Robert McCarroll: IT’S HARD OUT THERE FOR A GAY REPUBLICAN!

Robert McCarroll

IT’S HARD OUT THERE FOR A GAY REPUBLICAN

Mitt Romney's gay BFF resigns. Or maybe gets fired. So are gay Republicans gluttons for punishment or WHAT?

IT’S HARD OUT THERE FOR A GAY REPUBLICAN – www.xojane.com – 02/05/12

...Continue Reading

Photo: Raise your hand if you love queers! VERY FUNNY MITT, PUT IT DOWN.

So I thought it was pretty interesting when Mitt Romney hired Richard Grenell as a spokesman. I’ll admit it. Grenell, in spite of being a Republican who has also worked for such conservative luminairies as George W. Bush and Newt Gingrich, is openly gay, and to put such a person in a highly visible position in one’s Republican presidential campaign seemed... punchy.

Sure, Romney has espoused some pretty staunch anti-gay positions. Recently. Uh, very recently. During his tenure as governor of my adopted state of Massachusetts, Romney was a little fuzzier on the details, saying he opposed same sex marriage in any form (even the diplomatically phrased “civil unions”) while also pledging to “defend and expand” the rights of gay and lesbian constituents.

When same sex marriage finally passed in Massachusetts in 2004 -- the first state in the US to do so, and I am bound to note that we have not been consumed in flame, eaten by locusts, or otherwise biblically-upheaved since then -- Romney, classy dude that he is, went to the archives in a feeble attempt to stem the bleeding. There he discovered a 1913 law prohibiting couples from receiving marriage licenses in Massachusetts if they could not be legally married in their home state.

Of course, this only affected same-sex couples entering Massachusetts from elsewhere. Still, Romney demanded that clerks in town halls statewide enforce this law. If we’re gonna have married queers, they’re only going to be OUR queers, I guess was his logic.

The problem was the long-ignored 1913 law was originally passed to prevent interracial marriage.

That’s right: Mitt Romney invoked hundred-year-old racism to prop up modern-day homophobia. I told you he was a classy dude. (To Romney’s credit, he has historically supported the abolition of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, and has defended domestic partnership benefits, so it’s true he has not always been a cavalierly anti-gay politician. But STILL.)

The 1913 law was officially repealed in 2008, after a whole lot of head-shaking and face-palming about the whole thing, which even then was perceived as Romney positioning himself for an eventual presidential run, and heaven knows you can’t run for president as a Republican without hating on the gays.

Nevertheless, it seems Romney has been secretly clinging to the idea that there is room for nuance in his relationship with gay Republicans, and his hiring Richard Grenell -- an outspoken supporter of same sex marriage, in spite of his conservative cred -- would support this possibility. Unfortunately, his party had other ideas, and owing to incredible pressure from left and right alike, Grenell has resigned, telling the Washington Post:

“While I welcomed the challenge to confront President Obama’s foreign policy failures and weak leadership on the world stage, my ability to speak clearly and forcefully on the issues has been greatly diminished by the hyper-partisan discussion of personal issues that sometimes comes from a presidential campaign... I want to thank Governor Romney for his belief in me and my abilities and his clear message to me that being openly gay was a non-issue for him and his team.”

I’ll cop to the fact that I’m not exactly pulling for Romney in 2012. But I find this development incredibly sad, because even though I disagree with much of what the Republican party stands for, it is grotesque that a few outspoken gatekeepers would work so hard to exclude people from their platform because of their private personal lives.

One such gatekeeper is American Family Association (when did “family” become a code word for narrowmindedness anyway?) radio host Bryan Fischer, who wasted no time in taking full credit for Grenell’s departure, calling it “a huge win for us in regard to Mitt Romney,” with “us” ostensibly standing in for “people filled with the warm fire of unrestrained hatred.” Hey, it’s great to be so excited about chasing someone out of their job with pitchforks and torches. That gives me hope for the human race.

