Got it in one

Gonna piss some folks off.  So be it:

“But Og, don’t those people at least deserve the same happiness as married couples? "

That comment- which I hear all the time- is high on the list of ignorant things a human can let come out of it’s mouth. Look around you at the married couples you know. Unless you’re living in Stepford, the odds are that all those people have their own problems, and to suggest that gay couples do not is ignorant in the extreme. ” I don’t see what the problem is” The problem is that Gay marriage is not about them seeking happiness, period., it’s about a government mandated wedge, made for a vanishingly small portion of the population, purpose built to destroy the churches who will not accept their lifestyle. “I don’t see that, at all. All the gay people I know are really nice” You don’t see it because you choose to ignore it.

Emphasis mine.  And I would say that it's not just designed to destroy the churches, it's designed to destroy the institutions who refuse to accept open homosexuality.  Disagree?  Then tell me why I must now shower with a person who is sexually attracted to men, but I can't shower with women.  You want to talk discrimination?  That's discriminatory right there.

Parenting done right

Yeah, I could see me doing that.

Still Sick

And still busy as hell.  Folks, you're going to have to keep yourself happy with the blogroll right now.  The free ice cream machine is broken for the next few days.

Since I have no energy

I'm just going to pass along this link from Ann Barnhardt:  Excommunicate the Bishops.

Back when there was a New Ledger, I wrote a now long-forgotten piece excoriating the Bishops in this country for complicity in its passage, for not speaking up, for not excommunicating the public officials who actively fight for the abortion license despite the infallible teachings of our Church — and by extension, for enabling a culture of license that enables the Culture of Death. (Piece stolen here; TNL no longer publishes essays.)

I stand by every word, and would like to add a few things. Let me start with the most basic one.

You can all, each of you, and I say this after a week of prayerful meditation and with all of the respect I can give, go straight to the darkest pit in the lowest valley of the Ninth Layer of Hell and burn there.

And I agree with all of it - it's not just the politicians who wrap themselves up in the flag of the Church during election season and then disavow it's teachings during the rest of their term, it's the Church officials who allow them to do it.  Every time Nancy Pelosi screams for abortion while claiming to be Catholic, there is a bishop who sees it and allows it to happen.

The leadership of the Church has allowed the rot to spread.  And they must be included in the problematic tally.

Day Four

And I still feel like a can of smashed assholes.

Lord, I hate being sick.  I made it into work, got four hours into my day and was sent home.  So now I get to sit here and do nothing, because I don't have the energy.  Blah.

Day two of being sick

And it's the nasty, energy-sucking, lay on the couch and feel miserable kind of illness.

Blah.  I really, REALLY hate being sick.

I used to ask

Why Nancy Pelosi had not been excommunicated from the Catholic Church, given her multitude of anti-church actions and stands.  This newest blathering from the communist cuntflap is another example of how actually anti-Catholic she is.  Since Ann Barnhardt doesn't have permalinks, I'm going to cut and paste some big quotes here:

The Catholic bishops have been de facto Marxist agitators for the last half-century. Why? Because the idea was planted in the hierarchy decades ago by the first Marxist infiltrators that if the Church embraced Marxist Socialism, the Church could then lay off upon the STATE all of the costs associated with caring for the poor and the sick. Since the faith of the bishops, priests and nuns has been massively eroded over the last fifty years via recruitment of the faithless into the seminaries, heretical Marxist education and formation in seminaries and Catholic universities, and most especially by the gutting, flaying and profaning of the Mass itself, it doesn’t even register with most of these people that the Church NOT caring for the poor and the sick is a problem. In fact, they celebrate the fact that the Church now no longer spends significant amounts of money on these things, but instead sit upon massive “endowments” that read like the prospectus for a mutual fund rather than the charitable activity summary of the Bride of Christ.

What the bishops, priests and nuns in the United States have done over the past fifty years is to specifically and consciously ally themselves with Marxist statists in the government. They formed this alliance in order to bring about a system whereby the government could take over all of the charitable services that the Church should be providing, and which Christ specifically commanded the Church – not the state - to undertake, most notably caring for the elderly, the poor and the sick. The care of the poor was laid off on the government under the guise of “Welfare”. The care of the elderly was laid off on the government under the guise of “Social Security”. The care of the sick was laid off on the government under the guise of “Medicare”, “Medicaid” and finally, the coup de grace, “ObamaCare”. The Church would continue to provide healthcare, but instead of tapping the Church’s own coffers when an indigent patient needed care, the Church would simply bill the Federal Government.

The Catholic Church in the USA has been getting more political, and it's been a decidedly leftist bent.  You cannot deny that whenever some bishop, priest or nun has spoken out politically, it's normally been to support whatever Leftist cause du jour is around.  The old priests that I grew up with would have never carried on like that priest from Chicago who marched around with Jesse "Hymie-town" Jackson.  But then, they grew up in the old, traditional church that still revered the mass and the trinity and everything that made us CATHOLIC.

