In reply to the discussion: Obama's gay marriage move has no impact on policies: Still Hasn't Signed Anti-Discrimination Order [View all]ProSense

the source is the Weekly fucking Standard?
The Weekly Standard is an American neoconservative[2][3][4][5] opinion magazine[6] published 48 times per year. Its founding publisher, News Corporation, debuted the title September 18, 1995. Currently edited by founder William Kristol and Fred Barnes, the Standard has been described as a "redoubt of neoconservatism" and as "the neo-con bible".[7][8] Since it was founded in 1995, the Weekly Standard has never been profitable, and has remained in business through subsidies from wealthy conservative benefactors such as former owner Rupert Murdoch.[9] Many of the magazine's articles are written by members of conservative think tanks located in Washington, D.C.: the American Enterprise Institute, the Ethics and Public Policy Center, the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, and the Hudson Institute. Some individuals that have written for the magazine include Elliott Abrams, Peter Berkowitz, John R. Bolton, Ellen Bork, Ed Gillespie, Roger Kimball, Harvey Mansfield, Joe Queenan, Wesley J. Smith, David Brooks and John Yoo. The magazine's website blog, titled the "Daily Standard", is edited by John McCormack and Daniel Halper and produces daily articles and commentary.

Nothing like a so-called progressive supporter of the necon standard bearer.
Proud?
You're no progressive. After condescendingly belittling others as somehow less progressive, now this?
Good riddance!

OP
Why do you think that? Do you also think an Executive Order banning discrimination is unimportant?

They are not pretending that they are, they are accusing Obama of not being "liberal enough."
