Some Few Liberal talking points
So here are a few things that concern me as a liberal, as a woman and as an American.
It worrries me that there are very few manufacturing jobs in the United States. I think we should be MAKING stuff here and not merely consuming it. I was glad when the bailout of General Motors succeded. I am the daughter of a steelworker, and I am sure that some of the steel that was made where he worked went into Detroit cars. I want to buy stuff made here, not just in China.
I'm a little concerned about the crap I've seen on the Ed Schultz show about how single women and gay men cannot be both sexually active and good teachers. Who does it hurt, when consenting adults participate in sexual intercourse in the privacy of their home? How does it hurt me as a woman when a gay couple does whatever they like in their home?
I think there should be more recycling. Where my sisters live, recycling bins are delivered by the county and everyone fills them, to reuse stuff and keep it out of landfills. I don't really know what to do with trash but there is only so much landfilll space to go round. I also believe that "waste not, want not" is a very good principle.
I am listening to the rebroadcast of Rachel Maddow, during the interview of Art Robinson and he isn't answering any of her questions, and he accused her of smearing him, being sarcastic and misquoting him, when she attempted to ask him about what he has written on paper and online.
I think that the hypocrisy and selfishness of the Republican candidates, and pundits is appalling and astonishing. I am listening to Lou Dobbs on Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell spit hairs about how he has not hired illegal immigrants to work on his estate and look after the horse. I am watching him dance around it, with the reporter who has spoken to the workers he has hired.
I see Sharron Angle call for the privatization of Social Security, and the VA when both she and her husband benefit from government pensions and healthcare. I see a woman who wants to make all abortions illegal, with absolutely no exceptions allowed, nor for rape, not for incest. This makes me feel cold all over, although i have never been raped, not by a stranger, nor acquaintance and certainly not by my family. I wish all babies were loved and wanted, and that they have parents who will take excellent care of them and love them madly. But I live on Earth. I went to a high school with a fair number of teen moms. I read about children being abused in the paper and online, and it's so very sad, and mostly preventable.
I have heard about Linda MacMahon of the WWE and Senate candidate in Connecticut say that the minimum wage needs to be reduced. This is the same Linda MacMahon that is a billionaire and had $46 million dollars in income last year. How can you take home so much and yet be agianst those who have nothing? Doesn't your conscience trouble you?
I have heard Rush Limbaugh scream about how addict should be in jail, and yet he has a problem with Oxycontin. Why aren't you in jail, Mr. Limbaugh? How do you sleep at night:?
I suppose you sleep just fine on a bed filled with money. If I had that kind of cash to my name, I'd be ashamed. I'd want to stay in my house for a year and hide from the world. It would bother me to be a hypocrite on so massive a scale as Ms. MacMahon and Rush Limbaugh.
I'm by no means good or perfect. I'm a packrat. I drink way tooo much Diet Mountain Dew, I'm up late with the owls and goth kids, and vampires. I curse fucking constantly. I hate most people. I always have my face in a book or the internet. I argue with evangelists, Witnesses and proselytizers. I watch too much MSNBC. I think about sex for at least an hour every day. I think Keith Olbermann is one of the sexiest men in cable news. My home is cluttered but i am working on reducing the clutter and getting rid of stuff; by giving good stuff to charity and pitching the crap. I am good at cleaning the house but i hate the work, and find it boring, lame and unbelievably fucking tedious.
I hope that if I make a really obvious factual error in this blog, someone will call me on it, so i can FIX it.

