Yesterday we also gave you more on the radical Imam's background. (Hour 2's broadcast where we peeled back the layers on the Imam's past.)

Since most of this information has been exceedingly easy to track down, I have been shocked that Democrats are not coming forward in huge numbers to distance themselves from the terror supporting fascist that had "blessed" their meetings.

I guess I was really barking up the wrong tree... Democrats aren't distancing themselves from the terror supporting Imam... NO... Instead they are embracing and endorsing what he said.

From last night's H&C (h/t: HotAir):

Use filters, keep the computer in a public place - and stay engaged!

Is he a stooge for the Merck Pharmecutical company? Does he despise his conservative base? Does he have a political death wish?

On Friday (no doubt to try to bury it in the news cycle) Perry signed an EXECUTIVE ORDER mandating that all incoming 6th grade girls, beginning in September 2008, would be forced to receive the HPV vaccine.

No consulting with their parents, no consulting with their pastor, or even doctors.

Legislators are upset:

"I think a lot of us were leaning towards having this available to young women and consulting with their parents and their physicians. I don't think many of us were leaning towards an outright mandate," says Rep. Isett.

Rep. Isett and other legislators are drafting a letter to Governor Perry addressing their concerns. They hope to send it in the next few days.

As are parents:

The main concern parents have is that the vaccine will promote sexual promiscuity. But in a statement released Monday Perry says, "Providing the HPV vaccine doesn't promote sexual promiscuity anymore than providing the Hepatitis B vaccine promotes drug use. If the medical community developed a vaccine for lung cancer, would the same critics oppose it claiming it would encourage smoking?"

Still many critics say he's walking a fine line edging on invading parental rights. NewsChannel 11 talked with a number of parents Monday as well as Representative Carl Isett of Lubbock to see where they stand on this issue

"I think every parent should have the right to decide what's best for their children," says Alice Escobebo, a concerned parent.

I am a proud son of the Lone Star State, but I am embarrassed by the unbelievable gaffe Governor Perry is making... and that by example he will be encouraging other state's to make in the near term. For example... The Newark Star Ledger has not run a story on anything to do with Texas politics in ages, yet today saw fit to highlight the Perry decision, and advocate for as much to happen in New Jersey as well.

It is a poor decision by Perry on a purely constitutional level, but it is an enormously idiotic move as it plays to his base.

Check Perry's deposit slips... if Merck surfaces all will be explained.

Actually the Dallas Morning News was reading my mind...

“For many years, social conservatives have claimed that marriage exists solely for the purpose of procreation ... The time has come for these conservatives to be dosed with their own medicine," said WA-DOMA organizer Gregory Gadow in a printed statement. “If same-sex couples should be barred from marriage because they can not have children together, it follows that all couples who cannot or will not have children together should equally be barred from marriage."

And is sure looks like Gadow has his/hers/its work cut out for them...

Supporters must gather more than 224,000 valid signatures by July 6 to put the initiative on the November ballot.

Signatures to date: 1(his own)

And so the mentality of the mentally-ill-radical-gay-mafia amongst us finally reveals its ugly head.

"Unless you legally license my sexual behavior in the bedroom and label it the moral equivalent of the marriage bed... we will try to destroy marriage - by any means possible."

Michelle Malkin highlights some additional info about the Imam that the Democrats had lead their invocation last week. The prayer was a prayer of conversion. But here's more about the Imam himself...

Debbie Schlussel in today's NYPost: (h/t: Malkin)

Al-Husainy's words before the Democrats - asking God to "help us stop . . . occupation and oppression" - were jarring enough, since he was likely referring to either American soldiers in Iraq or Jews in Israel.

But his past statements and activity make those words even more ominous.

Al-Husainy heads the Karbalaa Islamic Education Center mosque in Dearborn, Mich., one of the largest Shiite mosques in North America. He is an open admirer of the late Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini - under whose rule Americans were held hostage for 444 days.

During last summer's Israel-Hezbollah war, al-Husainy led rallies in Dearborn in support of the Lebanese terrorist group. Protesters displayed swastikas as well as anti-American and anti-Semitic posters.

I attended one rally, at Dearborn's Bint Jebail Cultural Center - named for the stronghold in south Lebanon from which Hezbollah rockets rained on Israel. Al-Husainy was among several who delivered hate-filled, anti-American rhetoric. He cheered as others called for the hastened destruction of the Jews.

Nice catch these Democrats snagged...
