For the first time, in my adult life, I am NOT proud of my country.

I told you I was against the Defense -- so-called Defense of Marriage Act. I've long supported efforts to pass a repeal through Congress. And until we reach that day, my administration is no longer defending DOMA in the courts. The law is discriminatory. It violates the Constitution. It's time for us to bring it to an end.

Since when does the president determine if a law is Constitutional or not?

For real. I started to say, "This is truly un-fricken-believable." But, actually, it's not...considering all we've known about this Marxist since day one of his campaign. The real problem is, the ones who let him get away with it. If it advances their agenda, the Constitution goes out the window. "By any means necessary..."

The presidency has truly become a dictatorship. With the use of executive orders, combined with the ability to (apparently) just stop enforcing any law the president disagrees with, or sidestep those which are inconvenient (Libya, anyone?)...we’re no better off than Venezuela with our leadership. And the infuriating part: silence from Congress. Mostly silence from the people (most of whom have NO idea what is going on with their government).

But the horrific economy and the skyrocketing rates of unemployment are not important.Who cares about Pride Month?
