Hi ,all. Maybe your having the same week I am - a real hard one. The world seems to be falling apart at the seems. I thought the religious right was a dead issue, but this week they have sprung up in spades in advertising (Ellen), Politics(Santorum) and after a judicial decision - oh, and of all things on the issue of birth control.
I must be honest , after the Santorum sweep I lost it. I am not ever going to vote republican , but I really thought the world and this country had come far enough that Santorum getting any attention was laughable. Obviously, I was wrong.
Many feel Obama would destroy Santorum in a national election, but I feel it shows this country is open to Taliban like rule and does not understand what small government means. For the record, no, I feel the government does EVERYTHING cheaper , better and faster than the private sector - I do not think small government is a good idea.
I will describe my week , if your interested, by all means read on
Rick Santorum has written books, yes, I know you know — but do a vast majority of his supporters know ? Books seem like something they frown upon. Good news for them : they will love his book when someone reads it to them. The man is a flat out bigot. The things he has said since Iowa would have most politicians out of any race . The things he writes in his book would make most winning a local race a pipe dream. Jesus, if the man was applying for a job at Wal Mart he would never get the managers position if someone read that book. What he has said on the floor of congress , and not just the famous stuff, is deplorable . He swept 3 states. There is no way to paint a good picture of that. It shows that hate can win an election. Flat out uneducated hate. I hate you because your gay - I could use that as my campaign slogan and have destroyed all candidates in the states Santorum won. If I said I hate Gays and I want a Birth Certificate I would be the front runner. If I added big government sucks, the primary would be over. If I tossed in the old "Urbanites' will all be off welfare, the primary would have been over in Iowa . Those of you who don't know Urbanites , Urban , Thugs and lazy are all code for the N word or can be substituted for any slur depending on what non white group your from. Unless of course your one of the homosexuals whom happen to be white — then you are included in the code. I think republicans think all the gays live in cities .
Now, the Santorum hate fest is not it. I hate Ellen and I think JC Penny is overpriced and for anyone my age who has given upon trying to look younger. The religious right has changed that. Now, I have to shop at Pennies , I have no choice. I mean really , Ellen ? The least offensive person on earth ? Is it a secret she is gay ? Was it ever ? I find it deplorable that the tin foil hat crowd are attacking this company for whom they choose to endorse them and not THE CHILD LABOR THEY FUND ! WTF is wrong with these people ? Nike can enslave young girls in Indonesia for pennies a week but a gay woman is out of bounds. What is wrong with my country?
Then the Catholic Church gave us the Birth Control 'Scandal'. A Cardinal was buried in Philly this week. The man was set to testify in the hiding pedophiles case. He was heralded as a great man who should be forgiven. REALLY ? REALLY ? What is wrong with my state ? He hid predators from prosecution, moved them around for fresh victims and he did some nice things ? The man hid 2 animals who taught at my high school ,an all boys high school at that, who are in the case. 1 was a COUNSELOR . Now, these animals are accused of molesting boys and were given places to cherry pick victims in positions that would allow for it. They love molesting the quiet troubled kid-what better way to find them then as a guidance counselor ?
These people are against birth control ?!?! They are a criminal organization , traficing fresh young boys . They just aren't moving the boys, their moving the subhumans .
I find it offensive that the Obama administration has not called on the 'Church' to turn over all child molesters and shut the f up about birth control. This is the time for a real stance on real crime.
The rest of the week seemed to be based in hate. Fox is just, ripe. The Report and The Daily Show being off always allows Fox to go balls out with their hate speech and misinformation because no one will call them on it.
On the bright side, HBO has a documentary this week about the Lovings. It shows that love does prevail. It shows that hate may win the early rounds but eventually human kindness wins. Human Understanding wins. Tolerance loses as well for acceptance .I have no right to tolerate you, you are a human being. I can tolerate a headache or a crying child - I am not so god like that I tolerate you. I must accept you, for you are human. I may decide to dislike you, but based on who you are not what you are.
If you do watch HBO on Sunday, think about this - I would not have been able to marry my wife until 2 people decided to fight. Obama 's parents were illegal in certain States when he was born .
Eventually humanity wins , it is just unfortunate we have to have weeks like this along the way
