In The Beginning . . .

It's happening. Right before our eyes. Oh, no.

Obama - President-elect Barack Obama - is morphing into . . . um . . . I dunno. Can't quite get my bearings. I swear to g-d I thought I was voting for a Progressive Democrat (I relinquished the hope for a Liberal when Kucinich was forced out of the running), someone who would mercilessly kick the right wing theocrats and faux Nazis to the curb; banish the bastards who have spent years dividing the country against itself, sowing the seeds of mistrust, hatred, suspicion.

I did. I actually thought that, believed it, counted on it. And for no apparent reason. Obama was clear in his voting history that he was a "moderate." (I hate that word. Smells like coward or appeaser or . . . Clinton.) His publicity department has always presented him as someone who would "bring us together." (Wasn't that Reagan's line?) Someone who would "heal the nation." And, g-d knows we need healing, right? Actually we need a lot more than "healing." We need major surgery; amputations; cosmic intervention. In fact, The Bush Crime Family may have mortally wounded us, killed us; we may be lurching around, bleeding profusely, about to go into shock. On death's doorstep. Healing? It's going to take a hell of a lot more than "healing," no offense to the New Agers who see "healing" as a substitute for actually curing.

But, now we find that Obama has selected to give the Inaugural invocation a homophobic, anti-female, Rapture-Ready, mega-church pastor who believes that six thousand years ago, after GOD had created just about everything, a talking snake seduced Eve's mind and the result of that seduction had a profound influence on the course of human history and released evil into the world.

Not again. Not another "reverend" who would demean women, set the stage for the continuing murder of gay folk, maintain the hideous fiction that his god is the best and if you don't accept that your ass will burn in hell forever and ever, amen, no matter what good you may have done while you were alive. Please, Barack, not again. Broom this guy. Get him away from your inauguration. The whole ceremony will be unique in the political and social and racial history of this nation. Why corrupt it with Rick Warren? Why state categorically that you will continue the obscenities that are eating away at the core of this society by elevating Rick Warren to the status of Official Priest, Designated Bone-Shaker, Honored Messenger, Invocator Of Spooks and Demons, Witch Doctor at an occasion that should be grounded in humanism, secularism, reality.

Well, okay. It's all theater anyway, right? Illusion. Shadow boxes and hallucinations. So, bring on the Official Negro Singer - Aretha Franklin; the Official Handicapped Jewish Violinist - Itzhak Perlman; the Official Asian Cellist - Yo-Yo Ma; and the Official And Current Messenger From The Hairy Thunderer - Rick Warren.

But, gee, Barack, aren't there any Honored Messengers who don't promote bigotry, ignorance, blind obedience, contempt for women, and so on and so on, whom you might have picked to offer a ritualistic prayer at your party?

If you change your mind on Rick Warren, I don't have anything scheduled for January 20 except sitting in front of the television and watching yet another circus presentation. Which is to say if you need me I'm available.

I bought it today after I saw that Paul Weyrich died this morning. Building negative karma or increasing the chances that I'll burn in hell, but bottoms up! :beer:

19. Mr. lefty has some OSHA approved earplugs (before Two Shoes,
Edited on Thu Dec-18-08 09:13 PM by tnlefty
when OSHA actually meant something.) It would block out the noise, but it would make it difficult to listen to Malloy. So, I got nothin'. :hug: Maybe it'll be over soon.

16. America's First Gay President Concludes Historic Second Term
WASHINGTON—President George W. Bush was unusually reflective in the final weeks of his administration, taking time during speeches and press conferences to look back on key decisions, expound on his legacy, and tout his role in paving the way for the nation's first African-American president by serving eight years as its first openly gay president.

I'm inspired by our great country's willingness to look past the color of a man's skin—or, in my case, his overt homosexuality—and elect him based on his ability to lead," Bush told reporters following his meeting with president-elect Barack Obama on Nov. 10. "I've always been proud of my homosexuality, and I am so proud of the United States."

Bush added, "Thank you, America, for taking a chance on an openly gay man from Texas: tight jeans, cowboy hats, and all." <snip>

I never thought I'd see this in my lifetime," said David Nevin, a 58-year-old homosexual living in New York. "And I probably won't again because he was a terrible fucking president who ruined it for all of us."

Added Nevin, "What a bitch." <snip>

46. The doggies are good. I think one of them is going to be moving soon.
Yesterday, there were guys at the house taking draperies and rods down and today I noticed that the TV was taken down. I knew he'd be temporary, I was only supposed to walk him for a week and a half. I'm gonna miss him, he's really great! He gives me lots of kisses when I get there.

The inauguaration! Furrcrissakes. It's an outrage.

We've been waiting for over 8 years for some relief, some fun, some justice.

But noooooooo, like Randi says, he's stumbing all over himself making nice to these scum and giving them platforms.

I'm so tired of this.

47. Rachel was on fire about Warren on her MSNBC show tonight
Beautiful thing to see, it's the first time she's really let loose on a gay rights issue, on her TV show. I had to miss Malloy for it, but I knew it'd be worth it.

60. Hi JohnnieGordon!
:hi: :hug:
Welcome!
She talked about it on the AAR show too, I'll catch her on MSNBC at 11. I was listening to Ron Kuby earlier on AAR and he's livid about it too. I called into his show and got on. Before my call there was a woman trying to justify it by saying the science is coming out that being gay isn't a choice and the fundies will come around. When I got on, I pointed out that the science on evolution has been out for quite some time, and they haven't come around to that yet. As far as I'm concerned, Inviting Rick Warren to the inauguration is like showing up at a seder with Kurt Waldheim as your date.

76. Hi Guys! Traffic's just awful tonight.
Cold & rainy, with a big accident that shut down the freeway near my offramp.

Glad to be warm and toasty at home with my Truthseekers!:hi::hug::fistbump:

Good grief, this weather!

Glad you made it home OK.

79. They closed down San Pablo Dam Road this morning due to ice.
As an East Bayer, you'll have to learn the local routes!

82. Hey catnapper!!
I'm glad that you're home and toasty! :hi: :hug: Champagne? It's tainted, I bought it today when I learned that Paul Weyrich had died this morning. I didn't wish his death, but I despised him for many years, and I'm not apologizing for toasting him to the great beyond. One less evil person on the planet is how I look at it.
