the Kos kids are dealing with a snowstorm of their own… one created by Kos, himself. It’s amazing, what some will do in their fruitless attempt avoid the logical conclusions of the identity politics these morons have been pushing for years.

Identity Politics in Voting
2008-02-19 17:34:00 The remaining candidates in the 2008 election are an old white man, a young black man and a woman. Identity politics, the inclination for voters to chose a candidate based on race, gender, or religion, has never been more relevant to the political landscape. Just how real is the phenomenon of identity politics and is it ever in the voters' best interest to vote along demographic lines?
Dem Debate Sticks to Script - Cordial, Identity Politics, BDS and Even a St
2008-02-01 15:06:00 I got stuck in a Midwest snowstorm last night and my normal 2ish hour commute took almost 6 fracking hours! In that time I caught Michael Medved practically campaigning for John McCain, NPR radio pushing the troop suicide screed, and Michael Savage telling me that the Democrats would get together before the debate and agree ...

Nightly Ramble:Identity politics, Edwards out, it’s McCain and Clinto
2008-01-30 22:51:00 McQ puts up a few telling comments about Identity politics, in the context of the ever increasingly irrelevant “National Origination for (Leftist) Women. Not much of a shock that we both draw the same conclusion about NOW in particular… but I would spread that deal all over the Identity politics thing. It strikes me as train-wreck fascinating that the Democrats who are supposedly rebelling against racism, sexism and politics as usual, should be engaging in exactly that, with a couple of Chicago Pols leading the way over that cliff. This bit with NOS is only the most current example. OK, so now we’re hearing that John Edwards has quit the race, as I predicted here several days ago. Talkmeister Boortz seems to feel this race is now down to two: Hillary Clinton and John McCain. While I’ll admit I’ve been thinking along the same lines for a few days, now, I’m not quite ready to concede that point, yet. First of all, Edwards supporters will end up in ...

Identity Politics and the 2008 Election
2008-01-26 14:51:00 Back in our nation's bicentennial year, something unusual happened. Alabama and South Carolina voted for the Democratic nominee for president of the United States. So did every other state of the old Confederacy except Virginia. Mississippi and Massachusetts cast their electoral votes for the same man, Jimmy Carter. Carter was clearly more liberal than his Republican opponent, Gerald Ford, though the distance between them was not enormous. Still, the South rejected the GOP in 1976 and cast its lot with a left of center Democrat. It has not done so since.It is because of the 1976 election that many pundits believe Ronald Reagan deserves most of the credit for turning southern voters away from a century of supporting Democrats at the national level. Those with a bit more knowledge, however, understand that the turning point actually occurred sixteen years earlier with the doomed campaign of Barry Goldwater. Aside from his native Arizona, Goldwater won only five additional states in ...
Identity politics gone wild, stars losing followings
2008-01-21 13:29:00 I mean, not like this stuff wasn’t expected. I’ve been talking about this kind of thing for years. But it does give us an idea of the kind of nonsense we’re in for: From the London Times: AMERICA’S favourite television presenter is paying a painful price for her intervention in the US presidential campaign last month. Oprah Winfrey has been dubbed a “traitor” by some of her female fans for supporting Barack Obama instead of Hillary Clinton. Winfrey’s website, Oprah.com, has been flooded with a barrage of abuse since the queen of daytime chat shows joined Obama on a tour of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina in mid-December. Her intervention was widely credited with broadening Obama’s national appeal - especially among women - and with helping him to an upset victory over Clinton in the first vote of the election year in Iowa. Now look; It’s even money that what we’re seeing on Oprah’s site is orchestrated by the H...

Where?s Your ?Identity Politics? Now?
2008-01-18 23:42:00 A whole raft of other bloggers, pundit types, and media notables have weighed in the flap over Barack Obama?s praise of Ronald Reagan, including John Edwards, who I think is entirely correct of course here.I would just ask that others consider this latest dustup in context with these moments and wonder why the senator from Illinois lapses into rhetoric and actions that end up complementing anything that could come out of the RNC playbook when ?crunch time? arrives. Yes, I know he?s a bit ?green? after all on this stage, which isn?t his fault entirely, but it?s bad enough when the Repugs trip all over themselves with their ?Gipper love? ? I can?t think of a word to describe how unseemly it is when a Dem engages in it also.
Gender Identity Politics And Free Speech; Hillarynauts To Gag Dissent
2008-01-11 13:25:00 How many times have you heard that we need a president who “can bring us together?” Those dissatisfied with the current course of the country lament the fact that public discourse has become so poisonous during the Bush 43 years. In the words of that great American philosopher, Gomer Pyle, “Surprise, surprise, surprise!” It ...

A leading Democratic candidate, a black man in America, and he does not talk about race, does not play the race card. It appeals to the ...

2008-01-02 20:56:00 I’m listening to Rush as usual and my head hurts listening to this one caller who claims that he is undecided as to what GOP candidate to endorse. Then dude eventually comes clean and says that he supports Suckabee because he is the “most” conservative. He then says later that Giuliani would be a good alternative. Now ...

Black Five Smells Blood
2007-09-14 07:36:00 And Uncle Jimbo is HOT on the trail. LOSE THE HOUNDS!!And Rudy is going for the Carotid Artery.The trouble with all of this is as follows. There isn't one single man remaining in CONgress or Law Enforcement that has jurisdiction in these matters that has what it takes to enforce the Rule Of Law. They live in FEAR of the Political Correctness Nazis and the Identity Politics Nazis and the Multiculturalism Nazis.Only the Leftinistra and their Hounds of Baskerville are allowed to break the laws and claim "ignorance". Only those promoting defeat are allowed to do as they please. They have had their way for decades and the Conservative Tsunami is rising.America Is Rising. Come Hell or High Water and by God Above, these cretins will pay.Be afraid ye Leftinistra. Be sorely afraid. Your time has come and your time in the sand will soon ebb into obscurity.Mark my words.
Identity Politics...Downfall of America; An International Embarrassment
2007-08-06 18:57:00 This right here is too funny in a not so funny way. It isn't funny as far as a HAHA is funny. It is funny in that the Leftinistra are whining...AGAIN! Funny as in, WTF? Funny as in, this is not known? Funny as in, you have got to be kidding me!Read on.From Slate:The Los Angeles Times leads with a look at how the partisan wrangling between lawmakers in Congress has been escalating since Democrats took control and reached a high point last week. Although there was much condemnation of all this infighting, both sides have been turning up the heat, figuring "they have more to gain by warring with their rivals than by working with them." Everyone has much to lose from the deadlock but few expect the mood to change when Congress comes back, particularly since Iraq will be at the forefront again.Get a load of this headliner:Los Angeles TimesPartisanship serves parties' interestsAnd the sub-title is this:The GOP sees more advantage in disrupting congressional business, and Democrats ...
The ?Bottomless Well? of Gay Identity Politics
2006-09-09 14:03:01 Earlier this week, when I read that the current California Legislature had “passed an unprecedented fourteen bills and one resolution sponsored by Equality California (EQCA),” I wondered if I should be as delighted as that left-wing group about the amount of pro-gay legislation. As one who favors small government, I am skeptical of this spate of supposedly pro-gay bills. Basically, I think all the state legislature need do is pass bills recognizing same-sex unions and providing domestic partnership benefits to state employees. Beyond that, any legislation promoting gay “equality” would pretty much be at the expense of the freedom of Californians. While Governor Schwarzenegger has signed a few bills, including at least one I support, SB 1441, which prevents “says state-operated and state-funded programs from discriminating “against anyone based on their sexual orientation (among other things).” This is one law which doesn’t compromis...
