Not trying to start a political discussion but since Adam tweeted about the RNC and because the use of Queen music there has been an issue, I wanted to pass on some amazing and good news. Peter Thiel, PayPal co-founder, Facebook boardmember, hedge fund/investment manager, and openly gay LGBT advocate is speaking in prime time, on the prime night, about how the Republic Party should support LGBT rights. He is only the second openly gay person to speak at a Republican convention, and the first person to address this issue. (The first openly gay personal to speak at the RNC was Rep. Jim Kolbe from Arizona who did not mention being gay.) He said he was proud to be gay -- and he got a standing ovation and cheers. Positive change is possible.ETA: He also said, "fake culture wars distract us from us from our economic decline." I saw that too, Q3. Very encouraging to see. Being a White billionaire covers lots of sins. Going with nope on positve change here.

I can't reconcile the anti-union themes versus helping veterans. My son is finally on his financial feet after being called up to active duty and deployed to Kuwait. He got into the union last December on a helmets to hardhats program. Even though he's an apprentice in the system, he now has decent pay, and health benefits and pension benefits. Is no one thinking this through before creating a platform against unions? Sorry for the political rant, but there may not be a lot of you all with children who did go to serve and who have had the same experience. I am glad things are working out for your son and thankfully many organizations including unions have great programs to help veterans transition back into the workforce. Let's not expand this into a discussion of the full Republican platform -- I only mentioned Peter Theil because it was an historic moment for the LGBTQ community. **** After HeWhoCannot amed mentioned the LGBTQ community -- LGBTQ was the #1 search term on Google -- up 15,000%. It ended the night as the number 1 Google search of the night. Perhaps a lot of RNC viewers never heard the term?

Does he not understand the words? Then, "all right now" and isn't it about a one night? and of course Born in the U.S.A.
