Obamas True Colors Obama outraged Americans everywhere this week when he compared gay rights to the civil rights movement. This week, he spent his time proclaiming a gay bar in New York City as a national monument. That means it now sits along with George Washingtons birthplace, the Grand Canyon, the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad, President Lincolns Cottage at the Soldiers Home and the Statue of Liberty. If he thinks that is appropriate, he needs a serious reality check. Farmers and blacksmiths who chose revolution over tyranny, he said comparing it to patriots who fought for our freedom. Immigrants who crossed the oceans and the Rio Grande. Women who reached for the ballot, and scientists who shot for the moon. The preachers, and porters, and seamstresses who guided us toward the mountaintop of freedom. The Stonewall Inn was the site of riots in the 1960s, and a place some credit with starting the gay rights movement. The story of America is a story of progress, Obama wrote in an address. Its written by ordinary people who put their shoulders to the wheel of history to make sure that the promise of our founding applies not just to some of usbut to all of us. What do you think? Are Obamas priorities completely twisted?
