<p>If there&#8217;s one thing America simply <em>cannot </em>get enough of, it is the rich, racist, <a href="http://democralypsenow.com/whats-the-scariest-thing-to-come-out-of-kentucky-no-not-the-new-double-down-rand-paul-silly" target="_blank">radical Kentucky-fried-son-of-a-wingnut</a> whose not-so-evolved views on homosexuality and civil rights make even his ancient cryptkeeper father, Papa Ron, seem normal by comparison.</p>
<p><em>Almost</em>.</p>
<p>Good thing Rand Paul will do whatever it takes, blurt whatever comes out of his big, white power mouth to avoid slipping ever closer to that scary, dangerous place (called the 21st century) where black people have rights, women are more than tits in a skirt, and homosexuals are more than just the sweaty, gyrating, chiseled physiques that haunt Rand Paul&#8217;s dreams whenever he closes his eyes.</p>
<p>Bein&#8217; so straight, white and Christian must be hard!</p>
<p>Why not get a (non-gay) load off your chest and tell us about it, Rand?</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;The president recently weighed in on marriage and you know he said his views were evolving on marriage.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>HAWHAWHAW, imagine that! A sentient being adapting in order to survive and thrive in a constantly-changing environment? Yeah, try telling that to the Dodo bird <em>and</em> the Republican Party!</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Call me cynical, but I wasn&#8217;t sure his views on marriage could get any gayer,&#8221; he said, drawing laughs from the crowd.</p></blockquote>
<p>How about we just call you &#8220;asshole&#8221; instead?</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;It did kind of bother me though that [Obama] used the justification for it in a biblical reference,&#8221; Paul continued, as did the laughter. &#8220;He said the biblical golden rule caused him to be for gay marriage. And I&#8217;m like, &#8216;what version of the Bible is he reading?&#8217;</p></blockquote>
<p>OMG, probably the Queen James version??</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;&#8230; I don&#8217;t know what version he&#8217;s getting it from.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Me neither, but either way, he&#8217;s most certainly getting it from the rear.</p>
<blockquote><p>He continued: &#8220;Now that doesn&#8217;t mean we need to be harsh and mean and hate people&#8230;&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Though by all means, feel free!</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;But that doesn&#8217;t mean that we have to go ahead and give up our traditions. We&#8217;ve got 6,000 years of tradition.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Hunting, gathering, slaying of the first born, bloodletting, witch hunts, crucifixtion, crusades, forced conversions, black plagues, beheadings, torture, stoning, slavery, rape, genocide, famine, near-constant war, chaos, disease, nuclear bombs,  and of course the nuclear family of one doomsday prepping man plus one doomsday prepping woman plus one and a half kids plus one pet, all crammed in an underground bunker like Jesus intended.</p>
<blockquote><p>Saying it was time for traditionalists to stand together to &#8220;save the Republic&#8221; and that the traditional family unit needed to be defended, Paul declared, &#8220;The family is a really important thing. We shouldn&#8217;t just give up on it.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>We should spend every waking moment trying to destroy it, so abused and neglected foster children can be spared the horrors of living in a loving household with Adam and Steve and go back to the loveless orphanage where they belong.</p>
<blockquote><p>“We’ve introduced the Life at Conception Act, the Pro-Life Act, the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act, the Child Interstate Abortion Notification Act, I’m also co-sponsor of the Human Life Amendment,” Paul said. “I’ve also been trying to defund Planned Parenthood. Anybody here for that?”</p></blockquote>
<p>Aww hells yeah! If you&#8217;ve got a dick, but don&#8217;t know dick about pushing a child through a vaginal canal, and care about life more than anything in the whole wide world (until it&#8217;s actually born), then the Rand Paul Devolution is for you!</p>
<p>Remember, Rand Paul will stand up for your rights by <a href="http://democralypsenow.com/rand-pauls-headstomping-supporter-demands-apology-for-some-scary-activist-ladys-head-falling-under-his-innocent-shoe" target="_blank">stomping on everyone else&#8217;s</a>, including any dumb broad stupid enough to be a lesbian <em>and</em> protest outside a Rand Paul rally.</p>
<p>Because two wrongs don&#8217;t make a right. They make a Rand.</p>

<p>Woohoo! Congratulations, Gays and Gayettes!