Fischer’s gentle prodding of Grenell included the following:

Last week, Fischer slammed Romney's decision to appoint Grenell. Describing Grenell as "out, loud and proud homosexual," Fischer noted, "What gays want is...they don't want the rights, they want the title...they are not about commitment. Homosexuals are about short-lived relationships and frequent anonymous sexual encounters...that becomes a significant issue when we're talking about pointing someone to a post as sensitive as national security and foreign policy."

You read that right: frequent anonymous sexual encounters are a barrier to national security. Like, what if you have anonymous sex with someone in Iran and accidentally tell them the US nuclear missile launch codes in the throes of passion? What if your penis (or other genitalia, I guess your butt could do this too) actually transmits confidential foreign policy information through sexual contact? WHAT THEN?

It’s worth noting that gay folks do not have the monopoly on frequent anonymous sexual encounters, but I guess they’re the only ones with the magical foreign policy genitalia. At least in Bryan Fischer’s world.

Some Romney opponents are actually a bit relieved to see the back of Grenell on this issue (get it, "see the back of" him? oh never mind) as they feel it will prevent Romney from masking his true anti-gay face any longer. Jennifer Rubin of the Washington Post, who actually broke the story, has suggested that Grenell was “hounded” out of the campaignbecause of his gayness, something the Romney camp has quickly denied.

The conventional wisdom, at least among liberals, is that Republicans who land on the GLBTQ spectrum must necessarily be self-hating gluttons for punishment. I think this is unfair. The Republican party is about more than oppressing women, queers, people of color, and anyone else not on top of the American privilege pile. Indeed, it doesn’t even have to be PARTLY about that.

But like Darth Vader, the Republican party serves an important purpose, which is to bring balance to American politics. I can live with the reality that the GOP is all shrivelly white old man under that shiny black helmet, if at their best, they counter Democratic enthusiasm, and vice versa.

The Republican party at its core is supposed to be in favor of states’ rights and smaller government, two ideologies I personally have beef with, but I would never argue that they are political positions that don’t deserve to exist, as neither of these positions is inherently about hating or condemning anyone for their personal lives. I think gay folks should be able to align themselves with conservatism, if they want. I mean, FREEDOM and all that.

Will this development ultimately cost Romney the support (and fundraising assistance!) of gay Republicans, as many are predicting? Time will tell. More than that, the bigger tragedy is that this is another instance in which a religion-fueled right-wing fixation with social correctness has cost us a chance to see the grey areas in which fiscally conservative, socially liberal Republicans must live -- and as it continues to cost them a recognized and friendly space in their own party.

I am convinced that the 2012 Election for President will be about whether we want government by the Ninety-Nine Percent or by the One Percent including greedy corporations who buy political power.

I wonder if Ivan González Cancel likes this commentary by me that was published in the Puerto Rico Daily Sun VOICES and in Puerto Rico News Topix. It keeps showing up on websites advocating his candidacy for Governor of Puerto Rico. I used the top photo in my posings instead of the photo used by Gonzalez Cancel? I would like to know whether Ivan González Cancel agrees with me and many of my friends that the Puerto Rico and Federal governments should investigate for possible illegalities Sprint’s extremely poor service and even non-service in certain areas – like where I live – yet still charge customers for service not provided. – Isn’t this stealing to sell what you know is not available? -- I have a feeling Ivan González would not be a political leader greedy for contributions from corporations more interested in getting rich at the expense of the middle class and lower income people. He would protect the people of Puerto Rico instead of looking the other way when greedy corporations, who are big contributors to politicians wanting cash more than serving the people, are ripping off the people – the Ninety-Nine Percenters. I am convinced that the 2012 Election for President will be about whether we want government by the Ninety-Nine Percent or by the One Percent including greedy corporations who buy political power. It is time to end Corporate Greed in not only the national election but in the local elections! --- Whistle Blower Robert McCarroll

Could González Cancel be a male “Joan of Arc” to save Puerto Rico?

Posted by: Upfront Yankee

When I opened the Daily Sun to pages 4 & 5, I decided that this must be another boring political story about an unappealing candidate. However, as I read the Peggy Ann Bliss commentary: “González Cancel launches NPP primary fight,” I kept saying enthusiastically to my self, “Yes... Yes... Yes...” to everyone of the points that González Cancel made regarding what is wrong with Puerto Rico and what he would do as governor to correct these problems.

