Fairies in My Garden, or Why The Religious Right Can Eat Me

Kathryn is writing an argumentative paper on the moral and the governmental, and where they perhaps intersect and diverge. We jammed for a while on the rightness or wrongness of gay marriage, concluding that there is little room for doubt--no shit sherlock! Love is love is love between two consenting adults.

Yes, republicans = anti-fun.

I agree.

[katieponders]

True. Need the kabash put on your local sources of fun? Just call 1-800-RepublicanPartypoopers

How about Pat Robertson who claimed that 9/11 happened because God is punishing us for gays and feminists? Theres a level-headed fellow who knows what hes talking about. ::Rolls eyes::

Yeah, uh...
I don't know if he's playin' with a full deck. Couple ants shy of a picnic. A few crayons shy of a Crayola Big Box. Elevator doesn't go all the way to the top. The lights are on, but nobody's home.

You get the idea.

What really puts a bee in my bonnet is the average, everyday conservatives. Frankly, I think that "issues" such as abortion, gay marraige, and the like are just about the most minor things that are covered by politics. What about fucking POVERTY? Did you know that the conservative viewpoint of social welfare services (government services to help the poor, the disabled, and basically anyone else who needs it) is ... that they are unnecessary? The conservatives do not believe in homeless shelters, the conservatives do not believe in free clinics, the conservatives are against public schooling, the conservatives do not support minimum wage laws or health standard laws. CONSERVATIVE THEORY states that by helping the *rich*, we help everybody. Conservative theory has a lot of weight vested in Noblesse Oblige, the theory that the rich will help the poor out of their (literally) Noble hearts. Take a long, prying look at history. When was this ever true? It hasn't ever worked and it won't ever work

exactly the way i feel drew, religion is quite ironic/hypocritical.

anyway...
whats the point of me worrying about gay marrige if im not gay? whats the point of me worrying about abortions if i cant get one? whats the point of me worrying about our asshat presiden if theres nothing i can do to get rid of him?

PREACH ON, BROTHA DREW! ::applauds wildly::

You have said everything I've been thinking for the last few hours and more, and you shall have many cookies as soon as I find out how to get them to you. ::snugs::

the anti-liberal (and therefore anti-anything fun or diverse)

Hell yes. I love you Katie!

[katieponders]

I know. Medals can be sent to my Arizona Residence, as well as chocolate, furry animals and any other congratulatory gift you or anyone else can think of. OOH! And itchy stuff so I can implement my curse on the scary Republicans!

[killerqueen86]

YOU. CALL. ME.

[katieponders]

Yes, ma'am!