I won't even get into the discussion I had with a Polish priest who asked me why all the American priests were gay.

And now, the end game is upon us. The bishops have used the Marxists, and thought that they had a “gentlemen’s agreement”. The problem is that Marxists aren’t gentlemen, they are psychopaths, and they do not honor ANY agreements. The fact that the Marxists are now openly turning on the bishops is confirmation to EVERYONE, Catholic, Protestant, Jew, Atheist, everyone, that we are absolutely, positively in the end-game stage. The Marxists have seized and usurped the government of the United States of America. Guys, they don’t need the bishops to shill for them any longer because THERE AREN’T GOING TO BE ANY MORE ELECTIONS TO SHILL FOR. The Marxists have taken over this country and are now turning on, and will eventually attempt to imprison and kill all of those that are or potentially could be “enemies of the revolution”. The Marxists can no longer extract any meaningful advantage by using the bishops, and so now the bishops will be eliminated – one way or another.

The bishops will now act surprised, nay SHOCKED!, but I can tell you that their surprise at this turn of events will be totally disingenuous. They have been warned, and I was one of the ones doing the warning. I have an email exchange between myself and an Archbishop from Christmas Eve of 2009 in which I laid ALL of this out. Remember the Christmas Eve unconstitutional ram-through of ObamaCare? Remember the STUPAK AMENDMENT? Yeah. I told them that Marxists were liars and that they would quickly renege on ANY promises regarding abortion, and that millions of children would be murdered under ObamaCare. I told them that the nation would financially collapse before Obama’s first term ended, and that the Marxists would come after the Church first – as they always do. I told them that they were in bed with satan and that they were complicit in the inevitable collapse and hot war all of this would cause.

The response? That I was “uncharitable”. That I had an “evil imagination”. That I was a “rash judger” who was “preoccupied with my own opinion”.

What say you now, Excellency? 

 The refusal to deal with anti-Catholics like Nancy Pelosi, who constantly and militantly go against the Church's teachings while claiming to be Catholic is coming home to roost.  Look folks, if Nancy Pelosi wants to be a champion for sucking babies out of the womb with a vacuum cleaner, that's on her.  But she cannot be that champion while simultaneously claiming to be Catholic, because being a Catholic means respecting life.  ALL life, and most especially innocent babies who haven't even had a chance to take a breath of air.  And so to proudly champion the murder of innocent babies is antithetical to Catholic beliefs and teachings.

And yet, there she sits, a "proud" Catholic, and the church in America does NOTHING about her.  She still takes communion.

*vomit*

I'm taking a serious, hard look at the Orthodox Church right about now.....

More than Obama

Folks, this is the reason why we cannot afford Mitt Obamneycare as our nominee, OK?  We cannot just think that we're fighting Obama.  We're not.  We're fighting his palace guards, the Media.  The very people who got him elected, and cannot afford to see him lose re-election.  We're fighting the people who will savage anyone and everyone who opposes their god and king. 

And Mittens Romney?

He's a fucking chump who thinks the media will be nice to him, because they're making him his favorite Republican right now.  And let's be blunt - anyone who thinks the media will be fair is a fucking chump as well.  How many John McCain's do we have to go through to prove that, hmmmmm?  If you're sucked into the media narrative that Mitt Romney is the only electable Republican YOU ARE A FUCKING CHUMP.  THEY DID THE SAME FUCKING THING IN 2008, PEOPLE!!!!  WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU FALLING FOR IT AGAIN?!?!?!?!?!  WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?!?!?!?!

If a candidate isn't willing to fight the media, he CANNOT WIN!  The media is going to be pulling hard for Obama even more so than in 2008, and we need someone who can fight them back.  You think that's Romney?

REALLY????????

Then let me stock up on ammo, because we're fucked.  There's only been one candidate willing to punch back against Obama's palace guards, and that's Gingrich.  Love him or hate him, at least he understands who the enemy is.  To Romney, every Republican who stands in his way is attacked, but he can't bring himself to call Obama a Socialist.

Fuck me gently with a chainsaw.

Dammit

Caught whatever crud is going around.  Made it through work today, and then came home to sit on the couch for a couple of hours staring at the computer.

Looks like my weekend might be shot.

What the hell?

Ann Coulter just did a "Three Cheers for Romneycare"?  ARE YOU SERIOUS????

Oh god, reading it is worse than...  well...  oh hell, it's like Ann Coulter did a threesome with Bawney Fwank and his boyfriend, and then proudly put the photos on the web.  It's fucking disgusting.  It's filthy.  It's exactly the kind of idiotic crap that Romney defenders are forced into doing, because their candidate is so flawed, so bad, so lacking character, that they can't actually stand on anything he's done OTHER THAN ROMNEYCARE and make a case for him.

