Don’t pray for me
I don’t need your sympathy
I don’t want your god protecting me
Don’t pray for me
I don’t want your empathy
I don’t need your savior saving me
Don’t pray for me
Jyg found a leaflet on the door when she came to the house after school. She handed it to me. The paper was rolled up, but I recognized the M.O.: Jehovah’s Witness had made a stop at my house and left the pamphlet. I unrolled it to see that it was completely in Spanish. I sighed. “I don’t see why have to assume because we’re Hispanic, we automatically write, speak, talk Spanish.”
“What’s wrong?”
“They’re trying to save us and they’re doing it in Spanish,” I replied.
Ever since my confrontation with a Jehovah Witness and a Mormon (on different occasions, I should add), my house seems to be on top of the list when it comes to saving. Believer beware, there’s a doubter in there!
Okay, I get it. Some of you need God in your lives because it’s a foundation, others need it because of some misguided sense of morality. God doesn’t make moral, you do. And while you preach the end of the world, don’t drag me down to your hell fire. It’s just a simple favor. I don’t go around to your house with empirical data and say, “Would you like to be a doubter today? You’ll love it. You don’t have ever feel bad again. That big brother in the sky, simply gas and air. Don’t worry.”
I don’t hate Christians because then I’d hate a lot of my friends, so please don’t get me wrong. I hate stupid Christians. And don’t sit there twidling your thumbs because you know who you are and you know you’re stupid and you know you’re going to want to post a comment on this because you’re now offended. Do yourself a favor: Don’t! In fact, just scroll pass this post and ignore it and pretend that your rays of sunshine haven’t been darkened by me because if you’re faith is strong enough, there should be no reason why anything I say on this blog would piss you off.
Now for you smart Christians, you may leave the room if you’d like. You whose faith are so strong that you can tolerate those who don’t have the same views as you. You who don’t feel the need to cram a Bible down the throats of all those who disagree with you. You who don’t send e-mails to other people with the words of a hate monger disguised as a worshiper and follower of Christ. You, who I call friend, I do not hold anything against you because you’ve been nothing but kind, caring, rational, accepting and so on and so forth of me.
Okay, back to the stupid, immature, the weak of faith: What is your problem? Do you wake up in the mornings and zombie your way down the street looking for someone to gnaw on and make his/her life as pointless and miserable as yours? I wrote that post several months ago, so why are you still drawn to it like a moth to the flame? I believe it was Einstein who said that only a madman would do the same thing over and over hoping for a different result? What exactly do you think you’re going to accomplish here? Do you think by posting your nonarguments that I’m suddenly going to say, “Well, I’ll be. You’re right Mr. Christian. I shall now denouce all that I believe in to follow you and be just like you and as annoying as you and I’ll make others to be just like us – zombies of Christ.”
I don’t want to believe like you do. I don’t want to think like you do – assuming that you’re capable of that. I don’t want to be like you, talk like you, act like you. I’m happy with who I am, you should be too. I’d rather not be a part of the masses who, 40 years ago, would’ve lynched a black man – or in the more up to date version, shoot a homosexual several times because he wasn’t what your god thought should be. I don’t want to hate my fellow man because there is no hope for humanity through hatred and discrimination.
Do us all a favor – especially your smart counterparts because more times than not they are clumped together with you and they really hate that because I would – read a book outside of your religious scriptures. Go to school. Don’t home school your youth. If your faith is strong enough, it will survive anything. And then you won’t care what I write.
Damnit – how much longer does one have to wait until he can watch Watchmen? I was reading, a while back, that it might have been postponed, but I’m sure that won’t happen because the “hype” is growing and there’s no way this movie can be pushed back because comic hungry nerds, such as me, are attempting to suffice themselves with other comic book movies that aren’t taking the cake.
In other Ennui news, I was catching up with Skepchick yesterday because I stopped reading a lot of the blogs I loved because I grew lazy. I regret doing this because it means I almost missed this zinger that had me in stitches. It’s a response made by one Andrés Diplotti on the subject of a spokesman of some diocese on the subject of garden gnomes. It seems that these “unnatural creatures” have no place in the church yards. Andrés Diplotti had this to say:
Unlike gods, which, as everybody is aware, are natural creatures. If I remember correctly, there are three identified species in a single genus: Deus pater, D. filius and D. spiritus ssp. sanctus. The last common ancestor seems to be D. iehova, which was once found in Middle Eastern deserts but is now thought to be extinct (Nietzsche, 1883). It has been argued that they should be reclassified as Homo, since apparently they can breed with H. sapiens. But others have countered that such an occurrence has happened only in a single, poorly documented ocasion, and furthermore, there is no indication that the offspring was fertile. (source)
It’s comments like that that just make my day chipper and brighter.
