I often like to hear what Barney has to say, and I agree with him. I am not so sure the Democratic Party is who should be hit because thus far, I have yet to see change I can believe in.
ReplyDeleteSo far, I have seen rhetoric worthy of the Bush Department of Justice, and little to no talk from the White House. Instead, there is a fairly worthless announcement this morning that offers little to LGBT other than a pat on the head. I gave money during the campaign. When a candidate does something beyond mentioning me in a campaign speech, perhaps I will believe again.
