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

[Lysistrata]

It's sad that trump cannot come up with a nominee for any office who does not have a history of hatred and offensiveness. This pompeo is just the latest example of trump's dedication to promote from the bottom of the barrel. I read the article. This scumbag apparently hates just about everybody. He is completely unacceptable on so many levels to fill the job of secretary of state and represent the people of the U.S. We Americans deserve a whole lot better. We don't deserve someone who will market his trash in our name.

You mean Trump needs someone more like Hillary?

Actually, yes. While she is no longer serving in public office, she served with grace, civility, and dignity. Now all we are getting is gutter trash like pompeo who hangs around with a bitch like perkins. Bottom of the barrel.

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

https://www.glaad.org/tap/mike-pompeo

-- 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

Da Comrade;

It isn't that Booker is a Communist pile of shit intent on the utter and complete destruction of the United States, nah it's because Pompeo doesn't bow and grovel to his queer massahs.

Fuck you scum, you get nothing without a fight, ever again. This civil war you started is heating up and you won't like it at all once the bullets start flying.

 

[Uncensored2008]

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

Really? Bullshit!!

Ignorant fucking commie.

I suppose that's redundant.

{After Clinton signed DOMA into law in 1996, he then ran ads in his 1998 re-election campaign touting his signing of the bill. }

[Correll]

They lied to their voters, claiming NOT to support the radical gay activists, all the while appointing activist judges who were as lefty as they could be, making up laws out of pure shit.

You mean like Anthony Kennedy who wrote the majority opinion in Obergefell and who was appointed by Ronald Regan?

How do you think that is a counter point to my post?

You have got to be a real jerk to think that anyone is starting a civil war besides your own stupid self. The Secretary of State represents the American people internationally and this pompeo is clearly unqualified to represent us on human rights issues. He appears to have devoted a good deal of time and effort into being a scumbag. We deserve to have quality people representing us, not trash trying to make our nation into a cesspool.

 

[Correll]

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 was supporting what he considered a bigoted position, for political reasons, so that he could pander to the bigoted voters.


And you support him on that.


Incredible.

You don't understand much do you? I actually do not recall that this was an issue in 2008. And, while he may have briefly spoken against gay marriage then, he never spewed the hate and vitriol that Pompeo has.

I understand that liberals have been lying about this topic for years.


They lied to their voters, claiming NOT to support the radical gay activists, all the while appointing activist judges who were as lefty as they could be, making up laws out of pure shit.


Until the new laws were fait accompli, and the media had managed to normalize it, and suddenly they all reverse and pretend that anyone who said what they said the day before, is now suddenly, a raging "bigot".


Why should I give anything you lefties any credibility?

Your problem is that you are too stupid and out of touch with reality to understand that while same sex marriage was, in fact a "radical idea 10 years ago, we , as a society have evolved to the point where most people accept it as part of the fabric of society, or, at minimum, are just not pathologically obsessing about it like you are. You are stuck in the past. You are a dinosaur who will soon be extinct - and good riddance.

Calling me names is not an argument.


My point about the deep dishonesty, lack of credibility and radical-ness of you libs, stands.


All you did there was spin the narrative.


It was radical.


Your radical lib politicians lied about their agenda, while appointing radical judges who legislated from the bench.

Now that the laws are a fait accompli, and the media has used massive propaganda to normalize this,


now you attack people for voicing the same positions that your leaders did, 10 years ago.



THAT IS NOT CREDIBLE.

 

[skookerasbil]

Hey for my liking Booker can't be out there in the limelight enough....go...go....go. we want that guy in the news everyday with his identity politics stuff that plays only in New York and California and a couple of other places. Go

 

[miketx]

No you better watch that shit it's what you post about, you have posted multiple OPs about how children in schools should be taught about sex and the faggots anal sex

You are a sick and lying psychotic if you believe that. Point to one single post where I referred to anal sex and children, or anal sex at all.

Well a few weeks ago you posted your UN thread, nearly everyone in this thread was also in that thread and you were whining about some perverts from UNICEF should be allowed to teach young children all about sex and LGBTQ and when multiple members posted tons of links to show the UNICEF perverts who have been arrested for interferring with children you spent the whole thread telling everyone that was horsecrap, calling everyone bigots and also defending UNICEF perverts being allowed to teach children about sex and LGBTQ.

Here's YOUR OP thread that I refer to, everyone can read it for themselves:

The Religious Right Takes on UN Children’s Agency Over Sex Education

You are either a shameless liar or just really that stupid. That is your sick and twisted interpretation and the propaganda spin being perpetrated by the other religious right wingnuts. We are talking about comprehensive sex education intended to keep children safe and help them navigate the confusing and often anxiety filled stages of sexual discovery and development. THIS is from UNICEF which you conveniently left out:

UNICEF believes that children should have access to accurate, factual, age-appropriate information about relationships as they transition to adulthood,” Najwa Mekki, the media chief at UNICEF, told Salon. “This can help them make informed decisions about relationships and sexuality and navigate a world where gender-based violence, gender inequality, early and unintended pregnancies, HIV and other sexually transmitted infections pose serious risks to their health and well-being.”

