Political Games - Where the fuck’s the reset button?

Well this is just lovely. Our government is spying on us. Alright small government libertarians, you gonna complain? You going to challenge the administration? You going to go against George “Jesus Lincoln” Bush?

*crickets*

I’ll be waiting…

We’ll probably just get pathetic apologetic excuses though… “national security” and what not…

A number of years ago, I argued with a woman that the U.S. under the Patriot Act was moving towards a police state. She laughed and said if I thought this was a police state, I should move to China. But she missed my point… this is how it always starts… “security”… “protection”… and the restrictions will get worse if we don’t do something.

If you don’t want the government spying on you, whether it be for your politics or for what you and consensual others do with your genitals, stop voting Republican.

They might be having some minor success in elections, but the bigoted AFA and others like it continue to lose in their efforts to get corporate America to agree with them. And you know you’re fucked when even corporate America thinks your social issues are to the right of the mainstream.

Previously I had mentioned that Ford had reportedly caved to the AFA and planned to pull their advertising in gay media, along with a potential withdraw of support of gay rights organizations. Today, we learn that was not [or more likely, is no longer] the case. Ford is actually planneing to increase the brands advertised in gay media, and reaffirming their support of gay rights organizations and their own support of gay employees. Good job Ford. And kudos are due to John Aravosis of AmericaBLOG, the other bloggers who helped this issue along, the gay rights organizations, the employees at Ford who likely helped out, and the everyday Americans who said “no” to intolerance.

Now if only we could work on becoming more progressive than South Africa…

EDIT: I’m going to add another link, just because it kicks ass… Atrios’ post on it. The headline says it all. AFA: PWNED!!!!

Mr. “President”, you better hope your God does not exist, or you will spend eternity burning in His hell.

Q Since the inception of the Iraqi war, I’d like to know the approximate total of Iraqis who have been killed. And by Iraqis I include civilians, military, police, insurgents, translators.

THE PRESIDENT: How many Iraqi citizens have died in this war? I would say 30,000, more or less, have died as a result of the initial incursion and the ongoing violence against Iraqis. We’ve lost about 2,140 of our own troops in Iraq.

Yes.

Q Mr. President, thank you –

THE PRESIDENT: I’ll repeat the question. If I don’t like it, I’ll make it up. (Laughter and applause.) [All emphasis mine]

Oh yeah, great fucking joke you fucktard. Oh, and you bastards in the audience? Has sucking the President’s cock for the past 5 years caused your souls to be removed from your bodies?

This is the President of the United States casually admitting he is responsible, directly and indirectly, for more than 30 thousand deaths, and then telling a joke about how he makes stuff up. Oh yeah, this is even less fucking funny than that damn “Where are the WMDs? har har har” jokes from last year.

You bastard. I can’t believe I have to put up with you for 3 more years. November 4th, 2008 is already on my calendar.

I hope we can get enough substantial proof you lied intentionally; I know what you said about Iraq was incorrect, but I can’t prove that you knowingly LIED [yet]. If America ever gets that proof, watch your ass.

The GOP won’t protect you then. Nixon found that out. You will either resign or be impeached. And I hope you fight it; oh yes, I want to see your ship go down in the flames of your own creation, you dimwitted uncaring cockbite.

“They’re dead. People are dead, because of you. You killed them! You killed all the people! And you are directly responsible.”

“The decision [of who dies] was not and never will be yours to make!”

“[Killing the spider] was the easiest way. You wanted to save the butterfly, right?”
“Knives, you idiot, I wanted to save both of them!”

May your God have mercy on your pathetic excuse for a soul.
