Oh my.

The bird-smacking stoned red-faced primitive writes a new Nicene Creed.

I had to paragraphize and sentence it some; otherwise it just rambles and waddles, discouraging an audience from reading it; no changes made to Sitting Bull's text.

These are a few things in which I believe:

-I believe that we, having made possible the election to President of the United States of a man who is not only the first non-lily-white person to have gained his country's trust enough to win that election (though his ethnicity is not the focus of this rant), but also a man of startling intelligence, energy, and passion for the idea of America (if he fails in any way, it won't be because he didn't try).

That we, you and I, who helped make this happen should just shut the **** up for a few months, stop bickering and nitpicking and eating our young and criticizing and pontificating about every single ****ing thing he does, just for a little while because.

For Christ's sake, he hasn't even been inaugurated yet; we worked SO hard to get the guy elected and we DID it, and now we're going to bitch-slap him for every decision he makes that we don't like?

(Just my opinion. Yours may differ, and that's OK. It's not for me to tell anyone what to think.)

-I believe that we, ALL of us in America, need to understand that our own personal opinions are not handed down by God, and therefore should not be translated into public policy or the Law of the Land. (This one probably doesn't apply to most DUers.)

The fact that we, the majority of us, are heterosexual in nature does NOT give us the right to make rules or laws that exile non-heterosexuals, our own brothers and sisters, our own fellow Americans, to some bizarre and unjustified Coventry where they are not even allowed to visit their own life partners who are dying in a hospital.

Do we have the right to torture people that way, just becaus they aren't like us? And we are so arrogant that we want to deny them the right to have a simple ceremony of marriage, which (guess what, rightwingers and fundies) was NOT ordained or written in stone by God Almighty, but is a purely human construct?

Who the **** are we, the heterosexual majority, to dictate the limits of rights of people whose sexual orientation is different from ours, any more than the majority of people in America, being white, should be able to limit the rights of Americans who are NOT white? Come to Connecticut, gay folks; we'll treat you like human beings here. I wish that were the case everywhere.

(Just my opinion. Yours may differ, and that's OK. It's not for me to tell anyone what to think.)

-I believe that we, the ones who are supposed to be the flag-bearers; the ones who rose like the mythical saints who rose to slay the mythical dragons, will finally understand that myths endure because of the power of the lessons they teach. We need to learn from those lessons.

We need, more than we have EVER needed to, to rise as one and bury the rotten, stinking corpse of racism, whether open or veiled in any "some of my best friends are black, but" kind of bullshit, once and for all in America. It's time to do that.

(Just my opinion. Yours may differ, and that's OK. It's not for me to tell anyone what to think.)

-I believe that it's time, now more than ever, for us to be Americans. Jaded old cynical broken-bodied son of a bitch that I am, I do believe that. I believe if enough of us do that, we can make it happen. Yes, we can.

I'm the least religious guy you'll ever meet, but I truly believe that if we, all of us, practice what one extraordinary man taught over two thousand years ago, and the way another extraordinary many translated those teachings about 150 years ago and distilled those teachings of tolerance, selflessness, and simple good deeds toward others in the simple phrase, "With malice toward none; with charity toward all," we would each of us not only be better in our own lives, but would make America the better place that we know it can be. If only we'll try. Yes, we can.

(Just my opinion. Yours may differ, and that's OK. It's not for me to tell anyone what to think.)

8. Hey, here I have a "lamp_shade" and a "window" both liking my post. I could probably draw some kind of tortured metaphor from that, saying that the light that the two of you shone on my post (although, I guess, a lampshade would actually be blocking some light) meant that it was a worthwhile post on my part.

But I'd only make that kind of stretch if I were more tired and in more pain than I actually am tonight, so I'll let it go with thanking you and lamp_shade for your positive replies.

Mrs R says it's one of the most inspired pieces of writing I've done (despite the dismal reply count), and that I should filter out all the "****s" and send it to our state newspaper as a "guest editorial." What do you think about that idea? They've actually published some of my stuff as guest editorials before...

Little Bull should edit it some, before submitting it.  The bird-smacking stoned red-faced primitive's welcome to use franksolich's editing, which makes it eminently more readable.

Elsewhere on Skins's island, his best pal the lying titty primitive is promoting, boosting, hawking, selling this particular bonfire.

Doesn't surprise me! I think perhaps the lying TiT and Red more than likely had one of those "BrokeBack Mtn" moments while they were traveling the sagebrush in N.M.

I dunno.

With all due respect to those thusly afflicted, I'd feel leery about hopping around in the sack with someone with one eye that never moves, such as what the lying titty primitive has.

Even if she was otherwise aesthetic.

I couldn't do it.

Glad to hear it frank! I'v always figured you to be hetero!

Whoa-ho.

Now I'm bothered.

Have I ever betrayed I'm anything but?

To each his own, I'd just ask her to wear an eyepatch and play "Pirate Boarding Party Ahoy!" or alternatively just turn out the lights.

The half white/half black big eared Bozo can't string a coherent sentence together without a teleprompter.  I don't think that qualifies his little fey muslim butt to be considered any sort of "great thinker".

That we, you and I, who helped make this happen should just shut the **** up for a few months, stop bickering and nitpicking and eating our young and criticizing and pontificating about every single ****ing thing he does, just for a little while because.

Actually, YOU didn't do shit.  The media did it all.  The guy is going to be president based on the greatest lie ever not told.  B.  Hussein Obama is a product.  He is not anything but a front for the "corporation" behind him. 

You Little Goons probably almost cost this High Yellow Tool the election.  Any intelligent person who happened upon DemocratUnderground.com would automatically vote against the like of the the Little Goons.

The fact that we, the majority of us, are heterosexual in nature does NOT give us the right to make rules or laws that exile non-heterosexuals, our own brothers and sisters, our own fellow Americans, to some bizarre and unjustified Coventry where they are not even allowed to visit their own life partners who are dying in a hospital.

Repeat after me:  Homosexuality is not a race of people.  If it was, it would have died out with the first homosexual. 

Homosexuality is a fluke of nature .  It happens in all races.  It is not to be celebrated.  It is to be looked upon like all abnormalities.  It needs to be corrected. 

Do we have the right to torture people that way, just becaus (sic) they aren't like us? And we are so arrogant that we want to deny them the right to have a simple ceremony of marriage, which (guess what, rightwingers and fundies) was NOT ordained or written in stone by God Almighty, but is a purely human construct?

BZZZZ!  WRONG!  God Almighty designed the sexes.  I think that sort of gives us a clue as to how He thinks on the subject.

Who the **** are we, the heterosexual majority, to dictate the limits of rights of people whose sexual orientation is different from ours, any more than the majority of people in America, being white, should be able to limit the rights of Americans who are NOT white? Come to Connecticut, gay folks; we'll treat you like human beings here. I wish that were the case everywhere.

Hardly, my stupid friend.  You are denying the normal folks a normal society in order to cater to the freaks.  That becomes you treating the freaks like human beings while treating the norm as if it is freakish.

I can't go on.....it's too stupid and mindless to comment.  Little Goons love themselves some sucky dick.
