I lied. :(

I did not go see Fred Phelps last weekend.

I had decided on the day before, and sometime after I posted on the Shoutbox to the right, that it’d be a much better use of my time to go to a party. It was a work party, at an urban art installation in Burien. Far, far away from anybody waving “GOD HATES FAGS” signs.

I did, however, find this:

…and it was so horrible that I had to share it with you!

I expect to see many thankful replies in the comments section.

Invisible Lines

You know what your problem is? You believe in too many of these Invisible Lines. You seem to think that this area is somehow better than that area way over there because of the invisible lines someone once drew on a map. The only difference between inside the city limits and outside the city limits is the type of badge that the guy hauling you off to jail is wearing. No matter how hard you look you will not find a real line separating one state from the next. The only difference from one state to the next is what percentage of your money goes into who’s coffers. There is no difference between the people in this place and the people in that place. We all bleed just the same.

Even worse though is the fact that you believe the Invisible Lines in your brand of Holy Book. You think that there is a bright and sharp line between Good and Evil. You think that there is a clear list of Thou Shalls and Thou Shall Nots. But let me tell you, bucko, those beliefs will not save you. Sure, you say that all killing is wrong but when a tweaker with a switchblade is rushing you like a Berserker you’ll pull the trigger 99 times out of 100. (The other time you’ll be too busy crapping yourself). You say that it is better for the one to sacrifice for the good of the many until it is your ass on the line. Everyone believes in situational ethics, it’s just that some of us are most honest than others.

And another thing, you are too idealistic. Ideology is screaming at the world that the color gray doesn’t exist. It’s pretending that black is over here and white is over there with a nice neat Invisible Line right down the center. But there’s a whole lot of in between spaces you are missing. There are grays and purples and blues and reds and greens that you completely miss if you let idealism pluck out your eyes. What I’m saying is: don’t stop believing, just don’t limit your options.

G Gordon Liddy on Sotomayer

“Let’s hope that the key confrerences aren’t when she’s menstruating”…

I would appreciate it if you never mentioned menstruation or PMS again, G. Gordon Liddy. You are apparently an ass. Have you ever met a woman? Do you think it’s sexy to reference menstruation? Do you think other people think it’s sexy? Yes, ladies have vaginas. No, it doesn’t have anything to do with the supreme court. You can now please get on to being wrong about other things that I will not have to read about.

In the meantime, everything else you said is also wrong, and you are an idiot.

worst. lolcats. ever.

Once again proving that while libertarians have the occasional good idea, they’re largely a bunch of humorless fuckwads…

LIBERTARIAN LOLCATS!!1!

Government doesn’t deregulate? Remember Reagan and Bush and Bush? What do you think has happened for at least 20 out of the last 28 years? Even the Clinton administration had a freeze on regulation. Jackass. Also, your lolspeak sucks.

Speaking of deregulation, the USDA is a pretty toothless agency. Or are you saying that salmonella belongs in the peanut butter? Nice job, marketeer. You could have at least chosen the ATF or something.

Shall we count my friends who can’t afford glasses or dental care or even basic doctor visits? Health care is inaccessible to tens of millions here in the capitalist’s paradise.

Read the comments too. Even libertarians think this guy is an asshat.
