These are a number of quotes from the fine, upstanding citizens who would like to make America into the next Christian-fascist state, as far as I can tell.
What's scary is that these are not the nutjobs on Third Avenue who tell people they're sinner and should be in church and stand in the middle of the sidewalk declaiming the same.
No. These are people with power.
I think there's an appropriate bit of Transmetropolitan here - and I wish only that I a larger list because frankly, most of you think the way I do. Or at least, I haven't put up a post saying "GEORGE BUSH JR SUCKS DOG COCKS IN HELL" and gotten contacted by the Secret Service.
Yet.
Anyway. I suppose this is sucking up wank of high order, but it's true now, it was true when it was written, and it'll be true tomorrow, and I'd love to have a tattoo gun and the opportunity to tell every single person in the country who countenances hate speech (in one form or another) other than my own hate speech exactly what I think of them.
"You see, here's how it works; Civic Center and the cops do what the fuck they like, and you sit still. Your boss does what he likes. The asshole at the toll booth, the bouncer at your local bar, the security guy who frisks you at the clinic, the papers and feedsites that lie to you for the hell of it.
They do what they like. And what do you do? You pay them...
...You must like it when people in authority they never earned lie to you."
