Just to make sure that it’s perfectly clear to all of the bible-thumping, right-to-life-lobbying, holier-than-thou religionists who believe that the United States of America and all of the people in it must subscribe to their specific catechism or burn in hell:   please note the symbolic separation between the two nouns in the title above.  This is the bold idea from which we were born.  It is anti-American to fuck with it.

The real Red/Blue division in the US today has got much less to do with Republican/Democratic political agendas than the red-in-the-face fundamentalist zealots who are trying to spread their smell-less shit on the rest of us while gays, women, blacks, Hispanics, Muslims, (note the many possibilities for overlapping), find themselves blue-in-the-face defending their irrefutable Constitutional equality.  I guess there’s just not a lot of that “what would Jesus do?” chit chat taking place amongst the elders, because the pressures from the evangelical right are aimed at inflicting pain and suffering…not the Christ-like activity I saw in The Greatest Story Ever Told.  Shame on California for the Prop 8 debacle!  And SHAME on Susan G. Komen for undermining years of good and valuable work, first by hiring a fuzzy-thinking-nut-job, (a patch-work of the uncomplimentary and derogatory listing above), to run their organization and then by not putting their mission above the idiotic and irrational pressure to be deniers of the life-saving services of Planned Parenthood.  Their reversal was insincere.  I don’t buy it.  They are dead to me.

By the way…Wednesday is Tu B’Shevat…banks open or closed?