I wrote a rant about Prop. 8 a couple of days ago, and now I just read The Buddhist Blog’s post on the same subject. I won’t go into too much detail about the post itself, except that I agree with it. I’m posting a quote here (the last paragraph, actually) but it links to the entire post, so you can hit and read the original. Enjoy it.
All your mental armor drags me down
nothing hurts like your mouth
Do onto others as you would want done onto you. For the pious, you know exactly what those words mean. For those who have a god up in the clouds, you know that you are supposed to love your neighbor. But Christians these days are anything but Christian. The majority are venomous hate mongers who would rather see the world on fire than to allow love to flow down the streets because the greedy shits that they are, they think it’s only available to a certain group, namely them. I watched this country in the throes of change, but rather we only received a small amount of change as the country is ready for a black president, but is not ready for two men to be married – or two women at that.
I am not a celebrity. I am not a newsman. I am not a Christian. Nor am I a homosexual. I’ve known a few homosexuals in my life, and I love them dearly – well, the ones who I called my friends, at least. Man and woman a like can wake up one morning and realized that their whole lives are a sham because of one stupid stigma that this country holds: Marriage is between a man and a woman. Really, because growing up I was always told when two people are in love, they get married. My mother, the priests, the CCD teachers all seemed to have ignored the man and woman fact back with it was a “problem.”
But what problem exactly? Suddenly it became really cool to hate homosexuals because President Bush up in the White House created a quagmire and had to shift the focus of attention from his mistake to a constitutional amendment that disallows the marriage between two people of the same sex. That’s all great and all, but I thought this was the land of dreams – the all American Dream (to be happy and to be prosperous) – a land of freedom – isn’t that a part of our national anthem? But this boils down, like most politics, not on the morals of a group of people, but the beliefs of a religions people.
The way we break if there’s something we can’t take
Destroy the world that we took so long to make
I accept the fact that those who created our country were religious, but those who came to it were in pursuit of religious freedom. It is written down in our history that all men were created equal. It was written in our history that the church and state would be separate. Many of you seem to have forgotten it by enforcing ridiculous laws like Prop. 8. You will hinder a group of people to share the same love are you so you can be deemed good in the eyes of your god. If your god doesn’t believe in love, then your god must not be a very good god after all. And it sickens me that he could ever create something as vile and disgusting as hate mongers like you.
But those of you who don’t claim a religious reason for wanting a law that doesn’t permit homosexuals to marry, you say it’s because of the sanctity of marriage. I ask you this, what sanctity? Divorce rates are higher in believers than it is in nonbelievers, affairs of religious people stumbles upon the news whenever they’re revealed, and there’s the shotgun marriages that pollute our politics because an abstinence only politician’s daughter finds herself pregnant during the time her mother’s running for vice president. Is that the sanctity that you want to salvage. Maybe it’s time that we give the homosexuals a try at it while the rest of you attempt to fix your own problems.
Beware of those who want to harm you
And drag you down to a lower game
Just know the truth is coming
To bring peace to this troubled land
Now, I’m not much of an activist because I’m way too lazy to get arrested and I like my clean record. But I do boast those who are activists and hold them in high regard. Activists stand for change. Without them, blacks wouldn’t be able to vote, women wouldn’t be able to vote, people wouldn’t be anything further than separate but equal. The activists out there marching in the streets advocating change in this country that has for so long held several groups of people down by abusing their powers and their money.
And that’s the problem with the country – not that there are few activists, but that we have now given way too much authority on the end-times morons who are at their pulpits spitting venom and donating money to prejudice laws. I cannot say anything further than this: You cannot define freedom as giving rights to one group of people, while denying it to another. It was wrong during the time of slavery; it was wrong during the early 20th century; it was wrong to deny the marriage of two people of opposite sex to marry because of the difference in their skin; and it is wrong still to deny two people the same rights and love that you so dearly possess because it is in your mind disgusting, sinful and wrong. That is not freedom. That is the same vile thought that was founded by hatred and not by love of almighty, all benevolent creator.
