These upset parents are not people who voted for the Republican ticket. They voted for this dispicable regime to be in the house, senate and White House and they get what the rest of us knew was coming. I’m sure this won’t be the last of their complaints. I bet none of them refuse their tickets to the egg roll. They should just shut their mouths and accept what they voted for.

@Trujillio

What a load of tripe. The idea behind equality is that everyone will be equal. In this case equal was not good enough, some had preferential or un-equal rights.

If you where interested a wit in what you believe the new administration stands for you’d be on the side of folks who find set asides offensive in a lottery. A lottery like this should include equal chances for all who apply.

If it is supposed to be a lottery, then let it be one. otherwise, make it by invitation only. So far, Obama’s administration is just as prone to gaffes, missteps and out right blunders as the previous one was. Want proof? Check out the video at the top of the page.

I agree. Those military families had no business getting priority treatment.

AMERICA GET INVOLVED IN THE TEA PARTY IN YOUR STATE ON APRIL 15TH! FIND OUT WHERE AT:

http://www.americansolutions.com/General/?Page=a6386a2f-6bb2-4ee5-b230-b46b54c887e4

=======================

First of all, this event is for the children not the adults! It is only important for the children of anyone!

Secondly, I think reserving tickets for certain groups is good and well. Military families, administration families, local DC children are great!

But to be specific in inviting and reserving a block of tickets for Gay and Lesbian parents is inexcusable on this high holy weekend for Christians! They should have known it was going to be controversial.

The scriptures are very specific in saying that it is an “abomination for a man to lay down with another man, or a woman with a woman”!

A Christian should believe each and every word in the scripture…not just picking and choosing what we like and don’t like.

The majority of Americans believe that marriage is between a man and a woman and the scriptures also denote marriage is between a man and a woman.

So it is even more excuseable that they have done this on the weekend that Christians celebrate the death and resurrection of our Savior, Jesus Christ!

The Islamic Muslim President and his administration have no respect for the Christian faith and have just put it in the faces of those Christians who consider this the highest holy day of Christianity!

God is a great God and a loving God for “all” people…but although he does spell out in scripture that as he is a God of peace and love…he also has rules that he expects the Christian to follow and that are spelled out in full in scripture.

But at this point in time…let us all remember it is not the fault of the Gay and Lesbian parents and their children.

They were invited…they should attend and all should be well on the White House lawn.

God also instructs us to be loving and kind to each other so that we may let our light shine for His glory!

Let it shine…let it shine…let it shine!

He is Risen…He is Risen Indeed!

Hickok   April 10th, 2009 - 11:21 am

Whoa Pards,
Before you get your chaps in an uproar, here’s a few facts you need to consider…
1. The rules said all the h0mo men had to enter through the back door.

JJ   April 10th, 2009 - 11:37 am

Hey, be thankful any straight white people get to go.

Hickok   April 10th, 2009 - 11:38 am

WTF…I got cut off midstream..
2. The rules state all lesbo parents must first produce a Licker License
3. These changes have the effect of allowing such flamers as Whatwhatwhat, LarseHole and racerx an equal oppurtunity to attend the Easter Egg Hunt.
4. Bonnie Fwank is explicitly prohibited from being within 50′ of any male child under 8 years old.

kmichaels   April 10th, 2009 - 11:40 am

So then we can assume that on easter egg hunt day that Larse, Dr Gary Pat, Anexio and Cognutcase will not be posting here. Thank God for little favors.

Just checking   April 10th, 2009 - 11:45 am

kmichaels,
And where will you be on easter egg hunt day?

irishkay   April 10th, 2009 - 12:34 pm

This ‘event’ isn’t Easter, anyway! It’s a bunch of kids running around looking for eggs! Who cares, only those who make ‘this event’ their ‘Easter’! BTW has Obama found a mosque to go to for Easter, yet? It’s amazing that the prez and his family hasn’t gone to church since before the election – what is he waiting for, a church to come to him? Is he looking for a church ‘worthy’ of his mightiness? Oh, I know, their still building their ‘new alter for him, it’s not ready yet!

M.Y.O.B.   April 10th, 2009 - 12:40 pm

irishkay,
It is absolutely none of your business if, where, when, or how Mr. Obama attends religious services.

He certainly does not have to do anything to pass your personal litmus test.

Hickok   April 10th, 2009 - 1:07 pm

Irishkay,
You go. Libturds like MYOB had no problem criticizing everything including George Bush’s choice of neckties and socks. Double standards and hypocrisy are the main staples of the libturds diet.