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" title="Obama Supports Gays!" src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/578045_10150705288817723_673387722_9873202_1092677754_n.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="366" /></p>
<p>Woohoo! Congratulations, Gays and Gayettes! President Barack Obama Glama has <em>finally</em> come out of the closet on his very controversial belief that gay men and women should have the same marriage rights as Kim Kardashian and that one tall goofy looking fellow on Jay-Z&#8217;s team, Kris Humptydumpty or whatever.</p>
<p>Thus, President Obama&#8217;s evolution back to the position he originally held in 1996, when running for president was just a twinkle in his eye, is complete, and all those who doubted his liberal street cred/coolness factor can totally go suck it (gay way included this time!).</p>
<blockquote><p>OBAMA: I have to tell you that over the course of several years as I have talked to friends and family and neighbors when I think about members of my own staff who are in incredibly committed monogamous relationships, same-sex relationships, who are raising kids together, when I think about those soldiers or airmen or marines or sailors who are out there fighting on my behalf and yet feel constrained, even now that Don&#8217;t Ask Don&#8217;t Tell is gone, because they are not able to commit themselves in a marriage, at a certain point I&#8217;ve just concluded that for me personally it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same sex couples should be able to get married.</p></blockquote>
<p>Well Hallef*ckinglujah! America can now enter the 21st century, and join Argentina, Belgium, Canada, Iceland, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, South Africa, and Sweden in granting gays and lesbians the right to be as miserable and undersexed as everyone else in holy matrimony.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, current Republican presidential candidate, Mittens Romney, whose forefathers &#8220;redefined&#8221; marriage as between one man and as many women as he could swat into his desert abode using the Book of Mormon, continues to <a href="http://democralypsenow.com/mitt-romney-sticks-to-his-it-gets-worse-campaign-bravely-allowing-his-gay-adviser-to-be-bullied-out-of-his-job" target="_blank">evolve the opposite way</a>.</p>
<p>And now that he opposes even civil unions, Governor Gay Marriage is well on his way to losing the White House, but fulfilling his lifelong dream of getting to be the next, totally non-gay Governor of North Carolina.</p>
<p>Like Mormon Jesus intended.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.examiner.com/sites/default/files/styles/large_lightbox/hash/1335955649_Screen%20Shot%202012-05-02%20at%206.41.21%20AM.png"><img class="aligncenter" title="Rick Grenell" src="http://www.examiner.com/sites/default/files/styles/large_lightbox/hash/1335955649_Screen%20Shot%202012-05-02%20at%206.41.21%20AM.png" alt="" width="514" height="410" /></a></p>
<p>Oh no-zees! Looks like the constant spew of homophobic outrage from the strictly heterosexual, <a href="http://democralypsenow.com/rick-santorum-is-frothing-mad-that-equal-rights-for-all-applies-to-weird-scary-tempting-homosexuals" target="_blank">not-at-all-suspiciously-anal-sex-obsessed closet cases on the right</a> over Mitt Romney&#8217;s hiring of an openly gay campaign adviser has worked its wondrous, sodomite-busting charms.</p>
<p>Apparently, the yelling was so loud about Mittens&#8217; decision to hire a <em>known </em>homosexual to advise him on the GOP&#8217;s favorite pastime, the manliest of manly activities, protracted bloody wars, that the homosexual adviser in question Richard Grenell was forced to resign. You know, Mitt has very delicate eardrums!</p>
<p>So with all the forceful determination you&#8217;d expect from a man with the backbone of a gelatinous <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=blobfish&amp;ie=utf-8&amp;oe=utf-8&amp;aq=t&amp;rls=org.mozilla:en-GB:official&amp;client=firefox-a" target="_blank">blobfish</a>, Mitt Romney nobly defended his staffer and responded to the uproar by stashing Grenell in the closet and praying the whole thing would just go away. Sort of like <a href="http://democralypsenow.com/mitt-romney-is-not-concerned-about-the-very-poor-nor-apparently-winning-anything-but-the-hatred-of-99-of-america" target="_blank">poor people</a>.</p>
<p>From the <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/right-turn/post/exclusive-richard-grenell-hounded-from-romney-campaign-by-anti-gay-conservatives/2012/05/01/gIQAccGcuT_blog.html" target="_blank"><em>Washington Post</em></a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>GRENELL: I have decided to resign from the Romney campaign as the Foreign Policy and National Security Spokesman. While I welcomed the challenge to confront President Obama’s foreign policy failures and weak leadership on the world stage, my ability to speak clearly and forcefully on the issues has been greatly diminished by the hyper-partisan discussion of personal issues that sometimes comes from a presidential campaign.</p></blockquote>
