If you want proof (as if proof is still needed) that most of national gay organizations are little more than front groups for the Democratic Party, who see their purpose not to try to change the minds of those with less than charitable views of gay people, just note how the silence of so many on former Vice President Dick Cheney’s commentary on gay issues.
Guess these groups are uncomfortable with how a man like Dick Cheney challenges their prejudices about conservatives.
Instead of ignoring this good man, they should be celebrating him. Just when he stepped down as Vice President, few (if any) singled him out for having dared to differ with then-President George W. Bush on the Federal Marriage Amendment and for treating his daughter as we would want every parent to treat a gay child.
Guess it’s just not right to praise one designated an official villain of the American left.
Reader Leah sends this clip of the former Vice President and his wife, once again, providing an example for all parents to emulate:
No. He doesn’t fit the liberal template; therefore, he will try to be destroyed by the MSM like Sarah Palin & any other strong Conservative Republican.
Yeah, about the same time they give Bush credit for protecting the USA from al Qaeda, rebuilding the economy after 9-11-2001, and giving millions of Arabs a shot at Democracy,
Also, Cheney’s daughter seems to be a pretty together sort of person, not a walking disaster area like Chaz Bono or Al Gore III. Whether this speaks more the quality of Mr. and Mrs. Cheney’s parenting or to her personal character, I can’t say.
Chaz Bono is a screwed up chick with issues.
NO!

Dick Cheney may be a neo-con, but when it comes to gay marriage, he’s still downright progressive.
The former vice president reaffirmed his support for same-sex marriage alongside his wife Lynne on Tuesday’s “The View.”
“I think freedom means freedom for everybody,” said the 70-year-old, who is on a book tour promoting his memoir.
“And you ought to have the right to make whatever choice you want to make with respect to your own personal situation. I certainly don’t have a problem with it,” added Cheney, whose daughter, Mary, is a lesbian.
