Attack of the Gays

Well we've all seen the news clips of gays attacking churches, people on the street, little old ladies, and just general mayhem.

If one reads open (I.E. not controlled by left or right) email lists and blogs, the gays seemed to have picked Christians as to blame for them not getting the right to civil unions.

Now why would the Christians vote against this? It doesn't actually effect Christian marriage. Divorce and pornography are more of a threat to a Christian marriage, then same sex unions are. Yet it seems the Christians are the ones that did vote against the gays. Why?

For decades, gays have been taking Christian churches and private businesses to court to force them to follow whatever gay agenda was at hand. Now what the gays didn't count on, as they took a Catholic here, a Baptist there, and a Fundamentalist over in the corner to court, was that all Christians would see this as an attack on them, even if they were not of the same denomination or no denomination. So when a vote came up to allow the gays something, the Christians said "no".

The irony in all of this is Christians believe that they are "in this world, but not of it". It is the one voting bloc that would normally have voted to allow gays civil unions.

So the gay community has no one to blame, but themselves and their actions, for the last few decades for the way the vote turned out.

Ironic note: One gay protester was on the news yelling for those against him to leave "his" city. Bad news is he was yelling this from the streets of San Francisco (name for Saint Francis of Assisi. A saint that gave up all worldly goods, literally even the clothes on his back, and human passions to be the best Christian he could). So I guess that gay man, better move to a different city, if he was to follow his own logic...

Obama’s Lincoln?

According to Newsweek article Obama and some of his staff now seem to be looking into Abraham Lincoln's history for clues on how to run things. One case in point, "The theme of Obama's Inauguration is taken from a line in Lincoln's Gettysburg Address: 'A New Birth of Freedom.'"

Any follower of this blog already knows Obama is relying on history to run his campaign, and now his office. The truly interesting part is he ran his campaign using lessons from the NAZI party of pre-WWII Germany, and is now using Lincoln to run his office. Best we remember Lincoln had to deal with the only U.S. Civil war to date...
