NO BACK SEATS

Is your conscience content with voting for liars? Is it content to vote for anyone who thinks we are not fully equal and who “disagrees” with same-sex marriage because of what the bible teaches or because the institution of marriage is defined as one man and one woman? We have been waiting for those millions of pissed off people for too long. The tea party didn’t start with millions of people… A few hundred, a few thousand… who showed up. (Of course they had money… which is a HUGE factor). But how is it that ignorance and hatred motivate people to get engaged so easily?

Why would someone vote for a republican just because they are not voting for a democrat??? Are we so brainwashed and have we given up so much of our own power not to DEMAND a change?

This is the kind of messaging that appeals to the center, right, or the right of the left (fearless fakers). It infuriates me. Look how hard Dan Choi worked - talk about pulling yourself up by your bootstraps and extreme and consistent effort - and then he gets fired for being gay. WTF Obama????

I totally understand the magnitude and urgency of hard work and effort.  However, any “pull yourself up by your bootstraps” speech - especially targeted towards America’s youth and given by a Democrat - should include at least some reference to the fundamental impact of the many discrepancies related to opportunity and a plethora of “isms”.  You can call me a bleeding heart…  but I may stop calling Obama a Democrat.

As a social worker and for many years, a school counselor, I understand the magnitude and urgency of hard work and effort.  However, any “pull yourself up by your bootstraps” speech - especially targeted towards America’s youth and given by a Democrat - should include at least some reference to the fundamental impact of the many discrepancies related to opportunity and a plethora of “isms”.  You can call me a bleeding heart…  but I may stop calling Obama a Democrat.

“So what you are saying” Jesus asks “is that you are against your second husband’s third
ex-wife’s born out of wedlock’s daughter getting married for the first time
to the woman she has lived and loved with for the last 12 years? I’m so
glad you are adhering to Bible’s teachings.”
