Earnest can't say why WH won't be lit in blue to honor cops

Re: The White House refuses to light up blue to honor slain cops

WTF? Obama lite up the White House for every other god damn thing! This isn't justifiable somehow? What an asshole.

Exactly, but we've now way past that already. Apparently it's 'lighting for the favored leftist ideological concerns of the administration' and little else. yeah, I was right. What a bunch of assholes.

Why do you whine so much? The WH gets lit up for certain events that are uplifting. Not tragedies. Those are considered more solemn affairs.

Can we have a holiday called "The Day The Mods Got Rid of Quazimodo"?

:lol:
 
Re: The White House refuses to light up blue to honor slain cops

Yeah, the next time anyone dies under a republican's watch, we should demand that they pat their head while rubbing their belly and squawking like a chicken, and then when they don't immediately capitulate to our demands, we will dishonestly accuse them of insensitivity.

That, or we could behave like adults.

Do you see the irony of you commenting on adult behavior?

"Washington (CNN)In the wake of last Friday's landmark Supreme Court ruling that allows same-sex couples nationwide to marry, the White House was illuminated in rainbow colors for the evening, a nod to the achievement of the gay rights movement."

Yes, and reality. One was a landmark decision hailed by over half the country as a civil rights victory which was worth a small celebration.

The other was a tragedy (the killing of 5 innocent police officers on duty by some horrendous piece of crap) for which flags where ordered at half mast, presidential speeches and comments where posted/spoken and the 2 last presidents paid their respect by going to a memorial service for the fallen officers.

Yes, it is a matter of priorities and if the 49 deaths at Orlando was not momentous/a priority to color the white house, than why should 5 slain officers get that salute? The problem is not that the fallen officers where not honored by the president, this is about wanting unrealistic things so that people can harp on towards a president that they hate. Because this is not an issue of lack of respect by the president for the 5 fallen heroes in uniform, this is a case of lack of respect/hatred for a sitting president and an excuse to heap a little more hatred on Obama's presidency. That is what the issue is.

Being in "solidarity" with LGBT is pandering. Cowards pander. Being in solidarity with every man or woman in blue in this country requires a courageous leader who is willing to honor those who have dedicated themselves to the protection of OUR lives and OUR property. He says he wants healing. This proves he doesn't.

Why has this ridiculous precedent, the WH being lit, been set by this administration? (I don't recall previous administrations doing so)
Why has this ridiculous administration purposefully chosen the events for which to light the WH?
Why has this ridiculous administration chosen to use the WH lighting for their favorite 'push' agenda items?

Nonsense IMHO, being respective of LGBT and all people who agree with gay marriage rights is supporting people who have been getting discriminated against for decades/centuries, often by governments, police officers, judges, the general public. And when that period of human rights denial comes to an end, acknowledging that is not pandering, it is just respecting people's human rights and recognizing the struggle that the LGBT community and their supporters have been through.

And being in solidarity with police officers is not dependent on blue lights on the white house. Solidarity is not ignoring the bad apples in the police and acting like there are zero problems whatsoever. Because a president also has the duty to have solidarity with all citizens in his country. There there are no blue lights on the white house says nothing about respect or healing, that is also anti-Obama nonsense.

It works better if you don't start with an obvious lie with no supporting citation. Over half the country hailed the landmark decision? Bull****. I suspect most of the country didn't get their knickers in a twist either way.

President Obama can stand shoulder to shoulder with the LGBT radicals and with the BLM radicals and with the Persians and with the Castro Brothers and with Hugo Chavez. With Americans? Well, no. He certainly has no allegiance with, familiarity with, or love for those people who cling to their Bible and their gun. Koran and gun, sure, but no Bible and gun.

Sorry. Nice try defending the indefensible.

They won't use the blue lights for our police officers, but rainbow to celebrate the federal government taking power from the States that they are not permitted by the Constitution. Yay, closer to tyranny! Celebrate with us!

From the People's House to the punk house.

From The White House to The Whore House.

Sorry. Nice try defending the indefensible.

I started with a lie :lamo never heard of the internet? Google? Polling websites? The last years there has been a majority of 55% to 45% of polled people who agree with gay marriage, so nice try, but that is strike and out.

All I see from your post is 8 years of envy of the democrats/Obama for daring to defeat the republican darlings of Mitt and McCain.

Sorry, nice try whining about things that only truly exist in some conservative minds.

Some issues are more important to the President than others are... Apparently supporting homosexuals is more important than supporting our Law Enforcement Officers. Of course, supporting LE isn't going to get any Dem. candidates any extra votes, since the Dem. voting base has already been told by the DNC what to believe and that is that any time a young black man get shot, it's LE fault that he died and nothing he did had anything to do with it.

Can't defend the lie either. Apparently, you had no luck with your internet search so you decided to bluff. Do you really expect anyone to believe that 100% of the country cares about gay marriage?

Nice try with fantasies from the liberal ghetto. Do we hear about unicorns now?

And you don't see a problem with that ?

That's what they get to do. If you become president, you can choose how to light up or not light up the WH.

Do you actually have a criticism other than being unable to make unilateral demands of our president like he's a weak willed puppet ?

Honoring the people who bravely serve us is your idea of a courageous act???? Yes I know you risked your life for me, but I was brave too. I turned on a blue light.

please.

Real courage is not caving to the politics of the second. Real courage is acknowledging that the thousands of other officers who have died in the line of duty deserve every bit as much respect and dignity as those who die when the nation's 30 second attention span bothers to pay attention. Real courage is resisting the urge to politicize other peoples suffering, emphasizing unity and understanding, and doing what is right especially when it hurts.

Talking tough doesn't mean you're tough or courageous, it usually means the opposite. Cowards talk the toughest, but disappear as soon as things get hard.

You may have missed my earlier post mentioning pretzels. So you won't be confused, it was a reference to your twisted logic. Now look, you've done it again. Whattaguy.

I believe that Barack Obama is a coward. Lighting the White House with rainbow colors pandered to our LGBT population while simultaneously stuffing his actions down the throats of all those Americans with differing beliefs and points of view. Had a right leaning group protested the Rainbow lighting, the would have been attacked by all liberals and all democrats. Now, by not lighting the White House blue in solidarity to our policemen, Barack advanced his obvious cowardice. Here's how? He is LOYAL to BLM, The New Black Panthers, to Soros, to chaos, and to a fundemental transformation. They make up his agenda. He can not go against his agenda. If he does, he does it at his own peril. To stand up and give unconditional support to the greatness of our country, the great instituions of our country, would be counterproductive to his agenda of transformation. A blue White House doesn't fit his template. It takes a man to stand up for good, but only a weak coward to cave in to all of the special interests in his many closets. You and I both know that is true.

Calling Barack Obama a coward is a privilege I have as an American. I'm not talking tough. I am calling them the way I see them.

Turning the White House blue will not change the world. What it does, though, is provide further visible proof of the content of you president's character.

I had no luck with my internet search :lamo :lamo

Hilarious, too bad for you I have been visiting polling report for years and years and for years and years it has polled the question about gay marriage:

Gallup poll 5/6-10/15

"Do you think marriages between same-sex couples should or should not be recognized by the law as valid, with the same rights as traditional marriages?"

60% said should, 37% said should not, 3% was unsure.

LGBT (2)

So nice try, but as an avid follower of opinion polls I have been following this gay marriage issue for years.

Also, I did not say 100% agreed with gay marriage, I was talking about the majority.

So I do not have to try anything or need to visit the "liberal ghetto" but you are the one who has been talking unicorns because you sure as hell have not been talking facts or reality.
