The Rude Pundit: Columnist Star Parker Says George Washington Would Hate Gay Marriage
So, like, the Rude Pundit doesn't know who the fuck Star Parker is, nor does he care, and neither should you. But, without knowing a single thing about her or even bothering to research a single fact about her life or other beliefs, he feels sure that he can safely have a visceral hatred of her and everyone who buys Parker's steaming, leaky, poisonous pool of slaughterhouse hog shit that is her most recent "column," posted for your retching pleasure at the online open sewage ditch known as Townhall.com.

The basic premise of it is that she really fucking hates gay people, who are just fucking up Washington, DC with their gay fucking. After giving us the stats on the rate of HIV/AIDS infections in DC, she actually writes, "Amidst this dismal picture, the DC City Council, perhaps on the theory that serving up another glass of wine is the way to help a drunk, is scheduled to vote on December 1 to legalize same sex marriage in America's capital city." You got that? A vote to legalize gay marriage is a vote to give people AIDS. One could argue that same sex marriage, with its emphasis on, you know, monogamy, might actually help to reduce the HIV infection rate, but then you'd be thinking with logic and facts, which are the domain of the smug, amoral elitists who run the nation.

Parker quotes George Washington on religion and morality, which she claims supports her thesis that fags and dykes are awful people, then she cites a Brookings Institute study on marriage, and then tops it with a piquant sauce of the Catholic archdiocese of DC threatening to take its Jesus and go home if the law passes, the poor and sick be damned, just like Jesus would do. Her garnish is this line: "It should concern every American as we watch our nation's capital city transform officially into Sodom." Don't look back, Star.

So, in other words, she thinks that George Washington would want public policy to be based on religious belief. That's some fine understanding of history there.

This is what we're up against in the ongoing battle over gay marriage. That someone can confidently state this kind of opinion and not be treated as a pariah or a madwoman is about right for this degraded state we're in. Yeah, we're on Gomorrah road, motherfuckers, but not because gay people want to get married. Hate crimes against gays went up 11 percent last year. One imagines that the "morality" of Star Parker is one of the reasons for that.

1. Vulgarly hilarious statement right there
"gay people, who are just fucking up Washington, DC with their gay fucking."

:rofl:

Also her official biography describes her life story as a "personal transformation from welfare fraud to conservative crusader". Umm, excuse me, but I think she'd be describable as a "fraud" still even after taking back her life. Because of her homophobia and copycat tactics from the racist right.

2. Although I don't live in DC, I work there
Edited on Mon Nov-23-09 09:35 PM by LibertyLover
What really bothers me about the whole debate on gay marriage in DC is that many of the people working against it are from outside of DC. It's similar to what happened in California and Maine. One of the most vocal opponents is a minister from Maryland, a Bishop something or other with the Assemblies of God denomination if I recall the article I read recently.

3. And there's this line from one of his letters:
"Also, the danger of splinters must surely be considered as a detriment to such unions and their attending activities..."

5. People with wooden teeth should only be allowed to marry other people with wooden teeth.