Arguing with Jehovah's Witnesses
The other day I had the joy of being awakened at a bright sunny hour to find Jehovah's Witnesses on my doorstep. I made the mistake of answering the door because I am also expecting a handyman to adjust the front door to seal tightly before winter.
It's the same two I've had before and i expect to see them again before the snow flies. They were trying to convince me what a crappy place the world is. They gave me a pamphlet that i have not yet read, i might read it later.
I'm American. I was born in 1978. I have the right to vote, to work, to go to college. I can have a bank account and credit cards without a male to cosign the account. I can go anywhere I like as long as I have money. I can get a passport and backpack in Europe or I could fly to New Zealand and go to Karekare beach. I have a roof over my head, square meals, Internet access, a library card, condoms and vaccinations. If I should have a daughter she can get an education and not be forced to be married agianst her will. She can be a doctor or a mortician or a guitar player. My life may have its crappy moments but , because of the time and the place where I was born, I'm really very fortunate.
"God made me an atheist. Who are you to question his wisdom." neatly sums up how i feel about religion.
For me the Bible is a mishmash of contradictions and I am probably shit out of luck when it comes to the JW version of heaven. It seems that their beliefs will only get 144,000 people into heaven, so what happens to the rest of the JWs? I'm not sure that i get that ....
When the bible was written by men, women and children were chattel, slavery was allowed, cloth had to be hand woven on looms, bottles were made out of leather, there were no antibiotics, not much was understoood how and why people got sick, women died giving birth, there weren't many books nor public schools, there were no computers, no electricity, and i can give more examples.... but i won't.
The bible is an atttempt to explain stuff to the desert tribes, and to give them good advice in a time when humanity had very litlle idea how the world worked. People believe in astrology as if 6.8 billion people could lead the same 12 lives. Identical twins do not have identical horoscopes. So, NO, Susanna I don't believe in Biblical inerrancy and infallibilty. What I PUT my trust in is science, honesty, integrity, and compassion. I'm all about the golden rule. I beleive that Karma gives us what we put out there.
I have been a reader my whole life. My parents want me to question authority, so i would not do well in a community of Witnesses, being the person that i am, who reads, questions, blogs, votes, and likes to argue. If there is a god, he made it, and it can't change. THAT'S how I ROLL. Belief in God is not for me.
What happens to the cynical secular individual who gives up her blue jeans, voter registration, birthday cake and blood transfusions to follow these narrowly limited rules? I think i'm shit outta luck, because if i could obey those rules and live that life I would still belong to the Baptist Church that my parents sent me to as a child. I am not sure why they chose that church to send us to, but it was convenient for them as this church had a bus service, brought us to the church and then took us home afterwards.

No, actually, WICCANT
With double emphasis on the CAN'T.
Christine O'Donnnell, my dear, let me fill you in on a few things....You can say you're me all you like, but as soon as you open your mouth again something else will come out that I will have to disagree with.
What have I heard? Quite alot from that pretty face, from YOUR mouth, sweetie, from the Bill Maher Politically Incorrect Clips and your interviews. I've seen you on Fox News, even though it makes my head ache and my brain hurt.
I read, I think, I vote, and I question Authority. I like having premarital sex, and i'm going to continue to have MORE. Lots. More. More. Oh, right there ... YEAAAAAH!
Politicians have been making backroom deals since there were the city-states of Ancient Greece and they will do so ONLY WHEN it stops being a viable way to get shit done.
I'm sure you're lovely to have coffee and pie with but who died and left you in charge of my vagina? I hate to point out the obvious but not everyone is Christian. Not everyone follows your playbook, Christine, and it is none of your business what I do in my home, within the privacy of a locked door and drawn shades. You, who spouts conservative hyperchristian beliefs, you who share your house with a boyfriend, you're just a hypocrite. That's not cool in my playbook. Green things growing grey and blue fuzz in my fridge are smarter than you are.
Fighting cancer, world hunger, disease and man's inhumantiy to his fellow man and WOMAN is a hell of a lot more imprtant than worrying about masturbation.
When I am with my partner, both of us being consenting adults btw, we are not hurting anyone. We care about each other and take pleasure in each other's company in many other ways, like cheesecake, chocolate, talking on the phone, movies, rock music, walks on the beach and breakfast.
Believing there is no God gives me more room for belief in family, people, love, truth, beauty, sex, Jell-o, and all the other things I can prove and that make this life the best life I will ever have. - Penn Jillette.
Religion is fundamentally opposed to everything I hold in veneration--courage, clear thinking, honesty, fairness, and, above all, love of the truth. -- H.L. Mencken
And as for me, I'll be over here taking my chances with the Wiccans and the secularists. I'll be masturbating, and continuing to have premarital sex while eating chocolate cheesecake, drinking champagne, and listening to classic rock with my lover.

