Vegas ads, betting on gay
tourists, mock straights

Investor´s Business Daily, by Andrew Malcolm

Original Article

Posted By:SurferLad, 1/28/2013 9:11:16 AM

If you feel uncomfortable, declasse and stared-at during your next trip to Las Vegas, blame it on the gambling mecca´s new ads bidding for the nation´s lucrative gay tourism market. Each one of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority´s new pictorials features a tag line: "Everyone´s WELCOME Even straight people." And, BTW, guess who´s dropping into Sin City tomorrow? The president himself on a quick 4,200-mile day-trip aboard Air Force One. At $182,000 per flight hour that makes for a $1.5 million minimum photo op to plug his immigration reform ideas.

That´s the ticket, insult and offend the majority of Americans to get the Gay business, all 3% of them.

The president is going to Las Vegas.

Vegas is Bransen with hookers.

Hasbeens are US.

....and the stench of Harry Reid.

advertising solely to gays is always a sign of desperation (see JC Penney). I quess vegas is doing poorly

Safe to say I´ll never set foot in Vegas again. And maybe NV.

Wonder if the gay welcome signs will go down after Obama and his entourage leave.

In the rush to embrace "multiculturalism" and "alternative lifestyles" there must be a "culture" to become the enemy, and the reason why all this has been held back, and that is Judeo-Christianity.

Satan is all FOR destroying this country from within through moral decay and degeneracy. He is doing everything he can during the reign of Obama the Malignant before the people rise up to reclaim the American ideal.

Stand and be counted for Christian principles today, before you´re hauled off to the re-education camp tomorrow.

I gave up on Vegas a long time ago. They only appeal to the most baser instincts of people and those have been going down hill ever since Vegas opened it´s doors.

Not well thought-out. The current group of tourists barely tolerate what is already there now (I have spoken to many that say they will never go again). While walking through Vegas while holding my wife´s hand and with my little girl riding on my shoulders, I was constantly approached by idiots trying to hand me cards advertising houses of prostitution. The ground was so covered with these cards that you could not look at your feet to climb stairs without being subjected to filth (which was one of the reasons I had my little girl riding on my shoulders). If Vegas becomes the gay-cation capital, no one from the west will go there. They will also lose all the little old blue-haired ladies that sit at the slot machines for eight hours at a stretch.

I think the gay population is closer to 1%. They cause disruption far out of proportion to their numbers.


Reply 12 - Posted by: killerbee, 1/28/2013 10:09:30 AM     (No. 9143877)

I stay away from Vegas because 1. it´s boring and 2. the cops are outrageously corrupt and dangerous.

There are more reasons to stay away, but those first two are enough.

I decided I wouldn´t go back to Vegas until Nevada got rid of Reid. Now I have another reason not to go back. I know gays have a lot of money but do they really have the numbers to keep Vegas going?


Reply 14 - Posted by: caddyjak, 1/28/2013 10:16:36 AM     (No. 9143900)

First of all, any new immigration ideas are not Obama´s. He never had a worth while idea in his life. All his "radical" ideas come from the 35 mystery czars. They create, they write and he reads whatever is put in front of him.
Regarding the gay issue, Ambassador Stevens was a close friend of the president and quite gay. Think what you will.


Reply 15 - Posted by: Hotrod, 1/28/2013 10:51:30 AM     (No. 9144015)

Las Vegas is exactly the right place for gays. They all should consider moving there.


Reply 16 - Posted by: Razorgirl, 1/28/2013 10:53:14 AM     (No. 9144022)

OK PBR. It´s time to move your Finals somewhere else, unless you intend to go Brokeback Mountain on us.

I´ve kept my boycott of Vegas for over two years now. Nothing current makes me think I will lift that boycott anytime soon.

between the annual schmooze fest called "The NAB Convention" and working at various TV stations there I have to endure "lost wages" a few times a year. As someone who doesn´t gamble or solicit "adult" fare - the few shows I´d like to see are either dark when I have the time or so over priced as to be quite the luxury - there is very little to do in that town and now I don´t even want to think about "what´s New in Vegas"

This ought to impress the Asian high rollers who fly in with money to burn from the Far East.

Barack Obama´s long history
of scandals--and escapes
Investor´s Business Daily, by Andrew Malcolm    Original Article
Posted By: SurferLad- 5/22/2013 9:26:33 AM     Post Reply
The standard rule for handling bad news in politics is to get it all out at once. Take your hits for a news cycle, two or three. And then try to move on. The worst thing to do is allow the bad news to dribble out, poison drop by poison drop, for days, weeks, even months. Yet that is precisely what Barack Obama has done -- and continues to do in his current epidemic of embarrassments -- over a decade of controversies and scandals. The amazing thing is, so far, it´s worked like a charm. So, why should he change?

Graduation ceremonies are good times for families and their offspring, which makes them good times for politicians to be around and associate themselves with happiness. President Obama gives four commencement speeches per year--at one public and one private university, one historically black school and one service academy. Just before his epidemic of scandals broke, Obama critiqued the many faults of America and told Ohio State graduates to dismiss cynical talk about over-reaching government and fear of tyranny. Technically, first ladies are not politicians. Most are dutiful if often reluctant campaigners. But Michelle Obama is a glaring exception.