And here’s Keith Olbermann holding the same values as I do, but getting it across way better:
I just finished reading Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro and while the novel is beautifully written, the dark overtones of a contemporary England setting sent chills down my spine. I’m glad that Jyg bought me the book because I would never had heard of it otherwise.
The book deals heavily with childhood fantasy – those daydreams where you once imagined yourself as a movie star, someone famous, a mother, even love, etc. – gone awry. Imagine living in a world where the people outside your surroundings are allowed to grow up to be whatever they want to be and you’re future is set for you. Imagine knowing that you’re different from everyone else and are hated for that. That others like you outside the gates of your private school are abused and mistreated and you’re given the lap of luxury. Imagine that your only purpose in life is to grow up, stay fit and healthy and give up you life in order for others to live. That is the life of the clones in Never Let Me Go, a narrative told through the eyes of Kathy H., a carer going on her twelfth year.
The clones are split up between carers and donors. It is up to the carers to keep the donors morale up as they are healing. But carers, when the time is right, are called for donations in the end. The clones are created in order to cure the maladies once thought as incurable. Cancer, in this dark new world, has a cure. That is the sole purpose of these “creatures.”
After realizing the purpose of the clones – and that they were clones – questions started leaking into my head and I’m sure it was Ishiguro’s intent. Because as students, the clones are taught art mainly, it is left the door open – and the question is asked late in the book – to ask, “Do clones have souls?” I know I’m not one to talk about souls, but the very fact that they are able to create without mimicing is what left that door open in a world where a god does reign over. Because some may not believe that humans have souls – I hold my doubts – then let me ask this: Because clones are copies of other people, do they have minds of their own? Each clone has a possible in the world – meaning a person they were modeled after. What are the chances that their future aspirations (even though they are not allowed a regular future) are the same as those their possibles had, or have? Not to mention the mannerisms and personality, are these their own or are they embedded in the cloned DNA?
On a more ethical question, seeing that the clones were raised as children into adulthood, only to “complete” during their 30s, you must ask if it’s ethical to harvest the clones for organs and the like? The sole purpose of their existence is to give up their lives so that others may live. However, it seems like a dark world to create a life in order to kill it. And this all comes back to the soul/mind questions: If these clones lack souls/minds, then one can say it is perfectly find to harvest them for parts so that others can live as they are no different than a lab rat who is given an ear to grow on its back. However, the fact that they have artistic talent, holding with traditional thought that one must have a soul to create art, proves that they do not lack this. The fact that they can feel love – or at least grasp the abstract concept of love and emotion – proves they have a mind. I cannot be certain that they have either, because their lessons are to model humans as closely as possible so that they are not pointed out in public places as they are feared by the majority of people.
If they have minds of their own, then the answer to the next question is yes. If they don’t, then there is no logic in the question, which is: Can clones logically believe in a higher power? Because they know how they came into existence was by human will rather than a divine power, it is hard to grasp if a clone can believe in a god. I won’t get too much into this question, so I’ll leave it at that.
Are clones seen as demons? Most Christians are already on a witch hunt to prove that homosexuals are sinful and spawns of hell, but at least homosexuals were born in a natural way even though their sex lives aren’t viewed as such. Because they were created, not born, into this world by science that is not natural biology, I have to assume that clones will be seen as something other than human. It’s not far from me to think that clones would be seen in a negative light by believers (well, most believers) yet be accepted as perfect donors because we know how ignorant some might be.
Anyway, these were the questions that I came up with reading the book. There might be more, but I’m sure these cover all of the fields.
Disclaimer: Do not read this post if you think it’s about technology. You won’t find an intelligent term in this post. This is just a post of someone who is hungry and cannot sleep. Thank you. Ennui Prayer.
But I sort of want a Mac. Not because they’re “better,” but because I fell in love with El Senor’s Mac when I was babysitting it. That and because it saved me so much space just existing in my room. I’m a technological dimwit, but I’m twenty-five, so you’re probably wondering how that’s possible. While most of the techies were fiddling with their computers and learning all the cool things about them, I was too busy not caring. A lot of us were too busy not caring. I’m sure some of us had the time of doing both, and learning the basics, but I wasn’t one of them.
So coming to me and telling me a Mac is better than a PC for this number of reasons, all I’m hearing is the Charlie Brown adult voices as trumpets. In fact, I’m probably not listening to you anyway. I’m too busy not caring. As long as I get my work done, I’m cool.
