Sen. Booker Attacked by Bigots, For Opposing the Appointment of a Bigot as Secretary of State

[TheProgressivePatriot]

First, let’s establish the fact that Mike Pompeo is an anti-gay bigot:

First, let's not. I'd say, rather than bigotry, Pompeo's words reflect just plain, ordinary common sense. Good for him.

Bigots stick together.

Homos stick together. Literally. Like glue.

There is though a difference between normal Gays and Lesbians and the fanatical, bigoted and intolerant LGBTQ Crowd.

Thank you for admitting that gay is normal.

He will clearly allow his views to influence policy and that is unacceptable. As a public servant, he must be objective and consistent.

Basically, anyone who doesn't think like you shouldn't be allowed to work. If a renowned brain surgeon spoke in favor of traditional marriage, you'd be calling for his head and demand that he be fired.

You are deliberately and maliciously misrepresenting my position. That is a classic straw man logical fallacy that is employed when someone can't respond to the actual argument that is being presented. Go back and read what I posted and try again.

-- Opposed repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell, suggesting that "when you enter the army you give up a few of your rights." Also said of DADT repeal, "we cannot use military to promote social ideas that do not reflect the values of our nation."

-- Decried the US Supreme Court's 2015 ruling granting marriage equality to all fifty states as "a shocking abuse of power" that "flies in the face of centuries of shared understanding of our Constitution."

-- Has vowed to continue his fight abortion, marriage equality, and related matters "each and every day": "As a Kansan, I hold a deep reverence for the sanctity of life, the solidarity of family, and the solemnity of marriage. I will continue the fight to uphold these fundamental ideals each and every day. I am, and always will be, pro-life and will defend life from conception to natural death. I will continue to oppose any taxpayer funding for abortion. I also fully support the traditional institution of marriage. Strong families are the most important building block of our Republic, and we must preserve them for the sake of our community and our culture."

-- Co-sponsored two bills, the State Marriage Defense Act and the Marriage and Religious Freedom Act, both designed to undermine the effects of court rulings on marriage equality.

-- Denounced the Supreme Court rulings that struck down the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) and California's Proposition 8 as "both sad and counter to the most profound tradition of o

ur great nation."


There is much more but you get the idea. In todays news there is this:

I find it hard to believe that the National Organization for (heterosexual only) Marriage is still in existence after their humiliating defeat on the issue…..but sadly, they are.

Earlier this month, Democratic Senator Cory Booker challenged former GOP Congressman Mike Pompeo over his anti-LGBT views following his nomination to the State Department, where he would control any future work on global LGBT rights.

Citing Pompeo’s past record during a Senate committee, Booker asked: “You made a speech warning [against] an America that endorses a perversion and calls it an alternative lifestyle. Those are your words. Is being gay a perversion?”

Pompeo would only specify that he “stands by” his “very clear view on whether it was appropriate for two same-sex persons to marry,” though Booker’s question referred to his beliefs about gay people’s rights and not specifically same-sex marriage.

But here is the real kick in the head. It shows the desperation, or perhaps the stupidity of the religious right who insist on conflating the opposition to hate and bigotry to being anti-Christian:

Following the spat, anti-LGBT activists have now launched a fully-fledged smear campaign against Booker, who was branded an “anti-Christian bigot” in the aftermath of the spat.

Fringe anti-gay group the National Organization for Marriage is behind a Booker Bans Believers campaign – with a newly-launched website suggesting that the Democrat wants to ban the Bible.

Are these people so stupid to believe, or perhaps so dishonest,as to portray the issue as Christians vs. LGBT and their advocates? Do they not know that many LGBT people and their advocates are in fact Christian? Do they not know that many Christian denominations, and individuals support LGBT causes?

Real Christians are opposed to hate and discrimination. Booker is not attacking religious liberty as they allege. He is exercising his legal authority and moral right to oppose a nominee for a crucial cabinmate post based on clearly disqualifying concerns. Claiming that Booker wants to “ban the bible” is a dangerous combination of stupid, crazy, and dishonesty wrapped in desperation and irrational fear.

Sadly, it appears that as of tonight, Pompeo will be confirmed. God help the United States of America

You’re as bigoted as the horse you rode in on

[CrusaderFrank]

Dems had an actual bigot as SecState who called blacks super Predators, hispanics needy and took tens of millions from murdering homophobes

 

[jknowgood]

So, his view on gays is the same President Bill Clinton's was.

Really? Bullshit!!

Is that a joke?

The same view as barak obama, until obama didn't need to get elected again...

If you had read Obama's biography by David Axelrod, you would know that he was never really opposed to same sex marriage. However, he was politically savvy enough to know that coming out as pro gay marriage in 2008 would be political suicide. You can call it dishonest if you want, but I believe that it was justified and necessary to get into the white house in order to achieve a greater good.

So, he is a liar?

 

[jknowgood]

Approving the gay is not a litmus test to hold public office.

Like it or not, people still have the freedom to NOT BE gay and reject homosexuality.

I did not say that it was. He can believe whatever the fuck he wants. However, it comes down to how he will do the job. He will clearly allow his views to influence policy and that is unacceptable. As a public servant, he must be objective and consistent.

Lol, you admitted that your man Obama acted like he was against gay marriage to get elected. You lost all credibility then.

 

[Flash]

Booker is one of the most vile despicable racist assholes in Congress. That is quite a distinction since he is joined by assholes like Maxine Waters and Sheila Jackson Lee.

He's worked wonders so far. Lowest unemployment rates ever. Wages rising. Homos still smelling like man ass. You have nothing to complain about.

He does, and he is doing a great job as president.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

How has Pompeo affected the LBGTQOQP and everyone else since he was confirmed as head of the CIA?

The perverts want to make this a test to hold office to use as a base to prevent any Christian from holding political office despite it being unconstitutional.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Booker is one of the most vile despicable racist assholes in Congress. That is quite a distinction since he is joined by assholes like Maxine Waters and Sheila Jackson Lee.

He is convinced that this will propel him to the white house.

Being a dumbass hateful Negro got that asshole Obama elected so Booker feels he has a great campaign strategy.

Pompeo simply has a belief about gay sex that he is not wishing to push on anyone.

Conversely, he is being targeted by others who are bigoted against the religious beliefs that have formed his opinion.

And that wish to destroy him because of his opinion, which he is not pushing on anyone. That's where the bigotry lies.

Thank you for admitting that gay is normal.

Never commented that, by normal I mean not filled with hate and not intolerant of anyone who doesn't support the LGBTQ thing, I know four gays and not one of them are intolerant and all four reject the LGBTQ Crowd.

But that is PC bigotry. Everyone in the press and politics just loves it.

 

[Roudy]

What does a person's view on gays have to do with the position of Secretary of State? This is another example that Leftards have nothing but identity politics. I hope they keep this shit up going into the 2018 elections.
