The White House announced today the names of 16 people chosen by the Administration of Hope-n-Change to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honor.

"...These outstanding men and women represent an incredible diversity of backgrounds," Obama said in a statement.

"Their tremendous accomplishments span fields from science to sports, from fine arts to foreign affairs," he said. "Yet they share one overarching trait: Each has been an agent of change. Each saw an imperfect world and set about improving it, often overcoming great obstacles along the way."

U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier, D-San Mateo, praised Obama for selecting Milk, a pioneer, she said, who "dedicated and sacrificed his life so that others might live in a world free of discrimination."

"My hope now is that, along with honoring the man, we also honor his work by making the United States of America a land of true equality and freedom," Speier said. "Harvey Milk will receive his real and rightful honor when our nation sheds the last vestiges of our intolerant past."

It is somewhat ironic that Rep. Speier took the time to give a glowing endorsement of Milk, whose only memorable legislation in San Francisco was the city's dog poop act. Because if Milk, as well as the liberal San Francisco political establishment and media, would have had the courage to stand up to and expose a monster they had created, not only might her former boss be alive, but so would nearly 900 Bay Area residents, most of whom were black.

....So what does Harvey Milk have to do with Jim Jones? He owed his political career as the first openly gay office holder in America directly to the community organizer "Rev." Jones and his followers. Here is a handwritten note to Jones from Harvey Milk:

Liberals could care less about 900 murdered men, women, and children. Human death is “good for mother Earth” and 900 is a worthy sacrifice for the gay agenda.

The left’s corruption of great institutions continues. For example, who takes the Nobel Prize serious anymore? I wish I had received a Presidential Medal of Freedom so that I could return it in protest to this latest Obamnation.
