Rep. Barney Frank Speaks Passionately About ENDA - Which Passed 235-184

2008-10-22T15:31:03Z

Somewhere tonight there are some angry, closeted Republicans about the fact that a civilized society would dare give equal rights to all its citizens. This is a historic vote, and one that makes me feel a bit better about where my country is after some of the caves by Democrats lately.

In his speech, Barney Frank gets it exactly right. "The opponents don't want to debate the bill on its merits." As they don't want to with Iraq redeployment, healthcare for children, etc. and so forth. On the merits, right-wing nuts tend to lose.

Housecleaning request.

It's been a while since I've bugged you, but as you know, a good thing never lasts.

Please click on our advertisers and check out what they have to say. We really appreciate their support, and your support by visiting them.

Media Matters has been a fav of mine for years (one of the first books I read when I got back into politics was "Blinded by the Right") and always informative. The ENDA legislation is worth learning more about and I don't think I need to explain to anyone who stops by here how important SCHIP is.

I've clicked around Greenbin and bookmarked it (great idea), and as soon as I get done with this, I'm going to check out the new ad. Looks interesting- but then anything that mentions the Carlyle Group gets my attention.

Thanks again for everything you guys do for us. It makes it fun to care about politics when you know others feel the same.

Gay People Shouldn't be Allowed to Work...

2008-10-24T03:31:11Z

at least that is the sentiment the law upholds in 31 of these United States. You can be the best at what you do, but don’t you be gay just don't be gay or your ability to rise to the top will become increasingly difficult. The ENDA is a federal bill that would make it illegal to fire, refuse to hire, or fail to promote someone based simply on sexual orientation or gender identity.

I was always under the impression that part of being an American was the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. I guess that is mostly true; unless of course - you’re different. That’s where it gets iffy. The idea that we have to have bills and amendments that call for equal rights and an end to discrimination against certain groups in 2007 is repugnant. Aren’t we a civilized society? How can it be legal to terminate someone entirely because of who they are? Don't allow it to be.
