Tell Congress you oppose the “marriage” amendment to our Constitution. I did….<\/p>\n
How dare you try to amend our Constitution to discriminate against any American citizen? How dare you appeal to hate? How dare you use God <\/em>for this! <\/p>\n This is so low, so hypocritical. You won’t dabate Iraq, but you WILL debate this?<\/p>\n Is this what you have left to say about “compassionate conservatism”? You’ve let pseudo-christian dominionists (otherwise known as supremacists) gain too much power in our process because you think hate will motivate enough votes that the rigged elections can be rationalized. <\/p>\n These people want to bring back stoning! In America! They are wayyy too concerned with how to control other people. It won’t stop with this – gays aren’t the only people they hate. They want to put women “back in the box” as well, and they are training the children just like little Hitler youth with their home-schooling programs. Some even speak of a return to slavery.<\/p>\n But that’s not even what it’s about, is it? Because in addition to payback to the terrorist christian right – remember these are the people who incited to murder, bombed clinics, etc – this is really about<\/em> something else. <\/p>\n It’s about insurance. You want to nip that “alternative family insurance” movement in the bud. You know, at the behest of the people who wrote the laws for the prescription drug “benefit”? It wouldn’t look good to talk about poor grandma raising her grandchildren, or the single moms or dads doing the best the can. Noooooo….you have to find that bigotry that remains, and work it, baby, work it. <\/p>\n Meanwhile, the dollar seems (to me at least) ready to plummet, Iraq is a disaster, Iran is about to become a disaster, Halliburton and ExxonMobil walk off with our money, and you don’t think there are any monuments in New York so you’re cutting homeland security funds. People are dying, people are hurting. There are parts of America that are as poor as any third-world nation, but you’re in bed with crony corporatists (when you don’t have prostitutes or long-term buddies from college to sleep with and promote). <\/p>\n You want to lecture us about morality? You want to use our<\/em> own constitution for power, for hate? You have profoundly misunderstood the nature of this country. This country belongs to WE THE PEOPLE.<\/p>\n You’ve handed power to the executive branch. You’ve destroyed our country. You’ve taken our future. Keep going, and you’ll be showing up for photo ops in your hoods or uniforms or whatever. <\/p>\n The Nazis had their scapegoats too. You fundamentalists have lost Yes I confess this deep deep flaw, The evil that your “god” incites I name you and yours false prophets Tell Congress you oppose the “marriage” amendment to our Constitution. I did…. How dare you try to amend our Constitution to discriminate against any American citizen? How dare you appeal to hate? How dare you use God for this! This is so low, so hypocritical. You won’t dabate Iraq, but you WILL debate this? Is this what you have left to say about “compassionate conservatism”? You’ve let pseudo-christian dominionists (otherwise known as supremacists) gain too much power in our process…<\/p>\n
\nShame on you. Shame on you. Shame on you.<\/p>\n
\nthe thing most fundamental.
\nPharasees again, in code
\nhave lost or burned the message.
\nYou fanatics worship manmade creeds
\nthat will undo us all
\nAnd YOU, you terrorists of all religions
\nyour gods will make us fall.<\/p>\n
\nthis remnant of rigidity,
\nscar-tissue of self-righteousness,
\ntorn open yet again.
\nYet one must speak from where one stands
\nand this is what I know,
\nI have no room left in my heart
\nfor love toward you to grow.<\/p>\n
\nin you and o’er the world,
\nstains for all time our histories,
\nwe all pay for your sins.
\nI guard compassion jealously
\nheld selfish in reserve
\nfor the ones you hurt so deeply
\nand whose stories aren’t heard.<\/p>\n
\nbecause you do define the phrase,
\nyou lead the would-be faithful
\nalways far and further astray.
\nPlacing demon masks
\non the faces of our kin,
\nundoing all the fragile good
\nthat lets us breathe again. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
