Obama to sign orders protecting gay employees
Associated Press ^ | Jul 18, 2014 3:47 PM EDT | Nedra Pickler

President Barack Obama plans to sign executive orders Monday prohibiting discrimination against gay and transgender workers in the federal government and its contracting agencies, without a new exemption that was requested by some religious organizations.

Obama’s action comes on the heels of the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent ruling in the Hobby Lobby case that allowed some religiously oriented businesses to opt out of the federal health care law’s requirement that contraception coverage be provided to workers at no extra charge. Senior administration officials said Friday that ruling has no impact on non-discrimination policies in federal hiring and contracting.

They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the plans publicly. …

I’m getting sick and tired of this BS! A company can fire, or choose not to cover on insurance, a smoker!

If we can ever get a real conservative elect to the Executive again, he can reverse all of this with a pen stroke. Of course, the ensconced deviants will then claim to be grandfathered as a “civil right” by then.

Executive Orders are temporary. Once the president issuing the order leaves office they can be overturned (quietly if necessary) with a stroke of the pen or by simply not renewing it.

The next President RINO won't overturn a thing. The RINOs are on the same page as Barry, they just want their fair share of the loot.

I am wondering when ANY rights protections for regular Americans will be coming. I have not seen any out of this administration.

The federal “work”force was largely useless to begin with. Obama just compounded it.

There is no single other issue that has completely consumed Obama as has homosexuality and related deviancy.


Well, actually his support of the Muslim Brotherhood has been even more all consuming and even more destructive.

This is the paradoxically schitzoprenic behavior of pattern of Obama.

On one hand he supports Homosexual issues with a single minded and almost religious zeal, while at the same time showing the same passion and devotion to radical Islam - a religion totally opposed to homosexuality and where the penalty for such acts is death (unless there is a fatwah for an anal jihad waiver in place, of course).

Just exactly what constitutes “transgendered”?
Cross dressing ? Hormone treatment? Operated?
If cross dressing, can they go back and forth?

There sure are a lot of those commercials. Heads up if you folks haven’t noticed them.

Cross dressing?

Yes.

Hormone treatment?

Yes.

Operated?

Yes.

If cross dressing, can they go back and forth?

Yes.

The enablers of this particular psychosis believe that it all lies in the state of mind of the individual in question. If a man believes he is a woman and dresses as such, then he is immediately "transgendered." There may be more pinpointing descriptives for the numerous permutations involved in this mental sickness, but you get the idea.

No kidding. Every mixed race commercial is like that.

It's a real puzzler to figure how the USA built skyscrapers, manufactured hundreds of thousands Jeeps, trucks, tanks, ships, bombers, fighter airplanes to win WWII, then rebuilt Europe and Japan, supplied the world with automobiles, telephones and TV sets, built the Interstate Highway system and then put men on the moon when it was mostly those stupid, bumbling white guys doing the heavy lifting.

Just think how much better we could have done if we had some of those rocket scientist black and white females and black men doing the work instead of wasting their time making TV commercials and helping stupid white guys find the door handle.

Homos are opposed to Christianity. They have no idea what’s in store for them under Islam.

There seems to be a big push to discredit Christianity and they are using the homos to do the dirty work.

Historically, disaffected homosexuals have been the shock troops for revolution.

They are the original useful idiots.

Once they have given their all for the revolution, they have been purged, usually via execution.
