What's good for the goose is not always good for the gander, according to the Traditional Values Coalition.The TVC, headed by Andrea Lafferty and Lou Sheldon, a daughter-father team, is that absurd, ultra-right wingnut operation that spends millions of dollars of donated money annually to screech and holler about homosexuality mostly, with some whining done about abortion.
The TVC is terribly upset that President-elect Obama may "begin using Executive Orders to undo many of the Bush policies that protect life, national security, and other pro-family concerns."
That's right. Worry, worry, worry. What will we do?
Omigod, it's possible that Planned Parenthood, that evil and murderous abortion mill, is right when it claims that Obama's going to "rescind protections on taxpayer-funded abortions and abortion counseling immediately after he takes office."
Furthermore, cries the TVC, "Obama's transition team is working closely with pro-abortion groups to set priorities on which Bush Executive Orders to reverse. It is likely that Obama will also reverse policies that protect taxpayers from having to fund abortions overseas. In addition, he will probably overturn Bush's prohibition against new embryonic stem cell research."
And all the sane people yelled "Hurrah!" and "It's about time!"
The TVC, though, is in mourning. It's all right, you see, if Bush signs Executive Orders and bypasses Congress to disobey laws he dislikes. It's OK if Bush signs Executive Orders allowing the military and the CIA to torture prisoners. It's OK if Bush signs Executive Orders that allow his corporate cronies to destroy the environment. It's OK if Bush signs Executive Orders approving the use of illegal wiretaps on American citizens.
The TVC has nothing to say about those things. They aren't important.
We wouldn't expect them to, of course, as the TVC is the scum of the religious right, one of the most virulent and hateful groups that claim Jesus as their guide.
TVC epitomizes the darkness of Christian fundamentalism and exposes the hypocrisy of fundamentalist theology.
Where is god when you need her?

Folks, this is NOT rocket science.
Since the Constitution’s Article II requires our President to be a “natural born citizen” (not merely a “citizen” as allowed for those living when the Constitution was enacted), meaning both parents were US “citizens” when the child was born (altho parents need not be “natural born” citizens), there’s NO WAY Obama can be President — regardless of being born in Kenya OR Hawaii — that is, to be “natural born citizen” (as opposed to being a “citizen”) being born on American soil is insufficient unless both parents are “citizens”. Obama’s dad was NOT an American citizen. He was a citizen of the UK (administering Kenya at the time).
Case closed.