Conan: A Chinese man may have to pay $26 million for secretly fathering seven children. Wow, I didn’t even know that China had an NBA. Conan: A Catholic bishop from Massachusetts was arrested for drunk driving. He told the cop, “I’m a bishop, I’m supposed to move diagonally.” Leno: According to the U.S. Geological Survey there are 7.4 billion barrels of oil in North Dakota.

New research finds stronger

Finally, scientific confirmation of what so many have suspected all along: The strongest of men in varied societies around the world are much more likely to hold conservative political views. Probably much smarter too. While weaker guys, regardless of wealth, are more liberal, into handouts and wealth redistribution because, well, they don´t have the strength to get it and keep it themselves. The reassuring results come from a new study by researchers at Denmark´s Aarhus University.

Hi, I’m Congressman Andy Harris, and this is the Red Tape Tower. 20,000 pages high and seven feet tall, it encompasses all of the regulations already associated with President Obama’s health care law. The red tape, the taxes, the mandates, the tricks, the traps, the fine print … it’s all here. Now: just think about the fact that it’s the IRS that will be responsible for enforcing many of these regulations. If we’ve learned anything this week, it’s that the IRS needs less power.

Hi, everybody. Over the past few months, I’ve laid out a series of commonsense ideas to reignite the true engine of our economic growth: a rising, thriving middle class. The way I see it, there are three areas where we need to focus. One: making America a magnet for good jobs. Two: making sure our workers have the education and skills they need to do those jobs. And three: making sure your hard work leads to a decent living. I’ve also been visiting cities across the country that are doing some interesting and creative things along these lines.

Another awkward day in the unraveling presidency of Barack Obama. Beset by a trio of profound scandals, the Democrat planned Thursday´s message on foreign affairs through a joint news conference with Turkey´s Prime Minister Erdogan, a NATO ally. Unfortunately, Obama´s advance staff was apparently too busy preparing his next campaign stops to check the Washington weather forecast. It set up the news conference outdoors in the Rose Garden. Wouldn´t you know given POTUS´ recent luck, it began raining heavily. Obama [Snip] ordered two U.S. Marines to come hold umbrellas over the leaders´ heads while standing at attention.

Former Rep. Anthony Weiner, whose career in public life came to an abrupt end when he sent lewd pictures to a college student on Twitter, jumped back into politics on Wednesday by announcing a bid for mayor of New York City. “Look, I’ve made some big mistakes and I know I’ve let a lot of people down,” the Democrat said in a 2-minute video announcing his bid. “But I’ve also learned some tough lessons. I’m running for mayor because I’ve been fighting for the middle class and those struggling to make it for my entire life.

The dam protecting the IRS scandal began to crack today when Lois Lerner, the IRS official who announced, and apologized for, the improper singling out of conservative-leaning organizations by IRS employees under her command, announced through her criminal defense lawyer that she will not testify as scheduled tomorrow before the House Oversight Committee. Rather, she will assert her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. This marks an enormous milestone in the IRS investigation. It can now be taken as more or less established that crimes were committed by Obama administration employees. Lerner’s lawyer tried to minimize the significance

WASHINGTON – A top IRS official in the division that reviews nonprofit groups will invoke the Fifth Amendment and refuse to answer questions before a House committee investigating the agency’s improper screening of conservative nonprofit groups. Lois Lerner, the head of the exempt organizations division of the IRS, won’t answer questions about what she knew about the improper screening – or why she didn’t reveal it to Congress, according to a letter from her defense lawyer, William W. Taylor 3rd. Lerner was scheduled to appear before the House Oversight committee Wednesday.

House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa said embattled IRS official Lois Lerner waived her Fifth Amendment rights and will be hauled back to appear before his panel again. The California Republican said Lerner’s Fifth Amendment right to avoid self-incrimination was voided when she gave an opening statement this morning denying any wrongdoing and professing pride in her government service. “When I asked her her questions from the very beginning, I did so so she could assert her rights prior to any statement,” Issa told POLITICO. “She chose not to do so — so she waived.”

Former Democratic National committee chairman Howard Dean considers the controversy over Benghazi a “joke” and “silly.” “Benghazi is a laughable joke,” Dean proclaimed twice in a discussion with Republican National Committee communications chairman Sean Spicer last week. “With all due respect, governor, when four Americans die serving this country, that’s not a joke, sir,” Spicer responded. “Oh, stop it,” said Dean. The former Democratic presidential candidate also said that there were “no serious questions being asked about Benghazi” and brushed it off as an effort by Republicans to score political points.

There’s really no reason for the press to suggest that the recent slew of scandals involving the Obama administration — Benghazi, the AP phone-record seizure, the snooping in James Rosen’s e-mail, the IRS’s targeting of conservative groups, and so on — are a confusing jumble. There is a very clear thread running through all of the administration’s actions: The U.S. deputy chief of mission in Libya, Gregory Hicks, says that he was told not to speak to a member of Congress about Benghazi without a State Department lawyer present, that he received a phone call from Hillary Clinton’s