<p><em>Sometimes</em>. Like when that presidential campaign is Republican and involves anyone not constantly trolling for the nearest hot tits in a skirt to receive his man seed, like the good Lord intended.</p>
<blockquote><p>I want to thank Governor Romney for his belief in me and my abilities and his clear message to me that being openly gay was a non-issue for him and his team.</p></blockquote>
<p>Such a non-issue in fact that no one dare mention his terrible affliction so help them God.</p>
<p>&#8220;Officials from the Romney campaign and respected Republicans not on the campaign contacted Ric Grenell over the weekend in an attempt to persuade him not to leave the campaign. Grenell was upset that there was no public statement of support for him by the campaign and no supportive social conservatives were enlisted to calm the waters.&#8221;</p>
<p>Where the F is Moses when you need him?</p>
<blockquote><p>“We are disappointed that Ric decided to resign from the campaign for his own personal reasons,” Romney campaign manager Matt Rhoades said in a statement. “We wanted him to stay because he had superior qualifications for the position he was hired to fill.”</p></blockquote>
<p>What?? They always thought gay people loved <a href="http://democralypsenow.com/new-york-says-i-do-to-gay-marriage-while-republicans-say-i-dont-to-any-all-rational-thought" target="_blank">getting bent over and screwed from behind</a>!</p>

<p>Rejoice gays and gayettes! New Jersey&#8217;s Senate passed a gay marriage bill today! Now it will shimmy-shake its fabulous self on down to the State Assembly, which will pass it, because why the hell not? From there it will shake its groove thing over to the desk of New Jersey <a href="http://democralypsenow.com/the-big-ticket-is-being-the-size-of-an-elephant-too-big-even-for-republican-voters" target="_blank">Governor of Sandwiches</a> <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Fat Fattie</span> Chris Christie, who will promptly veto it and then <a href="http://democralypsenow.com/nj-governor-chris-christie-wont-say-if-he-believes-in-evolution-but-admits-his-deep-belief-in-second-helpings" target="_blank">curse out some old ladies and Kindergarteners</a> for his tasty after-breakfast snack.</p>
<p>Naturally, Democrats in the Garden State won&#8217;t have the numbers to overturn Christie&#8217;s veto, so the sanctity of marriage in the filthy, grease-filled shores of New Jersey will fortunately remain limited to Snooki and the bronzed Italian meathead kind enough to take her hand in both holy matrimony <em>and</em> while relieving herself in the back alley of some seedy bar outside Atlantic City.</p>
<p>Because in order to actually become legal in New Jersey, gay marriage legislation would have to accomplish what light itself cannot, which is, of course, to get around Chris Christie.</p>
<p>But Democrats aren&#8217;t about to allow 500 lbs of redfaced blubbery obstruction stop them from celebrating their awesome, nothing-more-than-symbolic victory for equality and decency, amiright?</p>
<p>Fuggedaboutit!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2012/02/optimism_on_gay_nuptials_in_nj.html">From the <em>Star-Ledger</em>:</a></p>
<blockquote><p>Gay marriage opponents say such a stalemate will put New Jersey’s 10-year debate on ice for a long time. Supporters, however, will treat a vote by both houses as an important milestone in a fight they will continue to wage.<br />
“I don’t think there’s one civil rights leader in the South who thought ending segregation would be a slam dunk on the first time out,” said Assemblyman Reed Gusciora (D-Mercer), New Jersey’s first openly gay lawmaker.<br />
Steven Goldstein, chairman of the gay rights advocacy group Garden State Equality, said the group will celebrate if it passes.<br />
“This week’s marriage equality votes are like the World Series, the Super Bowl and a Barbra Streisand concert all wrapped up in one,” he said.</p></blockquote>
<p>Or to phrase it in a way Chris Christie can digest, let&#8217;s call it the Turducken of civil rights.</p>

<p>Finally, a Christmas story we can all get behind!</p>
