GLBT Activists Participate in Vulgar Display at White House Sponsored Event

Thoroughly disgusting, but sadly not surprising.

Oh just wait until the second coronation of BHO is concluded. This will pale in comparison of things to come.

Well, I’m sure it made them feel better, kinda like that one kid who likes to moon the crowd at high-school football games.  Probably got high-fives from their buddies,  “Hee-hee, I gave Reagan the finger”.

Isn’t that special.
Now grow up.

I’m sure glad we’re in an era of civil, reasoned political discourse now.

Those who don’t know history are bound to look dumb. From <a ref=“http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2012/06/22/gay-activists-know-nothing-about-reagan-history”>Breitbart News</a>:

...The internet is abuzz today about a recent trip of gay rights activists to the White House. A few activists took photos of themselves “flipping the bird” to a portrait of Ronald Reagan. One of them even wrote “f&%k Reagan” on their Facebook page. Apparently they don’t realize that Reagan did more for gay rights than any other President. Moreover, Reagan campaigned on behalf of gay rights before he was President at great personal risk to his future political career. 

Presumably the trip was to meet with the Administration about Obama’s bold endorsement of the status quo on gay marriage. Obama made headlines by saying that, while he personally supports gay marriage, he thinks some states should have the right to ban it. Gay activists, of course, are leftists first, so they have applauded this having-it-both-ways stance. These activists would do well to read up on some history and see what real leadership looks like.

In 1978, conservative California state Senator John Briggs pushed an initiative onto the state ballot to prohibit the hiring of homosexuals as teachers. Keep in mind, this was the height of Anita Bryant’s crusade against homosexuals and much of the conservative grass-roots were decidedly opposed to the concept of “gay rights.” Reagan had been out of the governor’s office for several years and was preparing to run again for President. Support for the initiative was very strong initially and every political calculus would have argued that Reagan stay out of the fight. But, Reagan wasn’t a normal politician.

Out of personal conviction that individuals should only be judged on their merits, Reagan campaigned against the initiative. He even went to so far as to pen on op-ed against it in the closing days of the campaign. The initiative was soundly defeated.

David Mixner, a leading gay rights advocate who organized opposition to the initiative was unequivocal in his credit to Reagan on the victory:

<blockquote>  There is no doubt in my mind that the man who put us over the top was California Governor Ronald Reagan. His opposition to Proposition 6 killed it for sure.

A leader takes action even at the risk of near-term political loss. Reagan’s silence on the initiative would have been understandable as a political calculation. He was very soon going to need the support of conservatives to win the GOP nomination. But, Reagan was driven by something far higher than politics. A belief in liberty and individual freedom animated everything he did….</blockquote>

Good to see this on Drudge—millions of Americans will see it and have further demonstrations of the mental and emotional age of gay activists.

Remember - this demographic of people have convinced themselves that Reagan created AIDS. 

What’s Jay Carney’s “spin” going to be??

Festivus - or…wait to see what destruction is wrought to the White House if that Bolshevik doesn’t get reelected.  Clinton’s team destroyed the place on the way out.  I can’t imagine what team Obama will do.

Except, #5, the issue isn’t the issue.

I just consider the source.  Their actions show their utter contempt for those who dare to oppose them.

Ummmm. Crab cakes don’t go with canapés. But, we wouldn’t have crab cakes if crabs didn’t follow the order of creation. Think about it.

Such class. What an effective way to communicate! They come across as so mature and thoughtful and obviously intelligent. My son is a Marine, and I can only hope he hasn’t heard about this “reception” at which a Marine Corps band played. I’m sure most of those poor Marines were not happy campers.

Way to win an argument girls.  Middle fingers up for Zoe, Matty and Mark!!

Caption:  I see your argument contains many curse words.  You must really know what you’re talking about.

Reports of the incident have now hit the major wire services.

Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.

Garcon, my wine isn’t at the perfect serving temperature.  And my crab cakes aren’t seasoned properly.  And the band’s selection is too stereotypically gay.  And I probably won’t be invited back because my prop for the photo op with the Reagan picture wasn’t a newspaper.  And I’m not getting enough sympathy or attention.

I’m assuming Vaughn Walker didn’t participate in this exhibitionism?

Ah yes, giving the finger to the man who appointed the man who was allowed to throw a monkey wrench into Prop 8. Maybe these “protesters” are so angry because they support traditional marriage?

When President Reagan died in 2004, at least one staunchly pro-gay advocate was honest enough to reject the vicious canard that Reagan was somehow almost single-handedly responsible for the spread of AIDS because he “didn’t care about the lives of gay people.”

This is from Dale Carpenter’s article, Reagan and AIDS: A Reassessment, which appeared at the time in San Francisco’s own Bay Area Reporter, somewhat surprisingly enough.  Mr. Carpenter is himself a gay activist. 

Though exaggerated and somewhat misplaced, the negligence theory is arguable. The malice theory is a calumny.

. . .

Yes, we could have spent more, but that can always be said of federal spending. And it’s unclear that additional funding would have accomplished much. “You could have poured half the national budget into AIDS in 1983, and it would have gone down a rat hole,” says Michael Fumento, an author specializing in health and science issues. We simply didn’t know enough about the disease early on to spend huge sums wisely.

Gay journalist Bob Roehr, who has closely followed AIDS developments for 20 years, concurs. “I have little reason to believe that a different course of action by Reagan would have significantly altered the scientific state of knowledge” toward a “cure” or vaccine, he says.

Aside from spending, it was Reagan’s surgeon general who sent the first-ever bulletin to all American homes warning explicitly about AIDS transmission. Reagan created the first presidential commission dealing with AIDS. And, in 1988, Reagan barred discrimination against federal employees with HIV.

As for Reagan being a murderer, we should remember that he didn’t give anybody AIDS. We ourselves bear the lion’s share of responsibility for that.
