What’s he caterwauling about today? This:
The president of a group dedicated to exposing the homosexual activist agenda thinks President Obama should be impeached for ignoring the law and ordering Blue Cross Blue Shield to provide coverage for the same-gender “spouse” of a federal worker.
Amy C. Cunninghis, the “wife” of Karen Golinski, a federal court employee in California, was previously denied coverage. The new position follows a ruling from U.S. District Judge Jeffrey S. White of San Francisco declaring that the federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) “unconstitutionally discriminates against same-sex married couples”
Peter LaBarbera of Americans for Truth About Homosexuality (AFTAH) tells OneNewsNow the directive was in a letter from the U.S. Office of Personnel Management, instructing the insurance provider to “implement an expeditious enrollment of Ms. Cunninghis.”
“This is another shocking act by the Obama administration, which has got to be the most arrogant and Constitution-abusing president in America’s history,” he decides. “The Obama administration didn’t like the Defense of Marriage Act, which was passed by Congress [and] signed into law by then-President Clinton, and so now they’re just ignoring it and blatantly disregarding it.”
[...]
“I believe that President Obama should be impeached on this alone,” he suggests. “He’s not dictator of the United States of America; he’s president, and he can’t just ignore the law, ignore the Constitution, to pander to his homosexual activist base.”
Right, see, civics lesson for Porno Pete real quick: the fact that the law was passed and signed by another president does not mean it’s constitutional. Obama’s Justice Department has determined that the law is, in fact,unconstitutional. The courts, every time they have a chance to speak on the matter, also suggest that the law as written and enacted is unconstitutional. This conclusion is actually not hard to reach, even if you’re a wingnut. A person need only understand the meaning of Full Faith & Credit to realize that DOMA flies in the face of the US Constitution. That’s why the law is dying a much-too-slow but inevitable death.

They don’t seem to have a problem with the fact that we pay the same taxes and premiums as everyone else (and should get the same services).
ps, Ms. Cunninghis name made me do a double take. >;-P
Porno Petey finds this “shocking,” I can just picture him clutching his pearls whilst his underpants get all twisted up.
Why isn’t anyone confronting these people and asking them why something that has absolutely no impact on them is consuming so much of their time (and their supporters’ money). Indeed, let’s follow that money and ask those supporters why they are funding social parasites. Shame them for what they’re doing. Because that’s what people like LaBarbarian are. Parasites. They aren’t even lilies of the field, because at least lilies are a demonstrable part of the ecosystem and thus serve a purpose. The only thing LaBarbera and his ilk do is spread misery and lies. And here I thought bearing false witnessd was a violation of the 10 Commandments.
We pay the same taxes and premiums and should be getting the same benefits. Screw Peter Barbara–oops, my bad. No one with any taste at all would touch him with a 20 foot pole.
Um, I think the court’s ruling left the President and OPM no choice but to comply with what the judge ordered. That’s how our system of laws and courts work, but some people only notice when it suits them, apparently.
Gosh, Pete is just one big complete bundle of “truth about homosexuality” isn’t he? I always wonder just where he dredged up all this truth. Truth, in this case, is that, as mentioned already, the “judge” made the decision about the law being unconstitutional, not the President. Good thing his followers, like so many other holier-than-thous, are as dumb as he is. They soak up this twisted version like it’s life-giving water. Go Pete, you fraud!