Only hysterical morons like you would have a problem with that. Here is something that I wrong on sex education and the role of parents and educators, a while back. Lets see if you can muster enough brain cells to come up with an intelligent response to it. I doubt it.


LGBT Issues, Children and Education by Progressive Patriot 2.12.14

The fact is that whether you or anybody else likes it or not, kids, depending on their age, know a whole lot more. In fact they know and understand a lot more than many adults would like to believe​

Many people who rail against gay marriage and gay rights have deluded themselves into believing that if we do not support and allow marriage, the issue will somehow go away. They claim that children will be taught that homosexuality is normal and good. Well know this, LGBT issues and people are a part of modern culture and depriving gays rights will not change that and you can’t shield the children from it.

Children always have and always will struggle with their developing sexuality including sexual orientation and gender identity issues. In the past, for the most part, children were left to try to understand these things alone and in silence. They would feel guilty and confused about any sexual matters and especially any LGBTI issues. Today, there is much open discussion about these issues-in the print and social media, among peers, on television, just about everywhere. In this electronic society where kids spend much of their days on line, it cannot be avoided. Many children know an LGBT child or adult. Children hear and see this all, and like it or not, they are very much aware. As we progress as a society, more and more of that discussion is positive, and young people are much more accepting of those who are different than many adults care to imagine. There is nothing short of criminalizing these lifestyles, and snuffing out free speech-in effect becoming Russia-that anybody can do about it. Can anyone dispute or refute any part of this statement?

My next question is: What do parents, educators and the rest of us do? Here are some options:

1. Do nothing, be silent. Leave the children to their own devices to figure things out for themselves. After all, that’s the way it was 30, 40, 50 years ago and everything was just fine. Or was it? In any case, this is now, times are different and sexuality is a much more salient part of life and discourse. This may not be a great option, if it ever was.


2. Condemn homosexuality openly and vehemently. Doing so will have the effect of marginalizing LGBT kids, crushing them with guilt, and setting them up for bullying. Then all that will be left to do is to keep tract of the suicides and mass shootings.

3. Engage in constructive dialogue with the kids and among ourselves as adults. Dispense with the hysteria and misinformation and start to deal with this as part of our human experience. We could dispense with rhetoric about “promoting homosexuality” and the scare tactics such as it leading to incest, polygamy and bestiality. Rather, the emphasis would be on human relations, not sex because relationships are really what it’s about. We could just let kids know that they are OK and loved no matter who and what they are…….because whatever they are, that’s what they are going to be. Maybe, just maybe it’s time to make a choice between ideology and religion on one hand, and the children that we claim to care so much about on the other. The only question is ….will they be happy, confident and secure, or guilt ridden, miserable and confused.

However, you still have ass hats who want to pretend that the issue will just go away. That is ignorant and dangerous.

Sick and twisted huh? Yet you are the man meat muncher.

100% of Homosexuals and Lesbians cannot have children as man with man and woman with woman, they have to use Heterosexual means. If nature meant for men to procreate with men and women to procreate with women

sexual perversion as per wikipedia: Perversion is a type of human behavior that deviates from that which is understood to be orthodox or normal. [heterosexual activity designed by natuire for the purpose of reproduction]

Although the term perversion can refer to a variety of forms of deviation, it is most often used to describe sexual behaviors that are considered particularly abnormal, repulsive or obsessive. [Sexual activity not designed by nature and that which serves no useful biological function, basically- unnatural such as homosexulality ]

Although heterosexuals engage in various forms of perversion the heterosexual act in of itself is not a perversion it is what keeps the human race going.

So tell me Lysistrata are you a pervert

I don't know? Are you? Have you had heterosexual sex with no intention to procreate? BJ? Anal sex? Domestic violence?

The point is that your opinion that someone else is a "pervert" is entirely irrelevant. I don't monitor what goes on in other people's bedrooms. It's none of my business unless one of the participants is not a consenting adult or they're making too much noise to allow me to sleep. And I've never encountered anyone having sex in public.

BTW: Human reproduction seems to be going along nicely. Perhaps a bit too nicely. I know that most "conservatives" love the thought of overpopulation, unwanted kids, and the spread of poverty. The rest of us don't think that this is such a good idea.

You Communists have already started a civil war. The treason you are engaged in with this coup d'etat is an act of civil war. You are engaged in hostilities against the duly elected government of the United States. You have colluded and conspired with a hostile foreign government to fabricate this "dossier" that you used initially to try and rig the election. Failing that, you have used the same product purchased from the Kremlin to stage an attempted coup.

You deserve to be lined up in front of a wall and shot as the traitor you are.

Pompeo is highly qualified. That he has not "bended knee" to the queer mafia has nothing to do with his qualifications.
