Time for a short telenovela... El gran varón, Simón El Gran Varon, The Big Man In a hospital room, At 9:43, Simon was born. It was the summer of ’56, He was the pride of Don Andrés, Because he was a boy. He was brought up like everyone else, With a tough hand and severity, he never talked back. When you grow up, you’re going to study the same b.s. like your father. Listen good, you have to be a big man. Simon left the country, and far from home he forgot all about that sermon. He changed his way of walking, he wore a skirt, lipstick and carried a handbag. People say that one day his father went to visit him by surprise. Wow, what a mistake! A woman walked by and spoke to him: Hello, daddy, how are you? Don’t you recognize me? It’s me, Simon! Simon, your son, the big man! Chorus: You can never correct nature, the tree that is born bent will never straighten its trunk. But he cared too much what people would say. He never spoke to his son again, and he left him forever. Don’t complain, Andrés, don’t complain at all. If it’s lemons that fall from the sky then learn how to make lemonade. Then as the years passed, Andrés thought better, and he became furious that his son never wrote to him. Finally he received news about whatever happened to his son, And Andrés never forgot the day that he received that sad call. In a hospital room, With a strange disease Simon died. It was the summer of ’86, And at the bedside of patient number ten, Nobody cried. You have to have pity, and quit the moralizing, Those who are free of sin should cast the first stone. And he who can never forgive, has the most certain fate, Of living with his bitter regrets in his own private hell.

Colo. Springs First Presbyterian biddies decide they want to take it with them
The downtown First Prez congregation voted 95% to leave its too gay-accepting mother church and launch their own cult of bigotry and warmongering.
Tennessee Fire-Non-Fighters and the Bible
The language used by the fire-non-fighter is heavily ingrained indoctrination. There's a movement with some familiar names on the letterheads, spokesfreaks not leaders, Beck, Hannity, O'Reilly, Malkin... people whose ambitions are to create an American Sha'ariah based on their own interpretation of the Word. Or more importantly how the words of the Word get translated into English. They believe that somehow King James was a Liberal. Rather than the really vicious killer he was, and point to speculations on his sexuality, which really doesn't make three quarters of a fat rats ass. The dude was a killer, that trumps any other social or moral consideration you could think of. But the contention is that the Shakespearian English, and they toss in the "Shakespeare was queer, you know" wink wink nudge nudge low-flying canard as evidence, used in the KJV 1611 was "effeminate". Oh, he's a lumberjack, he's okay. (so gay?) And they're actually Re-Writing the Bible to reflect what they think it should be. Nothing new there. Even by their own admission. Many of them cite the "Thou shalt not Kill" commandment, saying that "They" meaning, not the person speaking who is as ignorant of who "They" are as he is of the actual grammatical structure of Classical Hebrew, BUT "They" Apocryphally proved that it really should have said "Thou shalt not Murder" and thus place a distinction among the concepts of Killings not authorized by the King-du-jour and those which are authorized. AND then make the silly ass demand that WE, the "peasants", never question "Their" word on it. Does Hannity or Malkin or Beck or Jack van Impe or any single one of their Demented Demonic Disciples actually speak Classical Hebrew fluently? I've never met one who does and I've been in fundamentalist churches all my life. The same way the Lying Freaks say that They, and only They, can possibly know the Original Intent of the "Founding Fathers" who just by a coincidence aren't the ones who actually FOUGHT the revolution, but those Wealthy Landed Aristocrats who commanded it. And the sources of their Arcane-yet-Unquestionable Knowledge of the Constitution are the sources of the Religious Revisionists. Karl Rove and Newt Gingrich are also in their sorry lying ChickenHawk lot. But they're going to, just like the Fire-Non-Fighter, claim that somehow They have been given the revelation that Thou Shalt Not Kill is a grammatical error in a language none of Them even speaks. Apparently the concept has been sold to more than a few individuals. And it's Mighty Convenient if those who seek to rule over everybody else offer up their version of the Word of God as being the unquestionable basis of their so-called "Authority". God Himself hath verily told us through secret Revelation that we of course are not obligated to prove in any way, that YOU must bow down before us, and accept our Mighty Rule as surely as you would His, without question or dissent Nothing new there either. The contention against "bad" kings as opposed to
