So they are brigning it up again.
Yeah the GOP is back on the fag bigotry as a platform motivator.
Lets pull out this dead horse we refused to beat for the last 6 years and wave it in all the right wingers faces so they will get off their asses this november. We have no interest at all in actually stopping gay marriage, we just love having such a huge carrot to dangle!
I don't care what your bible says dude. Your bible does not, should not, and hopefully never will BE IN CONTROL OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
It is as simple as that. One religion cannot dominate the government for it's interests without opening the door for ANY religion that comes into the majority to be able to do the same. In that model we are no different than the thinly masked theocratic dictatorships we are helping "liberate" in the middle east.
And if I wanted to live in Bhagdad that badly I would just sign up with the Army infantry as an APC crewman.
The other thing I want to point out is that all these national level speakers from churches and even congress and state legislatures are standing up and saying to the world, "Jesus says it is ok for me to be a biggot based on who you have sex with."
I think they are spending way too much time worrying about who everyone else is having sex with. I'm a conservative, and I aint "gettin any" and I don't spend all day talking about who is and who it is they are getting it from.
It's none of my business. And it is none of theirs either. There just isn't anyone who will stand up on a national podium and say "It is not very christian like to stand around all day gossiping about other peoples sex lives, in this way it seems very much like you must be coveting that which you condemn."
And if someone does stand up and make a statement it is some moron like Alek Baldwin who just seems to be a Nazi in liberal casual wear. "Lets chop their heads off" That doesn't sound very progressive Alek. That sounds despotic.
Bill Maher is a good representative of the liberal side of the street. A little too militant and unwilling to admit that their are any good attributes to conservatism but all in all he comes across as an honest well meaning person who's ideas are firmly gorunded in common sense, the tradition of compassion as a nation, and honesty.
But because he is a liberal all of those "versions" of his ideas are doomed to turn you into a homosexual communist baby eater.
Sheesh. And why doesn't anyone listen to Scarborough either??? He is a reasonable guy as well. Again, honesty, common sense and the tradition of america as a compassionate nation.
LOST on most people because he doesn't make crazy over the top histeria like O'Reilly.
It's pathetic. We are allowing so much more showmanship from our social comentators that the only commentary we get is rediculously sided and is nothing more than bitterly sarcastic satyre of the mostly middle of the road reality we all live every day. If this Country was so bitterly partisan, like so many commentators are we couldn't function on a daily basis. We would all fight to the death as soon as we stepped in the office every morning.
The only bitterly partisan people I know of are politicians and commentators whose job it is to sit around and act like "the other side" is to destroy "our" way of life. When all they are really doing is SELF GENERATING A FRICTION TO KEEP US ALL COWED AND CONFUSED ABOUT WHAT IS BEING DONE VERSUS WHAT COULD BE DONE AND SHOULD BE DONE.
It's like Morpheus told Neo it is "the world that has been pulled over our eyes to blind us to the truth".
They keep pulling the world over our eyes knowing that there is just too much information for us to really process it all.
They just want us to focus on the sound bites they provide so we don't have to bother ourselves with anything else.
And we just keep falling for it.
