Hillary Clinton: six big questions liberals want her to answer – now

http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/apr/17/hillary-clinton-questions-liberals-immigration-lgbt-rights

Immigration reform, LGBT rights and dark money are sources of concern for many on the left as the Democrat’s campaign gets off the ground


1. Immigration reform: Can she clear a pathway to citizenship?

2. The Keystone XL pipeline: Will she speak up?

3. Dark money: Is she serious about campaign-finance reform?

4. Wall Street: Does she want to crack down – or just look radical-ish?

5. LGBT rights: How much does she care, really?

6. Trans-Pacific Partnership: Will she stick by unions?

I am not pissed, I am heartbroken now.

Ok, so some of you know about the ongoing strife between me and my dad and stepmom. http://www.democraticunderground.com/113743559 My dad texted me tonight that I owe them an apology, that I attacked my stepmom, well all that may be true, but she is the one who called our house and told my partner of 20 years that I needed help. Mental help. I was angry, YES ANGRY! And didn't handle it the right way, but I do not need anyone calling Kat and telling her that I need help.

So I text to my dad, "Daddy, I love you with all my heart. But you drove a knife through our hearts when you chose to join a church that wants to kill us. That is no exaggeration. Look it up." http://www.religionnews.com/2014/04/28/conservative-anglican-leaders-back-uganda-anti-gay-law/

His "loving and oh so Christian" response?

"You know nothing about ANGLICAN theology so get informed from a knowlegible (sic) source call me if you want to know the truth otherwise remain ignorant further your liberal democrats kill babies"

Hmm, I responded that yes, I am pro choice and apparently so was his wife. she once told me that I was unwanted and could have been an abortion. This from a so called christian. Aren't they just lovely people? Is it any wonder I have survived into my adulthood even half way sane? There are so many of these kind of people in today's christian right. It is really sad. He is an old sick man. This is really a sad situation, but his true colors are just shining through. What would his Jesus do? Well, I guess republican Jesus would do this, but the Jesus I learned about wouldn't.
