Michelle Bachmann: A Lesson in Hate

I feel like since Michelle Bachmann feels like she can just denounce people so openly in the name of God... We should rally as many people who are gay, lesbian, bi-sexual, supporting gay rights and all of our dogs... Drive to one of her speeches, act really excited and try to shake her hands.

Everyone tells her that they're gay and came to the rally specifically to save her children from her hurtful and horrible words. What do you think? I want to crush her like a bug on a windshield. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/17/us/politics/17bachmann.html?_r=1&hp

For saying she's a Christian, she's not being very Christ like. She should be more Jewish. Then she'd be cool... Well, no she wouldn't. She sucks eternally and I hope she knows that the God I theoretically might believe in ... and the heaven that if I didn't think we all just go back to dirt and energy goes into something else -- exists... St. Peter or Jesus or God or Chris Farley would be at the pearly gates going--

"Michelle... that wasn't very nice. You exploited a group of people for your own gain and crooked beliefs. Plus your refusal to ever read a book... Very Hitler like Michelle. I'm sorry, this gate isn't for you. You can take the limbo elevator down, directly, to hell."


She makes me so mad. I mean, the only reason that she can spurt out stupidity and these strangely driven political antics is through the fact that a lot of women worked hard to make work like this possible. I'm sure if in the 1970's Gloria and the gang thought this would be the result, they may have change some things. Or, they may have killed baby Michelle Bachmann like they should have killed Damion in The Omen or Rosemary's baby in Rosemary's Baby. I can't stand the idea that she is the female potential candidate. She wants to go back to the way the "Founding Fathers" had things... Well, let's look at what world they were dealing with and what they may have thought about Michelle Bachmann running for President.

1. They probably would have thought "AHH!" because, according to the US Census Bureau, there were only 2.5 million people in the U.S. in 1776. The amount of people probably would have made them poop their shifts, knickers and wigs.

George Washington apparently had wooden teeth and no one showered. They were all hairy and if you weren't a slave, chances are you were Western European. Women had no rights. No one who was any color but white was also screwed and people fought with muskets and disease (but they probably just blamed magic or something).

2. Slavery still existed. Why do people think it's cool to keep things based in this romanticized past. Did the last 2-500 years just not happen? Do you really want to go back to not vaccinating children-- sure polio gives you character-- but really? Do you want to tell your friend they can't be around anymore because they're black? That's just fucked.

3. Did I mention women had no rights back then? It took Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony and a WHOLE bunch of old white ladies to make that happen. That happened after the abolition and rights of African Americans was passed. Stanton and Anthony had a split from Fredrick Douglass and from each other over these issues. Fredrick Douglass, though I love him, didn't want to attach "sex" to the 18th amendment because he knew that would hold it back from being passed. I hope that if Fredrick met Michelle Bachmann, he would fight her as well... of course, for different reasons.

There are more reasons that basing things on the Founding Fathers isn't so great... I mean, beyond the pressures their ghosts have to endure. Talk about being a group without a voice, they have to haunt to be heard and since Google +, haunting just seems like you're crazy, I bet there's a circle for that.

I just get so pissed that someone can stand at a podium, declare that groups of people will harm children when there is little chance of that happening. You know what's hurting children? Words of hate. Denouncing groups in a generalized form.

A lot of problems come from suppression. I watch Mad Men, I know.

Maybe instead of threatening groups of people who are brave enough to come out of a shell that has held them in for so long, you could embrace them. Welcome them into your belief system (even though its whack-tastic) and actually take a look at whether or not children are harmed by it.

Children are probably harmed more by your foolish remarks and homeschooling. Jesus horses are not what we call dinosaurs and I have rocks in my driveway and friends in science who can carbon date that can tell you that the world isn't just 4000 years old. It may have been Palin who said that first, but I'm pretty sure Bachmann rides the same Constitution covered, touring, promotional short bus as the former.

Economy

Today I was listening to NPR before I made it to work. 

I was listening to a morning program that comes out of WAMU, which is the radio station a girl from TCA and I sat at this weekend to get some footage...kinda weird, but anyway...

The reports were focusing on the trials and tribulations that our congress and country in general are facing currently.

