Itz News to Me

Somehow I’m thinking this would be front-page news if President Bush had been the one dumping toxic sewage on White House grounds.

Color me shocked (shocked!) that the same outlets that thought Michelle Obama’s faux vegetable gardening earlier this year suddenly became extremely disinterested in the story once it turned out that a Democrat was responsible for the inedibility of those same veggies.

During the whole Carrie Prejean episode, lots of people pointed out that her position was no different than that of President Obama or even his Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton. So why were people crucifying her and giving these two Democratic icons a complete pass?

The answer from the gay community was that, yeah, Obama says he’s against gay marriage but he just had to say that to get elected. He’s really FOR it, you see, it’s just you ignorant straights that believed him when he said he was against it. We smart gays know better.

Yeah…not so much….

So tell me, how do you feel about your Messiah today? Still think that everybody else was stupid, and you were the geniuses who knew better? We’ll be waiting for that apology to Carrie Prejean for unfairly singling her out while you hypocritically shielded Obama and the rest of the Democratic Party from criticism. And you wonder why your cause isn’t taken more seriously?

When you’re willing to sell out on what you claim is the most important moral issue of the day in the name of your party politics, you’ll have to excuse people for thinking that you’re not really that serious about either wanting it or what your actions says about how little importance this “important moral issue” really has. As Glenn Reynolds often says about things like global warming, “I’ll believe it’s a crisis when the people telling me it is start acting like there is one.”

It’s put up or shut up time with Obama and the rest of the Democratic Party. Which will you choose?
