  1. I find the religious Right’s fit over not being Trump’s sacred cow constituency rather amusing.

    Sorry we’ve decided to stop dying on your hills, boys. Now look up what “pluralism” means.

  3. “But, but, but the Narrative…”

    The prestigious NATO posting is one of the top 5 sensitive State Department ambassadorships; Great Britain, Russia, China, Japan and NATO. Canada and Australia are too drama-free to generally worry about, and the French posting is typically a political sinecure for a top supporter.

  4. It has to drive the left nuts that according to a Suffolk university poll, Pence-the-Gay-Electrocutioner is net 28 points more popular than the Party of Inclusion and Tolerance for All.

    Pence: 47%/35% (+12 favorable)
    Trump: 45%/47%
    GOP: 37%/48%
    Media: 37%/50%
    Dem Party: 36%/52% (-16 unfavorable)

    Actually, it doesn’t drive me nuts at all. And, is kind of expected that Pence’s numbers are higher than the actual President’s, considering the positioning his office did early on to separate himself from the Russian “scandal” and the fact that a good chunk of liberals and right centrists (more people polled here voted for Clinton than Trump) are actually going to have a “favourable” view of Pence based just on the fact that they would rather have him be president than Tr*mp. Jesus.

    And people on here call me a moron.

    Yeah, um, sure.

  7. You go to the usual gay blog suspects, they’re all just fuming and calling him a traitor and the “token gay” and how it’s an irrelevant job and all their usual frantic bitterness is on full display.

  8. Congratulations to Rick Grenell.

    Kind of surprised GP is getting into identity politics. But I’m not one of those ignorant liberals who thinks Trump is anti-gay (even though most on this blog would believe that; f*cking fools).

    However, it’s questionable how supportive Trump will be of trans issues. He said on the campaign trail that he didn’t care which bathroom they used (did you conveniently forget that GP?). But, now he’s withdrawing federal protections for trans students. But, I also know that this blog and most of the people who comment on it don’t give a f*ck and have degrees in psychological who think trans is a mental health condition. Because, they’re, um, experts.

  9. See, I guess that’s ultimately why I don’t care for the Life Site or Tumblr crowd: they both think that the issues that they really care about that normal Americans don’t need to be raised to the level of global crisis.

    Mind you, I’m more inclined to give the social conservatives’ grievances the time of day: I for one can’t see the Left’s “It’s my lifeless clump of cells, and I want it aborted now!” as anything other than some sort of modern-day Moloch-worship.

    But for crying out loud, guys, complaining that the homosexual ambassador to the UN said that homophobia is a thing that some Christians need to address and then starting to get all “Protocols of Zion” on him doesn’t really disprove his point.

  11. Hmmm. I’ m thinking Westboro, Scientology and the Gay Gestapo operate about the same. Fringe groups tend to be overpopulated with people who have personal, emotional and dependency needs. They focus on attitudinal rebelliousness, they are looking for authority and have an exaggerated defensiveness and intolerance of critics.

    So, this openly gay man appointed as US Ambassador to NATO is an “activist” for gay marriage. If he somehow puts his gay marriage ideology in conflict with his job as Ambassador to NATO then he will have to be fired.

    I doubt he is that stupid.

    But will the Gay Gestapo get all petulant if he does not use his position to drive their agenda? That remains to be seen.

    In the post directly above (USDA Threatens to Shut Down Family Farm for Opposing Gay Marriage) you have this Gay Gestapo petulance writ large.

    Although I continue to see gay “marriage” as an accommodation based on emotional and doctrinaire pressure, I have no inclination whatsoever to shun or fear or hate or disrespect any of the gay “married” couples I know or couples that I may meet. In fact, I know far more long time gay couples than I know “married” gay couples.

    My point is personal. If someone draws the line of friendship based on someone’s sexual orientation, that is his loss and his problem — not mine. And I don’t need the USDA to take time away from important duties to police the politics and ideology of a chicken farmer. Nor do I care to have the Ambassador of NATO spend his time on the job pushing gay marriage or man-made climate change or giving sanctuary to illegal aliens or being a lobbyist for George Soros, Madonna or North Korea.

  12. “Ric was essentially hounded by the far right and far left,” said Log Cabin Republicans Executive Director R. Clarke Cooper in a statement.

    Grenell’s full statement:

    I have decided to resign from the Romney campaign as the Foreign Policy and National Security Spokesman. While I welcomed the challenge to confront President Obama’s foreign policy failures and weak leadership on the world stage, my ability to speak clearly and forcefully on the issues has been greatly diminished by the hyper-partisan discussion of personal issues that sometimes comes from a presidential campaign. I want to thank Governor Romney for his belief in me and my abilities and his clear message to me that being openly gay was a non-issue for him and his team.

  13. That old horse has been beaten for so-long that it’s Tartar Steak — prepared in the traditional manner, left under a saddle for two days of hard riding. The far Left and the far-Right have both been hoping Pres. Trump would open the camps in Montana, for opposite reasons of-course, but.

    It’s not going to happen.

    Pres. Trump probably has more gay friends, business associates and clients than every preceding POTUS combined. He attended an all-maile military prep school. His political mentor was Roy Kohn, the two of them hung-out at Studio 54 for years for the Lord’s Sake. Before, during and after Ivana he was a BOLD-FACE regular in the party scene in Manhattan. Only the Gods Old and New know what he’s personally witnessed…

    It’s not going to happen.

  16. The most notable part of the quoted story isn’t that it came from LifeSiteNews, but the byline of the author. Peter LaBarbara, an alleged heterosexual, has long had an obsession with homosexuality and gay issues. It would be like Richard Spencer writing an article about a Jewish appointee in the Trump Administration and expecting it to be objective.

    Regardless, the appointment of Ric Grenell is welcome news, particularly when the other positions he was rumored to be under consideration for never materialized. And if anyone thinks that he might promote a “personal agenda”, I would ask that you look at the position he is nominated for. How would the Permanent Representative To NATO have anything to do with social issues, other than perhaps insisting that the bathrooms at NATO headquarters be ‘trans-friendly’? (Which he would have the class never to mandate.)

  17. However, it’s questionable how supportive Trump will be of trans issues. He said on the campaign trail that he didn’t care which bathroom they used […]. But, now he’s withdrawing federal protections for trans students.

    Let’s not confuse “support for trans issues” with “catering to every whim of the trans and LGBTQXYZ lobby”. And let’s also remember that the ‘federal protections for trans students’ never went into effect in the first place. So the disingenuous twits acting like the world ended with breathless anticipation of the coming concentration camps upon the update of the DOEd order need to save their breath for truly important issues.

    While we’re at it, the federal protections from the Department Of Education essentially hinged on redefining “sex” as defined in Title IX, enacted in 1972, to also include ‘gender’. As pointed out by the Trump Administration and others, this has possibly disastrous effects for the people that Title IX was enacted to protect—women born women. Already in 2017 we have a State Girls Wrestling Champion in Texas who is a testosterone-enhanced biological female portending to be male. While the fault with this seems to lie primarily with the refusal of the state school athletics commission to deal with the matter in a swift and definitive way, future cases could be litigated using Title IX as a defense. This is a disservice to all of those women-born-women who have struggled through the years to have parity in sports and other educational activities. But that little snag mattered not to the virtue-signalers in the administration of President Boyfriend, because as long as it made him look like the Cool President, it’s all that mattered (particularly so that President Hillary Clinton wouldn’t have to make a decision early in her presidency which looked like she was governing with her lady parts.)

    Oh, and President Donald J. Trump still doesn’t care what bathroom anyone uses.
