Adam Sandler votes fucking Republican

I’m no fan of Winston Churchill… fat fuck that he was, but I love this one:

“The best argument against democracy is a five minute conversation with the average voter.”

Now, here’s the thing…

this represents 2 things to me:

1. an undeniable truth
2. the sickening arrogance of the right-wing

those 2 points seem mutually exclusive, don’t they? and I agree… they are…

but at the same time, that’s exactly how I feel…

they ARE mutually exclusive, but..

I think that the common guy on the street is a political idiot…

and understanding that truth, the right-wing sees it as something to manipulate, control and abuse…

whereas I see it as something that needs to be stopped… people should be educated to understand politics and to not shirk their political obligations… not just for themselves, but for their family, friends and neighbours…

Here’s my outlook on politics…

when considering an issue, I consider this, do I want that issue thrust on my brother, uncle or best friend if that issue applies to them…

• if my best friend was just laid off, do I want welfare reforms to screw him?
• if my uncle was just diagnosed with some nasty cancer, do I want health care reform to screw him?
• if my brother just came out of the closet with the love of his life, do I want the gay marriage debate to prevent him from having as happy a life as he can?

yeah, sure, welfare reform, health-care reform can affect me directly… maybe help me save a few bucks… but what the fuck? do I just consider my own pocketbook and say “fuck you” to everyone else?

what a low, selfish, mean-spirited, petty and frankly sick attitude to take…

and the funniest thing of all, these are the attitudes of xians… those “turn the other cheek”, “do unto others”, “god is love” people…

Matthew 23:15
“Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of hell as you are.

Luke 6:42
How can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when you yourself fail to see the plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

fuck I love throwing their shit back at them…  ;-)

Vanessa Alarcon saw them while working at an antiwar rally in Lafayette Square last month. “I heard someone say, ‘Oh my god, look at those,’ ” the college senior from New York recalled. “I look up and I’m like, ‘What the hell is that?’ They looked kind of like dragonflies or little helicopters. But I mean, those are not insects.”

scary shit!

especially when you tack in this little blurb:

That is just one of the questions hovering over a handful of similar sightings at political events in Washington and New York.