As for the whole Windows Vista hoopla, all I can say, I love Windows Vista on my computer solely because my computer was built to support Windows Vista and I didn’t dish out the money so I can run XP. I had my qualms about it, sure. But after I figured out how to do the stuff I used to do, I was okay with it. It seems like every blog that deals with Vista is always written by someone who is living in the past. So you think it sucks, so what?
What strikes me odd is that these people who are blogging about Windows Vista are Mac users. I find that odd. I dunno. This post didn’t have a point. I just saw the fucking commercial and thought of the title and then had to put in some form of writing.
But during my search for the video, I found some old videos that I simply love. Christ Follow v. Christian commercials a la Mac commercials.
I find Christ followers less annoying than the self proclaimed Christians. Actually, I don’t find Christ followers annoying at all, because while they’re still technically Christians, they don’t come up to me and tell me I’m going to hell. In fact, the don’t preach to me at all. Rather, they listen. Geez, Christians. What the fuck?
And one last one. Because Linux needs its moment in the spot light.
In other news, I’m gonna try some other layouts. I’ll see if I like any of them. I want your input as well.

The funny part is, I was thinking about Gay Christians while listening to this song and I found that video in just one search. I kid you not.
I don’t know who Ray Boltz is, but he’s some ex-Gospel singer turned homosexual (I’m using bad Christian logic here, so bear with me). He came out of the closet after divorcing his wife and the backlash is horrible. Not once did he mentioned he had a long term relationship with another guy during his marriage, so we can assume he’s better than Jim Bakker ever was (or any other God-fearing Christian who hires former prostitutes as secretaries – for their acquired skills, of course).
Something that keeps coming up, however, is the whole homosexual as choice (read: sin). The people over at Gay Christian Movement Watch is probably the only people I can note that keeps using this over and over again as if it were religion. They ask you to communicate intelligently and do not attack others (meaning them) in your comments. However, they refuse to listen to empirical data that shows that homosexuality isn’t a choice, but a something genetically embedded in our heads. I say our heads, but what I mean is that no one should prevent themselves from feeling love – as long as said love is with a consenting adult and not a camel. If you lie to yourself and to the world in order to save face, then you’re missing out on what could be the most gratifying emotion that we can feel as “rational animals.”
Instead, former fans of Boltz write, “This is the creepy part–he is dating and enjoying the “normal gay life” now. Ick.” That’s just wonderful. The person who wrote that blog isn’t as much as a tight ass (no pun intended) as the other ones and way looser than GCM Watch who seem to ejaculate (the pun is meant to be taken) at their pulpit and their followers eat it up like whip cream on a slice of pumpkin pie – goodness me, I’ve gone on and myself hungry.
I don’t take my argument at GCM Watch because I don’t they play nice. In fact, I think, while they forbode anyone to attack and insult them and those of like minds, they attack progressive or free-thinkers, or people like Lewis Black who have thoughts.
Christianity Today is reporting that Ray Boltz has announced he is gay. For any of you around my age you remember Ray Boltz from your teen years. With songs like “Thank You” and “Watch The Lamb” he made his way to the top of the christian charts. This is so sad. Satan is picking people off left and right it seems like. Please pray for Ray Boltz that God would convict him and save him if he is lost. Pray for his ex-wife who must be devastated. I am not sure if they have any children together. And as you pray, guard yourself. The enemy is on the prowl. (source)
It’s sad when people feel the need to go to great lengths and say this is the world of Satan. No, ladies and gentlemen, not Satan, but science. However, I’m sure you equate both of them to be one and the same. However, I don’t lose faith in humanity because the aforementioned progressive, free-thinkers and people with thoughts can sum up the entire nonsense in one simple sentence. It’s, um, nonsense.
Now why can’t people be more like Adam Green and less like Pastor DL Foster? Because the world don’t work out that way, I suppose. But wouldn’t it be nice if it did?
It saddens me to think how this post will more than likely be called blasphemous, or written by a degenerate for degenerates if it gets any attention at all. That’s not what saddens me, really; the fact that they’re so simple minded to think such a thing is what really gets me.
Jenn, I know you hate it when I do shit like this, so please forgive me.
If only...
I’m one of them, I’ll admit this. I love talking, but I hate talking for long periods of time because I suck when speaking because I tend to pause in mid sentence to think of the appropriate word. This causes people to think I could care less about the conversation, or that I’m nervous (that usually depends on my situation) or whatever.
