Hopefully it will not rain before getting the lawn cut.
Isn't today the long anticipated golf game between Obama and Boehner? It does my heart good to know that the two of them are going hash out their differences while smacking around a little white ball. The fact that millions of out of work Americans could not even afford to pay the greens fees on one of their local city courses should not stand in the way of those over-paid politicians having a most excellent time.
As Kyle-Ann Shiver says in her fine article at American Thinker:
Do they not realize how utterly foolish they look to the rest of the Country? While the citizenry suffers under the yoke of political-class policy failures, and these two leaders cannot -- among all those brilliant-beyond-brilliant policy makers -- find any real solutions, they choose to go play golf together.
Foolish, indeed.
The present White House also thinks it's a super-dooper most excellent idea to sell raffle tickets in order to win "dinner with Obama." Really, folks. This is cringe inducing.
Maggie, over at her Notebook, reminds us that while a $5.00 donation gets you entered in a "sweepstakes" for dinner, 500K gets you a cushy job with the Obama administration.
The Hounds of Hell...
will be unleashed against former football player David Tyree who dared to say marriage should be between a man and a woman.. Already a Yahoo article has called his comment "shocking." Really? I think calling what two members of the same sex do with each other, which is subsequently bandied about the airwaves for all to hear, "shocking."
But, wait. The Daley Gator reminds us: Most Americans Still Believe In Traditional Marriage, Poll Reveals
So why is a group of no more than 2% of the population dictating to the rest of us about redefining the definition of marriage?
Quin Hillyer thinks we still have a chance of dragging this country back from the abyss.
[...]At issue is a country that has lost its way, in part because far too many millions of its individual citizens have lost their own way in their daily lives. The full litany of ills is so familiar that anything more than a sample list of them would be boring: out-of-wedlock pregnancies, abortions, hideously trashy prime-time TV shows, raunchy music, attire in public that isn't just slovenly but scandalous, casual acceptance of financial cheating… and more, ad infinitum. Another, less-recognized sin is that of a certain form of sloth, which shows itself in declining standards across the board -- as evidenced, for just one example, in this week's story (similar to dozens of other stories on such subjects in the past two decades) about just how pathetically American children do on tests of the most basic historical (or civic-related) information.
Many will find his solution "shocking."
Angel, over at Woman Honor Thyself, has even more "shocking" stuff to say.

Want to know the best reason for liking Michele Bachmann? Every lefty loon I know in Minnesota loathes her. They've labeled her with the worst epitaph they can conjure up from their extremely limited vocabulary; stupid. Never mind that these loons are living in mom's basement. By gosh - they know "stupid" when they see it.

Great roundup, thanks for the linky-love!
Thanks for the link, Adrienne! I appreciate the attention.
As for your comment about why marriage is being redefined, the simple fact of the matter is that the redefinition of marriage to include "same-sex couples" is only the end result of a long-march through the institutions by the Left. Remember, the Left plays the long-game. With the Left, the battle is rarely about whatever is actually being fought over now, the battle is a long-term struggle to undermine the fundamental institutions in our society, so those institutions can be replaced by the State or alternate arrangements favored by the Left.
The struggle to redefine marriage really took root back in the 1920's, with the beginning of the push for artificial contraception. The idea of marriage -- an institution centered on children & family -- began to be reimaged. After the wholesale legalization of contraception in the late 1960's, the shift regarding marriage went from its focus (children & family) to the happiness of the people involved in the marriage (at that point, the husband & wife). If one of them were no longer happy, then the marriage should be ended. Hence, no fault divorce.
Those two developments fundamentally changed the nature of marriage. The sexual-orientation stuff is just carrying the fundamental assumptions of the "new theory" of marriage to its logical conclusion. This is what is fueling the push for same-sex marriage on the Left, the sense that restricting marriage to heterosexual couples violates the fundamental ideas at the root of the "new theory" of marriage.
FWIW.
Gee, Mr. Obama, I'd love to have dinner with you, but I don't have $20 to spare.