Birth Control
So you want to ban abortions and birthcontrol ... you might be a nurse or anesthesiologist who objects to tubal ligations .... so you might be a pharmacist who gives someone static about filling a prescription for the pill ... or you are someone like Ken Buck who wants to pass a law to make these things illegal, and i must ask what the fuck is your damage? Who are you to tell me how many kids to have?
Who are you to tell me that I have to be a mommy because you ARE pro-life? What give you the right to tell someone to have a child they might not be able to take care of? Why is there nothing in the Bible about not being cruel, nor abusive to children? It's disturbing that there are those like Mother Teresa who set up clinics to "help" poor sick and dying people yet would not use antibiotics nor pain medications.
Why is there so much need for human life when there are 6.8 BILLION people on the planet NOW - many of whom don't have enough to eat or clean drinking water? Why the push for ignorance?
What's appallling to me is that in the modern year 2010 there are women who don't know how their bodies work, how food is digested and that there are people who think that condoms are a vector for spreading disease. If condoms spread disease, the manufacturers would be sued out of existence by those that were harmed by them.
How can there be mice with human brains when mice weigh an ounce or two and the human brain is two pounds?

Break Shit
There are days when I would like nothing more than to get a chainsaw, some paintball guns and spray paint and go on a tear to just fuck some shit up. My first target would be those crosses put up in memory of aborted children. They piss me off. I'd paiintball all the political signs and some SUVs just for the hell of it. I'd spraypaint hateful things on the Walmarts. I'd have someone in a skimask drive while i paintball a McMansion or three.
Luckily for people I am as poor as shit and cannot afford paintball guns and chainsaws.

A boyfriend, a bed, and some condoms
I have a man who cares about me and who I have had sex with but he lives in Florida. I wish I was so lucky as to live in the same house as he does, but it's not happening. If I did live in the same house, I would give him some sex every day, as much as we both wanted. Invisible Pink Unicorn knows I'd fuck him today if i could just find myself in the same county. I miss him terribly. I know he's just had surgery a couple of days ago and if i could, i would.
I went to high school in the mid 90s and I can think of at least a DOZEN girls who got pregnant and kept the babv. I am sure that my sisters who all went to the same schhool know more girls who had babies as well. I would have had sex then to if I hadn't been a fat nerd. I am still a geek but I am working on losing weight.
For this reason I find it difficult to beleive that Christine O'Donnell who shares a house with her boyfriend, and not having sex is a little mindboggling. I

Is that what you call a good christian?
I don't have the slightest idea what to do about the so called ground zero mosque. Are there really no other mosques or synagogues in New York City that such a fuss is being made over one building? Thanks a bunch Jones, and Sarah Palin, and Newt Gingrich! I would like to put my foot up pastor Jones' ass, because he is a jackass. I regard him as a troublemaking asshole. An ASSHOLE motherfucking shitstain on the flag he's wrapped himself in.
It is his right to say what he did about Islam, and I will not quote him here. It is also my right to call him a shithead and a fool. Certainly I am sorry he's american, and a resident of Florida, because Florida's a wonderful place and doesn’t deserve a fool like him cluttering up the place. Ordinarily i would capitalize the word 'pastor' but i do not feel that Jones is a credit to the god he claims to serve. I'd also like to point out that the Nazis burned books and perhaps Stalin and Mussolini did as well.
It is not freedom of religion to have another person tell us where to go to church and how often. It is not freedom of religion when you cram it down other people's throats, and it is probably not freedom of religion when a fundamentalist complains about what other fundamentalists do. Not all Islam did to us what happened on 11 September 2001. It was 19 men, some from Saudi Arabia, where you can only practice Islam, and they don't let women drive or vote or do a lot of stuff most American women take for granted.
I have little use for religion, and am not likely to set foot in any Islamic center ever, but i feel that it is disgraceful, and antithetical to American freedom that this much hullaballoo is being made over a space that is a dilapidated Burlington Coat Factory, and now some propose to micromanage what's being done with NYC real estate? What's so conservative about that?
I see on MSNBC that there are other churches, strip clubs, restaurants and IPU knows what else nearer to "Ground Zero" than the community center. What is it, with all these small-government tea-partying neo-Puritan busybodies wanting to spend time, legislation and $$$$ micromanaging what the American people do and who they love, what they wear and what colour their house is?
