This just in...from Hell

I rarely pick up the paper before I get on the train in the morning. I usually read a book on the train and wait until I'm at work to read the news online when I have downtime. But this morning I forgot my book at home, so I grabbed an edition of the Daily [Sp]ews on the way.

What a mess. What a complete and total catastrophe this war on Iraq has become. Bush says that the constant killing and devestation is "the grim price of U.S. success in Iraq..." If this is success, I would hate to see what failure looks like. And all that imbecile in the White House can say about it is: "The more progress we make on the ground, the more free the Iraqis become, the more electricity that's available, the more jobs are available, the more kids that are going to school, the more desperate these killers become." He says the attacks are designed "to create fear and chaos." And what were the purpose of all the bombs we dropped? To create a festive and prosperous atmosphere? Bush is a real dick.

It's not really news if you think about it: hatred and violence is everywhere. What's new? Check out these sick, demented human beings teaching their children hatred and intolerance by traveling all the way from motherfuckin Topeka, Kansas to New York and sending their kids to stand out in front of a Long Island school with signs that say things like "God Hates Fag Enablers" and "God Blew Up The Shuttle" (I'm still trying to figure out why god would blow up the shuttle because of gays) and "Thank God for Sept. 11." (Because there were gays in the WTC? I never...!) Why are these people and their kids standing outside a NY school with hateful signs? Because of the horrendous hazing that has gone on among members of that school, which somehow these psychotic "Christians" (which I think is an insult to decent Christians) have blamed on the acceptance of gays in society. They have somehow tied gays into a myriad of issues and blamed everything on them in one fell swoop. One of the quotes had this idiot saying:

"when you teach children that it's okay to indulge in any kind of sex act that they like...that it's okay to be gay, it is inevitable that they will end up being violent and doing things that they shouldn't."

First I'd like to ask this person if their brain damage is all pervasive or if it only effects the portion of their brain which processes logic and rational thoughts. Second, I'd like to ask if they think that teaching their children hatred and intolerance is better for the child than sex education and learning to accept and hopefully embrace diversity. Instead they will make this bizarre connection in the child's mind between violence and sexual orientation? Sexual orientation, of course having absolutely nothing to do with the real issue at hand and that which they are supposedly protesting, which is the violent "hazing" perpetrated by football players against team mates as some kind of horrifying right of passage. Somehow they have tied this together with homosexuality? These idiots from Kansas think that the reason these football players violently raped and abused team mates is because they were taught to accept gays and because they were educated about sex or because the ARE gay and they were told that it's okay? What planet did these people come from, because I didn't think Kansas was THAT far away.
