The Homosexual Agenda

Rant of the day:

The American psyche is so fucked. We have this romanticized notion of the individual. It’s part of our history: the cowboy, the pioneer, the explorer. Except it’s a fucking fairytale. This fetishization of American exceptionalism doesn’t help either. We’ve been told we’re great just because, yet no one spouting that inane rhetoric neither bothers looking at our past nor at our present. We spent a better part of the 20th century realizing that there was no weakness in taking care of each other. And then Bush fulfilled Reagan’s dream and we’ve now decided that placing the needs of those who have the most above those that have the least is not only the best policy, but is somehow morally preferable. The hero to be emulated used to be the person who worked hard, supported their family, and succeeded. Now it’s the venture capitalist that makes a quick buck, regardless of who it affects. It’s why this upcoming election is going to prove so crucial. In a way we are being asked what kind of country we want to be through the nominee we vote for. Who we want to emulate most. Obama may be deeply imperfect, but when compared to the amorphous blob of moral convictions and deification of the wealthy that is Mitt Romney, I hope this country decides that we need to keep going with the former.

Mitt Romney, seen here threatening your sick grandma, thinks we have way too many teachers, firefighters, and cops in the country.

Romney said of Obama, “he wants another stimulus, he wants to hire more government workers. He says we need more fireman, more policeman, more teachers. Did he not get the message of Wisconsin? The American people did. It’s time for us to cut back on government and help the American people.”

…..

This time, however, Romney deserves points for honesty: He has forthrightly declared that the class of government workers holding back other Americans does include cops, firefighters and teachers. And in so doing, he has singlehandedly reframed the debate from one over despised government bureaucrats to one over whether we should hire more cops, firefighters and teachers to get the economy going. This is a debate the White House will be happy to have.

It’s rare that a Republican comes out and actually lets people know they fantasize about destroying the middle class, attacking the people that enrich and protect our local communities, and pay for the economic disasters that they createdon the backs of the working class.

Found this whilst Googling Mitt Romney.

But despite the spirited battle between Mitt Romney and a succession of challengers, turnout as a percentage of the eligible voting population is down, and the states where turnout is up are often those that allow Democrats and independents to vote in Republican contests.

Analysts said that Mr. Romney has had particular trouble energizing urban and suburban voters — typically moderates and swing voters — who would be vital to him against Mr. Obama. Less-than-robust turnout in the primaries from those areas in states like Florida and Michigan, analysts said, suggests a challenge for Mr. Romney in energizing independents and the less conservative components of the Republican electorate.

In other news, due largely in part to the Right’s war on women, President Obama has opened a comfortable lead in key swing states over Mittens Romney.

Walking Wall Street suit, serial flip flopper, and all around turdburger Mittens Romeny is a big fan of the Republican assault on women:

1. He’s going to ‘get rid of’ Planned Parenthood.

2. Romney supports the Blunt Amendment

3. Romney is fighting a covert battle against contraception

4. Romney failed to condemn Rush Limbaugh’s characterization of Sandra Fluke as a “slut.”

5. Romney supports restricting access to abortion.
