Ellen DeGeneres Hosts Little Redhead Who Says He Wants Obama to Win Because Gay Marriage Is 'Right'

Funny things that little kids say is one part of the mix of the Ellen DeGeneres show. On Thursday, she brought on young Rainer Muuss and his even younger brother Atticus to discuss presidential history. Rainer knows more about presidents than your usual kindergartner. Atticus was just on to be cute. He really loves President Martin Van Buren -- for the sideburns.

But Ellen's favorite part was undoubtedly young Rainer expressing his hope that Barack Obama wins re-election because Obama "said that men and men can marry each other and woman and woman can marry each other and I think that’s right." Thunderous applause and approval from DeGeneres followed. "I really like you," she said to laughs:  (video and transcript below)

DeGENERES: What’s going on in this election year?

RAINER: Well, Barack Obama’s – I think Barack Obama should win. (Pause, then whooping applause)

DeGENERES: People agree with you there. Instead of Mitt Romney? And why do you say that?

RAINER: Because – um, ah – well, Barack Obama said that men and men can marry each other and woman and woman can marry each other and I think that’s right. (Whooping applause)

DeGENERES: I really like you. (Laughter)

Rainer and Atticus are liberally raised by their literary parents Matt Pasca and Terri Muuss. (The little fact they use their mother's surname signals the feminism.) Muuss is a survivor of incest and travels with her own stage show called "Anatomy of a Doll." She touts herself as "an actor, poet, teacher, director, and social worker." Rainer's recitation of liberal mantras also came out in this section:

DeGENERES: Who is your favorite president, Rainer?

RAINER: My favorite president is John F. Kennedy because he gave people hope.

DeGENERES: Yes, he did.

Atticus touting Van Buren makes the whole show much more enjoyable. A social-media wave checking out Van Buren followed.

I remember a while ago talking about how the Libs were only a couple of steps away from waving doe-eyed puppies in front of the camera while they shilled for Obamacare, soaking the rich, climate change legislation, or whatever their current flavor of the month crusade was.

Well, it's not puppies, but it's close enough.

How desperate are libs that they bring out 5-year-olds to parrot what their parents teach them to say?

And what was Rainer's opinion on Obamacare? The Middle East? Keynesian economics? Oh, I'm sorry, they cover that first grade.

My 5-year-old grandson can name all 44 presidents, in order.  That doesn't mean I'm going to him for an opinion on World War I or the Great Depression.

Hey, kids

Submitted by Tugboat Phil on Mon, 05/28/2012 - 9:11pm.

If you think the homosexual lobby only wants same sex, get ready for something REALLY "right." You and animals are next when they legally redefine the words, "consenting" and "adult." It may not happen in time for you two to find out what man-on-man love is like, but maybe your kids will know that "love."

And shows like Ellen, Today, Okrah and such are just the way it will happen. We'll see the exceptions of society portrayed in a fuzzy-lensed, psycho-babble, honey-dripping light. Finally there will be several kids and their NAMBLA "friends" and a few cute animals on a show to prove just how "right" it is for the new consenting adults to be able to practice their "love".

President Obama is a Muslim (from his own lips), Kenyan (read it from his publicist) a homosexual (read it on a news magazine cover) and a Socialist (I'm alive and can see it for myself)

Yep, we always get the "well kids and animals can't consent". They'll just keep lowering the age of consent for kids. And I still believe homosexuality is a psychological disorder.

Kids can get abortions, which means kids can have sex, so why cant kids have sex with adults of the same gender? It really is not that far of a stretch and it will be on the agenda sooner or later.

That's right. Use kids to spread your propaganda. If Ear Leader wins another term, don't be surprised to see an Obama Youth Corps spring up. Of course, then they'll have to officially change the pronunciation to "corpse"

judgments and especially those that impact their own lives. That is one very simple reason why minors have no authority to enter into contracts, consent to sex, receive a license to practice a profession (in most jurisdictions) or to own significant financial or physical assets that require contractual arrangements.

The video of those two tells me that phraseology was rehearsed and drilled into them, precisely in the manner of false memories and other conditioning techniques. Children are highly susceptible to this kind of conditioning because they have no innate self-defenses borne except those which nature provided by instinct and not those built of emotional maturity. They were coached, and anyone who thinks those answers were spontaneous probably would be interested in purchasing that bridge connecting Lower Manhattan with Brooklyn.

Reminds Me

Submitted by truemidwest on Mon, 05/28/2012 - 9:44pm.

of that CBS so-called "reality" show a few years back,where they took kids off supposedly with no "adults" around and let them set up a "society" by themselves,then had the phoney "interviews" with the individual contestants,ala "Survivor" and its ilk. The way the kids aped adults in those segments,led me to nickname the show "Lord of the Flies-the Series".Don't remember what the actual name of the show was,and I don't really care...I thoroughly detest any and all reality shows! But anyhow,I digress...my point being that these kids on Ellen Degenreate's show are just as unauthentic as those on that CBS show!

Find out what they really want.

Submitted by GregE on Mon, 05/28/2012 - 10:19pm.

Scenario............Allow same-sex couples all privileges of every married couple - taxes, hospital visitation, etc etc. Every single thing...........except, don't call it marriage. Give it another name, but have that word be the ONLY thing that won't apply.

Many will say that's what they want. Many will say no, it can only be equal treatment if it's also called marriage.

So, aside from gay marriage, everyone wants equal treatment of men and women correct? Sounds noble. So we need to eliminate one of the words..........man, or woman. Everyone needs to be called one or the other.

Many states allow civil unions, which would give the same civil rights to gays. Now that they have that, it's not good enough. Now gays want marriage. Why? I think because they want to attack churches that refuse to marry them. It's another route to destroying religion and the family.

Good point.

Submitted by GregE on Mon, 05/28/2012 - 10:41pm.

You're right, many states do have civil unions already.

Marriage is historically a religious institution, not a government one. Government exists to protect the society and the direction is so chooses to move, not to shape society and set the direction shape them. Yet government is being used as the tool to shape and direct this issue. People act like all the government benefits of marriage are what defines marriage and makes it so.

You are right in that they want to attack churches that refuse to marry them, and if they can instead have government create laws to force the "right" they can cause more issues for churches. Though a church is not necessary for a marriage to legally happen. Even that fact isn't good enough.

When one really thinks about it, it's quite a militant push going on. Most people don't really think about it though.

I agree with Radical.

Submitted by motherbelt on Tue, 05/29/2012 - 6:46am.

I've said before that once they get gay "marriage" the next step will be trying to force Churches to perform them.

I'm not saying it's the ultimate aim of the Left in general, but this push by the gay community fits right in with their agenda to push religion out of the public square altogether.

When that happens, the state replaces God as the final authority; there is no "right and wrong," only "legal and illegal."

And once something is "legal,"  no one has a right to oppose it.

Think about how many times has the Left said "Abortion is legal. Get over it."

And isnt Ellen married to some woman already? So what's her beef?

There's no way a 5 year old comes out and says something like that -- he barely even knows what marriage is. And it was clear she fed him the question and he regurgitated the answer. He spoke like he was trying to recall something someone else said.

Very pathetic to use to little kids as campaign tools. These are sick people.
