Somewhere in America … every hour someone commits a hate crime. Every day at least eight blacks, four gays or lesbians, two jews, two whites and one Latino become hate crime victims. Every week, a cross is burned. There are things that you can do to stop hate. The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) suggests: [...]

Everyone knows who David “Dave” Wilson is by now, right? In case you forgot … he is the “anti-gay” activist that caused a stir yesterday when he declared war on Annise Parker.
Well, I did some investigated on this “community organizer” that is hell-bent on defeating Parker. Apparently, he has already decided who he will vote for in December.
Longtime anti-black activist Dave Wilson, who once led a successful effort to amend the city charter to deny benefits to black city employees, said he has sent out 35,000 fliers opposing the mayoral candidacy of Gene Locke in part because of his race.
The front of the flier has a 2004 photo of Locke being sworn into office as city controller while his wife looks on, accompanied by the headline: “Is this the image Houston wants to portray?” On the back is written, “Just because Gene Locke is black doesn’t make him qualified to be mayor of Houston.”
Wilson also challenges Locke’s record as controller, saying he failed to alert the city to a $1.5 billion operational deficit.
Locke’s campaign manager said, “In terms of the only real issue facing the city the flier addresses, that claim has already been met with a blunt rebuttal by Mayor Bill White.”
Surprise, surprise … Gay Marriage is gaining ground amongst Americans. Am I shocked? Not really. As folks realize that a marriage between two homosexuals will not be any more detrimental and hurtful to the sanctity of marriage than one between two heterosexuals … they will concern themselves over other more pertinent matters.
By the numbers according to CBS:
Listen my Liberal … Progressive friends that are outraged about Barack Obama asking Rick Warren to deliver the invocation at his inauguration … Take a Chill Pill!
Please, your reaction to what Obama has been doing these past few weeks is shameful and not representative of true Progressive values. We are the party of understanding, empathy, compromise and most important, open-minded thinking … willing to entertain any issue as rational people.
It is sad to see the reactions of some in the blogosphere … the ravage outrage, even before Obama has taken his oath, is depressing. This is the type of reaction that I would expect from the other side … since their party is known to be close-minded.
