My Interview On Parcbench

I’m pleased to announce that I have a three part interview appearing in Parcbench.  Part One is out today with the other two to follow in the upcoming month.  Do you wonder how I could possibly be christian, conservative and…gay?  This interview will help answer your questions.  Check it out here and please leave your comments so Parcbench knows that this kind of content is interesting.

Bravo To Conservatives For Booing Ryan Sorba!

Thank you to my conservative brothers and sisters for booing this jackass from the stage.  Division will get us nowhere.  Conservatives stand for individual freedom – for everyone!

Tiger Woods’ Mistresspalooza

I usually do not discuss much on tabloid fodder here at Freedom’s Wings, but as more women pop out of the woodwork (was that a bad choice of words?) I find myself giving our society a hard look.  It comes as no surprise that a rich, world-famous and good-looking athlete has been stepping out on his wife and at a pace that would make George Clooney jealous.  What I take issue with is how our society seems to be dealing with an individual that appears to have the moral compass of pond scum.  And I do believe that Tiger Woods is pond scum.

Our society bellows against gay marriage and yet seems to take no issue with an individual that does not value marriage.  I have been faithful to my partner for over fifteen years now and that is without the benefit of a certificate or the embrace and support of society.  And yet, I have heard interview after interview of local golfers here in Florida and people around the nation asking them their opinion on Mistresspalooza (I claim creation rights to that -ha) and these men and WOMEN just shrug their shoulders and claim that it does not change their opinion of him and that it is a private matter.  I am sorry, this is not a private issue when this pond scum makes money off of endorsing products he wants me to buy and when he is world-famous and supposedly a person that kids look up to.  Not to mention that he is the reason why golf has made such a comeback.

And speaking of endorsements, Nike, Gatorade and Gillette have all come forward and stated that they are sticking by their man.  As if Tiger Woods is the victim?!  Why do contracts have moral clauses anyway?  I do not buy any of those products anyway, but I would think long and hard before I did as long as they continue to stick by their man.  This kind of behavior should be shamed to the point that Tiger Woods would have a hard time ever playing golf again because of the letter A on his back.  This man not only has no consideration for women, treating his wife this way and using mistresses like prostitutes (what would you call it if he had paid them immediately after having sex with them?) but he has no consideration for his children.  Tiger’s father seems to have been a beautiful man whom Tiger proudly shared with all of us.  His children sure are going to have a father to be proud of in the future when they learn the truth.

Unfortunately, the reaction to Tiger Woods’ infidelity reflects more on what America has become than on Woods himself.  A society that pulls prayer, nativities, the Ten Commandments and God from the center square really should not have more expected of them I suppose.  And although I do not support gay marriage, I guess I will have to continue to endure how my relationship is so sinful and dangerous to the family, while people like Tiger Woods are continued to be held up and forgiven even when they have not asked for it or done anything to deserve redemption.

Wonder how the One feels about that cover of Golf Digest he did with Tiger Woods?  That comes out this week I believe.

Obama Hoodwinks The Gay Activists

Someday, my fellow gay sisters and brothers will awaken to the fact that the Democrat Party uses them for their votes. The most recent bone thrown to the gay community was yet another hate crime law. Gay people should be sick to death of these worthless and pandering hate crime laws. If someone kills me, I really do not care why they killed me – I’m dead! Murder is a hate crime! Beating me up is a hate crime regardless of why one beats me up. These laws are a waste of time and money and give gay people nothing tangible to hold.  And they certainly do not meet the promises that Obama ladled on the gay community to bamboozle them for votes.

Tonight the President is slated to address the Human Rights Campaign at a dinner gala.  Why is the Human Rights Campaign allowing Obama to address them?  They are not unaware that the Obama administration attempted to dismiss the first gay marriage filed in federal court.  And the Spokesmoron remarked that the President will refer to the hate crimes bills tonight to try to shine light on his fading gay star.  Gibbs said, “The hate crimes protections are long overdue in the president’s opinion and believes that their passage represents an important step, and looks forward to, when the legislation gets to his desk, signing it and making that the law of the land.”  Gee thanks, Mr. President.

How about you do something real, Mr. President?  How about you allow gay people to serve openly in the military?  Hundreds serve this country with honor in the shadows.  I thought you wanted to bring people out of the shadows or does that only count for criminal invaders?  Seventy percent of Americans support gay people serving their country openly.  And civil union support is ever increasing.  Even if you will not go for the whole kit-and-kaboodle with this, how about building up to it by opening up benefits for partners?

