This is my very first diary entry in DKos. I have posted comments for several months but never had the cojones to post a diary. It's all so intimidating for me that I meekly relegated myself to just reading the diaries and adding some comments to those I enjoyed reading (I am a big fan of Al Rodgers!). But today something happened that has made me come out of my little shell. And that thing is none other than Newt Gingrich.
I'm a proud progressive. I believe in equal marriage rights for our GLBT friends (stop the H8!!!!). The Iraq war was, in my eyes, the biggest mistake our country has ever made. I recycle, I walk to my job so I don't have to drive. I believe strongly that a woman has the right to choose. I drink my soy lattes, munch on salads with argula. I was an 8 year old child sitting in front on my parents tv watching the vice-presidential debate between Lloyd Bentson and Dan "Mr. PotatoE Head" Quayle and cheering on as Lloyd ripped a new one to the pretty boy ("Senator, you're no Jack Kennedy"). I got married last year to my handsome husband who is from Sweden. Yes, that Sweden. The land of free education, healthcare and the best looking women I have seen in my life. I'm straight but damn.....
And besides being progressive, I am also hispanic. So when the news came out that Sonia (not Maria, Mike Huckabee, you stupid moron) Sotomayor is President Obama's pick for Supreme Court Justice, I was happy. Sonia Sotomayor is someone I would like my daughter (when I do have one) to look up to. Much like my favorite first lady of all time: Michelle Obama. They are intelligent, strong and graceful women. I knew days beforehand leading up to the president's announcement that the GOPasaurs were going to attack the potential nominee. It didn't matter who he nominated. Obama could have nominated Jesus Christ and they still would find fault with him. So since the announcement came out yesterday, I have heard all sort of things. Karl "I dropped out of college" Rove questions her intelligence. WHAT? Are you serious??? Sonia Sotomayor graduated WITH HONORS from Princeton and Yale and he's question how smart she is??? Seriously??!! John Yoo said that the president chose empathy over intelligence. Really? I refuse to believe anything that comes out of this man's mouth. But what got to me the most and made me come out of my DKos hiding place was none other than Newt Gingrich. He tweeted in none other than Auschwitz that "Latina woman racist should withdraw"
Excuse me?
So to this I have to say: Newt, STFU!!!!!!!!!!!!! You need to dig a hole and lie in it. You are irrelevant! This country doesn't need you! You're nothing but a sack of shit. You all lost!! The days of republicans ruining the US are long over. You want a racist then take a long hard look in the mirror. And your GOP talking points have NO place in Auschwitz!! How dare you! You really have no class, don't you? I always knew it but this just verifies it. You're pathetic. And I hate everything you stand for. Go away and take Dick Cheney and Karl Rove with you while you're at it. I can't stand them either.
Rant over. Sorry if this diary is small. Hugs and kisses for everyone! Peace.