Hickok   April 10th, 2009 - 1:10 pm

An unwitting victim of selective and random “Awaiting Moderation” limbo. Sigh….

irishkay   April 10th, 2009 - 1:10 pm

This incompetent imposter of a President, IS MY BUSINESS! Everything this moron does is my business!
Especially when he disses this country as no longer being a Christian nation – so you can stick it! What he pretends to stand for is a joke, including the so-called church he learned his hatred for America in! He finds Christianity repulsive – and has spent a lot of time apologizing for it around the world! And yes, IT IS IMPORTANT FOR OUR PRESIDENT TO UPHOLD THE CHRISTIAN TRADITIONS THIS COUNTRY WAS FOUNDED ON IF HE WANTS TO KEEP ON PRETENDING TO BE ‘OUR PRESIDENT’!

PICKING & CHOOSING   April 10th, 2009 - 1:14 pm

WERE any straight, white people allowed to go????

Hickok   April 10th, 2009 - 1:15 pm

The Transgender Parents of America just filed suit through the local ACLU office to attend the Easter Egg Hunt. Also, Dr. MaryFatA$$ applied to set up her Discount Handjob Kiosk at the festivities.

MISFITS ARE NOT NORMAL BY DEFINITION   April 10th, 2009 - 1:18 pm

It is offensive that OFFICIAL POLICY is to treat MISFITS as though they are perfectly NORMAL…

Did they also invite NAMBLA to come and roll eggs with a bunch of cute little boys?

Just sayin'   April 10th, 2009 - 2:04 pm

Gays as equals?
Here’s an experiment…Take a group of 6 “same-sex couples” and a group of NORMAL couples and place them on separate deserted islands. Then come back in 60 years. On one island you’ll find 11 graves and 1 skeleton. On the other there will be a thriving culture. Can you guess which island had the normal couples on it?

Steve F   April 10th, 2009 - 2:25 pm

I think most ALL of my friends/family would not want to go near the Whitehouse with the Affirmative Action couple now calling it the “crib”. For the first time in my life I am ashamed by the Empty suit Fool that is taking up space in the whitehouse. I have never seen the Whitehouse treated with less “respect”, something these “ghetto dwellers” do not have the class/upbringing to understand. What about the “Arab/Terrorist Pirates” BO? Too much for you to handle? What a total FAILURE! BO’s Administration looks like a 3rd world country..and about as effective!

Moron   April 10th, 2009 - 3:28 pm

A) I agree with Eileen, only poeple she approves should be allowed to go.

B) I do not think a reporter from CBN counts as “parents”, as far as who is upset.

TaxesTeaParty   April 10th, 2009 - 3:50 pm

May be it will turn into something like the yearly festival Nancy Pelosi hosts on her streets every year.

Check out the nice family photos.

Gee I wonder if they have to fill out a questionnaire before receiving a ticket or if a Obama staffer just asks if you about your sexual experiences. Do bi-sexual people get lumped in with the all out gays? Why stop at gays why not have a block saved for the illegal alien egg roll. Would someone please explain to me why gays feel the need to tell the whole world about their sex acts via parades and special rules? Is it because they know deep down inside they are doing something disgusting and just think it will be ok if other people accept their unnatural behavior?

E390   April 10th, 2009 - 5:53 pm

Better yet give them turkey basters to roll the eggs.

doogle   April 10th, 2009 - 7:06 pm

PLEASE tell the chil’ren there AREN’T ANY Easter Eggs behind the bushes.

Wouldn’t want the kids to back there looking for eggs and get frightened by the naked people having sex.

Dixie Normous   April 10th, 2009 - 8:16 pm

Not to worry, this will be the last Easter Egg Roll on the White house lawn if Odammit remains in office.

The trouble is, the myths of Economic Recovery, Global Warming, U.S. Citizenship, and a Christian President will all evaporate along with the Easter Bunny for these kids.

Hickok   April 10th, 2009 - 8:43 pm

Why?

sammy   April 10th, 2009 - 9:01 pm

I here Obama got the Hamas bunny to teach the little ones some ethics during the roll.I am surprised he didn’t change the rules and have all the little kids dress in little green army uniforms and roll grenades at those pesky christians and jews.

Senator Klit Torris   April 10th, 2009 - 10:25 pm

After the Easter Egg Hunt, the parents can visit D.C., to show their little darlings the Capitol of murders, crack dealers, armed robbery, et alia. Maybe if they’re lucky, they can get carjacked, for that up close and personal experience.