Politico reports:

Obama has also been doused with criticism by many gay activists for his slow pace on redeeming campaign promises to end a ban on gays and lesbians from serving openly in the military and pushing tough nondiscrimination policies.  Instead, Obama has taken a slow and incremental approach to the politically charged issues. He has expanded some federal benefits to same-sex partners, but not health benefits or pension guarantees. He has allowed State Department employees to include their same-sex partners in certain embassy programs already available to opposite-sex spouses.

But that remains far short of his campaign rhetoric.

“At its core, this issue is about who we are as Americans,” Obama said a 2007 statement on gay issues. “It’s about whether this nation is going to live up to its founding promise of equality by treating all its citizens with dignity and respect.”  And even before Obama took office, he disappointed gay and lesbian activists who objected to the invitation to evangelist Rev. Rick Warren’s participation in the inauguration despite Warren’s support for repealing gay marriage in California.  Since taking office, Obama has publicly has committed himself to repealing the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy that allows gays and lesbians to serve in the military as long as they don’t disclose their sexual orientation or act on it. On Jan. 9, Gibbs answered “yes” when asked whether the administration would end a policy that has seen the dismissal of more than 12,000 troops after their sexual orientation was revealed.  But as president, Obama hasn’t taken any concrete steps urging Congress to rescind the Clinton-era policy that some former chairmen of the Joint Chiefs of Staff have acknowledged is flawed.  Yet the office of the current chairman, Adm. Mike Mullen, signed off on a journal article that called for lifting the ban, arguing that the military is forcing thousands of military members to live dishonest lives.

And gay activists still are waiting on DOMA to be repealed, which was signed into law by Democrat President Clinton.  I personally do not care if people define marriage as between one man and one woman.  I just do not think it is any of the government’s business.  So Obama will give his big pandering empty speech and the Human Rights Campaign will applaud and we will continue down this same road we have followed for years.  Some day the gay people will wake up.

UPDATE:  The speech was as empty as expected.  Even libs in Seattle are turning!  Check this out:

Gay Marriage

Last night I heard a fellow conservative joke on his radio program that lesbians did have a right to marry: they could marry a man.  Same goes for gay men – they have a right to marry women.  This started a debate in my mind about the tactics of both those on the left and right and how conservatives must not allow themselves to follow the path of the moonbats.  The left wants to add “rights” to the Constitution and when a conservative banters that gays have the right to marry people of the opposite gender it would seem they are suggesting that marriage is a right.  After much thought, I put my opinion down on paper as an exclusive at the Conservative Alliance Media Network website.  You can find the article here and I encourage you to register and leave your comments about the post in the forum – I would love to hear them.

Democrats Want To Protect Pedophiles Now

The Democrats just threw gay people under the proverbial bus again.  Gay people are continuously fighting this idea that we are pedophiles because many times this crime is committed as man on boy.  Some people do not define pedophilia as its own orientation – a very sick orientation and one that I believe should be punished with life in prison because they cannot be rehabilitated.  When the Democrats would not allow an amendment to be included on to hate crimes legislation that would exclude pedophiles from that protection, it was like the Democrats were saying that gay people are pedophiles.  Otherwise, what is the issue with adding the amendment?

The bill is called “The Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act”.  This bill puts 547 different forms of sexual deviancies on the same level as race, religion, ethnicity, gender, orientation and disability.  Alcee Hastings, a Democrat from Florida ( much to my chagrin), read off a partial list of these “isms” and “philias”.  Republican Louie Gohmert from Texas decided that the bill needed an amendment to make sure that pedophilia would not be protected under this new bill.  The amendment was handily defeated by the Democrats.  Thus, the Democrats have equated homosexuality and pedophilia.  And this piece of crap bill also equates homosexuality with necrophilia and other deviant behavior.

Now I understand that there are those on the far religious right that think homosexuality is deviant anyway and so you could care less what I believe.  I do not support hat crimes legislation.  I believe any abuse or murder is a hate crime.  There does not need to be special protection for this.  All crimes of this nature should have the same punishment – very harsh sentences.  So I believe S909 should be derailed, period.  But especially because of the reasons cited above.  And I would just personally like to thank the Democrats for once again blind siding the gay people who follow along behind you blindly and lumping us all in with very sick and twisted individuals.