My god, the fact that this man is being supported by the GOP establishment is reason enough to declare the GOP dead.

Mike at Cold Fury puts it perfectly:

I have regretfully concluded that in fact I would rather see Obama re-elected than have the sort of irretrievable tommyrot Coulter has descended to in this article continue to metastasize on our side. Better to fight a stand-up battle with a known enemy than endure repeated stabs in the back from a false friend–or see an erstwhile ally corrupted completely by utter derangement of this sort. I do believe we’d be one hell of a lot better off with Obama as president and conservatives–not (gag) Republican Statists–in control of Congress than we would be with Romney in the Oval Office, standing ready to enthusiastically rubber-stamp every Progressivist expansion of government the liberals in both parties can excrete.

Romney in office would be a bigger disaster than the last three years, because there wouldn't be ANY opposition to Romney's big-government plans.  And we've seen how Romney treats people who disagree with him on the conservative side, haven't we?  I'm not voting for that.  Should Romney win the nomination, I'm most likely writing in Ron Paul's name come election time.

Ain't no permalinks over at Ann's place

So go read while you can - Ab homine iniquo, et doloso erue me - all three parts.  Folks, if you're Catholic, and you're not pissed off, then you haven't been watching.

Romney wins Florida

As Brit Hume put it "By bombing Gingrich back to the Stone Age with negative advertising."

So Fuck Mitt "Obamnycare" Romney, that fucking puke.  Can anyone tell me what would be different between a Romney administration and an Obama administration?

Anyone?  And give me specifics, not platitudes.  Anyone?

Yeah.  There's your problem right there.

Brutal

Mitt "Flipper" Romney!



You want to know the best part?  Right at the end, when Ann Coulter is giving a speech and says "And that's why we have to nominate Christie, because otherwise Romney is the nominee, and he will lose."

Folks, a Romney nomination will be a disaster.

The GOP needs to die

And Florida is providing a good example of why.  Alan West is getting screwed over by the Republican establishment who can't stand to see anyone shake up their network of cronies and money-men.

One of the rising stars of the Tea Party is about to be sacrificed by the Republican establishment in Florida, led by someone spinning for Mitt Romney.

Don’t say you weren’t warned.

Mitt Romney is a perfect example of what the GOP has become - a lying, manipulative, liberal, big-government collection of good-ol-boy networks, crony capitalists, and statists just waiting to push their next five year plan on America.  When Alan West is getting redistricted right out of congress by his own party, you know you have a problem.  Alan West doesn't fit the current nanny-state GOP mold, so he has to go, and a Romney backer is the person to do it.

Fuck the GOP.  Fuck the Republican party.  Fuck the Florida Republican party, and fuck the Mitt Obamneycare supporters.  This country is fucked, and I will just wait for the shooting to start.

Home again

Thank goodness.  Hello, my own bed!  Hello, my couch!

Gingrich getting hammered

.....by Romney supporters.  The more I see of Romney, the less I like him.  That's a problem, folks.  I'm hardly the only one who feels this way.  Whatching him cry crocodile tears about being attacked while attacking and lying about Gingrich makes me like him even less.  Romney is a loser, folks.  And the way the GOP establishment is attacking Gingrich makes me like him MORE.  Anyone who makes the GOP brass scream like little bitches can only be a good thing.

Chicago

aka Mordor.  Ugh.

Crappy Bass

Every time I hear some souped-up vehicle pumping out that electronic crap modernly known as "bass", making everything rattle within a five block area, the first thought through my mind every time is "Gee, nice stereo system.  Sorry to hear about your tiny dick!"

Folks, driving around blasting electric noise is not cool.  It ain't music.  And you'll be deaf when you're 40, which is something I'm desperately trying to avoid given my past and my current occupation.  But hey, when you're yelling at your grandkids because you can't hear them, you can take comfort in the fact that for a while in your youth, you thought you were "cool" because you managed to rattle your doorframes with noise.

Yay.  Fuggin' morons.

Democrat "Leadership"

Here's the thing, though - this can't be framed as a Democrat American Communist Party "Fail".  See, since they haven't passed a budget, and are using Continuing Resolution Acts, they're keeping spending at the levels they were at when they last passed a budget in 2009, which means they get to spend trillions of dollars more than if they passed a balanced budget.

You see what they just did there, don't you?  Don't think for one second that their refusal, not failure, REFUSAL to pass a budget is accidental, or driven by incompetence.  It is deliberate.

And yeah, that's going on the sidebar.

State of the Union

Didn't watch it.  Wouldn't have been good for my blood pressure to see that Commie Cork-Socker lie through his teeth yet again.  Reading through all the text and comments on his speech, it's exactly what I thought it would be - lies, lies, partisan bullshit, blame Republicans, lies, lies, and lies.

Dear God, the fact that America elected this buffoon makes me weep.
