Zeke Krahlin <ezekielk@goct.net> quotes his letter:

> President Obama: 

He isn't the president yet, however much you BDS-afflicted
"progressives" may wish otherwise.


> I am a gay activist and progressive, and voted for you. 
> In good faith of course, that you would begin the

Welcome to the Marketplace Of Ideas.  Paper or plastic?

Like what, for instance?

Oh, come on.  "Milady" doth protest too much.

I love it when liberal causes collide.  I haven't laughed
this hard since militant blind people complained about
Priuses being too quiet.

I rather doubt that very many who voted for the Obamessiah 
are truly antigay ("homophobic").

They naturally go together, of course.  

*snort*

Typical liberal: try to win someone over by insulting him.


> And, my enemy.

Hoo-wee!  Time to make some popcorn; the schism cometh!
