Actually, if Obama had a son he probably wouldn’t look like act like a football player…. and his book shelf trophies would be ‘participation’ not achievement.
A football career would be out of bounds for any son of President Obama, who compared the game to smoking in an interview with The New Yorker.
“I would not let my son play pro football,” the First Fan said in a POTUS profile for the magazine’s Jan. 27 issue. (link)
Were it not for the demands of the militant gay wing within the progressive caucus this Boy Scouting change would be of far less significance. But… against the backdrop of recent events this change may just strike a more confrontational note.
However, that said, it seems obvious to me the storied ratcheting up of angst is just what the militant gays wants to happen. There is no way all of these recent gender orientation events in the media could be considered *coincidental…..
[*I’m actually reluctant to post these continual media presentations because it might: 1.) just devolve into an anti-gay discussion, and 2.) play right into the intents of the media scripters.]ASSOCIATED PRESS – The Boy Scouts of America will accept openly gay youths starting on New Year’s Day, a historic change that has prompted the BSA to ponder a host of potential complications – ranging from policies on tentmates and showers to whether Scouts can march in gay pride parades.
Yet despite their be-prepared approach, BSA leaders are rooting for the change to be a non-event, comparable to another New Year’s Day in 2000 when widespread fears of digital-clock chaos to start the new millennium proved unfounded.
“My hope is there will be the same effect this Jan. 1 as the Y2K scare,” said Brad Haddock, a BSA national executive board member who chairs the policy implementation committee. “It’s business as usual, nothing happens and we move forward.” (more…)
Some people wonder why CNN is in such a poor state of viewership. In this clip from Anderson Cooper you can see exactly why the ratings of the media outlet are plummeting with exponential severity.
Most people know that Anderson Cooper is the son of fashion icon Gloria Vanderbilt, but look at this panel and you can understand why viewers tune out. Anderson’s panel includes gay activist and extremist Dan Savage, and gay activist and media reporter Andrew Sullivan. To them this is just a typical coffee table conversation – but when you think about it broadcast into peoples homes, well, you decide:
The A&E Statement:
As a global media content company, A+E Networks’ core values are centered around creativity, inclusion and mutual respect. We believe it is a privilege for our brands to be invited into people’s home and we operate with a strong sense of integrity and deep commitment to these principles.
That is why we reacted so quickly and strongly to a recent interview with Phil Robertson. While Phil’s comments made in the interview reflect his personal views based on his own beliefs, and his own personal journey, he and his family have publicly stated they regret the “coarse language” he used and the mis-interpretation of his core beliefs based only on the article. He also made it clear he would “never incite or encourage hate.” We at A+E Networks expressed our disappointment with his statements in the article, and reiterate that they are not views we hold.

HatTip GWP – A gay business owner told police in November he was attacked and beaten because he was gay. His claim included marking his own head with a gay slur to give validity to his accusations. However, now police have determined the victim actually falsified the entire incident. Here’s the initial report:

(Via Raw Story) The producer and creator of the A&E show “Duck Dynasty” once starred in a dark, homoerotic indie film about the gay porn industry called “The Fluffer.”
BuzzFeed reported Friday that in 2001, Scott Gurney played a “gay-for-pay” meth addict who acts in erotic videos. The film premiered that year at the Toronto Film Festival.
“The Fluffer” revolved around the destructive relationship between Gurney’s character and a gay college student — played by Michael Cunio — employed to keep Gurney aroused on set during filming. For now, noted BuzzFeed reporter Kate Arthur, the film remains proudly displayed on Gurney’s IMDB page.
The revelation provides an interesting — and some would say amusing — counterpoint to the media flap that has swept up around remarks by “Duck Dynasty” Phil Robertson. (read more)