<p>It&#8217;s been awhile since one of America&#8217;s <a href="http://democralypsenow.com/tea-party-leader-takes-pro-bullying-stance-towards-gay-teens-because-he-loves-freedom-the-freedom-to-hate-anyone-not-straight-white-deeply-in-denial">fabulous, self-loathing, Republican closet cases</a> accidentally outed himself by getting <a href="http://democralypsenow.com/anti-gay-alabama-wingnut-bill-johnson-is-against-sinful-same-sex-families-unless-he-has-a-hand-in-creating-them">caught in some secret gay sexytime scandal</a> (we&#8217;re talking months here!), until a dandy Southern gent/failed Congressional candidate/wingnut mayor of Southaven, Mississippi by the name of Greg Davis forgot about a little thing called cash (and public records!) and decided to go on his wild, taxpayer-funded $170,000 shopping spree in booze, fancy meals, and gay sex shops in Canada using his very traceable, very public, city-issued credit card.</p>
<p>Ooopsies!</p>
<p>The sexytime freebies lasted until a bunch of lame, fun-hating auditors noticed there were, uh, <em>five hundred pages</em> of receipts for the mayor’s extracurricular activities and decided to have a look-see at his credit card expenditures. Uh Oh! Umm, yeah let&#8217;s try this again, meet Greg Davis, the formerly-closeted gay, formerly-employed former mayor who has never heard of cash<em> or</em> considered that purchasing frivolous fish dinners and frisky sex toys on the public dime is still a crime, albeit a slightly embarrassing one.</p>
<p>From the <a href="http://www.commercialappeal.com/news/2011/dec/16/davis-receipts-prompt-frank-talk/"><em>Commercial Appeal </em>newspaper:</a></p>
<blockquote><p>“At this point in my life and in my career, while I have tried to maintain separation between my personal and public life, it is obvious that this can no longer remain the case,” Davis said at his Southaven home. “While I have performed my job as mayor, in my opinion, as a very conservative, progressive individual [<em>Ed note: Huh?</em>] — and still continue to be a very conservative individual — I think that it is important that I discuss the struggles I have had over the last few years when I came to the realization that I am gay.”</p></blockquote>
<p>Which pales in comparison to the struggles he&#8217;s had over the realization that he&#8217;s <em>also </em>a generous tipper, which breaks the GOP (Gay One Percenters&#8217;) cardinal rule of treating other people in the exact opposite way as you&#8217;d want to be treated yourself.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;[D]uring a dinner for legislators and attorneys at the Mint Restaurant in Ridgeland, Miss., Davis left a $1,000 tip on a $2,509.43 bill that included two bottles of Opus One wine for $415 each.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>OMG, so not only is Greg Davis a total homo, but he&#8217;s also doling out huge tips to the servers of his fancy meals, like some one-man bleeding-heart liberal secret welfare program for America&#8217;s beleaguered food service industry workers?</p>
<p>Ugh, what&#8217;s next, charity work for the poor or something gross like that?</p>
<blockquote><p>The auditor&#8217;s office confirmed that Davis billed the city for the $67 purchase at Priape, which describes itself on its website as &#8220;Canada&#8217;s premiere gay lifestyle store and sex shop.&#8221;</p>
<p>As for the receipts, Davis, a Republican who ran unsuccessfully for Congress in 2008 on a conservative, family-values platform, said he couldn’t discuss specifics on the advice of his attorney.</p></blockquote>
<p>And also because of the replica Ron Jeremy Dong in his mouth.</p>
<p>But don&#8217;t worry, Mr. Mayor. It gets better!</p>
<p>After all, prison couldn&#8217;t <a href="http://democralypsenow.com/mississippi-where-magnolias-mud-pie-morbid-obesity-mingle">really be worse than Mississippi</a> could it?</p>

<p>Pop quiz: What does a failed, anti-gay, conservative Christian politician do two years after losing his 2009 campaign to become <a href="http://democralypsenow.com/new-alabama-governor-wants-to-know-whos-your-daddy-hint-if-it-doesnt-rhyme-with-reeses-youre-a-bastard-who-no-one-loves">Alabama&#8217;s newest, craziest, wingnut governor</a>?</p>
<p>If you guessed embark on a lesbian-impregnating rampage in New Zealand, despite his own homophobic past and without the knowledge of his two-time Mrs. America finalist wife, give yourself a round of applause, you&#8217;re right!</p>
<p>How does Bill Johnson, a crazed wingnut hack from &#8216;Bama, go from preaching <a href="http://democralypsenow.com/obama-administration-announces-global-quest-to-save-gay-people-rick-perry-denounces-it-in-personal-quest-to-save-himself-from-seeming-like-a-good-person">about the hot, erotic evils of homosinuality</a> in America&#8217;s Deep South to masturbating into a cup for lesbians 7,982 miles away in the Deep South Pacific?</p>
<p>Funny story!</p>
<blockquote><p>A conservative Christian politician has a secret life as a sperm donor for lesbian couples &#8211; even though he has campaigned against gay marriage.<br />
