Dick Cheney believes gay people should be permitted to wed as long as the edict comes from the State, and not the Federal Level.
Well smell you, Prince Waterbuckets.
I mean, really. His political views are so irrelevent to the world right now, in my opinion, about the only thing they're good for is a chuckle. Kind of like when you dance on the box of a dead person, only in this case I'm making fun of the sound of his voice - er - instead of his quality of his pine.
It is true that Cheney has given the green light to his fellow Torturers and Torturessteresses to back off on the Gay Hate so long as voters have a chance to sign off on it. Which is a might like saying you approve releasing the slaves as long as the Plantation Owners have a voice in the matter. But I digress. Just having someone tell you their position on a particular political issue is one thing. But stick around for the pie-holulations and you'll see clues about something you can't see or hear in plain words: Motive.
As many of you know, one of my daughters is gay and it is something we have lived with for a long time in our family.
Kinda sounds like Dick just swallowed a big, slimy, wriggling grub after losing a bet, doesn't it? "Lived With", you transparent, fraudulant turd?
Not "celebrated", nor "embraced", nor even "struggled with" or "came to terms with." And "for a long time" too! Yeah we've just been counting the fucking days since Mary first let that out of Pandora's Unholy Box!
When you "live with" a particular issue it says two sides had an opposing view and you walked away agreeing never to have the argument again. When you "live with" drug addiction in the family, it says the noon-sleeper is still stealing the family's money for drugs but we're just pretending we must have forgotten where we put it. When you "live with" a father that beats the children and smacks the wife around it says you're so terrified of saying anything lest you get beaten again that you've settled on reading the ransom note to all your friends and family that he's written for you to read rather than ask for help. And when you "live with" a person in the family who's gay - it says you still can't stand thinking about it but the older she got the more clear it became that she was never going to Un-Gay. So we all just decided to stop poking at it.
That, my friends, is what some therapists might call family systems dysfunction (the symptoms being a. refusal of outside help, b. forbiddance of the discussion of problems or the expression of feelings, c. use of the children as adults to compensate for a parent's neglect, d. and erratic and unpredictable parenting.)
But more a layman's perspect, it just makes me want to take his daughter Mary and smack the living shit right out of her. This abusive pig basically just went before a crowded room and declared that he still can't stomach the thought of his lesbian daughter cozying up to another cooty-cat but some things probably won't change before someone splashes water on him and he dies into a melting puddle of republican mud - SO HE JUST LIVES WITH IT.
Fuck I hate this man.
Now hide rate me if I'm wrong but isn't this part of the reason that we keep running against this wall everytime we try to get a vote on this issue? It's because bigoted dads are asked what they think - when the whole problem all along has been what the bigoted dad thinks.
FUCK what Dick Cheney thinks about this or any other issue!!! Fuck what MY dad thought about it. The point is to CHANGE the way we think. And for some families it's going to mean taking the stupidest fucking moron in your family aside and gently telling him to kindly shut his ignorant pie hole ... FOREVER!!!