But Christians (and I don’t mean to offend the good Christians – you know the unorthodox Christians who actually have Christian-like characteristics) really love to hear themselves speak. Sometimes to a point where it all begins to sound the same.
I saw the Gay Christian Movement Watch blog on the dashboard so I decided to see what that was all about. Assuming I had found a gay-friendly blog written by gay Christians for gay Christians, it turns out to be more backwards talking about how being gay is wrong while alluding that they are not saying such a thing, though insisting that being gay is addiction, but alluding they are being fair and not preaching on a soapbox, but fags are still wrong. Did you get that? Because it took me a while to understand.
The blog I’ll be referring to is on some Gospel singer who came out of the closet. I don’t like Gospel music and I really hate pop music that is actually Gospel music in disguise. [Note: I have no problem with popular music that just happens to be gospel music, but doesn't hide nor push their beliefs, i.e. Flyleaf, Flick, Lifehouse and the like.]
This is what GCM Watch wrote on the subject (emphasis mine):
People often ask me what should they do with the music of people like Boltz after a person publicly departs from the faith. There is no biblical guidance on it so it really becomes a matter of personal choice. The more important issue is that we do not let someone’s talent cloud our judgment thereby justifying their sin. No amount of singing, talents, gifts or fame will cause one to have eternal life with Christ, only repentance and faith in Him opens the doors to the kingdom of heaven. Sadly for these people, unless they repent, their works will perish in the fire when tried.
Please STOP supporting these organizations while they spit in your face and deny the Bible’s truth. (source)
So whatever happened to love the sinner and hate the sin?
Now I don’t pretend to know shit about the Gay Christian movement because this is the first I hear that there is such a movement. I mean, don’t me wrong, I’ve heard of gay Christians, I just didn’t know they were now organized and trying to push into the doors of churches everywhere. I just assumed that the majority of bad Christians would lynch the gay Christians if they did such a thing because that’s what bad Christians do. They think themselves holier-than-though while they stick the knives into the backs of their fellow man.
There’s not rationality in this religion, at least not in the sense that people like the GCM Watch practice it. I have Christian friends. I love my Christian friends. I get a long with my Christian friends. However, I don’t like people who say they’re Christian and then do unChristian things, like say killing babies is wrong when they’re not born, but dropping bombs on them is perfectly okay (you knew I was going to bring Iraq into this somehow, didn’t you?).
So what is the rationality behind these men assuming that is what we can call it that (again, emphasis is mine):
1. We believe the Bible to be the final and only authority in matters concerning sexuality and the wholeness of mankind. We believe the scriptures are self-validating. “All scripture is given by inspiration of God”(II Timothy 3:16), consequently we hold that the totality of Biblical canon reject contemporary theories and philosophies of genetic homosexuality.
2. We believe that real freedom from homosexual addictions only come through Jesus Christ. We fervently believe that Jesus was the perfect embodiment of truth and that knowing Him makes one free (John 14:6, 8:32). We hold that freedom comes, and is maintained, not through religious methodology, but through a life of submission to Christ, accountability at a Bible-practicing church, and walking daily according to the precepts found in the Holy Word.
[...]
5. We encourage persons struggling against sexual and gender identity issues to seek professional counseling for the solutions they desire. Such counseling should not be a replacement for repentance but as a supplement to one’s Christian journey to maturity in Christ. We caution that those providing the counseling, in order to be effective, must base their counseling on Biblical principles. We therefore reject all practices such as yoga, transcendental meditation, spirit-guides and other new-age based techniques that focus on humanistic solutions to the spiritual problem of sin.
[...]
8. We believe that the church is God’s ordained agency in the earth, commissioned to communicate and demonstrate the love and judgment of God. Therefore, we call upon the church, which is the body of our Lord Jesus, to cease its practice of rejecting homosexuals who come to her for help. We hold that the church should openly preach and teach a redemptive message of deliverance and healing for all persons have experienced the ravages of sexual sin. It should also provide applicable ministries to support and nurture these believers into maturity. Likewise, we urge the church to cease its practice of allowing persons, steadfastly unrepentant of homosexuality, to operate in positions of influence and authority. For the scriptures wisely admonish us that “a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump” (I Cor 5:6). (source)
1. You know what I find interesting? The world was once thought to be flat. If the Bible had noted that the world was flat, would these idiots ignore the fact the world is indeed round because their precious book told them otherwise?