American politician Bill Johnson has spent most of this year in Christchurch helping run the earthquake recovery, all the while using the online persona &#8220;chchbill&#8221; to meet women who want help to get pregnant.<br />
Under that persona, he has discussed making donations to at least nine women without the knowledge of his family in the US.<br />
Three of the women are now pregnant, and Johnson has assisted another three with donations in the past month. It is believed he has been in communication with at least another three women to discuss sperm donation.<br />
His actions as a sperm donor sparked concern in the fertility medicine community, whose guidelines recommend donations are made in the regulated environment of a fertility clinic, and that no man provide sperm donations to more than four families.</p></blockquote>
<p>Then again, the guidelines also recommend staying away from sketchy, washed-up American political creeps and their anti-gay semen, but hell even Jesus couldn&#8217;t resist a li&#8217;l hot lady-on-lady action, amiright?</p>
<p>But how did the <a href="http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&amp;objectid=10772398">intrepid newspaper reporters</a> discover that freaky Alabama secret sperminator Bill Johnson was generously donating his potent man juice to all these lezzy ladies, despite campaigning against the very sinful same-sex family he&#8217;s apparently now hell-bent on creating?</p>
<blockquote><p>The Herald on Sunday approached Johnson on Thursday at a restaurant in Christchurch [New Zealand] where he had just finished dining with one of the women he had successfully impregnated.<br />
He said the urge to become a biological father was “a need that I have.”</p></blockquote>
<p>Don&#8217;t you people get it? It wasn&#8217;t a choice, it was a <em>need! </em>Like breathing or beating off into a Dixie cup. Ya know, normal stuff.</p>
<p>&#8220;Reproduction and having children is as basic a human need as eating,&#8221; he told the <em>Herald</em>.</p>
<p>Okay, that too!</p>
<p>His wife, Kathy Johnson, on the other hand (no pun intended!), said the revelations were &#8220;the utmost of betrayal.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;This is a really, really difficult time for our family,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I&#8217;m still in disbelief and very hurt, and our family has a lot of healing to do.&#8221;</p>
<p>Oooh, is it <em>sexual </em>healing? Cause, if so, have I got the perfect guy for you!</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I am married to the most beautiful woman in the world. When I married her I knew we couldn&#8217;t have any more children. She had a hysterectomy 10 years ago,&#8221; he said. &#8220;There is nothing my wife would want to give me more in the world than a child of my own.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Really?? Cause I was thinking more along the lines of divorce papers or a swift kick in the nuts.</p>
<p>But don&#8217;t worry not-even-almost-governor Bill Johnson! The <a href="http://democralypsenow.com/class-dismissed-alabama-shows-america-how-it-rolls-square-wheels-right-wing-angles-lowest-common-denominator">people of Alabama still love you</a>! After segregation and bestiality, masturbating into a cup is one of the state&#8217;s most cherished pastimes!</p>
<p>Roll Tide, y&#8217;all! Or should I say Stroke?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" href="http://fastcache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/7/2011/12/ea6b97e5b14a56ed0d1882d81d2b6bbd.jpg"><img src="http://fastcache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/7/2011/12/ea6b97e5b14a56ed0d1882d81d2b6bbd.jpg" alt="" width="557" height="313" border="0" /></a></div>
<p>Normal, sane folk who don&#8217;t convulse uncontrollably at the idea of actually making dare I say, progress in the treatment of fellow human beings, felt an overwhelming sense of pride as Barack Obama announced that the United States &#8220;would use all the tools of American diplomacy, including the potent enticement of foreign aid, to promote gay rights around the world.&#8221;</p>
<p>In a memorandum issued by the President Obama and in a speech by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the Obama administration vowed to &#8220;actively combat efforts by other nations that criminalize homosexual conduct, abuse gay men, lesbians, bisexuals or transgendered people, or ignore abuse against them.&#8221;</p>
<p>Whoa, whoa, whoa! OMG, since when do gross gay people count as actual human beings? Does Jesus know about this?</p>
<p>The <em>New York Times </em>apparently does.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I am deeply concerned by the violence and discrimination targeting LGBT persons around the world whether it is passing laws that criminalize LGBT status, beating citizens simply for joining peaceful LGBT pride celebrations, or killing men, women, and children for their perceived sexual orientation,&#8221; Mr. Obama said in a presidential memorandum.</p></blockquote>
