Bush Appoints Four More Homosexual Activists

Bush Appoints Four More Homosexual Activists

President Bush has appointed four more Republican homosexual activists to posts in his administration, a homosexual newspaper reports.

The four men are all active with the Republican “gay” activist group Log Cabin Republicans, according to the Washington Blade. They are, according to the Blade:

Asian affairs expert Mark Groombridge as a State Department special assistant to John Bolton, Under Secretary for Arms Control and International Security. Groombridge — a member of Log Cabin Republicans of D.C., and the homosexual libertarian group Gays & Lesbians for Individual Liberties — is a China specialist whose doctoral dissertation “examined the restructuring of China’s state-owned enterprises,” the Blade reported; Stephen Fong, former president of Log Cabin Republicans of San Francisco, to a post with the Federal Transit Administration, an arm of the Department of Transportation; Tod Burnett and Jim Wiggins to positions at the Environmental Protection Agency. Burnett is a former advisor to liberal Republican and former Los Angeles mayor Richard Riordan. The Blade reports that the White House did not mention the homosexuality of the latest four in officially announcing their appointments by the president.

White House press secretary Ari Fleischer has said that a person’s “sexual orientation” is irrelevant as long as he has the job qualifications for a position. But pro-family critics contend that the administration is pandering to homosexual activist Republicans and thus helping to “mainstream” homosexuality. Ironically, the Log Cabin Republicans strongly supported John McCain, and not Bush, during the GOP presidential primary, and even ran campaign ads against Bush.

Bush senior advisor Karl Rove is engaged in a political tightrope act — reaching out simultaneously to GOP homosexual activists and to the party’s conservative, pro-family grassroots, who oppose homosexuality as sinful.

Rove’s high-wire act may be getting more perilous. The Blade reports that homosexual columnist Hastings Wyman (who first reported the four “gay” appointments), citing Republican sources, says that “at least 15 more gay appointees are either in the Bush administration pipeline or are ‘slowly working their way out of the closet.’”

I don't have a problem with these men holding government positions. None appear to have jobs where their sexual orientation would impact on decisions they make on their jobs. Family organizations such as this (Culture and Family Institute) should choose their battles better. They will have a greater impact than picking fights over appointments like this. So flame me.

No flames from this corner. I felt the same way about Clinton's appointment of James Hormel as ambassador of Luxembourg. Hormel said he wasn't going to try to turn the country into some Homo-man Empire (as if as an ambassador he had the power to do so), and the alleged Catholic majority's opposition to him never materialized. Since he left the USA, We never hear a peep from that guy except when the Gay-stapo calls for him to rally the troops against those who opposed him.

When a gay or lesbian activist is put in charge of, say, HHS and insists on AIDS vaccines for everyone, that's something to wail about. Having a gay man in charge of some bureaucratic transportation deal is not going to result in glory holes on every city bus. Having a gay man in some capacity at the EPA isn't going to mean lilacs will be declared an endangered species.

None of these appointments will have a sliver of the negative impact on American culture than that which was done by that pedophilia apologist, masturbation education advocate, and abortion-adoring heterosexual mother named Joycelyn Elders. Get a grip, folks.

No, Kevin, I don't live my life with the same smugness that people like you do: Thinking you have all the answers and the right to judge everyone else. 'They' have always been in the party and people accepted their support without asking who they share their beds with.

Sex should stay in the bedroom.

But, as I pointed out, queer sex doesn't. That's why the whole so-called Gay Agenda needs to be resisted.

"This is not the Clinton White House, no matter how many links you post."

Hi sink. The socialism has increased. But, perhaps the homosexuals aren't doing the Barney Frank in the White House.

No one knows that gays are trying to infiltrate the Republican Party.

Trying in Infiltrate? We have been in the GOP for years and Bush knows it and is showing his apparition by appointing more gays than any other President in history!

We have not only infiltrated and have a Voice in the Bush White House.

The day that the gay-lesbian agenda is embraced by the Republican Party in the slightest degree is the day the Republican Party will become a permanently out-of-power irrelevancy. There are far greater numbers of conservative Christians who will cease to support it and vote for its candidates than there are sexual sodomites, lesbians, bestials, necrophiliacs, pedophiles and their apologists who will cross over to sustain it.

Rove has drawn a target on the chest of the Republican Party, pulled a pro-gay arrow full draw, and taken aim. Go ahead, Rove, let that arrow fly.

This is a bright-line issue for many of us--far more than you suspect.

Come on, Rove, twitch that finger. You'll be flipping burgers in 2004.

Your agenda??? As a supposedly devout and faithful Catholic the only agenda you should be trying to push is that of spreading the word of Jesus Christ not pushing your freaky deviant sex down the throat of the american public. I hope to God your not taking communion.

Did you type this with a straight face?

You, obviously, will believe an anonymous poster rather than the evidence of Bush's belief.

Maybe that's why you're a Calvinist.

And you profile address of West Hollywood?  Too cute by half.
I don't believe you.

Where does Jesus say that the way one is born again is to oppose homosexual appointments to public agencies? If you believe that, I'd like to hear how you know you're saved. I may have some "eternal life-saving" corrections to your theology for you to consider.

'They' have always been in the party and people accepted their support without asking who they share their beds with.

It isn't about "who they share their beds with." It's about their "Gay Pride" parades, their attacks on the Boy Scouts of America, their "fisting" seminars for Massachusetts junior high schoolers, their NAMBLA-inspired murder of Jeffrey Curley, their Rosie O'Donnell child adoption schemes and their numerous other assaults on our American culture.

But, then, a soccer mom masquerading as a Reaganite might not know much about that.

No, I don't stand with Bush on this. But I stand on the Bible in Mom's characterization that our political/social agenda is what gets us in to Heaven or not.

Truth? You accept "truth" from someone you don't even know?

Ever consider that "log cabin gop boy" might be a disruptor? That name is too cute by half.

He is actively seeking out gays..if this was Clinton there would be threads condeming him as immoral..remember the threads on ONE ambassador

There are hypocrites that strain at a gnat and swallow a camel. It is one thing not to ask and appoint on merit ..it is another to "support "their agenda.....Esau sold his birthright for a bowl of porage...this is a sell out for the gay votes.
