I don't agree with abortion 100% of the time... actually, now I do. I'm nothing short of a misanthrope at this time. Shit, if you're 8.75 months pregnant with a little demon, get it scraped out because... yeah.
OK, perhaps I'm being too harsh here.
But whatever side of the abortion fence you sit on, one thing must be certain; the murder of an abortion doctor, most recently the murder of George Tiller (in a CHURCH, fercryinoutloud!), is abominable. By killing a person who was very much alive, had a birthday, had a family and all that shit (Social Security number, in the books, etc.; whereas, let's face it, fetuses DON'T), whether it be an abortion doctor or a young child or an old woman crossing the street, that is a worse crime than killing a fetus and it directly contradicts the term "pro-life." Though, our last president was "pro-life" and sent thousands of men and women off to die in a bullshit war, and in turn, had a bunch of civilians killed...
Now, another Christian nutjob is coming out saying that he is praying for the death of President Obama.
Listen in to the madness:
Yeah, I know it was broadcasted on Fox News Radio, but even the guy interviewing this Pastor Wiley Drake (sounds like a fuckin cartoon character) seems to be flabbergasted and appaled by what he is saying. Supposedly, this guy has openly engaged in imprecatory prayer against the current president.
Shouldn't this guy be in jail? If Tim Robbins or Michael Moore (or someone even more left than them) came out 6 or 7 years ago and said that they hoped that George W. Bush would die, they would have been sent to Guantanamo! Shit, they might have been executed! The right would yell out treason or sedition for such an act! Now, this nutjob gets on the radio and spews out that he is praying for the death of Obama?
In all honesty, I have spewed out anti-GOP fervor for years, in LiveJournal entries, in this blog, in my high school newspaper, amongst my friends, everywhere. I think that Dubya is one of the 5 worst presidents ever, I think Palin is an idiot, I think Rush Limbaugh is a fat piece of shit. But I have never wished death upon them. I have never prayed for it (not like I believe in such deities anyway), I have never suggested that an assassin should end their lives, I have never wished it for even a second because that would be wrong. I hated every second that Bush was in office, but I never wished him dead. I wished that he would get impeached or defeated in elections, but never dead.
And that brings me to another point I haven't written about, and it's old news now, but I need to say this: I think Rush Limbaugh stating thast he hopes for Obama to fail is downright treasonous and hateful, and exemplifies fawlessly another GOP double-standard. What if someone from NPR or Janeane Garofalo said back in 2002 that they hoped that Bush would fail? Rush would have been on that mic faster than his mouth on a dozen Krispy Kremes and called for some heads on sticks! Now, Limbaugh hopes that Obama fails, and he's a fuckin hero to the few GOP loyalists they got left, and he's enjoying a resurgence in popularity!!!! I may have disliked Bush but I never wanted him to fail either. I wanted him to succeed. I don't like feeling rage and anger towards the leader of my country. I hoped that Bush would prove that he wasn't the overpriviledged fuck-up of one of the most powerful families in American politics (not like his dad was much better) and his fraudulent at best administration would produce some good out of it. But he didn't and I knew it wasn't. But I never hoped for it. I stayed up all night on 11/2/2004 hoping that John Kerry would nab Ohio's 20 electoral votes to win the election, sure, but that's different. Completely different. My point is; if your president fails, your country certainly does not benefit from it much. But that doesn't make a difference to Mr. Bouncy Man; either way he'll earn $37 million a year.
