Barack Obama, Independence Mo., June 30, 2008

So let's make a list of Obama's "American" ideals. I'll start.

1) "I believe marriage is between a man and a woman,"

1.5) "Civil rights are for everybody. It is the responsibility of the
majority to protect and preserve the rights of minority groups."

I'm sure that's what you meant, 2pid.

:Sure, all men and women who marry each other deserve their rights
:to be protected, whether they are gay or straight.
:And all same sex couples who unite should have their
:rights protected, whether gay or straight.

You heard Michelles speech!

Texans are bit peeved about it though.
She can toss a state under the bus just as well as her husband.


these are the only parts mentioning Texas:

"Five years ago today, the Supreme Court delivered justice with the
decision in Lawrence v. Texas that same-sex couples would never
again be persecuted through use of criminal law."

and
"Barack's got the courage to talk to skeptical audiences; not just
friendly ones. That's why he told a crowd at a rally in Texas that
gays
and lesbians deserve equality. Now, the crowd got pretty quiet.

And what do you suppose she's implying by that?

Hugh Hewitt tossed it out to Texans on his radio show tonight.
One caller said it makes him bitter and cling to his gun :).
