Apparently the homosexualist agenda is more devious than I previously expected!

The Left Hates America…Says the Neo-Secessionist
This is exactly the kind of person that really pisses me off. In an unfortunate turn of events for my IQ, I came across his MySpace blog while doing a Google search for someone on the far-right with whom to have a rational debate. Not surprisingly, I suppose, such people don’t seem to exist: all of their blog pages seem to be exactly like this.
Does anyone else notice how the self-prolcaimed “patriot” — like many of his brethren — has the flag of the Confederacy in his background? Apparently there are more people than I’d care to believe who are stupid enough to think that one can be both a neo-secessionist and “pro-America”.
According to him and the rest of the far-right, the only way to prevent the “encroachment” of “inferior cultures” is through “intelligent and traditionalist conservative dialogue” (how many contradictions can you fit into one sentence, really?).
In his status updates, he claims that, “Obama = Lenin = Stalin = Hitler… What is that spook doing?” According to Godwin’s Law, he loses. At everything. Unfortunately for thinking people, it seems that it’s not just him who buys into this kind of whackjobbery perpetuated by right-wing pundits — like Limbaugh.
I could go in-depth about the not-at-all subtle differences between the Democratic Party (on the center-left) and Marxist-Leninism (on the far-left), and the differences and outright hatred between Communists and Nazis, but this douche is clearly a gigantic waste of time.
More on Pro-America
I wish the American media would take a great look at the views of the people in Congress and find out, are they pro-America, or anti-America. I tihnk people would love to see an expose like that.
- Representative Michele Bachmann (R-MN)
I forgot to mention, in my last post about this, this comment from Representative Michele Bachmann of Minnesota. This comment, from a woman who banned Aladdin from being shown in a charter school in Minnesota because she thought it promoted “paganism and witchcraft”, is reminiscent of the McCarthy era, when the civil liberties of Americans were ignored in a pathetic, frantic, and — in the end — entirely fabricated search for “un-American Communists”.
There is currently a petition underway to censure her. I’d encourage people to sign it.
The Real America
Ever since Sarah Palin’s comments about the “real America” and the “pro-America” parts of America, I started paying more attention to these sorts of utterings from the GOP. I had been hoping that it would be limited to Sarah Palin, or perhaps even a few on the fringes of the party, but, of course, I was disappointed.
On Monday I went to see the Daily Show live. That show was glorious, both because it was hilarious and because it was filled with with righteous fury about Palin’s recent comments. What really surprised me, however, was a comment from one of McCain’s staff members which referred to the “real Virginia”, as opposed to the fake, Democratic, part of Virginia.
Then one of my friends pointed me towards an apology that had to be made by a North Carolina Republican congressman. At a McCain rally he said to the crowd:
…liberals hate real Americans that work and accomplish and achieve and believe in God.
Of course, this is even more offensive than the remarks made by Sarah Palin. I suppose he was at least more upfront about what he meant, however. In his apology remarks he said this:
there is no doubt that it came out completely the wrong way.
Quite honestly, it doesn’t matter how it “came out”. What matters is the sentiment behind the words, and his sentiments were this:
1. Liberals are not “real Americans”
2. Liberals do not believe in God
3. Liberals do not work or accomplish things
4. Liberals hate people who believe in God
I don’t really consider myself a liberal, but I have no doubt that I fit into his ignorant definition of one, and, quite frankly, none of these implied or explicit statements apply to me. I believe in God and attend religious services weekly, I work hard and have accomplished any number of things of meaning to myself and those around men, I have a great apprecation for people who believe in God (as well as for those who don’t believe in God), and I am a real American.
The fact that this theme has crept up in the past few days is, quite frankly, terrifying.
I have a lot more to say about this, but I have a midterm tomorrow/later today for which I haven’t finished studying quite yet.
Yes We Can; But So Could They

This about summarizes how I, as a religious person, feel about the whole gay thing. Click the image for a larger version.
This piece ran in the Commentariat, the Spectator opinion blog.
Last night, when I found out Barack Obama had won, I was ecstatic. I ran out of my dorm with my friends and we, and probably 200 other Columbia students, marched up to Harlem to watch the last few minutes of Obama’s speech.
But when I got back to my computer and television, I was horribly disappointed. The ban on gay marriage in Florida had passed, the ban on gay marriage in Arizona had passed, the ban on gay marriage in California had passed, and the ban on gay adoption in Arkansas had passed. Al Franken looked like he was going to lose to Norm Coleman, and convicted felon Ted Stevens was ahead by three points in Alaska (my friend has vowed to start donating to the Alaskan Independence Party so that incubator of corrupt and incompetant politicians will leave us alone and take their two corrupt Republican senators with them).
I know I should be happy. My friends keep telling me that Barack Obama will be good for gay people. And “at least it’s not McCain”. And yet, for the past eight years — for nearly half of my lifetime — my countrymen have been voting to stop me from having equal rights.