<p>Ugh, fine, but throwing rocks at them is still cool, right?</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;In many ways, they are an invisible minority,&#8221; Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said at the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva. &#8220;They are arrested, beaten, terrorized &#8211; even executed. Many are treated with contempt and violence by their fellow citizens while authorities empowered to protect them look the other way &#8211; or join in the abuse. Too often, they are denied opportunities to work and learn, driven from their homes and countries, and forced to suppress or deny who they are to protect themselves from harm.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Oh, so they&#8217;re like <a href="http://democralypsenow.com/poll-fox-news-viewers-less-informed-than-those-who-read-no-news-which-is-weird-because-fox-news-hosts-believe-pepper-spray-is-a-food-product-essentially">Occupy protesters here?</a></p>
<blockquote class="tr_bq"><p>After saying the United States&#8217; own record on the issue is &#8220;far from perfect&#8221; and that there is still work to be done domestically, Clinton urged the international community to act despite the fact that opposition based on &#8220;deeply held personal, political, cultural, and religious beliefs&#8221; remains. &#8220;Being gay is not a Western invention. It is a human reality.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Which I guess can be said about the Kardashians as well.</p>
<blockquote class="tr_bq"><p>“In reality, gay people are born into — and belong to — every society in the world,” she said. In countries “where people are jailed, beaten or executed for being gay,” she called on leaders to leap ahead of their constituents cultural or social mores, if necessary.</p></blockquote>
<p>Wait, so does that mean the whole stoning/beheading in a public square is a no go? Cause if so, <a href="http://democralypsenow.com/whats-the-only-thing-scarier-than-war-famine-in-uganda-gay-people-of-course">Uganda&#8217;s gonna be <em>pissed!</em></a></p>
<blockquote class="tr_bq"><p>“I’m not saying that gay people can’t or don’t commit crimes,” she said. “They can and do, just like straight people. And when they do, they should be held accountable. But it should never be a crime to be gay.”</p></blockquote>
<p>Unless say, they do the unthinkable like wear white after Labor Day or heavens forbid, <a href="http://democralypsenow.com/the-only-thing-more-schocking-than-aarons-outfit-is-that-he-claims-to-be-straight">fuchsia gingham shirts tucked neatly into tight white pants and secured by a turquoise &#8217;80s belt</a> to a White House Garden Party.</p>
<p>Other than that, the U.S. going on record as being uncool with gay-hating foreign governments, and not wanting people to be murdered, tortured or imprisoned for their sexuality is a pretty uncontroversial thing, unless&#8230;UNLESS you are a <a href="http://democralypsenow.com/not-even-rick-perry-is-drinking-rick-perrys-kool-aid-unless-its-spiked-with-bacardi-served-with-an-umbrella-straw-moves-elections-to-an-imaginary-date-in-some-drunk-fools-mind">fading, desperate drunkard like Rick Perry</a>, who will prove once and for all <em>he </em>is the #1 presidential candidate of straight Jesus and all <em>HIS</em> one man + one woman (+ semi automatic machine gun) glory.</p>
<p>Well there&#8217;s no way Slick Rick Perry&#8217;s just going to sit back and let them gays get any of those &#8220;special rights&#8221; to exist, which is why he issued <a href="http://www.rickperry.org/news/statement-by-gov-rick-perry-on-obama-administrations-use-of-gay-rights-to-make-foreign-aid-decisions/">this fiery statement</a>:</p>
<blockquote class="tr_bq"><p>“Just when you thought Barack Obama couldn’t get any more out of touch with America’s values, his administration wants to make foreign aid decisions based on gay rights.<br />
“This administration’s war on traditional American values must stop.<br />
“I have proposed a foreign aid budget that starts at zero. From that zero baseline, we will consider aid requests based solely on America’s national security interests. Promoting special rights for gays in foreign countries is not in America’s interests and not worth a dime of taxpayers’ money.<br />
“But there is a troubling trend here beyond the national security nonsense inherent in this silly idea. This is just the most recent example of an administration at war with people of faith in this country. Investing tax dollars promoting a lifestyle many Americas of faith find so deeply objectionable is wrong.<br />
