It always seemed to me that the men who scream the loudest against gay marriage are often closeted themselves. Why do they think of gay sex so often? Why is that always the first argument they give against gay marriage? Being in love doesn’t matter, it’s that gay sex thing they just can’t stop thinking about and researching on the internet and visiting gay hangouts to study further… 
The latest example comes from GOP legislator Steve Hickey who has ignored the entirety of human existence and implies that somehow this whole gay sex thing is a new idea, and a nasty, evil, bad one at that.
Pastor Hickey (whose opponents in his district call “Doo” Hickey) calls out any doctor who claims that it’s not harmful, because obviously it is. I mean, obviously, right? It has to be! I mean, I’m no doctor, but certainly the fact that doctors aren’t telling people it’s dangerous doesn’t mean the medical community knows anything about, you know, medical stuff.
And it’s only gay anal sex that bothers him. He either is unaware that many heterosexual couples do that, too. Or else he doesn’t think that’s nasty.
Chances are he just never thinks about that, because he’s too busy thinking about those evil, nasty gay men with their chiseled buttocks just waiting for dirty gay sex to happen.
Sometimes, when we’re arguing over minimum wage or legalization of marijuana or some other issue that is important to Americans, we should sit back and realize that our problems aren’t really that big, and we have a lot more in common than we seem to.
Because when I read about absolute evil in the world, everything else seems minor in comparison. 
A radical religious group in Nigeria recently kidnapped over two hundred girls whose crime it had been to want to learn. These schoolgirls offended these fanatic’s views, so now these innocent children are being sold into slavery and forced into “marriages”.
These animals have killed thousands over the past few years as they attempt to cleanse the world of the unbelievers. If you saw this in a movie, you’d think it would be far-fetched.
I may rant and rail against religious conservatives in America who want to force their religious laws on the rest of us, but that is so minor compared to evil of this type.
It just makes me depressed for humanity, as I realize how young humans are and how far we have to go.
So why aren’t people more outraged? Why isn’t this the main story on the news? Do you think if this had happened in Europe or Australia we would have heard more about it? A plane that crashed has gotten more airtime than this…
Republicans greatly favor background checks. They want to make it harder for people to exercise one of their most basic fundamental Constitutional rights. However, the courts have once again struck down their attempts in a blow against freedom.
I mean, come on, it’s not like I’m talking about guns here where there should be no restrictions whatsoever as to who can buy one. Voting requires extreme background checks! 
Republicans decided a while ago that since they have trouble getting a majority of votes in many places, the best thing to do is cheat. And they’re not even subtle about it, since many have been caught stating very clearly that their goals are to keep Democrats from voting.
Fortunately, the courts — even ones dominated by Republicans — have seen through the charade. Here in Pennsylvania a few days ago, the Court refused to stay an earlier decision striking down our voting registration law, and Wisconsin and Arkansas had similar decisions in the last few days.
I know nothing about professional sports, and had never heard of Donald Sterling until this weekend. Seems he said some blatantly racist (and sexist) remarks that were recorded and now everyone is demanding that he resign. He’s losing sponsors and otherwise feeling the heat.
So, of course, the first thing the right wing does when faced with a racist in their midst is to run away and disown him. They tried to do that with last week’s racist, Clive Bundy, and now they’re doing the same with Donald Sterling, except this time they’re using the old technique of lying through their teeth. 
“He’s a Democrat!” claimed the right wing blogosphere, pointing out that he had donated some money to former Basketball player Bill Bradley’s campaign many years ago.
That’s it. That’s basically the evidence.
Which is contradicted by the easily verifiable search of voter registration records showing him as a long-time registered Republican.
Am I implying that all racists are Republicans? Of course not, and don’t try to put words into my mouth. And I know that most Republicans are not liars.
But I’m damned tired of loudmouths on the right spreading lies, while responsible Republicans remain silent and refuse to call them out on it.