2. As for the second one there, I have no other way to say there is nothing more gay than getting down on one’s knees and submitting to a man upstairs. Isn’t that what bottoms do?
5. I suggest that GCM Watch pick up some Buddhist texts because the “spirituality” that may or may not lead to sin is a lot like Christianity. In fact, some Buddhist historical texts have suggested a teacher by the name of Iesus (you probably know him better as Jesus). And there is some historical texts that the one you call you savior actually traveled East (further East, considering he was already East) and studied with the Buddhists. Of course, you’re not going to believe this because it’s not noted into your Bible, so therefore not truth.
8. You can only go to to church being gay only if you’re seeking aid. Otherwise, these people are more than likely going to lynch you.
I understand that some people need faith. Personally, I need more tacos. But when religion becomes a power tool for discrimination (remember how there used to be a black church and a white church?), then it no longer becomes a religion, but a soapbox for racists, homophobic, sexist – you name it! – people to gain followers. And I’m not saying GCM Watch is the tool of evil in this country, because there’s always those Westboro Baptists who just hate everything and everyone.
I’m reminded of the movie Saved at this moment. It’s at the end where the gay guy and the girl he got pregnant are confronting the pastor who has banished them from the school dance because he’s gay and she’s pregnant. There’s a group of them, degenerates as they would most likely be called by GCM Watch, and they all want to be a part of the school dance because they feel they should. The dialogue goes as follows:
Mary: So everything that doesn’t fit into some stupid idea of what you think God wants you just try to hide or fix or get rid of? It’s just all too much to live up to. No one fits in one hundred percent of the time. Not even you. Pastor Skip: I know that, Mary. Dean: I know in my heart that Jesus still loves me. Mary: Why would God make us all so different if he wanted us to be the same?
Disclaimer: This blog isn’t meant to offend you. Actually, if you’re offended, then bitch about it on your own blog, not mine. Come to think of it, I’m pretty sure some of you might be offended by this blog. If you’re offended, that only means you have no sense of humor whatsoever and should get off your high horse and get high for a change. Also I would like to know that I’m not attacking Feminists in this blog, even though it might seem like I am at times. I apologize offhand if any feminists are offended by this blog, unless you equate Feminism with PUMA power which doesn’t make a you a feminist, but a raving idiot and you should politely excuse yourself and have a political time out. Further more, I’d like to state if you’re blog got linked here it’s either because I liked a lot, or hated it just as equally. The choice is yours to decide which one I feel about you. And while I’m on the subject of disclaimers, I often wonder why people would even fathom a disclaimer anymore. The world of political correctness should have died in the 90s because it was just a waste of time. I’m not saying go out and become racists, sexist and bigots (though, a lot of you already are, but just like to use other terms for it like Evangelical, Republican and Conservative). I’d also like to note that while I call PUMAs pussies, they are anything but pussies. It takes a certain amount of balls to actually get up in the morning, watch TV, look at Mrs. Clinton for some sort of secret code in her body language or words, get on their blogs and write about how she still supports them and is anti-Obama – didn’t a woman get arrested for this because David Letterman was giving her secret messages on TV? – and actually believe the horseshit that they write about one candidate while ignoring the flaws of the other candidate, all the while denying that they themselves are conservative or Republican. This is just a summary of my dream that I had last night and shouldn’t to be explained as much as I already have, but it’s in my nature. Again: I DO NOT mean to offend anyone who is a Feminist (who is my friend), Christian (whois my friend), Republican (who is my friend) or any blogger (who is friend, or I’m the fan of his/her blog). Thank you and enjoy the post.
P.S. I’d also like to state that this post is meant to offend you. Yeah. If it doesn’t, then I didn’t do my job.
Here’s to the Montagues, John Wayne, and Bette Davis
And Romeo, gave it for a chorus girl in Vegas, yeah

I had a dream last night that the country was at a lost. A lot of political mutants from the Republican party (not to mention the Hilary pussies meowing at their doors) went in and voted for McCain/$2 Whore…err Palin. Sorry, feminists, that was a crude joke, I know. But can we agree that Palin is only the token woman and has not political experience – isn’t that what everyone is saying about Obama, by the way? – even is Alaska is next to Russia – what the fuck does that mean anyway? Palin stands for everything most feminist should stand against, yet a lot of the PUMA freaks are considering themselves feminists. I’m sorry, but Feminism DOES NOT equal pouting in the corner, arms crossed, faces scrunched up and whining that their person lost the election and vowing revenge on a person who is completely oblivious of them.
