" Blow, winds, and crack your cheeks! rage! blow!
You cataracts and hurricanoes, spout
Till you have drench'd our steeples, drown'd the cocks!
You sulphurous and thought-executing fires,
Vaunt-couriers to oak-cleaving thunderbolts,
Singe my white head! And thou, all-shaking thunder,
Smite flat the thick rotundity o' the world!
Crack nature's moulds, an germens spill at once,
That make ingrateful man! "
- King Lear , Act 3, Scene 2
Another one I have been putting off blogging about. Politics is just getting too real out there as we get closer and closer to the election. It has just been easier to just go all ostrich in the sand and focus only on sports. I watched Sports Center instead of This Week and Meet the Press on Sunday. Rare for me.
Obama and the Gays
Good Lord, fellas... have a cocktail already, ya'll are working my last gay nerve. From P-town to WeHo, the glbt set is just about to go all double conniption out there, You would think it was raining on the Dinah Shore or something. It is a righteous anger, don't get me wrong, but I swear, there are grown up men ( and it really does seem to be mostly men ) who are pulling a two year old in the frozen food aisle , just laying down and kicking....
Things have not moved anywhere near fast enough with the Obama administration, and in two cases , the Obama DOJ is actively working against us. Bad and worse. " I'm cutting off the ATM machine!" cries the well coiffed homo!" We will vote them out! ". " No More Mr. Nice Gay! " - Well, I said that one, but it was just about New York where a glbt vote really can have some impact, not like ... 99% of the rest of the country.
Here is the deal folks : They have us by the shortest of short hairs, really. The Democratic party is the only game in town for us, end of story. Yeah, yeah, yeah, the pink underbelly GOP and it's gay enablers can trot out all the Laura Bushs and that McCain child and all the starched Log Cabiners it wants too, does not change the fact that it is wholly owned by the hard core far, far right wing Christianist movement. Really.
You want to see how SUPER fast things can go from frying pan to fryer ? The hoods will come off those tea baggers right after they say their oath, and us and the Mexicans are #1 and #2 on their lists. You watch how fast Mr. Mitt - I'm-not-really-from-New England goes right of Sarah and her coven that first snowy day in Iowa. " I hated the gays before hating them was cool".. rally that energized base.
We are on the right side of history on this one, and SO! not to sound like the HRC or any of those types, but this time patience is a virtue. Calm down folks, as everyone is saying these days : " things are going to get better". Focus that anger you are feeling towards something positive. President Obama is not doing everything he could, but he is NOT the enemy.
