From Catholic Exchange:
If the average Kenyan knew that their favourite son, Barack Obama, had declared June the Lesbian-Gay-Bisexual-Transgender Pride Month, they would simply not believe it. Nor would they believe that in his proclamation for Fathers’ Day, he’d said that nurturing families comes in many forms, including being raised by two “fathers” – even if neither of them is the true father.
To top it all, Hillary Clinton recently told “LGBT members of the State Department family” that gay rights are human rights and human rights are gay and that her first concern for Africa is how LGBT persons are treated on the continent. “Our regional bureaus are working closely with our embassies on this issue. The Bureau of African Affairs has taken the lead by asking every embassy in Africa to report on the conditions of local LGBT communities. And I’m asking every regional bureau to make this issue a priority. ”
This was greeted with thunderous applause in Foggy Bottom. But I wonder if she would dare to make this announcement in Nairobi…
Thought we were supposed to respect “the other”? Ah, who am I kidding? We know darn well that “multi-culturalism” only applies to kowtowing to foreigners who threaten to behead people. If you’re not a violent Islamist, then your culture and values are something to be ground down by the global left. Anyone want to take bets of whether or not Hillary will say that advancing gay rights is a priority in Saudi Arabia?
The hypocrisy of the left is only matched by its dishonesty. Lecturing us on consumption, they fly first class to swank resorts. Lecturing us on respecting foreigners who refuse to integrate in to our society, they then turn about and demand that foreigners toe the liberal line.
My view: I think I’ll let the Africans work it out for themselves. You know, having a deep and abiding respect for the people of that continent who have suffered so much and yet retained strong families, sustain a rapidly growing Christian culture and remain cheerful in the face of adversity Americans have never seen.
In fact, I see a time when we here in America might learn a bit from the Africans. I look forward to the redemption of a promise made by a Kenyan priest to my parish – that they are so overflowing with seminarians that we will soon have our shortage of religious orders filled by enthusiastic Africans. And maybe a few of them will be able to spare the time to instruct Hillary Clinton in how to respect other cultures.
