Critical Masshole

You know, the only really good thing about Rick Santorum constantly frothing from his mouth is that the flow of sewage issuing forth is eventually going to drown him.

And what a fitting end that shall be - to drown in his own verbal excrement.

The leader of the Christian Taliban, who would like nothing better than to livestream your bedroom to insure you are only getting jiggy so you can play This Little Piggy 9 months later; to make certain nothing not "special" is taking place; and to make damn sure no hanky panky among same sex couples occurs, has dug his septic tank hole even deeper today.

Speaking to a collection of Earl Grey's finest - a Tea Party gig - he doubled down on his Bible thumping with this nugget about President Obama's agenda," it's not about you. It's not about your quality of life. It's not about your jobs. It's about some phony ideal. Some phony theology. Oh, not a theology based on the Bible. A different theology."

So the highest political office holder in the land is not using the Bible as his playbook.

Um, Rick?  Pssst, over here...

THAT'S HOW THE GOVERNMENT IS SUPPOSED TO WORK.

Governance is by the people, for the people - ALL the people.  And ALL the people don't buy into your chosen book of rewritten, revamped, amended, and cherry picked fairy tales.  ALL the people in this nation are not Christian.  And that is fine.

Religion is not supposed to touch governance, and governance is not supposed to touch religion.  It's amazing.  Those crafty founding fathers understood the dangers of people like you coming along, Lubeleak, long before you were an itch in your father's Sanscrotum. 

The Bible has no business in the law making and decision making for the people of this country.  And that you are ignorant, egocentric, and delusioned enough to state that it does?

Well, I do believe we have reached the tipping point with your Westboroish rhetoric.

Today, I believe we reached critical masshole.

Well said Linda, whatever happened to the separation of church and state? I am so sick and tired of this demigod trying to shove his beliefs down our pieholes I could just scream (ask Lori, I believe he has made my head implode about 9 times this week.)

I am not interested in living under a Christian theocracy, even though I am a Christian. My faith is my business and I don't think ANYONE'S faith should be shoved down the collective throats of a nation. I am happy to keep my peanut butter out of other people's chocolate, and ask that other people keep their chocolate to themselves and enjoy it all they want. Besides, the Christian religion is FAR too widely interpreted by different sects to base a government on it. Want to see a real nasty war? Just try to impose Roman Catholic beliefs on a Southern Baptist. Or Mormon beliefs on a Church of Christ member. It's frigging ridiculous. It's insanity.

So the hell WHAT if someone goes to church every Sunday? That doesn't make them a better person than someone else. So the hell WHAT if someone's read their version of the Bible fifty times. That doesn't make them a better person than someone else. This is what I believe: Keep your beliefs to yourself, enjoy them, practice them, share them if you're asked -- but do not... DO FRIGGING NOT... tell another person that they MUST subscribe to your beliefs.

I may go to Mass every Sunday, but I do so alone, and happily. My husband is an agnostic and that's just peachy with me. My oldest daughter had her First Communion in the 90's and then lost interest in the church. That was fine with me. My youngest has no interest in going to Mass with me (unless they're serving ice cream after church) or taking her First Communion. That's FINE with me. I've never pressured any of them to join me - ever. It would never occur to me. My religion is my business; my choice. If my kids or husband decide to participate, that's THEIR choice. Or not. Either way, that's fine.

All these Republicans are pissing me off more than you can believe (and don't get me started on the Catholic bishops, either, or the Prebyterians or the Lutherans or the other religious knotheads with this birth-control crap). The good thing that I'm seeing, though, as maddening as all this shit is, is that solid and sensible Republicans are getting just as angry, disgusted and fed-up as I am. On Thursday, I had a long conversation with my 72 year-old neighbor, Fred, who is a lifelong staunch Republican and a faithful conservative Christian. He told me, and I quote, "This is crazy. The government needs to get out of everyone's bedrooms. This has gone too far and has to stop." When I hear someone like that, here in Texas, say something like that... well, it gives me hope.

I refuse to lose hope and will continue to fight. LOUDLY and OBNOXIOUSLY, of course.

This guy will be a godsend (no pun intended) if he gets the nom. Mitt has me worried but the President should be able to handily beat this nut.

He was an incumbent senator who lose by 19%. That says a lot right there.

I take offense at your misapplication of the term "Masshole" to Santorum. Masshole is a term people from New Hampshire use to refer to people from my own home state who drive recklessly through NH on their way to someplace decent.

Anyway, I think Santorum's recent uptick in popularity is a good thing for this country. It will weaken Romney, who is destined to get the nomination, and improves the likelihood of Obama's re-election, which is what this country so desperately needs.

Personally, I think that what would be even better for America would be if every last one of us were getting laid exactly twice as often. I think that would take a lot of the rage, hostility, and anger out of us and bring things just a little bit closer to normal.