Gay people – WAKE UP!!!

Gay Conservativism On The Freedom’s Wings Show Tonight

Tonight I will be joined by a special guest on my radio show: Jimmy LaSalvia who is Executive Director of GOProud which you can find at http://goproud.org.  GOProud advocates for federal public policy initiatives consistent with its mission which is representing gay conservatives and their supporters in Washington D.C.  They support policies that promote the power of individuals, limit government’s reach, enable economic growth through free market principles, and strengthen America’s position in the world, all core conservative values.  They also support candidates for federal office who share GOProud’s priorities.

Jimmy is a longtime Republican activist who has held volunteer and professional staff positions in Republican campaigns and party organizations in South Dakota and Kentucky, including serving on the campaign staff of former South Dakota Governor Walter D. Miller. He has also previously worked as a development officer for Kentucky Opera and as a real estate broker in Louisville, Kentucky. In 2006 he joined the national staff of Log Cabin Republicans, first as Grassroots Outreach Director then as Director of Programs and Policy. He helped to build the organization across the country and lobbied to pass pro-gay legislation in state capitols and in Washington.

We’ll discuss Jimmy’s political career, his personal experiences, GOProud and gay conservativism in general.  I’ll also be taking callers.  Join us tonight at 6pm ET http://www.blogtalkradio.com/freedomswings for a great discussion!

Wake-Up Fellow Gays – Obama Used You!

I have been clamoring for years that the Democrat party has only used gay people to get elected into office and could really care less about the community.  After a Democrat gets into office, he/she throws the gay community under the bus.  And I sit back and watch as they get upset and wonder what went wrong and then continue the cycle over and over and over…I found just such a post today here.

When I visited Barack Obama’s campaign website and then later the whitehouse.gov website, I found paragraphs of actions the President planned to take to help the gay community.  Most gays I am sure were very excited, but I was not fooled.  I knew Obama had admitted he did not support gay marriage and I remembered that he was one of the few presidential candidates who did not show up for the LOGO debate.  LOGO is a cable channel with gay programming.  So it has come as no surprise to me that the whitehouse.gov website has erased most of their “gay friendly” material and replaced it with two sentences:

“President Obama also continues to support the Employment Non-Discrimination Act and believes that our anti-discrimination employment laws should be expanded to include sexual orientation and gender identity. He supports full civil unions and federal rights for LGBT couples and opposes a constitutional ban on same-sex marriage.”

Matt Algren who wrote the article I linked too concluded,  “Mr. President, I’m disappointed that you’ve decided your LGBT constituents are expendable. I’m frustrated that like you’ve stolen back the commitment you made before the vast majority of our community voted for you. I hope I’m wrong on this, but assuming this wasn’t some clerical error or something, I don’t see any other way to figure it.”

Matt, my message to you and the rest of my fellow gays is to wake up!  They have been doing this to us for years as well as every other minority.  I threw out my Democrat membership almost a decade ago after voting for Clinton twice and getting nowhere.  I realized that the true place I belonged was with Constitution-loving and freedom-loving Americans like conservatives.  I know the religious right-wing rejects gay people, but give the rest of the conservatives a chance.  You might be surprised.

Kudos To Miss California 2009

UPDATE:  June 10, 2009  Carrie Prejean has now been stripped of her Miss California title for breach of contract because she has not made personal appearances that she was contractually obligated to fulfill.  Where exactly would that be condoned in the Christian world?  You have to be a person of your word Carrie if you want to maintain respect and for me personally, I truly find my initial support of you something that may have been given too quickly.  I do support your right of free speech and your rejection of gay marriage, Carrie,  but as someone who has thrust herself into the spotlight as a Christian representative, you have to live at a different standard.  Here was the statement from the Miss California Organization, “The Miss California USA Organization, in conjunction with the Miss Universe Organization and with the blessing of its owner, Mr. Donald J. Trump, announced today the termination of Carrie Prejean as Miss California USA 2009, citing continued breach of contract issues.”

UPDATE:  May 1st, 2009  My support for Carrie Prejean is waning.  Last night, I watched Ms. Prejean being interviewed by Greta Van Sustren.  Greta asked Miss California her opinion on civil unions.  Several times Ms. Prejean answered that she was not a politician and needed to study the matter more.  Hmm…why was this not her answer at the pageant then?  Greta asked for her opinion – the same thing I have supported her for giving at the pageant.  Now I think she is catering to the group that is using her new found fame to support their fight against gay marriage.  After all, she did say at the pageant that this is America and people could choose what they want.  And even worse, she appears to have turned her back on the cause she had promised herself to: the Special Olympics.  And her promoters are none too happy.  When you turn your back on the disabled for your fame, I take issue with you.