Tennessee Firefighters watch house burn down
This is what we can expect when Mayor Lyin' Hell Rivera and his cronies privatize city services like the thieving bitches are going to tell us at next Monday's budget announcement. One of the fire-non-fighters said that it's an example of "robust Christianity, rather than that sappy effeminate version of Christianity where people help each other". Well, you KNOW that got my blood pumping. First off, the guy came off as being really insecure about his own masculinity. And rather than coming out of his closet, he tries to "drag" Jesus in with him. Let's take it a notch further. Why not have the police be on a for-pay basis? Anybody who can't afford police protection, too bad so sad. Make it even better, have fully privatized "police" auxiliary groups like the Minutemen patrol, and people who DON'T pay up, well, they must have something to hide, so let's just drag them down to the court, which of course will be a pay-for-play proposition too, can't afford an attorney? Too bad, you should have planned ahead and been born rich. And if bad people dress up like the Private "police" and just break into your house and rob you at gunpoint, then the Real Minutemen Private "police" will investigate, if you pay their fee. What's that? The Bad Wicked Naughty "pretend" private police took all your money so you can't pay that fee? Awww... too bad, maybe we can get Glenn Beck or his Zombie followers to lecture you about Christianity. For a fee of course. Which brings it back to the Other Side, the nonsensical non-secular non sequitur about Jesus telling the closet case Mucho Macho "christian" to torch the place errr Watch it burn to "teach the punk a lesson about paying up". (By the way, that's Rural Tennessee, means the guy whose house they Burned Down errr... watched it burn down, was probably their cousin.) See, the anonymous Rich Man from the Lazarus parable, he wasn't in Hell for having no compassion on Lazarus, O good Heavens No! He was in Hell for being effeminate and not calling the cops and locking his dumpster to keep that bum Lazarus from eating a free meal. And the Samaritan, helping that fellow who got robbed and beaten and left laying in the ditch, he should have just gone right up to the fellow, kicked him in the face and told him it was his own fault for not hiring the local Minutemen to guard him. Then walk away laughing. And that Jesus dude, What The Hell? DYING for people who couldn't possibly pay Him? Damn, He must have been a really effeminate sissy-boy. Probably had long hair and didn't wear pants either. Or boots. Bet He had sandals or something sissy like that. The ConservaTards like Glenn TeaTard Beck and Ms Stupid Sarah are all on the side of the Redneck Assholes who watched one of their cousins get burned out of his house. From Macho Christian Values. But that's what we're going to have if
Glenn Beck exposes himself publicly!
OK, not like THAT, but with his newest Crusade/Jihad/RightWing Terrorist campaign against Gays. Not just gay rights, but Gay PEOPLE. You know, Human Beings created in the Image of God, the same God Glenn Beck claims to worship? I know there's an internet rule that arbitrarily prohibits people from comparing others to the Nazis, even when they behave like Nazis... Something that is of enormous benefit mainly to those who behave like Nazis and just don't want to be noticed in their Nazi-like behavior. But this behavior of his is much like the "special" Kamaradisch relationship between Ernst Rohm, Adolf Hitler and Josef Goebbels. By the way, the literal translation of Kamarad is reported to be "bedfellow". Somebody who spreches die Deutcsh better than I do would have to confirm or cancel that one. In a less apocryphal statement, guys who are most freaked out by Homosexuality are usually afraid that they themselves might be attracted to other men. So perhaps this is Beck's way of outing himself.
