Today one of the lead stories on Politico (a Washington, DC, newspaper) is about the White House removing a petition on the "We the People" section of their website that calls for pop star Beyoncé — President Obama's close friend — to be "disinvited" from singing the National Anthem at next week's inauguration.
| "Given that just about any silly petition can make a cameo on the White House's website, it takes someone special to get one removed. Beyoncé is that kind of special." |
After spending the past few weeks advocating for the removal of the petition calling for the Catholic Church to be declared a hate group and being ignored by the White House, this is a slap in the face to every single person of faith in this country. How is a petition calling the Catholic Church a hate group "silly" and one demanding someone other than Beyoncé sing at the inauguration not?