But Palin also stands for everything I’m against as well. Blogger Ingrid Schlueter over at The Hope Blog writes:
I like Sarah Palin. We have much in common in our beliefs on the sanctity of human life, the right to bear arms, the importance of the Constitution and the need to protect God’s definition of family. I further admire her spunk, intelligence and leadership gifts. They are obviously considerable. At a time of weak male leadership, a clear voice of any kind that represents common sense and decency is a breath of fresh air. I have absolutely nothing against Governor Palin.

I’m all for those who have faith even though I think it’s a waste of time. Some people need faith like I need…well, I can’t think of anything. Now, before I continue, I want to say that I don’t know who Ingrid is, or read any of her blogs minus this one (but I’m only focusing on her opening paragraph rather than the blog post as a whole) and I don’t dare assume she’s being a bigot, or an idiot, anti feminist, etc. I want to make this clear because I don’t want angry Ingrid fans cursing me to the pits of hell, because I live about 20 minutes away from Hell and it’s not as bad as people say it is.
Now Ingrid likes Palin for all the reasons I dislike Palin – except, nowhere in this opening paragraph does she say that Palin is appropriate for the job because of her knowledge of foreign affairs, running the show (because you, me and your grandmother knows that McCain’s going to last as long as Garfield did in office – oh yeah, I went there), and so on. Here’s a list on why Ingrid, and a lot of other Republicans, like Palin:
The Sanctity of human life, meaning pro-life.
The right to bear arms
anti gay marriage
she’s a woman. Yeah, I said it.
Okay, let me be the first to say that I will never get an abortion, solely because I can’t get one. One must have a vagina to get one and I’m all penis on this side of the screen. I also feel – as a liberal, OMG! – that abortions are a vile procedure that we abuse a lot of the times. However, with that being said, again, I don’t have a vagina so I dont’ know nothing about nothing when it comes to abortions. What I do know is that some regret it and some don’t. I also know that “Brass Furnace Going Out: Song, after an Abortion” by Diane DiPrima, which is read at a lot of Pro-life rallies, isn’t an antiabortion poem, but an poem about an abortion. Unlike most men in this country (the south), I don’t think it’s right for me to say no to a woman who wants to get an abortion. Just like I don’t go up to the drunk and say, “No, don’t drink. You’ll kill your liver, kidneys and your life.” We allow people to get a tattoo, get drunk, join the army (more on this part in a bit), and so on that affects one’s body and possibly the lives around them (really stressing on just the army and the drinking, drug addiction, cigarettes, and the like with this one), so why do we focus so much on abortion? Because children are miracles from Heaven? I’m sorry, I may not be a father, but I do have a large family and I beg to differ. Kids are so far from little miracles that they can’t even see Heaven from where they’re standing. Kids do stuff to annoy us, aggravate us and they even get pregnant at 17 and out of wedlock while you stand at the abstinence only stance.
With Palin, however, you’re getting another Pro-life nut who will only resort to giving women who are victims of incest or rape two choices:
Live with the memory of the nightmare each and every day (even though adoption is an option, popular culture leads me to believe that adopted children always seek out their birth parents); and
Old fashion choice
However, the sanctity of life shouldn’t only mean those who can’t speak from within the womb who just happen to be in a womb in the USA, but of all life in the world. That’s just this man’s point of view. Dropping bombs on a foreign country causes what El Senor and his fellow marine buddies in the first Gulf War called, “late abortions” (I will correct this later, when I figure out the correct term), meaning killing children and men already ready born into this world. Don’t get me wrong, war is necessary sometimes. Iraq wasn’t one of those sometimes and to this day still isn’t.
As for the right to bear arms, sure that’s a good idea until someone punk kid goes off and shoots up your kid’s school, possibly injuring or killing your offspring in the process. Then gun control is all the riot. Or, as some Republicans seem to see it, only in the hands of sensible White Anglo Saxton Protestants rather than their darker skin counterparts, should be able to carry a weapon. Gun control is a stupid and sensible law. I don’t like the idea of not being able to obtain a gun to protect myself from, oh let’s say, zombies. However, I also don’t like the idea of Jerry Michael’s across the street to break in my house and steal my stuff, because I happen to like my stuff. My stuff keeps me connected to you.
