OH I LOVES ME SOME SELF RIGHTEOUSNESS

So, of the 3 people who have linked to this I had someone comment on JUST HOW WRONG I AM, and he damn near did a godwin.

While I do want to give this guy a hug for being a democrat to the bone, I want to use his comments to illustrate exactly WHY I AM SO FUCKING TIRED OF THIS BULLSHIT.

I understand he is not representative of the average democratic party member, his sentence structure is too complex.
If we wait to do any good thing until it does not galvanize the wingnuts, we will never do that thing. In this case, the good thing is the establishment of legal safeguards for a basic human right. Did we let, say, George Wallace decide when African Americans were allowed to participate fully in American society? No, of course not. Why should this be any different?
While I admire the fact you clearly read one of my previous posts, I am going to have to stop you right there. Don't retreat to a vaguely parallel argument and argue from there, it is intellectually flaccid and simply not a valid avenue of discussion. Civil Rights was its own beast and while minorities in both cases are involved, the gap is simply too large.

I am talking about a set of judges who could have AT ANY TIME reviewed this ruling instead allowed the enticing concept of judicial activism to take over, and here we are 2008 and making headlines. I will also point out that the previous ruling of this sort occurred in Massachusetts in 2004 DO YOU SEE A FUCKING PATTERN OCCURRING.
I received a list email this week from a local Democratic political consultant who says Obama will lose the election for Democrats because there are too many people who will never vote for an African American. I disagree strongly with this man, but suppose hypothetically that he is right: where are our obligations? and what would the effect be of not nominating Sen. Obama because he is Black?
Again with the parallel argument. BLACK PEOPLE ARE NOT HOMOSEXUALS, JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE BOTH MINORITIES DOES NOT ALLOW YOU TO FREELY COMPARE THE TWO GROUPS, IN FACT I AM PRETTY SURE THEY ARE BOTH FUCKING TIRED OF IT IF I HAD TO GUESS.

There is a difference between moral obligations and exploiting a hot topic in order to frame the talking points. This is divisive and smells like politics, just because it happens to actually be the right thing to do does not make it politics
I think you see where I'm going with this: we cannot forsake our obligation to do the right thing because it is inconvenient or even painful in the short term. The same is true of gay marriage. Will establishing same-sex marriage galvanize the wingnuts? It does not matter: we must advocate it anyway, if we wish to be able to look at ourselves in the mirror.
Now I respect that you have a very nice looking horse there but I am going to have to ask you to get off. That was a really nice line for a speech but I need you to put on your thinking cap and realize when you are being yanked around by some self serving politics. Gay marriage is OBVIOUSLY the right thing to do, but just because some asshat in an election year says "jump I have a good cause" does not mean you need to reply "how high"

i hate you all

GOD FUCKING DAMMIT CALIFORNIA

Yes, gays ARE awesome. We know this. Fuck, even the GOP likes Elton John. However I am still required to say : GOD FUCKING DAMMIT CALIFORNIA.

WE TRIED THIS. DOES ANYONE REMEMBER 2004? ANYBODY? YOU HAVE GIVEN THE GOP SO MUCH CONSERVATIVE TRACTION NOBODY IS GOING TO CARE THAT WE SPEND THE GDP OF ECUADOR EVERY FUCKING DAY IN IRAQ.

WHO IS PUTTING A DICK IN WHAT IS THE LAST FUCKING THING THIS COUNTRY NEEDS TO WORRY ABOUT. (NOBODY CARES EXCEPT FOR THE REPRESSED HOMOSEXUALS ANYWAY)

I am for man and fruit marriages, despite the famous case of Johnson V Cantaloupe when Johnson was required to pay alimony to a CANTALOUPE.

So since i am such a problem solving visionary we are going to fix this schoolyard style. NEXT ONE TO BRING UP SAME SEX MARRIAGES IS A FAGGY FAGGY GAY WAD DICK BUTT.

There. Shut up you smoke screen running economy ruining love hating truth hiding red state tax avoiding economy draining coors lite chugging bastards. you are truly BASTARDS for judging love between any fruit and vegetable. If a pygmy moth wanted to marry a cauliflower you would let it happen if it meant profits you sycophantic corporate sluts. I hope someone goes V for Vendetta on your asses.

Still now that I have some of the shouting out of my system, California, sit down. You have the best of intentions but why they always happen to surface every four years is making me scratch my head a little. You could have tried this a while ago before a critical election was on the horizon and you could have made your point when superdelegates were not getting so many superblowjobs since they are supercitizens who make superdecisions that outweigh us. Remember, even though it is popular does not make it the right thing to do.

I am sure I will be called a centrist, or receive new hatemail from the "True Left" (seriously keep it coming you hilarious wanna be communists but are too busy smoking weed to care about anything but a blog, really, your opinion matters to me)

The simple fact is I LIKE TO WIN. And, since the people who are really going to get pissed about this post are the ones who are still stoned and just got up from a three's company marathon I will break down the situation for you: The economy is fucking tanking, and unless we hold the bastards who did this to THE ECONOMY (oh fuck i didn't even talk about the brave young and women who are being killed for no fucking reason) THE ECONOMY is going to take a good part of America's tough as nails hold on with your teeth fuck your credit card offer middle class with it. Congratulations you just founded a caste system, don't you feel like a fuck.

Hugs are great, but you sissies want to make it a central item of conversation for an election BAD FUCKING IDEA. HOW ABOUT WE ARGUE USING THE ECONOMY THAT THE GOP RAN INTO THE GROUND LIKE AN EARLY 90s FAD. THE ECONOMY HAS NUMBERS TO BACK ITSELF UP AND UNLESS YOU CAN GIVE ME AN EQUATION THAT READS

Same sex marriages = happy fun time
happy fun time = increase in consumer confidence

I DO NOT FUCKING CARE, BRING IT UP IN A YEAR NOT DIVISIBLE BY 4.
