focus on your own damn family and irresponsible congress...

the california supreme court took another step towards a society that protects the rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness yesterday by recognizing that marriage is a fundamental right to publically declare love and join in marriage with the person of one's choosing...or, as a friend of mine put it, they simply declared "FOCUS ON YOUR OWN DAMN FAMILY." still, plenty of blowhards (you know, the kind that wind up in a shady hotel room tweaked out of their minds and fucking the hell out of some gay prostitute) immediately took to the steps and declared what a travesty it was for equal protection to mean equal protection. and they came out and reminded us that civil unions created similar benefits...the same talking points being used fourty years prior by their grandaddy to justify keeping the black folk in their place. so expect the self-annointed saviors of your family to come back out of the woodwork and declare that if johnny and bobby living together down the street actually got a piece of paper to make it official, then you will have someone to blame when your husband turns up in an all-male orgy at a rest stop. as for me, I look forward to the next screaming homophobe being outed...

and of course some fools will now begin the standard rant against "legislating from the bench" - which loosely translates to "making judicial determinations that do not coincide with my bigotry." you should not blame these simpletons though...they need hatred to keep on going, without someone to send to hell they might be forced to focus on their own impending trip south. (and aren't all these the same folks that are convinced the end of the world is upon us? why the fuck to they care?) and it is difficult for these fools to understand how government works in america...and without basic civic knowledge they are left to imagine that we live in a system like the french (the irony of the crowd that gave us "freedom" fries confusing ours with the french is not lost on me) where judges do nothing but put facts into a formula. given this was not making law...it was striking down an unconstitutional law (the most basic function of our judiciary)...judges make law - if they didn't our society would fucking fall apart. but it makes a great issue for those that are robbing you blind and in need of a diversion. so keep getting pissed off at shit that has no bearing on your life...and I'll see you in the bread line.

republicans are up in arms about how irresponsible it is to ask that those that benefit the most from the way of life they military is purportedly protecting in iraq and afghanistan pay a wee bit more of their already uselessly large wealth so that kids that risked their lives for years in the desert can go to college. they ask young kids to die for them...and yet those kids can't expect the slightest gratitude in return? fuck wearing a goddamn pin on your lapel, pay their tuition you greedy shitbags. but they all support the troops...the yellow ribbon magnet on their car proves it.

I'm on the same side as you...
