It would explain everything. Actually, after thinking about all of things people have done in his name, this might give me a lot more respect for the old bastard.

Should we no longer take care of Africa?
The amount of money we pour into Africa which reaps no benefits for us is so pointless. We might as well let them destroy their own societies because we’re just prolonging their worthless existence.

Apparently there is no such thing as "mother" and "father" now
The Iowa Department of Public Health may replace ‘father’ and ‘mother’ labels with ‘parent’ on Iowa birth certificates following an Iowa Supreme Court ruling Friday requiring the department to list both lesbian spouses on a child’s birth certificate.
“The Department of Public Health appreciates the definitive direction from the Supreme Court,” wrote public health spokeswoman Polly Carver-Kimm in an email to The Gazette. “We will have to train hospital staff and change our birth worksheets as we currently have the labels of ‘mother’ and ‘father’ in the electronic system. These may have to be changed to say ‘parent’.”
The Supreme Court affirmed a district court ruling that both spouses in a lesbian marriage should be listed on a child’s birth certificate. The court ordered the state health department to reissue a birth certificate Heather and Melissa Gartner, of Des Moines, for their daughter Mackenzie, born in September 2009.
The department previously refused to list Melissa Gartner, 42, the nonbirthing parent, on the birth certificate.
“All I know is that we won,” Heather Gartner, 41, said Friday morning after dropping off her children Zachary, 6, and Mackenzie, 3, at school and daycare.
Guided by its 2009 ruling in Varnum vs. Brien that legalized same-sex marriage, the Supreme Court wrote in the Gartner case that Iowa laws must “recognize that married lesbian couples who have children enjoy the same benefits and burdens as married opposite-sex couples who have children.”
“By naming the nonbirthing spouse on the birth certificate of a married lesbian couple’s child, the child is ensured supported from that parent and that parents establishes fundamental rights at the moment of birth,” the 29-page ruling states.
Among those rights is a parent’s right to allow medical procedures for a child, Heather Gartner said. When Mackenzie was hospitalized as a baby because of a respiratory issue, Heather stayed with her the entire time in case the hospital needed parental permission for treatment.
“That gets scary,” she said. “You don’t want to take a chance.”
There are other occasions, such as enrolling a child in school or filing taxes, when legal parentage is required, Heather said.
Melissa and Heather got married June 13, 2009, after being together since 2003. Heather was pregnant at the time through an anonymous sperm donor — the same man who supplied sperm for the couple’s son. Heather gave birth to Mackenzie on Sept. 19, 2009.
Do you agree or disagree with the ruling?
