great letter from my uncle re: yesterday's vote on the FMA |
|
Hurray! (kind of)
Dear Kim,
"Kind of" because it should never have come to this, and because those self-righteous, hypocritical, stupid, stingy, mean-spirited, undemocratic, right-wing, shit-for-brains lying assholes will probably try again to constitutionally deny gays & lesbians the right to marry. The right-wing claims of belief in democracy ring mightly damn hollow these days.
Yes, we want to export our version of "democracy" to Iraq and every other place in the world where we can take over. But we don't really mean freedom for everybody! That would be much too liberal! Trust us; we know what's right for you!
That shit this week about contingency plans to delay the election in case of a terrorism attack sounded like the beginnings of a coup attempt. I guess we should just call W. by his real name: Adolph.
I hope for your sake and for all of us that we can reverse this horrendous shift to the right that has taken over the country. I'm slightly encouraged by the Kerry-Edwards standing in the polls.
My uncle rocks! I only wonder how he turned out like this, while my father became such a sanctimonious Bible-thumping prig. :shrug:

1. Your uncle sounds cool, and I love his ranting style... |
|
I'm a big fan of "long strings of discriptive adjectives for fun and profit" myself.
Too bad about your dad. The majority of my family lean to the right, some quite markedly. Makes family get-togethers a bit tense, no?
I am thrilled to death with the Senate vote on the FMA, but your uncle is right... this shit aint over! The fight has just begun.
Hugs to you and yours... :hug:
