When The Self-Righteous Are Downright Wrong

In light of the Governor Sanford affair, I'm just wondering how so many people still justify their opposition to same-sex marriage and gay adoption based on this notion that heterosexual marriage is superior to homosexual marriage when, in fact, many of these same public, vocal defenders of traditional marriage are screwing everything that crosses their eyeline. Male, female, boys, girls...whatever. But then they get up on a stage or in front of a microphone and call someone else immoral or say that every gay union is wrong and corrupt.

Maybe we just have to wait until EVERY politicians' extramarital affair is exposed and there won't be anyone left to oppose same-sex marriage.

It's a joke.

Britney Spears can run to Las Vegas with a buddy and get married in an Elvis Presley chapel as a joke and THAT was more legal than two women who have loved one another for 20 years and share their entire lives together.

Sad.

And don't get me started on 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell'. President Obama needs to do all he can to get that idiotic rule reversed ASAP.

One unexpected byproduct of the bogus Iranian elections that have American Conservatives very nervous

By showing millions of protestors in the streets of Iran decrying the unfair elections and calling for a more democratic, accountable government, the very mindset that the GOP has tried to foster in this country about Iran is tumbling down.

Remember...the Axis of Evil...these people were supposed to be an entire nation of bloodthirsty savages whose hatred of America and fanatical, rabid, frothy-mouthed desire to drink the blood of our babies was only matched by their desire to fund, endorse and engage in international terrorism.

Not anymore.

What's being broadcast on every news channel are hundreds of thousands of young, intelligent Iranians wearing sneakers, drinking soda and listening to iPods as they OPPOSE their theocratic government in a scene very reminiscent of the 1960s here in America.

Wait a minute. That's not what FoxNews has been telling me all these years. They've been openly selling the idea that the entire region is filled with turban-wearing potential suicide bombers who cheer in the streets when Americans are killed and want to establish a worldwide Caliphate.

But all I've been seeing for the last couple of weeks are a people yearning to breathe free. A young people who are standing up to death threats and threats of intimidation and imprisonment by going out and protesting for a free and fair election.

Had Mr. McCain gotten his way, he would have been 'bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb Iran-ing' THESE people and not some monolithic group of savages or animals who couldn't be reasoned with.

While it is clear that our GOVERNMENTS have problems with one another. Perhaps this Iranian election will inadvertendly open the door to a new perception of Iran by the West. That they are not our natural enemy and that while we need to keep close tabs on the actions of their government, the Iranian PEOPLE are just like us in many ways. They believe in and love their God, they want free and fair elections and they just want to a stable, prosperous society in which to raise their family.
