dude...
we are the last ones... well, except for the trannys, the last persons in america to realize our constitutional rights, our civil rights, hell our basic human rights... all this bullshit hand wringing over dont ask dont tell, gay marriage, the employment non-discrimination act, the gay agenda.... none of this would be happening if we were talking about the denial of any of these god given rights under law because of race, gender, religion, national origins, skin color, age, disability, or even criminal records... and its hush hush if tweens n teens get bullied in school or on the play ground, in the locker room, in church, at home or on-line for being different, queer, moody, aspie, outcast.... its only after they take their own lives that anyone pays attention.. all this talking talking talking then shouting and shouting more louder and nothing ever changes...epic fail..
gay teens are still committing suicide and in ever greater numbers... the republican candidate for governor of new york makes disparaging [hateful] statements about gays in the midst of a national crisis maybe 1 day after prolly gay college student tyler clementi jumped off the george washington bridge because he just couldnt take it any more.. hateful hurtful remarks for political purposes.. fail..
the president of the united states decrying d.a.d.t., threatening its demise on his watch, and promptly seeks and receives injunctive relief when presented with a federal district judges ruling that ends the policy on constitutional grounds.. something this president, my president, couldnt or wouldnt do... executive order? hello.. commander-in-chief much? fail..
i am disappointed with my president.. the first word that comes to mind to sum up his first 2 years in office is... wuss... as for the majority leader in the senate... lame... duck? prolly... if not... an empty suit... looking for leadership in the senate is like running to the bridge of the andrea doria as it is capsizing looking for the captain and executive officers only to find instead the looney tunes cast... th-th-th-thats all folks!! and the madam speaker of the house of representatives.... well, it begins with a "c".... i hope mr. senate majority leader gets his ass handed to him on election day... fail...
and dont get me started on the undecided independent voters... lurching back-n-forth between dumb and dumber ever two years.... republicans!, no, democrats!, no, republicans, no democ trails off.... tax breaks for the rich, for corporations!! no new taxes - for anyone!! national health service is communism... now where the hell is my medicare? and now from fox noise.. the tea party... a political third rail or third way? more like the know nothing party of the mid-to-late 19th century... whack jobs if you ask me... then and now..
how about a tea dance instead..... im just sayin...
i blame society... and the media.. politics is show business for awkward ugly people... people that were unfortunate dorks in high school... its revenge of the nerds only now with money and power and control... and what pretends to be journalism, especially on tv and am talk radio in this the 21st century, is what happens to people whose parents didnt pay enough attention to them as children.. fail..
did i ever tell you how much i miss the cold war? idk, life was simpler then knowing we could all be vaporized at any time with as little as 20 minutes notice... hahaha!
is it weird that all too often i really hope high five kills me soon cause i can see the future and i really dont want to live in it?
sigh... it really does get better.. im just not feeling it today...
cheers... david
