And The Upshot beams with pride<\/a>. Apparently Michele Bachmann was confronted by a sincere and devoted proponent of gay rights at a\u00a0book signing event the other day.\u00a0 This well read and deeply committed activist walked right up to Ms. Bachmann and clearly stated his case: My mommy\u2019s gay, but she doesn\u2019t need fixing!<\/p>\n

It may seem a bit shallow, but hey!\u00a0 This is an eight year old after all.\u00a0 Give him a break. No doubt he had come up with this stance all on his own.\u00a0 After all, we religious people know how wrong it is to indoctrinate our kids, so I\u2019m sure the good mother(s)?\u00a0 in question have been very open about presenting all the facts on the issue from all sides to our young master Elijah. And that\u2019s good.\u00a0 Remember, liberalism is all about opening your mind and being willing to question everything.<\/p>\n

Update:<\/strong>\u00a0 On the upside, it looks like several readers are not joining in on the celebrations of this bold, freethinking eight year old.\u00a0 Most are saying it gives them the creeps that this kid, at the tender age of eight, is so in tune with his mother\u2019s sexual preferences.\u00a0 The MSM, of course, continues to gush in love and adoration.\u00a0 One headline read \u2018Eight year old leaves Bachmann speechless.\u2019\u00a0 Yeah, since the kid basically walked up, said his speech, and then walked away.\u00a0 I suppose Bachmann could have jumped over the table and tackled the boy and made him listen.\u00a0 But it\u00a0pretty much was a hit job, lovingly placed in the hands of a child in order to advance what is most important in our post-modern world.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
