filkertomJust so we all know what's at stake here: Your House Of Representatives has voted in favor of a bill that would not only outlaw gay marriage on the national level, not only prevent federal courts from ordering states to recognize gay marriages from other states... but would specifically prohibit any court, including the U.S. Supreme Court, from challenging the law.
Never mind that, out in the real, non-fundamentalist-evangelical world, no one seems to think that marriage is threatened by gay people. Never mind that, once again, the Republicans are discriminating against an entire class of citizens. Never mind that it probably won't go through.
These bastards are trying to disrupt the basic checks-and-balances system of the government.
Simple translation? And I can't believe I'm saying this, but the evidence is piling higher and deeper every single day: If you vote Republican, you are un-American.
Update: I looked at my rhetoric above, and I was going to tone it down. Too harsh.
Fuck that.
I'm sick of watching the nice, polite, Dems and progressives try to be rational while the Right Wing runs roughshod over pretty much everything good about this country. And I've got a few dear friends -- and when I mean "dear friends", I mean Bill Roper and Pete Grubbs, okay? I mean my mom -- who are die-hard conservatives.
Fuck that. It's time to save the country, save the world, from these evil shits. And I will offend even close friends by taking this tack, but that's tough.
Trust nothing the Republicans say or do. Not even John McCain. Especially not Tom DeLay, Dick Cheney, or anybody in the Cabinet, and that definitely includes that scumbag milksop quisling Colin "I Regret Lying To The U.N." Powell. If a right-wing commentator, especially on Fox News Network, says anything, they lie.
I'm serious. The United States of America itself is in dire danger, and we're letting these assholes herd us to the edge of the pit.
No More.
Second Update: A good for-instance on Repub lying, from the indispensible Josh Marshall's Talking Points Memo.
