Storming Governments
TRKeske
Just this morning, I was talking about how gays tried to storm the
House of Lords over their refusal to equalize the age of consent
for gays and straights. I was saying that there are issues far more
serious than this, and how American gays would have much
better reasons to storm the U.S. Capitol. The British episode
seemed like a waste and misapplication of a perfectly good
rage, that could have easily found much better applications.
After all, we have crackpots in suits who call themselves
Congressmen. who run around saying things roughly equivalent
to "God does not hear the prayers of Jews", and think themselves
quite virtuous for saying it. We have Newt Gingrich putting his
arm around a religious crackpot who talks about putting gays
in camps. We have Jesse Helms, who is a friend of torturing
dictators, and a character witness for death squal leaders.
We have a divorced jerk writing legislation against gay
marriage, while he licks whipped cream off of women's breasts.
America mostly doesn't realize what kind of scum these men
are, with whom they associate, what they say. The public is
jaded, apathetic, ignorant, when it is not equally hateful.
It is a picture of a country begging to be reminded most rudely
of something, taught a lesson of historic proportions.
Comes the evening, comes the news about a man trying to shoot
his way into the Capitol. Some mentally-ill jerk, with no real
grievances, or at least, so it would seem, according to the
media presentation. Ho hum. Another day, quite routine.
How curious that the people who have the real grievances, the
deep grievances, are so rarely the ones to get violent.
But when they do, it is more likely to be a mass movement,
and it is likely to be serious on a whole new scale, compared
to these lone, mentally-ill misfits. Delusional creeps can cause
enough pain. God help us against people who are actually
competent and know what they are doing.
America cannot picture a mob of thousands trying to storm the
Capitol, and trying to tear those idiot Congressman limb-from-limb.
Congress cannot picture it.
American cannot picture a nerve-gas attack, out of nowhere,
killing the entire U.S. Congress and much of the city surrounding.
Picture it. Try for all you are worth, to picture it very clearly.
The Congress plays with fire everyday, like children who cannot
understand that they are playing with matches, that it's
really serious.
We are not footballs. This is not a game. You do not kick us
around cynically, just to try to raise a few votes from your
favorite fanatics.
You do not insult us, humiliate us, slight us, degrade us,
disappoint us, again and again and again and again
never noticing or caring how many times you have done it,
never noticing the context of anti-gay killings and death squads
in other countries, that forms the background against which your
endless criticisms are seen through our eyes.
Our job security is not a triviality. You do
not play with it just to make an "image", to groom how you
look in November.
November can be a time for the political ground to quake
under your feet.
You do not talk about how homosexuals "infest" the Washington
Post. That is the talk of crackpots. That is a kind of 2-bit,
cheap, gutter talk not befitting a goverment that expects to
have stability.
If America cannot get these simple realizations through its head,
it will one day finds its National Security Blanket getting threatened
in the worst way. One lone misfit is a triviality, not a tragedy.
A mob of thousands or tens of thousands storming the Capitol-
that would be tragedy. It's a tragedy that our country is too
blind and stupid to see it coming. It's a tragedy that our country
worships hate mongers like Rush Limbaugh and imagine that
he's cute. It's a tragedy that our quality of leadership sank so
low that there was nothing left to do, than to go for shock treatment.
It's a tragedy that our country that could never muster
the minimum level of decency necessary to prevent such a
tragedy, thereby making it a necessary tragedy.
No, the media and the politicians will simply eulogize the dead
and heap hatred on the malcontents. Never will they see or admit
the seriousness of what they themselves say and do. Which is
why we someday see something to make this day seem like
a time of innocence.

Oh, we are a psychotic nation...to even maintain employed
representatives who think it absolutely normal to espouse violence
against a segment of this country's law abiding citizens. And they
certainly are getting loud! They will never know that their record of
hate speech is the rope unravelling to become their noose. They will
be hanged first, reprimanded second.

It happened to Mussolini. There will come a similar reckoning when gay
people won't take it any more...and it's not too damn far off.
>Congress cannot picture it.
Do they deserve to? They won't know what hit them...they'll die
ignorant...but still, more intelligent and peace-loving than when
alive.

Well said, Tom. You whole essay, well said.

I am insulted that our President would ever sign such a gay-hateful
document as DOMA..."Defense of (hetero) Marriage Act"...as if heteros
were so persectued by us nasty, evil homosexual! This is where the new
wave of gay hatred arose...and since then, many more anti-gay acts
have been passed or proposed...and most recently, the NY Times
obligingly published a gay-hateful advertisement.
I would leave this fucked up country today, if I had a way out. I will
find a way to leave, and never look back. I am too good for this
horrid country of homophobic beasts...and so is every gay man and
woman. We have Holland. Let's start an underground railroad to fund
our less wealthy compadres, in order to not leave them behind, in this
muck of ill breeders.

A security blanket wove from the clotting blood of gays bashed, past
and present...infused with the blood of our modern day AIDS martyrs.
To build a society whose economy is driven by crunching the bones of
gay people to feed Moloch, is to build a living hell. How can I but
laugh with irony, when KKKristians tell me I'm going to hell? I'm
already there, thanks to their Biblical psychoses!

Our country of Amerika is more pathetic a kulture than most care to
admit. Why should I salute a flag that represents oppression of my
people? It is clear that we gays won't get our rights, without a long,
dragged out civil war first. Do we go meekly into the ovens, firing
squads, electric chairs and experimental labs...or do we fight?
Give us marriage or give us death:
Slay the beast of homophobia!