He blames corruption for almost all of Puerto Rico’s ills, including the bad economy and the failure to advance the statehood ideal. Often when I read about the high crime rate and political corruption in Puerto Rico, I would wonder why would any stateside American want Puerto Rico to join the Union. It seems that I and González Cancel are on the same wave length that Puerto Rico needs to change or improve to have statehood appeal here and there.

Recently, Fortuño said that what he has done for Puerto Rico could be a learning lesson for Washington. I think he has it backwards. What the Tea Party Republicans in Washington are doing to harm the middle, working and disadvantaged classes in the United States, Republican Fortuño is doing the same to the people here in Puerto Rico. Is he influenced by his Tea Party friends in Washington and the red states? What he can teach Washington, is how to make the people wait two to three hours – even more – for a public bus to go to work. How to have the murder rate and other violent crimes become the highest rate in the history of Puerto Rico. Many stateside jurisdictions are reducing crime while Puerto Rico continues to increase crime under Fortuño. I hope the anticipated indictments expected from the United States Department of Justice – FBI will be issued to corrupt officials before the NPP primary. We don’t want to nominate candidates and then find out that they have been indicted for serious crimes. It would be worse if they got elected; and then, we learn that they are corrupt.

In addition to serious problems with law enforcement, little has been done under Fortuño to improve the Education Department and Public Health Department to properly serve the people. He fired a lot of public workers to the point where areas to serve the people are now seriously understaffed and in complete disarray. It seems “no one is minding the store.”

González recognizes the need to improve these services for the people and has offer many excellent ideas on how to make government better serve all the people in Puerto Rico.

Why did I keep thinking of Joan of Arc as I read the many ideas González Cancel offers to make Puerto Rico worthy for statehood and accepted by stateside Americans? How can the people follow this male Joan of Arc to save Puerto Rico?

Arizona and Interposition

Published: April 24, 2012

An important verb appears on page 14 of the government’s brief in Arizona v. the United States, the case about four provisions of that state’s immigration law that will be argued on Wednesday in the Supreme Court. The government says Arizona is trying to “interpose” its own judgments on “national security, law enforcement, foreign policy, humanitarian considerations and the rights of law-abiding citizens and aliens.” It says the Constitution and Congress, in the Immigration and Nationality Act, give the executive branch authority to handle those issues.

For Op-Ed, follow @nytopinion and to hear from the editorial page editor, Andrew Rosenthal, follow @andyrNYT.

The word “interpose” is a yellow flag in the history of state and federal relations. The southern states claimed a right of “interposition” as a basis for secession before the Civil War, and they resurrected the idea in the 1950s. Just as they claimed the right to interpose their power between the federal government and their populations over slavery and other issues in the 19th century, the southern states claimed the right to ignore the Supreme Court’s desegregation order in Brown v. Board of Education.

In 1958, in Cooper v. Aaron, the court scorched this idea and reaffirmed that Arkansas had a duty to follow federal law. The governor had contended he was not bound by the court decision and ordered the National Guard to bar nine African-American students from Little Rock’s Central High School, causing violence and disorder. In a unanimous opinion that they all signed, the nine justices said that the “chaos, bedlam and turmoil” caused by the governor’s disobedience was “intolerable.”

Arizona’s argument is somewhat different. Arizona contends that it has the power to make its own immigration policy even though the federal government has authority over immigration as part of foreign policy. It says its statute merely empowers law enforcement to cooperate with federal officers.

That is extremely disingenuous, to put it politely. The law transforms a federal policy that allows discretion in seeking serious criminals among illegal immigrants into a state mandate to single out everyone in Arizona illegally. The four provisions of the statute at issue essentially turn all Hispanics, including American citizens and legal residents, into criminal suspects. They require racial profiling, and, because their purpose is “attrition through enforcement,” their goal effectively is separation by race.

Just as racial equality was the law of the land during the desegregation era, it is the law of the land today. It is imperative that there be “a single, national approach” to immigration, as the government’s brief explains, and that any state law fulfills America’s hard-won commitment to racial equality. Arizona’s anti-immigrant statute emphatically does not.

