Howard, Howard, Howard.... (shaking my head)

Another example of how the Democrats think American people of faith are stupid, occurred this week.  I've already blogged about Disastrous Dean and his comments on the 700 Club.  Apparently, he is under the impression that people are just going to take him at face value when he tries to sell that load of cow chips about the DNC supporting traditional marriage.

The Democratic Party

Gay & Lesbian Leadership Council

For more information about the Gay & Lesbian Leadership Council, please contact:

Donald Hitchcock
Director

Tom Petrillo
Deputy Director

gllc@dnc.org

Founded in the heat of the 2000 Presidential election campaign, the DNC's Gay and Lesbian Leadership Council is a strong symbol of the important role that LGBT Americans play within the Democratic Party.

The GLLC has two primary goals:

  • Support the Democratic Party's progressive, inclusive platform by spreading the word and electing Democrats.
  • Highlight LGBT Americans' contributions to the political process.

These two goals are accomplished by:

  • Raising money.
  • Organizing events that raise political awareness, cultivate new members, and provide a venue to discuss issues.
  • Keeping our membership apprised of the political happenings within the Party and the community.

GLLC members receive invitations to issue and political briefings, timely fax or e-mail political updates, and reciprocal benefits in other Leadership Councils.

Did I mention that Howie thinks his party has something in common with the religious community... especially the "evangelicals"?

I guess they really do need the money after all.  Howard Dean kneels before the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force in another blatant  public display of pandering.  Basically, Howie has revised his statements on the 700 Club by using the all too familiar "oops I did it again" defense.

WASHINGTON - Democratic chairman Howard Dean mischaracterized his party's platform on gay rights in an interview courting evangelicals, then set the record straight Thursday when an advocacy group called him on it.

Dean told Christian Broadcasting Network News that the 2004 Democratic platform declares "marriage is between a man and a woman" just one of the points he made in reaching out to religious conservatives who are largely hostile to the party.

But the platform does not define marriage that way, and his remarks prompted the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force to return a $5,000 donation from the Democratic National Committee.

Dean later acknowledged his misstatement, but the group sent back the money anyway. "We need for Governor Dean to demonstrate real leadership on our issues," executive director Matt Foreman said in an interview, "not to equivocate depending on the audience."

Got that, Howie, even your own supporters are telling you to stop lying.

But, you know Howard Dean,  he's like E.F. Hutton.  He speaks and people listen.  Then they laugh their butts off.  Check out this quote.

Dean said that "one of the misconceptions about the Democratic Party is that we're godless and that we don't have any values."

Howard makes a nice point here.  The Dems have been mischaracterized as a party without values.  They have a value.  In this case it seems to be $5000.

He went on: "The truth is, we have an enormous amount in common with the Christian community, and particularly with the evangelical Christian community. And one of the biggest things that Democrats worry about is the materialism of our country, what's on television that our kids are seeing, and the lack of spirituality."

And then he really steps in it.  He actually says, "We have an enormous amount in common with the Christian community..."  In other words, he acknowledges that they are not a part of said community.  They aren't particularly religious, says Dean, but they do have some commonalities with people of faith.  Paging Dr. Freud....

Who's really behind the liberal media?

This week I had a chance encounter with an old friend who gave me some truly enlightening information about the controlling powers that run the media and dominate most of the world's industry and governments like puppeteers pulling strings.  I posted below exact quotes (italicized) taken from this reunion with my source:

"It is a well-known fact... there's a secret society of the five wealthiest people in the world known as The Pentaverate, who run everything in the world including the newspapers and meet triannually at a secret country mansion in Colorado known as The Meadows."

So, who's in this pentaverate?

"The queen, the Vatican,  The Ghettys,  The Rothchilds,  and Colonel Sanders before he went tits up."

Of the Colonel, our source says, "Aah, I hated the Colonel with his wee, beady eyes and that smug look on his face. 'Oh, you're gonna buy my chicken - ooh!'"

How could anyone hate the colonel, you ask?

"Because he puts an added chemical in his chicken that makes you crave it fortnightly, smarta$$!"

And now you know the facts.  Straight from the Weekly World News.

I hope the liberal left has the sense to distance itself from this guy.