 

 (^-- Madame Speaker Preparing to kick more ass. Shattering the glass ceiling, which is hopefully falling into the eyes of Sarah Palin... BLURG)

Some people feel that the $700 billion check should be written, I firmly disagree.  I think it's jumping the gun. I think the retributions should be concentrated on the people who have made the mistakes, not the people whose money is going to be lost anyway... we the regular people. Someone like your grandmother, just about to retire and now can't because someone high up on Wall Street decided to gamble with her money over and over again. With money that is worth JACK SHIT at this point.

 

(^-- Jack shit)

I think Nancy Pelosi is right. Generally, yes, I tend to agree with her. I think that they are trying to point fingers at Madame Speaker Pelosi, but it's just because all of the mirrors in the White House have been turned around in order to avoid seeing the real problem.

Here is a link to Mrs. Pelosi's speech before the vote results were presented.

The Bill needs to be figured out soon, but I think they'd be jumping the gun to settle this with out thinking.

I don't want to live in another depression... no one does... but we're still not as bad off as we were in the late 70's. We just have an enormous, and OBVIOUS, spending issue on Wall Street. And since it is Wall Street, and we are an internationally trading country it's also effecting everyone globally. The crisis is not going to be settled by one bill nor in one day. DUH.

I feel like they should do that V8 commercial thing to anyone who thought this would work. BOP! Should have had a V8 and maybe you wouldn't have bet people's mortgages on AIR.

Sweet deal.

^-- BOP!

So I'm starting another blog soon. It will be more video oriented with less politics. It will help anyone who's looking for cool places to go on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. It will help students (mostly) find cool places to eat, have fun, or ideas about what to do when you're trapped in an area that is GORGEOUS yet BORING (particularly for single people ages 16-30).

Grandma and Grandpa as well as the family can look at the videos too if they're looking for a hole in the wall joint to grab some yummy eats.

I'm incredibly motivated right now. Though I'm doing a marvelous job of avoiding my studies for the GRE (taking that ish on Friday). 

Julia just went down for a nap...SO YEY ME! haha.

She's increasingly independent, which I think only further motivates me. It's somewhat weird to get inspiration from a newly 2 year old, but hey I'll take it where I can get it.

So thanks Madame Speaker and Julia... you're making me fired up and I'll just work on kicking so much ass no one can stop me.

:)

OH PS!!

IF you didn't catch the latest Tina Fey imitation of SP... Here you go!!! ENJOY! I <3 class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: 10px; white-space: pre; ">

Cold season

I think I have a cold. The little girl I babysit definitely does. Poor thing, she just went down for her nap and didn't eat hardly any of her lunch :( Or as she says it "yunch." 

I, too, didn't have a grand "yunch." I ate a little something but I have a head ache. 

Today I am happy it is starting to feel like autumn. Some reasons:

1. Got 3 skirts yesterday that are fall colors, all for 21 bucks. Hells yeah.

2. Though our Capitalist economy is failing, I found a lot of quarters in my room which I'm saving for a rainy day --> fall has plenty of rainy days.

3. Just clothing in general is much classier and fun in fall. Winter is the classiest, but fall holds a close 2nd.

4. Halloween is soon. I think 3 of my friends and I are going to be ABBA. Pretty freaking pumped about that one.

5. Football

6. My birthday. Though it is in late fall, it's RIGHT next to Thanksgiving this year. I keep it real. I celebrate the WHOLE week. Not by drinking or anything dumb all week...I just have a deep understanding that the week of my birthday is all about me (well it's also about my grandma because we share a b-day... shout out G-ma!).

7. Stockings and Jeans. Two of my favorite clothing items (notice the theme...I also love being naked... irony at its best!)

8. All Saints day. I have always thought this was a ridiculous Catholic holiday (though I respect the Holy Day of Obligation... granted I haven't OBSERVED it in a long time), but I think it is the bomb diggity that they combine ALL of the saints into one day. They make up for shenannigans due to Halloween festivities AND it's kinda like presidents' day, just one big party for the afterlife.

9. I'm ready to hibernate

10. I have TONS of stuff to do, thank goodness for Grad School applications...keepin' me busy!

So I'm pretty boring today, I don't feel like commenting on politics right now, nor the dumb ass speech that el douche Bush gave today (quick tid bit, it's your f-ing fault you mindless piece of shit). 

So I bid you adieu. :)
