Gay Activists Empowered by the Evolving President
President Obama, the gay evolutionary, by announcing his epiphany on same-sex marriage has empowered the sexual deviants that adore him. Their allies, the liberal elites are flexing their pathetic muscles and will now openly try to intimidate anyone who opposes them.
They have already tried to intimidate Congressman James Lankford (R-OK), but they picked on the wrong guy. Last week, the far-Left’s Think Progress tried to ambush Representative Lankford on the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), which gives special workplace rights to homosexuals and cross-dressers.
In a Think Progress’s video, the interviewers ask Representative Lankford if he could “support a law that says you can’t fire someone for their sexual orientation, similar to protections for people on gender?” The Congressman replied that “Race and sexual preferences are two different things. One is a behavior-related and preference-related and one is something inherently–skin color, something obvious, that kind of stuff. You don’t walk up to someone on the street and look at them and say, ‘Gay or Straight?'”
The crew pressed him more, asking if he believes people are born gay. “Do I personally? No. I don’t. I think it’s a choice issue. Are tendencies and such? Yes. But I think it’s a choice issue.” That day, Think Progress posted an outright lie as its headline, suggesting that Lankford wants to make it “legal to fire someone for being gay.” Of course, he never said that–but Think Progress never lets a little thing like the truth get in the way of a good story. Since then, the Left has launched an all-out smear campaign against the Oklahoma Republican, hoping he’ll back down. He hasn’t, not even when threats to his office started pouring in. “Businesses hire and fire people based on their performance at work, not in their private lives outside of their work,” he said.
The entire episode has been a case study in liberal tactics. Time and time again, the Left tries to bully or intimidate people into submission on their agenda.
Thank you, Representative Lankford.
