Obama Nominates Lesbian Activist To Employment Post By SUSAN BRINKMANN, For The Bulletin Sunday, October 18, 2009 thebulletin.us President Barack Obama has nominated a lesbian activist lawyer to serve as a member of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. In a recent White House announcement, President Obama nominated Chai Feldblum, a professor of law (gay studies) at Georgetown University who formerly worked for the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the pro-homosexual Human Rights Campaign Fund, to serve as one of five Commissioners on the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. In the mid-1980s, Ms. Feldblum clerked for Supreme Court Justice Harry A. Blackmum, the liberal Supreme Court justice who authored the Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion. “She has also worked on advancing lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) rights and has been a leading expert on the Employment Nondiscrimination Act,” said the White House’s Sept. 14 statement. Throughout her career, Ms. Feldblum has played a major role in pushing the LGBT agenda in American culture for the last 20 years. She is the primary author of the controversial Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) which prohibits workplace discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity, and disability for civilian nonreligious employers with over 15 employees. A well-known gay strategist, she advocates the use of “incrementalism” in achieving the gay agenda, using bills such as ENDA to bring about change in the workplace, then move to housing and public accommodations. In her paper, “Moral Conflict and Liberty: Gay Rights and Religion,” Ms. Feldblum argues for legislative and judicial “outcomes that will allow LGBT people to live lives of honesty and safety in today’s society.” She also believes that religious people who run businesses or operate other institutions have no right to deny services to gays, lesbians, bisexuals or transgendered persons. “As a general matter, once a religious person or institution enters the stream of commerce by operating an enterprise such as a doctor’s office, hospital, bookstore, hotel, treatment center and so on, I believe the enterprise must adhere to a norm of nondiscrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity.” According to Andrea Lafferty, executive director of the Traditional Values Coalition, “this means she wants the gay agenda to trump the First Amendment and religious freedom to impose the gay agenda on all Americans – including those with strongly held religious beliefs about homosexuality.” Peter LaBarbera, president of Americans for Truth About Homosexuality, agrees. "Chai Feldblum is on record saying that the battle between our religious freedoms and homosexual so-called rights is a zero sum game. She says she can't think of a case where the religious rights — in other words, our moral right to oppose homosexuality, our First Amendment freedom — trump their gay rights. So, effectively, Chai Feldblum is for superior rights for homosexuals, and I think that's very dangerous for our country." Ms. Feldblum has also been widely criticized for signing onto a radical online petition, the “Beyond Same-Sex Marriage: A New Strategic Vision for All Our Families and Relationships,” which advocates for polygamy and calls for a "new vision" for securing governmental and private institutional recognition of "diverse kinds of partnerships." Among the stated "partnerships" the petition seeks to protect is "households in which there is more than one conjugal partner." Same-sex marriage, the manifesto said, should be “just one option on a menu of choices that people have about the way they construct their lives” and advocates for “many other kinds of kinship relationships, households and families” to be afforded equal recognition. “Once again, President Obama has demonstrated there is no one too radical to serve in his administration,” Ms. Lafferty said. “By picking Feldblum, he has signaled to his many fringe group fans on the Left that he will help them accomplish all of their goals to undermine the Constitution and overturn biblical morality and decency in America.” The EEOC enforces federal anti-discrimination law in the workplace. Ms. Feldblum’s nomination was sent to the U.S. Senate on Sept. 15. If confirmed, she will serve a five year term.

That is a very good point and I believe it is accurate. Since FOX points it out and the other media outlets don't , FOX has become the enemy. What will he do when other outlets begin to question his integrity and his abilities. You can always tell when he knows he's screwed up----he plays the victim card, which is as embarrassing and undignified as the race card.

Barack's enemies list David Limbaugh : October 20, 2009 wnd.com Sorry to disillusion those of you who are still in denial about President Barack Obama's true socialistic and dictatorial nature, but this guy's militancy against his perceived enemies puts Richard Nixon's White House to shame. His war on Fox News is just his latest salvo. Obama's perceived enemies are all those who have the temerity not to roll over for his extreme agenda. They all must be demonized, marginalized and silenced by a president who has turned the Oval Office into a glorified street-organizing headquarters to attack his opponents. Indeed, this self-described uniter is the most divisive president in memory, and his uncontrollable ego can't countenance legitimate dissent. Consider: He has smeared medical doctors with reckless charges that they administer unnecessary courses of treatment for profit, e.g., tonsillectomies and limb amputations. He publicly berated Chrysler's senior creditors as a "small group of speculators" who "endanger Chrysler's future by refusing to sacrifice like everyone else," merely because they wouldn't acquiesce to his demands and insisted on asserting their contractual rights. He has demonized "big oil" and other energy producers, free-market capitalists, corporate executives, pharmaceutical companies, Republicans who oppose his health-care plan as dishonest and partisan, the wealthy, municipal policemen who dared arrest his Ivy League professor friend for disturbing the peace, pro-lifers, global warming skeptics, the CIA, the military, the best health-care system in the world and George W. Bush every time he needs cover for the inevitably negative consequences of his policies. He uses his White House blog to attack his political opponents. He condemned opponents of amnesty for illegal aliens as "demagogues." He foreshadowed his true nature in the campaign with his spontaneous denunciation of small-town Americans as bitterly clinging to their guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them. His administration has likened "tea party" protesters to an "angry mob" and "potential terrorists." His adviser David Axelrod has said they "are not in the mainstream and not in the majority" and represent "the angriest and most strident voices." In reference to opponents of his health-care scheme, he said in a speech to a joint session of Congress, "I will not waste time with those who have made the calculation that it's better politics to kill this plan than improve it." He also said: "I don't want the folks who created the mess to do a lot of talking. I want them just to get out of the way so (Democrats) can clean up the mess." And this: "If you misrepresent what is in this plan, we will call you out." He has targeted and vilified the entire insurance industry for daring to oppose his plan, describing them as "those who would bend the truth – or break it – to score political points and stop our progress as a country," and accusing them of "filling the airwaves with deceptive and dishonest ads ... designed to mislead the American people." Even the liberal New York Times acknowledged Obama's use of "unusually harsh terms" in attacking the industry as being "interested only in preserving their own 'profits and bonuses.'" And in a true Stalinesque intimidation move, he is threatening to repeal the industry's antitrust exemption. He has abused the office of the presidency to personally attack Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and conservative talk radio in general. As we speak, his "czars" are devising schemes to shut down that very medium. Now he has launched an orchestrated attack against the only television network that makes a sincere effort at offering balance, Fox News Channel, in an attempt to isolate, demonize and delegitimize the organization because it won't follow suit and join the state-run media. The administration is vacillating between boycotting and allowing some administration officials to appear on the network. Obama singled Fox out as "entirely devoted to attacking my administration." Rahm Emanuel said it's "not a news organization so much as it has a perspective." David Axelrod said, "It's really not news; it's pushing a point of view." Axelrod implored ABC's George Stephanopoulos and his network "not to treat (Fox) as a news organization." White House communications director Anita Dunn, who has bragged about her success at controlling the media, said Fox is "like a wing of the Republican Party" that "spouts Republican talking points." The common denominator of all these vicious White House attacks is that their targets are those who oppose the administration's agenda. Instead of selling its agenda the old-fashioned way – by convincing the unconvinced – it attacks those who dare to articulate and air the opposing point of view. This is a totalitarian, bullying administration, which is revealing its heightened state of panic and desperation over the public's growing awareness of the dangerousness of its policy prescriptions for America.