A version of this editorial appeared in print on April 25, 2012, on page A24 of the New York edition with the headline: Arizona and Interposition.

BBC News - Anders Behring Breivik says insanity report '80% lies'

25 April 2012 Last updated at 07:17 ET

Anders Behring Breivik says insanity report '80% lies'

Anders Behring Breivik, in court in Oslo, 25 April

Breivik has argued he should either be put to death or acquitted

Norway Attacks

Anders Behring Breivik has told his trial in Oslo that "80%" of a psychiatric report that found him insane in relation to his 77 killings in two attacks last July is "lies".

Breivik has returned to the stand to argue he is sane and should not be committed to a mental institution.
The court is discussing two psychiatric reports that came to opposing views on his sanity.
The court earlier heard more testimony from victims of the Oslo bombing.
Breivik, 33, admits to killing 77 people in Oslo and on Utoeya island but denies criminal responsibility.
'Death or acquittal' The BBC's Lars Bevanger in Oslo says Wednesday's evidence is crucial from Breivik's point of view.
The decision on Breivik's sanity will determine whether he is sent to jail or a psychiatric institution. The five-strong panel of judges will make the ruling at the verdict in July.
Breivik is arguing against the first psychiatric report, which found him legally insane and suffering from paranoid schizophrenia, and in favour of the second, which concluded he was accountable for his actions.
He told the court that the psychiatrists compiling the first study had failed to understand he had deliberately suppressed his emotions to prepare for attacks.

At the scene

Lars Bevanger Oslo

The first of Anders Behring Breivik's surviving victims has given evidence in court. Eivind Dahl Thoresen, a 26-year old-law student, recalled how he was blown over as he walked only metres from the car bomb in Oslo while chatting about the Tour de France with a friend on his mobile phone.
He told the court how he came to be covered in blood. The paramedics who took him away in an ambulance were worried there might be another bomb about to go off. Nine months on, Mr Thoresen still needs crutches and has reduced use of one arm.
Earlier the court heard coroner's reports of those who died in the blast outside the government buildings. The details have been too gruesome for media here to report, but spoke of the extreme violence caused by the bomb. Families of the dead have been listening to all this in court, while Breivik has remained largely motionless and appearing interested yet emotionless throughout.

He said: "It is not me who is described in that report... Everything I presented was entirely logical. I don't see the slightest possibility I will be judged insane."

Our correspondent says this is a key issue for Breivik, who wants to show his actions were motivated by a political ideology.
Breivik has said committal to a psychiatric ward would be a fate worse than death and he would do "anything to prevent" it.
Breivik himself has argued he should either be put to death or acquitted.
Our correspondent says most people in Norway who have been following the trial expect Breivik to be found sane, given the way he has conducted himself in court.
If so he could face 21 years in jail, which can be extended if he is thought a continuing danger to society. He would face compulsory psychiatric care if found insane.
Earlier, the court heard more testimony from those injured in the Oslo blast and more forensic evidence of the explosion.
Passer-by Eivind Dahl Thoresen described seeing flames out of the corner of his right eye, lifting his hands to his face and being thrown backwards.
Deafened, he said he tried to help another injured man before noticing he was himself bleeding heavily and lay down, shouting for help.
The prosecution also read a statement on behalf of another blast victim, who lost a limb.
Our correspondent says these are some of the first tales of the many victims of the July attacks and over the next eight and a half weeks of the trial, there are sure to be many more harrowing stories to come.
He says that in a few weeks time there will be 69 more coroner's reports - one for each of the deaths at the Labour Party youth camp on Utoeya island.
Relatives of victims sobbed during the evidence on both Tuesday and Wednesday.
Breivik watched the witnesses without any visible emotion.
On Wednesday he said if anyone should apologise for the killings it should be the ruling Labour Party.
"But instead they continue in the same direction, so the grounds for struggle are unfortunately even more relevant now than before July 22."
Breivik spent the first week of the trial giving his own version of events, saying his plan was to kill as many people as possible.
He says he was defending Norway from multiculturalism.
