Bye-Bye Barack!

Duane Wells hits another one out of the park:

. . .

I never thought I’d say this, but Mr. Obama’s duplicitous stance on gay and lesbian rights circa the Donnie McClurkin controversy has given me something of an appreciation for George W. Bush’s no-nonsense approach to politics. I may not agree with a thing that comes out of curious George’s mouth, but at least he doesn’t piss in my cornflakes and tell me that he filled the bowl with whole milk. No sir. If there is a good thing to be said about President Bush it’s that he will tell you he’s going to piss in your cornflakes, then he will actually piss in your cornflakes and then he will hold a press conference defending his right to piss in your cornflakes. There’s no deception. It’s honest and clear… whether you like it or not. With Obama that is unfortunately not the case.

. . .

Clearly the senator from Illinois could have done with a bit of the sage advice my grandmother gave me when I was growing when she said, “you can’t please all of the people all of the time” and that “you got to stand for something or you’ll fall for anything.”

. . .

What Obama is balancing is the fundamental recognition of the rights of an entire slice of America that cuts across all racial, social and economic boundaries. There is no quid pro quo. Either Obama believes that gay and lesbian Americans deserve the same rights and privileges as all Americans or he does not. It’s a simple choice and Senator Obama has blatantly shown that he does not value gay and lesbian voters as much as he does his Christian constituency in the south…

. . .

By denying our humanity and our equality, Barack Obama spat in the face of gay and lesbian America this past weekend and then put out his hand and begged us to shake it. That’s one peace offering I will gladly decline because I don’t think he should have a place at our table or be welcome in our homes or in our community any longer.