As a Christian conservative gay woman, I feel that I should comment on the controversy that occured at the Miss USA contest.  Despicable gay activist Perez Hilton was a judge on the panel at the event.  Let me be clear that this man does not represent the gay community in whole and most definately does not represent me.  For one, he should never have asked a question about gay marriage at this type of event.  Politics do not belong at a beauty contest.  But even if that was acceptable to me, the reaction of this twit to the answer is atrocious. 

Miss California was asked her opinion about gay marriage and I have to commend her for sticking to her convictions.  And her conviction is that marriage should be between a man and a woman.  She answered in a pleasant way explaining that she did not want to offend anyone.  That was a fair answer.  I applaud her for sticking to her principles.  Perez Hilton handled the situation quite differently.  He blasted Miss California on the internet calling her a dumb b%$#%.  Charming indeed.  What is most laughable to me is that I am sure Hilton is one of those gay men who stays in a relationship for five minutes.  I could be wrong, but I doubt that.

As I have stated before, I believe government should have nothing to do with marriage, period.  It should be something between the couple, their church and their God.  Defining marriage as being between a man and a woman is fine with me.  Marriage has lost its lustre as far as I am concerned anyway since half of them end in divorce.  What I do believe should happen on the legal end of things is contracts for unions for straights and gays.  It should be just as difficult for straight people to be together as it is for gay people.  A couple would enter into a contract that gives all the legal rights and inheritance issues to each other.  That couple could be any two people, so even if an older widowed parent enters into the contract with their single offspring in order to obtain benefits that is fine with me.  I do not even have a problem with polygamy, but when it comes to the contract only one spouse can enter into the contract.  I am a Libertarian in this area and believe live and let live.

I have a right to my opinion and Miss California has a right to hers and should not be thrashed for it or even be marked down in a competition for her answer.  As for Perez Hilton – go crawl under a rock where you belong, Snake.

Obama Appoints Gay Activist Pope Basher To Faith Based Council

Nothing this President does surprises me when it comes to religion, especially when considering that he sat for twenty years in a Marxist and racist church.  Also, when one considers how eager he was to point out to the world that America is not a Christian nation, the thought that he would place a “Pope bashing” activist on his Faith Based Council is not shocking.  As a gay Christian, I am appalled that this man has been chosen for this position.  Yet again, I am being represented by a libtard gay activist extremist.  That is why I am so vocal about being gay.  It is not because I want to shove it down people’s throats, I want them to realize that there are many gay people out here like myself that are conservative and Christian and just want to live their lives with the freedom that this great country affords us – at least presently.  I am not a Catholic and so I do not feel the same way that Catholics feel about the Pope but I still treat him with reverence and respect.

House Republican Conference Chairman Mike Pence has called on the President to withdraw the appointment of this gay activist to the White House advisory council on faith-based programs because the activist has called the Pope a “discredited leader” in the past and has attacked other Christian leaders.  Rep. Pence said, “Appointing a man who has publicly attacked the pope and other religious leaders for their support of traditional marriage is deeply offensive to millions of Americans and the faith-based community he is appointed to serve. I call on the president to withdraw this appointment and select a person who can serve the faith-based community with the respect and dignity it deserves.”

The activist’s name is Harry Knox and he had told a Bay Area Reporter, a San Francisco-based gay newspaper: “The Knights of Columbus do a great deal of good in the name of Jesus Christ, but in this particular case, they were foot soldiers of a discredited army of oppression.”  He was referring to Prop 8 which I did not support.

I am no fan of Rick Warren, but Harry Knox’s criticism of him went too far as well.  Knox said on the PBS News Hour in December that Warren “has in fact leveraged homophobia to get ahead in his career. … This is the worst possible choice the president could have made. This is a divisive choice. … We said to the president-elect today in very strong language, the strongest we can think of and be respectful of the office, you have really slapped us. And we want you to think about that and think very hard what your actions will be going forward because this very symbolic, early decision has sent the exact wrong message.”

Actually, Mr. Knox, you are the worst possible choice the President could make.
