Show 'Em if You Got 'Em...

in

So, the other day I saw a post on Facebook from an old classmate of mine. He was going off about Bruce Jenner... He was saying something about God being perfect and God creating perfection and God not wanting this or not wanting that or I don't know... Some blah, blah pea-brainwashed mumbo jumbo. It's like reading hieroglyphics to me when I read that crap. As though ANYONE knows what god or the universe or whatever wants or doesn't want... Some seriously funny shit right there... Like I said, mumbo jumbo. And then, I thought back to High School... And I remembered being in Trigonometry class and this particular classmate of mine had rips in the crotch of his jeans and wasn't wearing any underwear... He was showing everyone his balls. He kept saying "Hey!" and someone would turn and look and he'd spread his legs and show his balls, with all the scrunched up chicken skin pushing through the rips and tears...

“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”

~ Isaac Asimov

Truest thing I've read in an awfully long time...

AIDS-Afflicted U.S. Citizen Urges Obama Admin to Reverse Deportation of Australian Husband The Obama administration’s enforcement of the Defense of Marriage Act is threatening to tear apart the seven-year marriage of a binational gay couple in San Francisco. Bradford Wells, a U.S. citizen, and Anthony John Makk, an Australian national, have lived together for 19 years and were among the first same-sex couples to legally marry in Massachusetts. Anthony is also the primary caretaker for his husband, who has HIV/AIDS. Makk is facing deportation this month after the Obama administration denied them the same immigration benefits routinely given to opposite-sex couples. The decision is based on the so-called Defense of Marriage Act, the 1996 law known as DOMA, which denies federal benefits to same-sex couples. The Obama administration has said it would no longer defend DOMA in the courts, but the law still remains in effect.

And these fucking politicians have the nerve to ever bring "god" into anything they have to say. What they actually do is a different story. They couldn't be farther from grace. "God Bless"...? Fuck you. Stick that god bless clean up your ass, "mr. president".

I know, I know... He's a "politician". But, it doesn't mean we should sit still for the redundancy. Maybe we should start with altering our expectations... We should expect MORE. We should DEMAND MORE. Because we deserve more. And at the very least, we should expect decency...

Am I angry?

Absolutely.

If you'd like to sign a petition speaking out on behalf of Anthony Makk and Bradford Wells, you may do so here.

Silence is compliance.

Quit With The Gay Babies Already

This hysterical (and very true) contribution comes to us from our gorgeous, hottie-pa-tottie correspondent in the field, Nahnie. Her name really isn't "Nahnie", but her name does remind me of one of my beloved nieces, who used to call herself "Nahnie" when she was just a little shit.

If someone took her blanket, she'd yell at the top of her lungs, "NAHNIE'S!!"

And we'd be all like, "Umm... Okay, Satan, here's your blanket back."

And if someone was holding her Puffalump Kitty, she'd contort that sweet, cherub face and bare her three teeth and yell, "Nahnie's! NAHNIE'S MISTER KITTY!!!"

And we'd be all like, "Jesus Christ, here's your fucking kitty." Which she would promptly choke, taking out her frustrations that her little sister had been born.

And if someone pulled in their driveway just to turn around, her little ass would be standing at the door grasping onto her blanket, clutching onto Mister Kitty by the throat, glaring out at the perpetrators yelling, "NAHNIE'S!! NAHNIE'S DRIVEWAY!!"

And they'd speed away with fear in their eyes, frightened that the two foot bride of Chuckie was going to unleash her wrath.

So, Nahnie, thank you for this contribution. Everyone? It's Nahnie's contribution. NAHNIE'S!!!

Where Hate Resides and Thrives

in

Ugly, Ugly, UGLY Americans in Orange County... Now, I'm not going to be as stupid and ridiculous as these demonstrators and generalize that ugly Americans only reside in Orange County. But, this is where this happened. And yes, it could've been "Anywhere USA".

This vile, disgusting, ignorant and hate-filled demonstration is a perfect example of why an innocent nine year old little girl was shot and killed in Arizona. Intolerance of people who have different opinions, different ideas, or who are just different.

These sick, sick people... There must be a portion of them that's dead inside. And they don't even know it.

I forced myself to watch this all the way through. Because the other "Christina Greenes" who had to listen to such filth directed at THEM, had no choice. To see the adults be screamed at heinously is bad enough, but to see the young children, to see them stop in their tracks, because fear and trepidation finally stopped their little feet from moving, shreds me...

These hate mongers... There is nothing good there. Nothing. No peace, no grace, no decency. Only hate.

Funny, they're exactly who they think those other people are...

Terrorists.

They're exactly who they hate.
