Obama Now Has The Right Position, But Won’t DO Anything With It

http://irregulartimes.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/obamanoactionglbt-300x195.jpg

President Obama now says that he personally supports same-sex marriage, but intends to do nothing to stop states like North Carolina from prohibiting same-sex marriage. Like Abraham Lincoln before him, he is allowing Southern bigots to trample the authority of the national Constitution. We all know how well that strategy worked out.

What Does Grassroots Mean Anymore?

http://irregulartimes.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/realgrass-300x201.jpg

Big media organizations such as the New York Times have lost touch with what genuine grassroots organizations look like. What these corporate news operations describe with the the term “grassroots” nowadays is rather like their own organizations: Designed for consumption by individuals, but only though a system of distribution controlled from the top down, powered by large payments from a few sources with a lot of money.

Barack Obama Still Won’t Support Legalization Of Same-Sex Marriage, Despite Biden.

http://irregulartimes.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/stuck20th.jpg

Vice President Biden simply didn’t want to say Obama’s position on same sex marriage out loud, because to do so would be to remind Democratic voters that Barack Obama is ideologically much more like a Republican than they would like to admit.

Florida Governor Rick Scott won’t stand up for the right to bear weapons that aren’t guns. Why? Probably, it has something to do with the fact that there is no group of lobbyists and political action committees that give large amounts of money to political candidates who defend the right to carry sticks and glass bottles.
