First off I like to declare myself an independent. I don't jump at the idea that the Democratic party is some great estuary for all liberal and progressives to spawn in. I don't like how they blame the Green party for Gore losing in 2000, and Obama's clear ignorance of why he was voted in. What angers me more so than the party that should represent more of me, is the party that ties everything to religion and everything else to catch-words like "Freedom" and "Liberty". I should make note, that I don't consider the Tea Party a political party, rather, I consider it a hijacking of both Libertarian and Republican ideals masked to hide the obvious white-supremacist, conspiracy theory nutjobs, with clear support from industrial polluters seeking a return on their investments.
With that in mind, let me get started.
The Texas GOP has gone on another illogical war against homosexuality as the GOP Convention in Texas clearly shows with a vote to support the idea of Homosexual conversion therapy in the party's platform. This has been proven time and time again to be a waste of time/money. And while they keep bringing up jobs and job creation, clearly their motives are to stop the 'Homosexual steamroller' from converting people to homosexuality. While libertarians really shouldn't care, as liberty is the act of acting freely with one's own will, Neo-Cons are clearly frightened, possibly having had a homosexual urge sometime in their lifetime. I really couldn't give a shit, as these are the same idiots who can't understand why the "Godlessness" excuse doesn't work for states that have no Sex Ed. at all, whereas states with Sex Ed have both lower Teen birth and STD rates. In other words, the states having the most sex are possibly sinning more, but definitely having less abortions as well. The 'Right' has an obsession with sex and abortions so much that they flip numbers (Senators saying Planned Parenthood is 90% abortions) or use word-speak to make Pro-Choice more like Pro-Death as the logical opposition to Pro-Life. Since before I was even in Sex Ed., I've had neighbors and acquaintances that were either Bi-sexual or Homosexual. Yet I, despite my 'exposure' to such things, still do not seek anything other the great natural beauty of the female. So why then, is a party that's supposedly for individual rights and liberties pushing for laws and ideologies that clearly deny even a majority conservative Supreme Court Justice ruling that no law should deny equal rights to 2 individuals in love, regardless of gender. If the Democrats are supposed to be the spending party, what are the 'tax less' party doing wasting tax payer funds pushing laws that are unconstitutional and will certainly be overthrown by the Supreme Court. Besides having a fear of themselves for fear of not being 'Christian', they are going against their own principle of a waste-no-penny gov't.
But of course, in other news, this isn't the last of them flip-flopping and ignoring the Constitutionality or lack there of in their actions.
5 Guantanamo Bay prisoners in exchange of a POW is clearly a hot-point this week, with pro-military actions taking a stand against both law and a US soldier. Terrorist suspects are still defined as being such despite no legitimate court cases pursued to find the prisoners guilty or innocent. Yet, it seems too many Americans regardless of party are tremendously frightened by the fact that we're worrying about the prisoners held without trial for starving themselves. As if this is equivalent to caring about the abuse that convicted child sex offenders supposedly receive in prison. Law is one of those things that sometimes doesn't work in the favor of those on either side of it, but what it's place in society is justice, and in the American society this means limits on the Government or majority as well. If the American system was still based on justice, perhaps those that would be in opposition to such an equivalent for all, would certainly consider this the 'fascist' states of Obama's rule. Which of course, if constitutional law was reigning supreme, would be quite the opposite.
We are on the path to a police state with the precedents set since World War 2 or earlier as proof, but those considering letting the starving Guantanamo prisoners die as the best path in promoting our nations' "righteousness" are clearly the ones hammering the stake of a Nationalist state into the heart of America. Of course the same goes for those who believe that those following the scientific consensus of today, Global Warming, would be burning those at the stake who believed the Earth was round. Clearly a lack of understanding in History and Law, could be our undoing.
P.S. The men of Duck Dynasty and Jesus look Muslim to me.
