Obama will use bully pulpit for homosexual rights (03.03 Briefing)

FireSociety.com - Steve Elliott - Tue, 2024-11-26 14:48
03.03.09 Briefing From the Desk of STeve Elliott Obama Fully Out Of The Closet On Homosexual Rights Over the past few days, Barack Obama has come out very strongly in favor of homosexual rights, even using a reference to Jesus' Sermon on the Mount as justification for his position. He most clearly articulated the position last Thursday in an open letter on LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transexual) equality. You can read that here . Interestingly, he only used the abbreviation LGBT and never in the letter articulates those "bisexual" or "transsexual." In the letter, he states his strong support of LGBT rights, including urging states "to treat same-sex couples with full equality in their family and adoption laws." He endorses civil unions and pledges to use the "bully pulpit" to push for these changes Obama tries to draw a bright line distinction between "homosexual marriage" (which he says he doesn't "believe in") and "civil unions" (which he heartily endorses. It is a distinction without a difference since Obama's civil unions would convey all the rights and privileges of marriage -- including full adoption rights. It sounds entirely Clintonesque to me (Bill Clinton, that is). On Sunday Obama used the Bible ...

Virtual Fence Fails (02.28.08 Briefing)

FireSociety.com - Steve Elliott - Tue, 2024-11-26 14:48
02.28.08 Briefing From the Desk of Steve Elliott (revised 12:24p) (Not-So) Shocking Development: Virtual Border Fence Fails! Washington Post is reporting that the 28-mile stretch of virtual fence (that Chertoff just trumpeted as a success last week ) is an abject failure. As a result, the project has been delayed at least three years and it is now unclear if any virtual fencing will actually ever work on the border. Plus, the cost numbers are making the test virtual fence just as if not more expensive than the double-layer fencing that Bush and DHS refuse to build! Time for a Full-Court Press It's time for a full-court press on the border fence. First, we must insist that the original mandates of the Secure Fence Act be restored. Grassfire has a new petition that supports two bills in the House that will do just that (over 76,000 signers in less a week). Second, we need to expose the double-talk, lies and deception coming out of the Administration on the fence. Get this -- DHS is claliming it will have completed some 670 miles of what it calls "fencing" or "vehicle barriers" by the end of this year. This is from the ...

Hillary Desperate? (02.26.08 briefing

FireSociety.com - Steve Elliott - Tue, 2024-11-26 14:48
02.26.08 Briefing From the Desk of Steve Elliott Hillary Desperate? It seems HIllary Clinton has reached a point of desperation. National polls are showing her falling farther and farther behind Barack Obama. Her credibility as a candidate could come down to winning Texas and Ohio one week from today. The Dem's process greatly complicates matters. Since no states are winner-take-all -- along with the superdelegates -- means Obama will not get enough delegates pre-convention. But the pressure on Hillary to withdraw will be overwhelming if she loses Texas and Ohio. It's do or die. McCain On Border Fence Despite his reputation as a leader in the push for amnesty, John McCain seems to be trying to carve out a distinction between his position on border security and that of Obama and Clinton. Here are some comments from an interview with a San Antonio radio station: "The border fence is not going to go away. It's going to have to be built. And in parts of our border... it's more effective to use vehicle barriers, sensors, cameras... but the fact is the border walls have to be built in urban areas because that's the only way you're going to stop illegal ...

If there was any doubt before last night, it is now entirely clear that under either Obama or Clinton, virtually no fence would be built and certainly the Secure Fence Act would be at best ignored altogether. Clinton: I think when both of us voted for this, we were voting for the possibility that where it was appropriate and made sense, it would be considered," said Clinton. "But as with so much, the Bush administration has gone off the deep end, and they are unfortunately coming up with a plan that I think is counterproductive. "So I would have a review," she said. "I would listen to the people who live along the border, who understand what it is we need to be doing to protect our country."   Obama: "Well, this is an area where Senator Clinton and I almost entirely agree," he said.

Thursday 2.21 Morning Briefing

FireSociety.com - Steve Elliott - Tue, 2024-11-26 14:48
02.21.08 Morning Briefing From the Desk of Steve Elliott Liberal Media Anoints McCain, Then Goes On Attack Today, the NYTimes formally launched its attack campaign on John McCain with an unsubstantiated near-allegation of an adulterous relationship with a lobbyist from eight years ago. This comes after nearly constant promotion of McCain as the "most electable maverick" by the liberal media elites. After anointing McCain, the liberal media are now turning on him as we make the turn toward the general election. Considering there is no new evidence here in an eight-year-old story, the NYTimes' actions today are perhaps the clearest example of that paper's bias since the paper published MoveOn.org's "General Betray Us" ad. The Times obviously had the story in its back pocket when its editors endorsed McCain a few weeks ago. Why wasn't this story published moths ago, or at least when McCain began his serious run up the polls? Clearly, the Times propped up McCain to serve its interests in having him win the Republican nomination. Media-Anointed Candidates Winning Ann Coulter makes an interestering argument that it is no accident that the media-anointed candidates are winning. Coulter says the McCain-Feingold laws have created a climate which strongly ...
