Fuck Rush Limbaugh

Fuck Rush Limbaugh. 

Predictably, Rush is continuing to spread his virulent homophobia till the bitter end (see article below). Why wouldn't he, though? We’ve sat back and accepted his ugly brand of hate speech as a form of “entertainment” for decades, to the point where it has became  normalized by too large a swath of people. His radio show has done wonders in moving the homophobia, racism, and misogyny of the Republican party into the mainstream.

I used to listen to Rush as a teenager in Indiana back in the late 80's. My sheltered upbringing (I grew up in a small, all-white town) allowed me to believe that Rush's worldview actually made sense. It wasn't until I moved away from that simplistic upbringing, and made my way west to Los Angeles, that I had my eyes opened to the truth of the lies and hatred he spread on a daily basis.

How has Rush been rewarded for decades of spewing hateful filth? The current occupant of the White House handed him a Medal of Freedom at the latest State of the Union Address. Of course he did. Rush espouses all the same small minded nonsense that trump does. Two peas in a pod, they are.

Here's what Rush said just a week after receiving his hollow medal. (He uses his tried and true technique of claiming to speak for someone else while actually sharing HIS view on homosexuality):

"Then they're sitting there and they're looking at Mayor Pete, a 37-year-old gay guy, mayor of South Bend, loves to kiss his husband on the debate stage," Limbaugh said. "And they're saying, 'Okay. How's that going to look, a 37-year-old gay guy kissing his husband on stage next to Mr. Man, Donald Trump? What's gonna happen there?'"

(“Mr. Man” lol  I suggest you not look that up in the urban dictionary...)

So, I'm going to say this again before Rush finally leaves us and returns to his rightful place in Hell... Fuck you, Rush! Enjoy the rest of your ride here on Earth.

There, I feel better.

Jesus Loves The Little Children (wait, not you)

Image
Jesus loves the little children All the children of the world Red and Yellow, Black and White They are precious in his sight Jesus loves the little children of the world Singing this song is one of my earliest memories from growing up going to Sunday school. It taught me that all of us, no matter what we look like or where we come from, are loved by the God we were gathering to worship twice on Sundays and Wednesday nights.  This song taught me that I should accept those who might look differently than me (which, growing up in a small, whites only town in Indiana, was a rare occurrence, to be sure), because GOD loved them.  That was the point, wasn't it? That if God loved these people, then we should, too? This week we saw a story about the popular, and notoriously anti-LGBTQ, food chain Chick-fil-A and the reaction some on the right had when discovering Chick-fil-A's website included a section on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) and that they had "just hired" a...

Impeach Trump: Now

Image
The Democrats should be moving full speed ahead on impeaching the president. This is the moment where, historically, Democrats have chosen to take the sensible, well-thought out, reactionary way forward, when what was needed was for them to grab ahold of the narrative and shape it to THEIR will. We don’t need to wait and contemplate while hoping the unredacted version of the Mueller Report gets released soon (we’ve seen enough already). What Trump does so well is to set the framing of the narrative. For instance, when he repeatedly made his racist birther claims about President Obama, Trump introduced a frame, a worldview, that included the possibility of Obama not being an American citizen. The narrative within that frame, whether for or against, necessarily included discussion of Obama’s citizenship, a topic we’d never addressed before in reference to a sitting president. It didn’t matter that his birtherism claims weren’t true, they became a part of the narrative, the disc...

McConnell's Misplaced Historical Precedent

“You have to go back to 1880 to find last time a Senate controlled by a different party from the president confirmed a Supreme Court justice to a vacancy created in the middle of a presidential election,” McConnell said on CBS’s Face the Nation Sunday morning, turning to historical precedent. This isn’t even an honest point (shocking!). It’s a complete Red Herring. A misdirection. The point isn’t that this particular situation hasn’t happened since 1880, the argument McConnell should be making is to point out ALL the times since 1880 where this exact situation actually presented itself , and then a nomination wasn’t even considered. Just like Merrick Garland wasn't even considered. That would be historical precedent.
