Just Now…
… I just threw up a little in my mouth.
You know how tired I am of all the extreme bipartisan bullsh*t? If you’re a democrat, it means you want to kill babies. If you’re a republican, it means you’re a soulless fascist. There is no one presenting even a remotely balanced platform, and it makes me want to punch people right in the head.
AND, then there’s all the ridiculous vernacular. The buzz words the identify people. The Left says "Pro-Choice and Anti-Choice," the Right says "Pro-Life and Pro-Abortion." I think it’s pretty safe to say that there is no one in the world who is "Pro-Abortion."
But that’s not my particular bonnet bee today.
I just read this article about Mitt Romney losing a prominent Baptist endorsement. Okay. Fine. They referred to Evangelical endorsements, Conservative endorsements. Fine. Okay.
Then they talked about the Values Voters Summit, and I decided I had to set things on fire. People included in the Values Voters Summit are the fundamentalist Christian university Bob Jones University (right here in Greenville… they hate Catholics (me)… and pretty much everyone), and Evangelical Baptists, among others.
I hate all this "values" talk. Those people sure as crap don’t share my values. But they’ve painted a big sign that says "Republicans have family values and you bleeding heart liberals hate families and want to hack them into tiny pieces with big machetes and then take a crap on them." "Values voters" my ass. We are all "values voters." We vote according to our individual set of values. Or we would if there were anyone out there who would be willing to represent real person values instead of overblown cartoon villain values. What, because I’m more liberal than conservative, my family isn’t important to me? Clearly a solid piece of logic.
So here’s the thing: you can keep your damn family values. I’ve got my own.
This bit of venom brought to you by the fact that we didn’t get any down time between the midterms and the presidential race. Give us a break already!