Rufus   April 11th, 2009 - 1:14 am

Has to be the last Easter egg roll.
All future chicken eggs will be hatched and the chicken battered and deep fat fried for the participants of what will then become the Great Uncle Sambo watermelon patch role and stealth stealing event.

Senator Klit Torris   April 11th, 2009 - 7:43 am

Update !!! The Easter Egg Hunt has been cancelled. The Obamanation Administration has decided to take all the eggs to a government lab, where the embryonic stem cells will be harvested from the bunny eggs for medical research. Stay tuned for updates……..

Senator Klit Torris   April 11th, 2009 - 7:46 am

The Obama Admistration has released info on the eggs. 72% of the Black Bunny Eggs were hatched out of wedlock.

No Bama   April 11th, 2009 - 11:14 pm

Being homos*xual is like being a family member of a Nazi official – you get special privileges for being associated with this radical hate-group. Let’s face it homos*xuals hate heteros*xuality and all those who defend it.

mark   April 11th, 2009 - 11:31 pm

Hope you racist homobigots got a big chuckle out of your posts on this thread. YOU offend 70% of Americans, but as long as you have your 20% of Cheney-lovin’ faithful, and almost ALL the white male voters in Appalachia, you’ll be happy, and LOSE EVERY NATIONAL ELECTION for 40 years.

mark   April 11th, 2009 - 11:46 pm

btw. All you fervrent gay-haters what’d you get from Bush? A pat on the head for your clueless “Family” leaders Dobson, Haggard, Perkins…and laughter of queer Karl Rove and queer Mehlman, and queer Scott McClellan as they say don’t let the door hit you in the a$$ on the way out.
Terri Shiavo died, NO repeal of Roe vs. Wade, and NO US Constitution on marriage.
I’m laughing with ROVE at what morons you folks are, and how easily they PLAYED YOU!

Anexio   April 12th, 2009 - 2:01 pm

Why is there even an Easter egg hunt at the White House anyway? After Christmas, Easter has to be the most preposterous holiday on the American calendar. It’s nothing but superstitious nonsense.

So Easter is all about celebrating an event, where a man died and then came back to life. Ha ha ha!!!

So what did Jesus do after he came back to life, bugger little boys like the Pope does?

Eileen for Freedom/Liberty   April 12th, 2009 - 3:30 pm

Dear Anexio…be very careful in your comments…blasphemy is a sin and God has said He will not be mocked!

You are truly living on the edge…

sammy   April 12th, 2009 - 8:17 pm

Come on you filthy liberals. Come stick up for your brain dead pal Anexio’s comment. Their should be an age limit to post here.

luckybear   April 13th, 2009 - 1:12 pm

God mocks himself. God doesn’t exist and if he did he wouldn’t concern himself with trivial matters. God isn’t needed to enforce societal vaules and norms. The Christian God is the same God as the Jewish one and the Muslim one. They are all imaginary.

You weak Christians need to calm down. You’re so insecure with needing to control everything. If you think abortion is wrong don’t do it. Roe v Wade should have never been decided because it gives dumb people an endless campaign theme. Sorry christian voters Republicans will never get abortion over turned because it’s such a good issue to run on.

Course these holy people are never holy. All either homosexuals themselves or high on meth or drunk. How is Jimmy Swaggart and Pastor Ted Haggard treating you? How about Paul Barnes or Joe Barron or Warren Jeffs. All Christians are hypocrites and now they have no power! How big is your God now?

Anexio's KARMIC LOAD   April 13th, 2009 - 2:59 pm

When Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, they know not what they do,” He meant: They have no concept of the HORRIFIC KARMIC ACCOUNT they are stockpiling, to be paid in the future…

Think about it, Anexio! “Your KARMIC LOAD is piling up…”

SHUT UP ABOUT RACE & GENDER PROCLIVITIES   April 13th, 2009 - 3:12 pm

You know, it would be a FAR FAR BETTER WORLD, if people would ALL shut up about RACE & GENDER-PREFERENCES and just be HUMAN BEINGS WITH A LIVE & LET LIVE PHILOSOPHY.

Imagine that! (Instead, we have this constant, nonstop RACE-BAITING and GAY-TAUNTING crap–and there is never ANY PEACE to be had anywhere!)

Why don’t those who are responsible for this nonstop TAUNTING just SHUT UP???

I never thought I would see the day I would agree with Eileen but I do this time.

Some of the most rabid racist and xenaphobics post here.
It must be truly sad to have that type of anger inside to be able to spew the kind of vitriol posted here.

I am gone, dwelling here for too long can not be a good thing.