“President Obama has again mistaken America’s tolerance for different lifestyles with an endorsement of those lifestyles. I will not make that mistake.”</p></blockquote>
<p>Aww, hell no! Instead Rick Perry will make the mistake of thinking that the only people in the world are obese racist old white people who live in the American south, and equate the rights of gay people to paying income tax.</p>
<p>But, don&#8217;t worry Rick! Everyone knows no more <a href="http://democralypsenow.com/dont-ask-dont-tell-repeal-finally-goes-into-effect-as-society-welcomes-republicans-into-the-21st-century-of-basic-human-dignity">Republicans will accidentally turn gay</a> as a result of this new policy. That&#8217;s what Teletubbies, the Military, and Craigslist is for!</p>

<p><a href="http://democralypsenow.com/michele-bachmanns-presidential-hopes-are-sinking-so-fast-her-entire-new-hampshire-staff-decided-to-jump-ship-for-something-safer-like-the-titanic">Minnesota hellwoman and (un)equal rights warrior</a> Michele Bachmann is no stranger to fighting for the little people, those least able to speak for themselves, like the li&#8217;l fairy living inside Marcus and the various insane voices living inside her head.</p>
<p>Which is why Michele is working hard to ensure that the civil rights of <em>all</em> Americans are protected, but especially the white heterosexual Christian ones because they are better and infinitely more important, according to Jesus and the Constitution.</p>
<p>But it&#8217;s not as if Michele is saying gay people shouldn&#8217;t get married because they are gross abominations of God who will burn in eternal hellfire for their gross gay sins. Not at all! She&#8217;s simply saying that if gays feel the need to get hitched so damn badly, they can go ahead and feel free to marry a person of the opposite sex, like normal, decent Americans who make a living <a href="http://democralypsenow.com/michele-bachmann-signs-marriage-pledge-to-stay-away-from-porn-gays-revert-to-the-good-ol-days-of-slavery">secretly praying the gay away</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;[Gay people] can get married,” she says, “But they abide by the same law as everyone else. They can marry a man if they’re a woman. Or they can marry a woman if they’re a man.&#8221; Oooh, so many options!</p>
<p>So straight people can marry who they love, and gay people can marry a straight person because this is how &#8220;civil rights&#8221; works, or at least according to someone with a mail-order law degree from Crazy Christian U and unshakeable belief that mandatory HPV vaccinations make you retarded.</p>
<p>Luckily, one thoughtful young woman and president of Waverly High School&#8217;s Gay-Straight Alliance, Jane Schmidt, apparently missed her government-forced vaccination/mental retardation shot because <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/12/01/michele-bachmann-gay-marriage_n_1123784.html">she confronted</a> Miss Bachmann on her obvious inability to make any sense whatsoever.</p>
<blockquote><p>JANE SCHMIDT: One of my main concerns is government support for the LGBT community. So my question is what would you do to protect GSAs in high school and support the LGBT community.<br />
BACHMANN: Well, No. 1, all of us as Americans have the same rights. The same civil rights. And so that&#8217;s really what government&#8217;s role is, to protect our civil rights. There shouldn&#8217;t be any special rights or special set of criteria based upon people&#8217;s preferences. We all have the same civil rights.<br />
JANE SCHMIDT: Then, why can&#8217;t same-sex couples get married?<br />
BACHMANN: They can get married, but they abide by the same law as everyone else. They can marry a man if they’re a woman. Or they can marry a woman if they&#8217;re a man.<br />
JANE SCHMIDT: Why can&#8217;t a man marry a man?<br />
BACHMANN: Because that&#8217;s not the law of the land.<br />
JANE SCHMIDT: So heterosexual couples have a privilege.<br />
BACHMANN: No, they have the same opportunity under the law. There is no right to same-sex marriage.<br />
JANE SCHMIDT: So you won&#8217;t support the LGBT community?<br />
BACHMANN: No, I said that there are no special rights for people based upon your sex practices. There&#8217;s no special rights based upon what you do in your sex life. You&#8217;re an American citizen first and foremost and that&#8217;s it.<br />
BACHMANN: Remember every American citizen has the right to avail themselves to marriage but they have to follow what the laws are. And the laws are you marry a person of the opposite sex.</p></blockquote>
