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.

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.

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?

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.

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

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"

It´s a good thing this column is available online, so that residents of Memphis, New Orleans and Riverside, California can learn how unsafe their city is without having to venture outside. Those are the bottom three metropolitan areas where residents said they felt least safe walking alone at night in their neighborhood. From the safety of their little work cubicles somewhere, the number gnomes over at the Gallup organization have been accumulating data on perceived human well-being as part of their polling calls on many subjects. From that data comes the 50 most and least safe cities.

Hi, everybody. Our top priority as a nation, and my top priority as President, must be doing everything we can to reignite the engine of America’s growth: a rising, thriving middle class. That’s our North Star. That must drive every decision we make. Now, yesterday, we learned that our businesses created 95,000 new jobs last month. That’s about 500,000 new jobs this year, and nearly 6.5 million new jobs over the past three years. But we’ve got more work to do.

In a swift and strange reversal, Obama administration officials Thursday rushed to play down their own recent announcements of defensive U.S. military movements in response to threats and provocations from North Korea. The hereditary Communist dictatorship of the Kim family that took over the North after World War II has always been quirky, unpredictable and, well, mentally unbalanced by any modern governing standards. The country would be cinematically comical and worthy of a Peter Sellers role were the rogue regime not actively developing nuclear weapons and long-distance missiles to deliver or orbit them.

Republican Sen. Ted Cruz has called for the complete legislative repeal of ObamaCare and its replacement by comprehensive healthcare reforms that actually increase patient choice, decrease the role of government bureaucrats and disconnect health insurance from employment. "If you lose your job," Cruz said, "you don´t lose your house, life or car insurance. They go with you wherever you go." It should be the same for health insurance. In a wide-ranging exclusive interview with IBD´s weekly M&M podcast, the Texas freshman said, "Our first priority is repealing ObamaCare and repealing it in its entirety.”

Remember how since-demoted House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said we´d have to pass the massive ObamaCare health law to find out what´s in it? Well, now three years later that´s happening and a lot of people are not liking what they see. Remember how ObamaCare was going to save you money? Not going to happen. Premiums are going up, some by as much as 100%. And a new study by the nonpartisan Society of Actuaries finds that on average insurers will have to pay 32% more for claims under ObamaCare.

Like many holidays, Easter is often associated with family memories. For me, Easter is associated with the memory of other families. It was 1975 just before Easter. The Vietnam war was ending ignominiously, with President Ford promising full American support right up through the time we left thousands of South Vietnamese sympathizers behind to confront new Communist rulers. Or risk death at sea as desperate boat people. Thanks to a tip from intelligence sources that the end of South Vietnam was near, my news employer had arranged to evacuate its two local Vietnamese interpreters and their extended families to Guam.

North Korea’s young leader Kim Jong-un is waiting for United States President Barack Obama to make a phone call to Pyongyang to discuss easing tensions on the Korean peninsula, according to Russia’s news agency Itar-Tass. The report cited United Kingdom diplomats, saying Pyongyang was demanding the U.S. president personally call Kim Jong-un as one of the conditions to relieve the current conflict at hand. Itar-Tass also quoted the U.K.’s Sky News as saying North Korea currently has eight nuclear warheads.

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Los Angeles — Some people have had it with TV. They´ve had enough of the 100-plus channel universe. They don´t like timing their lives around network show schedules. They´re tired of $100-plus monthly bills. A growing number of them have stopped paying for cable and satellite TV service, and don´t even use an antenna to get free signals over the air.

Amid all of the very real threats of war and stuff from North Korea, you´d think American intelligence officers want as much video footage of the enemy as possible. Well, here is one video featuring North Korean exercises and Kim Jong-Un holding a gun, and we´ll say this: they certainly get points for presentation.
