Why do I gotta slap a bitch?

[lynsangelic1]

I am quite remarkably calm tonight. For the moment.  Posted another IOY while listening to the strangest of the strange in my music collection.  One minute it's grrl rock, the next 60's compliations, the next classical.  If I start to go any further back in time I'll be listening to two guys banging rocks together.

And the rest is silence.

Actually.  I lied.  I am a bit angry.  Watched the clip of the Oklahoma representative, Sally Kern this afternoon, not long after reading more about the Scottish bishop Joseph Devine.  One is informing us that the homosexual lifestyle is being indoctrinated into children as young as 2 (I thought that pre-school education in the US started later than that - are the gays passing out flyers at play parks?) , the other warning of of huge and well orchestrated conspiracy created by the gays to attack Christian Values. (I know nothing about this which makes me a little huffy.  Was I too busy ordering my DVD's and missed the memo?  If we were planning a mass attack on Values then I should at least be heading one of the assault teams.)

Urgh.  I know I shouldn't get annoyed at these right wing bigots.  It's a pointless waste of time and perfectly good fury that could be directed towards nuclear arms, the new bloody Budget, whaling or David Yates.  But it exasperates me so thoroughly.  How people like that can still exist in the modern world.

We're not too bad in Britain on the political side.  We've had the 'difficult' debates on section 28, lowering the gay male consent age and the right to civil union.  It's not great but it could be worse.  And this is in comparison to the Religious Right of the the Republican party.  Abortion is never a campaign issue in General/Holyrood elections, yet it still remains a bit part of American politics.  That amazes me.

It amazes me that a small minority of people who are so stout in their bigoted, backward opinions seek public office to, in large part, impose their opinions on the country.  Many of whom according to polls, do not agree with them.  However, this section of society is largely quiet whereas the Neo-conservatives and the religious right are banging on my door, giving me magazines and once - stopped me on Elm Row to tell me how I could be saved.  Elm Row in Edinburgh is right in the heart of the pink triangle, so they positioned themselves nicely.

You know what sucked (going completely OT)?  All my time, living ten minutes down the road from JKR and never once did I see her.  Never once did she come round to mine for a cup of tea.  Never once did she show me the epilogue so I would have a chance to incinerate it before the rest of the world saw.  My old flatmate Callum saw her loads of times in Sainsbury's.  That little bitch never once spoke to her.  Idiot.  The most famous author in the world and he just went on his merry way.  He's not really a fan but used to love taking the piss out of me.  All the news I have is she wears clacky high heels and buys good, simple food as well as the 2 for 1 deals.  She's classy.

Hm.  The rage is gone.  Maybe because JKR soothed me by telling me that Dumbledore's gay, which, TBH, was quite obvious in book 7.  Nice to have the confirmation.  I wonder if she was at all influenced by slash in her decision?

So now I pull on my black balaclava and sheath my samurai sword to go and give the chance to those two bigoted fools to revise their opinions.  I will stand up for Dumbledore if no one else will.

And what then, would you expect of a country who's president (I will not capitalize that title while that asshat is still in the White House) who had publicly stated that... "The jury is till out on evolution."

I want in on the assault team! I have creds, I have experience and I have a really, really nasty mean streak.

To be fair, Bear, looking at said asshat does lead you to believe that Evolution certainly has not finished...

Looks like there might be one or two of our kind of people around here, dunnit? :)

As my old grandmother was fond of saying...Live in hope..die in despair.

And yes..as I look around there does seem to be more than the two of us.

I like that! Road trip!

I can't believe that he didn't even come into my rage this time. I am simply at a loss for words to explain how incredulous I am that some so fucking stupid was put in arguably the most powerful job in the world. He has nothing in him - it's not as if he's the world's greatest bluffer or a charismatic public speaker. He makes his average-ness well known, thinking it'll endear him more to the public. I think it was after or before his 1st inauguration that he told the nations 'C students' to look what they could achieve.

It sickens me that some of the most important decisions are made by a man of his calibre. His foreign policy decisions that, although I'm not American, effect me as well. See £7 billion gone from the UK treasury by the end of these 'wars'.

All right. Dubya's at the top of the list. I've been meaning to make a Hit List for some time now. Just never had the time.

Lash and I have, for years now, had a list. It changes constantly. It's the kind of list that you don't talk about in public or near anything that might hide a microphone. It is, of course, all in fun, but I still have my dreams.
And being the quiet, unassuming all American girl that I am...I'm armed to the fucking teeth.
When the Christian gestapo comes to take me to the camps for "re-education" for being queer, somebody is in for one hell of a surprise.

Ha. Well, the closest I have to a weapons should that ever be the case is a guitar and a dog. They'll pat the dog and she'll chew the guitar and I'll be fucked. I do have some really heavy books...

It's Scotland, so there's always someone who knows someone who knows a girl with alotta guns.

Oh, hell, keep the sword out.

The myth of the persecuted Christian. It's quite the rage these days. Frankly, I think Jesus is likely really upset with the bigotry and hatred being credited to him.

I usually tell them that God and I are tight, and that she told me that they have it all wrong. I invite them to lunch with me and God, so that they can get the story straight. Nobody has accepted yet, but I have hopes. God makes a fuckin' wicked hoagie.

Ach, She doesn't invite me around anymore since I beat her at poker. She's meant to be infallible, y'know, so it didn't go down very well.

I agree, Jesus would be pissed. I'm sure it's not what he had in mind.
