Beth, we need to find you ...I love fierce Beth! :)<br /><br />Beth, we need to find you a few new family members. Sometimes you seem outnumbered. What a hole that one had. I think you were pretty nice all things considered.<br /><br />They can believe what they want to, that is protected speech. They cannot spread hatred and incite discrimination and violence against others, that's not protected action.<br /><br />I think they have become this way because they know their days are numbered. If it isn't today or tomorrow, next year or this decade, it will happen, and probably in their lifetime. They feel trapped and afraid, caged. At least that's my thinking on their insane behavior.Kyle Leachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13369076904327452139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-736448434152217111.post-36589469431783366422010-10-12T23:11:52.929-04:002010-10-12T23:11:52.929-04:00We will not prevail if we do not speak up.We will not prevail if we do not speak up.Ken Richeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425810816600512504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-736448434152217111.post-41494884130848822442010-10-12T12:03:34.419-04:002010-10-12T12:03:34.419-04:00Way to go, girl!

I've got a couple of people who have told me lately that I lost their readership because I've gotten too snarky, that my posts are "unbalanced" politically. HELLO! This ain't CNN, people! Could it be they have no idea how violent their rhetoric sounds? How seditious? How racist? How dangerous? And, then, on my own blog where I express my own opinions, I'm not being NICE enough?<br /><br />I love this post and thanks for kickin' it up a notch! I wrote on Palladino, too.

Thanks for this post. I am glad you are on...Beth. Thanks for this post. I am glad you are on our side! You are fierce, woman! FIERCE!<br />And I love it. :)<br />I am right with you on this one. I am tired of letting these people say what they want, raise all kids of hate and bigotry spread it around, and be allowed to say they are "protecting the American people" from undesirables...who also seem to be American people. But that doesn't matter. I guess if you belong to an "undesirable" group, you lose your citizenship and therefore the protection of our Constitution?<br />Well, I am with you Beth. We have to stand up and say, "I don't think so, fucktard!" <br />Love ya!Stan in NHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09473396450228240345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-736448434152217111.post-79568333661669867322010-10-11T09:17:50.056-04:002010-10-11T09:17:50.056-04:00I love your blog! Paladino is a selfish rich dude...I love your blog! Paladino is a selfish rich dude that will do anything he can to get himself in a position of power to not pay taxes just like the rest of the tea baggers want. I do not have children yet 35 percent of my income goes to taxes why can the billionaires in this country do the same? Is it because too much government or because their wealth is secure by an army that we all benefit from but that they specially enjoy? The upper class can pay taxes just as the rest of us do yet they are so used to the goodies that the Bush regime gave them and now they can spend millions of dollars sponsoring Tea Baggers bull shit? The sad part about that is that Tea Baggers do not get the fact that they are being fucked royally if their politicians get a hold of Washington. Even their scooters are for grabs if the Angles’ make it to the Hills.<br /><br />You commenting on this is similar to me getting infuriated over the Get Equal campaign that is enforcing not standing behind the Dems because DOMA and DADT has not been in the president’s agenda lately. Do they fucking read the news? We have gone beyond a cultural war, we are now on the worst class struggle that humanity has to face. With the Supreme Court decision to let the rich infiltrate on the political process. Karl Rove is having a field day. <br /><br />But back to Paladino, he accuses Cuomo to Parade on gay pride but did he ever mention to his friends there that he does drag? I feel sad for those that buy his bollogny? Have they asked him if there is a difference between dressing up in drag and parading with the gays? Oh I know, Paladino impersonates but Cuomo stands besides. What a great message to our children!lelocolonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13863848230674917354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-736448434152217111.post-28677352134291323262010-10-11T09:17:07.128-04:002010-10-11T09:17:07.128-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.lelocolonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13863848230674917354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-736448434152217111.post-62301085280058531362010-10-11T09:10:33.794-04:002010-10-11T09:10:33.794-04:00WHat's sad is that people this ignorant are be...WHat's sad is that people this ignorant are being given any kind of platform or media attention.

Where woul...I completely agree with your attitude.<br /><br />Where would the U.S. be right now if Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King just shut up and "knew their role"? How much further back would the gay community be if people didn't step up and say who they were or not have parades? The more out and vocal people are, the more the average person will come to understand and accept reality, in my opinion. This also can apply to atheists.<br /><br />I think that's one of the Democrats' biggest problems and has been for a long time. They don't talk about their accomplishments enough nor do they talk about all the evil shit that the Republicans have done. I have no problem if they take some of the Republicans' tactics in that regard and turn it around on them. Just don't go into the "taking a clip out of context" part, like Breitbart or Hannity or any of the other ClusterFox masters, like Grayson did. There are more than enough legitimate things to be pissed off about.<br /><br />Also, I have to say that I'm pretty proud to be in a country that has legitimized gay marriage for quite a few years now. Also government funded abortions.Darrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17269444012676248989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-736448434152217111.post-5422410003476631822010-10-11T03:42:50.527-04:002010-10-11T03:42:50.527-04:00Thank you for writing that Beth - I wish I knew wh...Thank you for writing that Beth - I wish I knew what to say, I've said/written things till I'm blue in the face & it doesn't lesson the fact that some peoples attitudes and thinking just plain old hurt. Being treated as you say Equally is a right that I & my partner have under the Constitution. Too bad the Religious whiners want to always put their foot in it. <br />Being Gay is a choice? ohh puhleeze - like a gay person chooses to be ostracized, humiliated, forced to lie in order to keep their jobs, be denied visits in the hospital to see or make decisions for our partners based on being gay, being forced to hide who we are to keep the death threats away etc. etc. and yes, the death threats DO happen. Esp. if you live in the deep south as I & my partner do. I pay taxes the same as straight people, why don't I have the same rights? maybe I should just stop paying taxes...yeah, right. Like paying taxes for schools - why should I have to pay taxes for others peoples children to go to school? I think the one's that have children should be the one's to pay, not childless people. (that was a direction my mind went at the moment sorry LOL).<br />But seriously, who I love is who I love.<br />Sometimes I wish I could flip a switch and have everything just the opposite, where it's "wrong" to be straight and gay people have all the rights. Believe me I'd flip that switch in a minute if for no other reason than to make other straight people know what it feels like. Sometimes my Partner & I are out for a "romantic" dinner and all we can do is sit opposite each other and speak very quietly so the others around us can't hear what we say. We can sit next to each other, heaven forbid. We might even be denied service at a restaurant around here because that's just the way it is here. We can't walk down the road holding hands, or hug too much, or kiss each other, or call our other half "Baby" or "Sweetheart" because straight people don't like it...no, we have to walk completely separate from each other so no one thinks anything. From fear. Of having our home burned down, our vehicles sabotaged, health care denied, jobs lost. If we DO have children the fear of loosing those children. I could go on and on, but I can't because it pisses me off too much and it hurts just as much. We have a right to be happy & have the same rights as anyone else. And NO it's not preferential treatment. It's a right that I deserve because like the straights out there I'm a American Citizen & it's not something I should have to beg for.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