Sir Elton sings for Rush Dumbaugh’s 4th wedding…
And the question was asked, "why castigate Mr John? Just because somebody disagrees with you politically, does that make him the Enemy?" In the case of Rush Limbaugh and his Fellow Hate-Speech Mongers, yes, it does. Not that Sir Elton declared war on Right Wing Retards, but the Right Wing Retards declared war on HIM. And on other Gay PEOPLE, and on Black, Hispanic, Arabic, Jewish, Muslim, Native American, French, Asian, and Liberal PEOPLE. Literal war, because the Retards who not only call themselves Dittoheads, so does Mr Limburger. And not only admits but Boasts that they're stupid enough to believe anything he says and do anything he commands. So why, with this great power to influence them, has Rush never actually instructed them to NOT commit Murders? Instead, the list grows longer every week, but let's pick out a few choice Victims... James Byrd, dragged to death in Jasper Texas, for being Black, Matthew Brady,for being Gay, Brisenia Flores, for being Hispanic, (age nine and American) Bill Sparkman for being a part time Census Worker, Linda Kraeger and Greg McKendry at the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church in Knoxville, for the "Crime" (according to Rush, his Hate-speech Accomplices and their Demented Disciples) of Not Being Hate-Freak Disciples of Rush and the Fox News Hate Cartel. A simple "difference of Political Opinion"? Rush has also actively campaigned, and incited further acts of violent hatred, against making Hate Crimes a federal crime. Aside from Rush being most likely, judging from the violent nature of his Homophobia, a closet case himself, unable to deal with his orientation... Aside from that affecting the way he handles, or more appropriately, Fails To Handle interpersonal relationships such as between himself and his first three brides "Beards", and thus making them more intimate victims of his Hatred. What Sir Elton did by accepting the gig to sing for the latest Misogynist Hate Crime Ceremony, was accept Blood Money from a person who gained every cent of that money by inspiring Hatred and inciting Violence against not only Gays and Blacks etc... but against anybody who Doesn't Follow Along With His Terroristic Demented Disciples. Mr Limbaugh has never gotten any money for ever preaching tolerance, or love, or even Civilized Behavior. His ibillion-plus dollars of Blood Money gaind ALWAYS and exclusively for spewing Hatred and lies in defense of Murders.
Pride Fest a good place to avoid crackers
COLORADO SPRINGS- Time for Pride Fest 2008, Sunday July 20 in Acacia Park. Its summer fair atmosphere is what Springs Spree used to be, reinforcing a fun, intimate sense of community. What's Pride got that Springs Spree or Territory Days do not? I have a theory. Homophobia. It's the same reason a gay bar has the best dance scene. Fewer idiots afraid of caching the gay bug. Bigotry, idiocy, poverty, obesity, fit a socio-economic profile that tends to be uneducated, uncultured and I'll say it, lousy company. Homosexuality may cut across the same proportional demographic sample, but at least at the annual Pride Fest the conversationally-challenged are outnumbered by the heterosexual social-minded participants. My true colors.
The Gay Marriage election year bugaboo
Some things come around every four years like leap years. The Olympics, US presidential elections, and the Gay Marriage wedge issue bugger-boo. I remember in the deluge of election 2004, feeling a nagging frustration that the preoccupation of gay and lesbian Americans over the right to wed might have contributed to George W. Bush gaining his second term. As a heterosexual white male it was easy for me to consider their sexual equality struggle ill-timed. Was I right? Of course not. The quest to legitimize gay unions is doubtless as old as [gay] man and has been gathering steam in modern times just as its foes are running out of excuses. In America religious bigots against gay unions, abetted by insurance companies who don't want to pay partner benerfits, catch their wind ON ELECTION YEARS apparently, and stage their outcry before November elections, whether the candidates at hand are divided on the issue or not.
Homophobic violence in Mexico threatens a youth culture sub-group- The Emos
There is a wave of homophobic violence currently rolling across Mexico against a youth sub-culture group called 'Emos', short for 'Emotionals'. A quick look at youtube.com shows video after video in Spanish threatening these young teenagers with violence, usually for being considered effiminate and weak. You tube should be ashamed to allow this hate material to clog up its network as it is currently allowing. Several violent attacks have occurred against EMO teenagers across Mexico and the Mexican federal government has had to step in. One gets the idea though that it is more to protect their tourism industry than for any other reason. This government is not known for its promotion of tolerance and multi-culturalism, with the ruling party, the PAN itself, having a long history of homophobic rhetoric employed in its political campaigns. One notable feature of this wave of homophobic violence in Mexico, was the encouragement by the semi official Mexican TV network, Televisa, in the initial attacks against Emos, but now the realization that this wave of Nazi like behavior might actually hurt Mexico's international image has braked their zeal for abusing young teenagers. What a cowardly media Mexico has! It reminds one of Fox News right here in the US. See Mexico's Emo-Bashing Problem for some reportage in the US of this situation.
