2011 Anal-Ocity #19

OK, we off and running….give a politician a platform and he will say some really moronic stuff….and then give him a microphone and a way we go….anal statement after anal statement….

Yep, gays are on the news again….first it was DADT and now it is the DOMA…when the fiscal policy should be foremost on the minds of ALL politicians we get social issues on top of social issues…ranting and raving about abortions or marriage or whatever drives their petite thoughts….

The new anal statement is from Texas Repub, Lamar Smith…..when discussing DOMA he said……

“No one can seriously believe that the constitution’s authors intended to create a right to same-sex marriage,”

My readers know that whenever a politician invokes the Founders I have to say something…..Smith does NOT speak for the Founders….none of these so-called constitutionalists do……if anyone needs to weigh in (not saying they do) it should be the Supreme Court…but that aside my opinion is just as valid as Smith (he may make more cash off of corporations than I) but our opinions are of equal weight…..and I think the Founders did not think about any of this they had much more important things to worry about like the start of a new country….maybe Smith and his band of crazies need to keep that in mind and start working on the continuation of the country of the Founders….Just a thought!

The Chuck Weighs In

Remember the Huck and Chuck show of the 2008  elections?  Huckabee and his ever faithful side kick Chuck Norris…..well our boy in infomercials has made a statement about sharia law….well have not most of the right wing nuts made a statement about sharia law?

Chuck Norris stands ready to defend the country, promising to deliver a roundhouse kick to “radical Islamists” who would “use the freedoms in our Constitution to expand the influence of Shariah law.”  But first he felt he had to make a statement about the first amendment…..

“First, let me categorically state that I’m not an Islamaphobe,” wrote Norris. “I welcome the plurality of religions in America and am a firm believer in the First Amendment. But just as our religious freedom is secured in the Bill of Rights, so is our freedom of speech to share even our religious concerns.”

Once he made that non-racist racist statement he went on to say……(that was kinda like the racist that says, “some of my friends are black”)…….

“In the end, it seems to me we have a choice to believe that Shariah law is, or is not, a pro-Islamic system of civic, religious, moral and social laws, which is being used to run other countries and governments but is not being (nor ever will be) invoked to run ours, based upon the belief that our constitutional republic and Bill of Rights is inferior.”

So Walker has jumped on the looney wagon with the concern that sharia law will become thew law of the land….did I miss something?  I have seen NO evidence that sharia law is ever being used in the US….of course, other than the dipsticks on the radical right that want us to believe that it is…..

My daughter and friends tell me that I should not take any of this fecal matter to heart….but you know if they were not so blatantly stupid I might ignore them….but there is a little old man sitting on his porch in Willacoochie, Mississippi that will believe that sharia law will take over and we will be in the throes of Islam by tomorrow night….IT IS A LIE….and all lies need to be challenged….and that is what I am doing challenging Walker on his assertion…..What is he really afraid of….maybe it is that NO one will remember him for anything other than an infomercial.

Stalin Would Be Proud!

From the VOMITORIUM

I am weary of analogies….especially when they are erroneous…….

We all have heard the chatter and the ranting about this socialist thing or that communist person….he acts like Stalin or that he/she thinks like Marx….there seems to be much of the manufactured stories flying all around the web and especially on the blog-a-sphere…..

But there are few things happening that would make the despicable dictator like Stalin swell with pride…..one such happening is the current situation in Michigan….

Michigan’s new governor, Rick Synder has stepped into a pile of bovine fecal matter…..

Snyder recently signed a bill that gives him powers to unilaterally take over local governments by appointing “emergency financial managers” with near absolute powers to supersede decisions made by democratically elected officials.

Snyder just made Orwellian Tea Party history when his appointed “emergency financial manager” for Benton Harbor, Michigan, prohibited elected officials of that city from making any decisions or otherwise carrying out their duties.

As an outraged Michigan blogger observes:

This is a complete disenfranchisement of an entire community, an entire city in my state. The voters are now denied the ability to be governed by the people they elected in a democratic election.

This is nothing short of an abridgment of democracy in raw form.

After all the sign pumping about patriotism and democracy and government intervention….where are those crazy right wing nuts on this situation?

Sorry, but I do want to burst people’s bubble…but if you want analogy (it seems many cannot live without them) then the action by Snyder is straight out of a playbook of Stalin and his rush to control every aspect of Russian life and governance….I want these loud mouth people on the Right to call out the people in their own movement as quickly as they condemn others…..