<p>Exactly! It&#8217;s common decency! Kind of like when an insane congresswoman goes on some psychotic, incoherent, mind-numbingly illogical rant, it is your duty to point out the fact that gay marriage <em>is </em>indeed <a href="http://democralypsenow.com/the-great-gay-invasion-moves-into-americas-heartland">lawful in Iowa</a>, where she was speaking. Not in Minnesota, of course, which at least makes a pretty good legal argument for how she ended up <a href="http://democralypsenow.com/michele-bachman-has-a-secret-fashion-weapon-stashed-in-her-closet-his-name-is-marcus-bachmann">married to Marcus Bachmann</a>.</p>
<p>Though on the bright side, according to the Constitution, Michele is still free to go fuck herself.</p>
<p>Which comes as quite a relief. Not least of <a href="http://democralypsenow.com/michele-bachmann-signs-marriage-pledge-to-stay-away-from-porn-gays-revert-to-the-good-ol-days-of-slavery">all to Marcus!</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" href="http://wonkette.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/navy-217x300.jpg"><img src="http://wonkette.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/navy-217x300.jpg" alt="" width="289" height="400" border="0" /></a></div>
<p>Congratulations, America! The moment we&#8217;ve all been waiting for—and Republicans have been <a href="http://democralypsenow.com/u-s-military-report-finally-asks-tells-but-republicans-suddenly-cant-hear-or-speak">warning us about</a>—is finally here, and it&#8217;s most definitely queer.</p>
<p>At the stroke of midnight on Tuesday, the <a href="http://democralypsenow.com/lessons-in-fierce-dont-ask-dont-tell-repeal-in-senate-as-dead-as-republicans-sense-of-decency-justice">terrible, nearly two decades old discriminatory policy</a> banning gays and lezzies from being all they can be as loud &#8216;n proud members of the U.S. military is officially as dead as <a href="http://democralypsenow.com/multi-millionaire-republicans-simply-cannot-afford-obama%e2%80%99s-socialist-rich-people-tax">poor people would be</a> if the GOP had anything to say about it.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s true! So now that Don&#8217;t Ask Don&#8217;t Tell is just another one of America&#8217;s most cherished, nostalgic Clinton-era memories (right up there with Monica Lewinsky&#8217;s semen-stained blue dress, and all the wild &#8216;n crazy things you can do with a cigar), what does this mean for the rest of us?</p>
<p>Where&#8217;s the hellfire, the brimstone, the unraveling of America&#8217;s moral fabric, the total collapse of civilized society, and the vengeful fury of God&#8217;s wrath that every Republican knows comes from no longer regulating whether our nation&#8217;s servicemen and women are <a href="http://democralypsenow.com/is-the-teabaggers-favorite-tenth-amendment-turning-the-united-straights-of-america-into-the-united-states-of-gaymerica">servicing each other with the proper penis-vagina ratios?</a></p>
<p>Even the usually reliable ol&#8217; gay panic standby Fox News is uncharacteristically silent on the issue, with nary a peep about how letting gross gay and lesbians openly serve will quickly and irreversibly transform America&#8217;s once-lean, mean, hetero fighting Marine Corps machine into one big camouflaged Chorus Line, except with less ensemble dance numbers and more anal gang rapes in the shower.</p>
<p>So while <a href="http://democralypsenow.com/barack-obama-hits-the-road-as-his-approval-hits-the-skids-while-michele-bachman-wins-over-iowa-by-shoving-corn-dogs-into-wide-gaping-holes">Michele and Marcus Bachmann</a>, Lindsay Graham, and the <a href="http://democralypsenow.com/the-43-year-old-virgin-is-bursting-out-of-the-closet-now-that-hes-finished-trying-to-stuff-his-entire-fellow-lgbt-community-back-in">rest of the Grand Old Closet Cases</a> anxiously wait for Armaggedon to come in the form of fatigue-wearing Eltons and Ellens, the rest of America can feel Ga-Ga Great knowing their country&#8217;s military policy towards gay people is officially no longer on par with North Korea, Uganda, Syria, and Iran, but instead as wonderfully enlightened as Albania, Estonia, and Malta&#8217;s.</p>
<p>From the <a href="http://www.chron.com/news/article/Repeal-of-gay-ban-causing-few-waves-in-US-military-2177890.php">AP:</a></p>
<blockquote><p>Gay advocacy groups planned a series of celebrations across the country.<br />
At a San Diego bar, current and former troops danced and counted down to midnight. “You are all heroes,” Sean Sala, a former Navy operations specialist, said. “The days of your faces being blacked out on the news — no more.”<br />
The head of Pentagon personnel, Clifford Stanley, put out a memo to the work force at 12:01 a.m. EDT. “All service members are to treat one another with dignity and respect regardless of sexual orientation.”</p></blockquote>
<p>OMG, what a crazy, novel idea!!</p>
<p>THE GAYS WIN! Hooray! Doesn&#8217;t the liberal destruction and moral decay of our nation just feel faaaaaabulous!?</p>
