GAYS IN THE WHITE HOUSE

Speaking of politics, the Republican Party continues to recruit Muslims and homosexuals. To me this is just about the most bizarre folly I have ever seen in my life. These two groups hate each other. In every Islamic nation, homosexuals are either beheaded or hung.

On April 18th about fifty leaders of the homosexual group, Log Cabin Republicans, were invited to the White House for what they called "high level briefings." The briefing was given by Mary Matalin who is an assistant to President Bush and a "counselor" to Vice President Cheney. Participating in the briefing were Lezlee Westine, Director of the White House Public Liaison office and Scott Evertz who is director of the White House Office of National AIDS Policy. Several other White House officials made presentations to the homosexual group

Keep in mind that Mary Matalin is the wife of the "Ragin' Cajun" James Carville, a man sworn to defeat Governor Jeb Bush in Florida and to kick George Bush out of the White House in 2004.

The Log Cabin Republicans were also hosted by Congressman Tom Davis who heads the National Republican Congressional Committee. This is the Republican organization that recruits and helps elect congressmen. At the congressional meeting, freshmen Republican Congressmen Mike Ferguson (R-NJ) and Rob Simmons (R-CT) thanked the group for supporting them in the last election. Openly homosexual Republican congressman Jim Kolbe (R-AZ) was also a part of this reception.

Congressman Tom Davis has been a champion for homosexual recruitment into the party for many years, so his participation was no surprise. I was shocked, however, to find that evangelical Christian Senator Bill Frist (R-TN) who is the head of the Republican Senatorial Committee, also held a reception for the Log Cabin Republicans. Pro-life Senator Rick Santorum (R-PA) also met with the group of homosexual leaders during their convention in Washington.

Finally, the Log Cabin Republicans held a "black-tie" fund raiser at Union Station in Washington, DC on April 20th and raised more than $50,000 of "hard" money for Republican candidates who back "homosexual rights." There were very few women present.

How big is the "Big Tent" of the Republican party? Once the tent is full of homosexuals and Muslims will evangelical Christians still be welcome? Or will they still care to be there at all? That question is yet to be answered.
