gay marriage all the rage among monogamous gays
So, let me get this straight (ha ha, get it? Oh, well maybe you will after you read the rest of the post). As I was saying, let me get this straight: If I’m a conservative, I believe that the government should mind its own business, unless it’s to legislate or amend the constitution regarding things that don’t apply to me because of my beliefs. In those cases, say gay marriage or abortion, etc., I’m all, “Go Big Government!” But when it comes to gun control and taxes and the United Nations, I say, “Keep the government small and let the people decide. Hey, where’s my Confederate flag lapel pin?”
Do I have that right? Anyone? Can anyone explain to me how allowing gay people to marry hurts anyone else? Can anyone explain to me how opposing gay marriage isn’t simply homophobia that’s not even well-disguised?
I’m issuing a reward (a free gay wedding) to anyone who has information leading to a reasonable explanation for being against same-sex marriage.

The image of a same-sex union threatens the conservative’s young and impressionable children. Because, according to them, gay is not something you’re born with, it’s a learned trait from watching too many John Waters movies and listening to Tegan and Sarah. Gayness rubs off on people. It’s best to pretend that they don’t exist which is hard when gays are allowed to get married and these impressionable children can see them registering for gifts at Target. Or see them holding hands in a movie theatre with their matching wedding bands.

Oh Erasure!
Here’s my question (because I think people in love actually do harm the world mainly because I fear human touch for myself and others and everyone should be considerate of my feelings) what is up with this whole “HE’S A SOCIALIST” thing and yet we use taxpayer dollars to float the credit biz? Oh and since when is spreading the wealth a bad thing? And also, maybe it’s time you leave California and move to Oregon. I’m looking for a Kiala trade.

Interesting tidbit: Erasure? Huge NRA enthusiasts. Weird, right?
No, I made that up.
People accusing Obama of being a Socialist don’t know what that word means; they’re just stuck on the McCain/Palin talking points. Colbert rebuked it best a week or two ago when he had the actual Socialist Party presidential candidate on his show.
Anyone who thinks Obama is a Socialist should ask an actual Socialist.
As for moving to Oregon: ok! It’s probably going to happen, but who knows when. I left because there were no jobs for me, so I can’t imagine it’s better now.

Oh, and I don’t think I’d be a suitable replacement for Kiala. It’d be like losing Chrissy and getting Terry.

Look, as long as she buys me cocktails and hands me prescription meds, she can wear shoes on her head and dance the marcarena on top of Powell’s and I’ll be happy indeed.
ANYTHING to keep Portland non-”weird”.

She will buy you cocktails, but she’s a little stingy with the meds. And it’s not so much crazy “hey hey” as it is crazy “hmm what?”
Does that make sense?

Hmmm what? Hey Hey! No matter. I’m very upset at California right now and thinking they owe me one or two, big time. Me and the gays.