So how do we keep guns out of the hands of the “wrong” people and give them to the “right” people because a bout of anger, rage or insanity is all that it takes for a “right” person to become a “wrong” person. No, what most conservatives want is to keep them out of the hands of those who might wind up using it on them rather than others, meaning a black or Hispanic person, e.g. me.
Thirdly, the whole God wrote a dictionary, because I know people aren’t stupid and actually think that God wrote the Bible himself. The first Webster Dictionary was actually written by God way before we actually had a Webster on our shelf. I attempted to confirm this information with God, but I could not find an e-mail address, home address or a phone number. I also attempted praying, but as always, all my words went unanswered. I called a local priest and asked him about it, but he hung up on me with recognition of my voice.
Because I haven’t received word from God, or any spokesperson representing him, I have to assume that the Dictionary is out of print. So I turn to the Bible, but that says a lot of things that make no sense to me. Because we are on the subject of doing what the Bible says, I think it’s high time to sell your children off to marriage, don’t think? Back in my old blog, I reported this website. Nothing is as depraved as Christians who live by the Bible word per word. Not even gay sex is that depraved, not that I would know or anything.
But if two men, or two women, want to be as miserable as the rest of the you Lord-fearing people, I ask why not? Not to long ago, it was frowned upon if a white girl married a black man, or anyone who wasn’t a WASP for that matter. Now we’re eliminating race lines through interracial marriages and one night stands (not to mention porn, always have to mention the porn when it comes to Palin because of all those supposedly real photos of her flying around the internet).
I don’t see the problem of gay marriage and how it endangers the American family. Two men getting married doesn’t endanger my chances of getting married because I do that on my own. Besides, we’re living in a new age now, it’s time to shrug the fabrics of religion and drop them on the ground. I mean, one can believe in whatever one wants and still be able to love his/her neighbor (in any matter of they deem fit). I swear, the last reason I think we should put an damper on homosexuals getting married is religious reasons.
But my horrible dream happened last night and McCain/Palin won. The country began to crumble. The PUMA pussies were in glee that Obama lost, but were quickly put to death by Palin. Liberals had a choice, fall into place, or die. Some tried to flee to Canada but were shot on arrival as Palin used her govenor authority to line up the National Guard along the Canadian border (she did this before she was VP, by the way). After the first month, a bitter cold month that made USA look a lot like the USSR in all those propaganda films I watched in my film class, McCain was subdued by his feeble age and began to believe he was imprisoned again. Because of this, McCain was found unfit to be president and Palin took control. Iraq was quickly forgotten, along with the troops there. Palin decided to make an attack on Russian for the sole reason that she feared they would invade Alaska – because, you know, they’re so darn close. Religion was banned from the church and moved into the school yards across the United States. Her pro-life agenda did not erase abortion, but rather supplied abortionists with rusty wire hangers to do the trick. Republicans who knew Palin would screw up, ran to Mexico only to encounter the very wall they wanted built in their way. Trapped, they went into every house of every minority to steal their weapons to suicide themselves away. However, they had forgotten that the right to bear arms meant the right to bear arms if you’re a white collared American. The world became a wasteland and only a band of talented heroes stood against the Palin administration. And they were the X-Men. Oh wait. No. That was a comic book I was reading last night. Must’ve gotten mixed into my thoughts. And to think I was just about to say that her being president after McCain’s removeal caused the M’Kraan Crystal to hurl towards earth.
[Edit:] I’m sure that her deleting the blog has nothing to do with my post, but Ingrid Schlueter’s blog (the one I quoted from) has been removed for some unknown reason. I know I have no power whatsoever because I’m not a powerful person. However, again, I would like to note that my using her blog entry was in no way an attack. It’s just that she had the right words in such a way that I couldn’t pass it up. I’m not sure why Mrs. Schlueter deleted the post, but from what I read, it wasn’t a horrible post – nor was it one I can call excellent, but that’s just my bais speaking, which you shouldn’t pay no attention to. Again, this post was just some pathetic attempt for shits and giggles. I hope no one was offended by it, but if you were, then thank you. You just gave me that much more power in your world.
[Edit:] It would seem that Mrs. Schlueter’s post is back up with a disclaimer of her own. I’m unsure what the ordeal was that had remove her link from Slice, but reading the explanation, it would seem it was an ugly one with vile people – more twisted than me, I’m assuming – laid her to waste.
rating: 5 of 5 stars There probably isn't anything I can say about this book that hasn't been said already. With that said, read it if you haven't already.
