You know what

There are mindless drones on both sides of the political spectrum. For every brain dead FOX News quoter there is a naive protestor with unquestioning faith in CNN. I'm not totally biased against the idea of a conservative government. I know there is a time and place for everything. My problem is in the religiously charged nonsense that has ruined countries for thousands of years (yes, long before the catholic church even existed people were being persecuted, let's not place all the blame in one place!)

My problem with the whole Prop. 8 fiasco right now, beyond my own personal beliefs of human equality, is that these forever hypocritical GOPers can sit there with smug faces calling President Obama a socialist(or condemn his practices as such) while donating their money to bullshit Proposition 8 Support groups (money that they turn around and bitch about being "over taxed") that actively oppress a minority group. How is THAT fair and just? Is THAT what freedom is, the ability to dehumanize people who practice things you, in your holy righteousness, don't agree with?

I love the signs that read along the lines of "Protect Marriage, Outlaw Divorce". They sum it up PERFECTLY. The majority of married couples in this country deface the "sacred union" every day with divorce, affairs, and domestic abuse. How dare these people stand in their pulpits telling us that WE are shameful, that WE are misled, and that WE are the source of evils in the world. Who is some ignorant man or woman in rural Utah to speak about the relation that two men or two women in California? NOBODY. Just like I have no place to say that shot gun weddings and socially acceptable marriages are ok or not ok (they end up speaking for themselves sooner or later). The issue here is so black and white, it is incredible how much grey some people have managed to inject into it.

Personally, I don't need anybody, let alone people I've never met, to tell me my feelings for another person are acceptable or okay. If I love somebody, I love them. I don't really understand why so many homosexuals care to be a part of the tradition of marriage in the first place (even though I'm sure I'll end up getting married, I'm just saying that it is an after action of already being in love).

And you know what, fuck the politics, the only groups who is REALLY at liberty to decide how they want to define marriage are the churches. This is really a no brainer on both sides of the spectrum. If I go to a catholic church with Scott Henley and they tell us to fuck off then I'm going to say "well, fuck em too. I don't want to be a part of that kind of bullshit anyways". If we get in the car and drive down the street to a unitarian church and they say "word! we're down, lets make it happen." Then who the fuck is the Government to step in and say "ahh...no"? Theres this crazy little thing called the Constitution of the United States of America that perfectly outlines these things and the people who are trying to use it as ammunition are the ones who are contradicting it.

wow. rant over
