The Home of a Presbyterian Cat!

"None of those idiots read the Bible," said Republirat Mikey Hucksterbee. "And since they don't know what's in it, I'll use double talk, mix it with outright nonsense, and say it came from the Bible. They'll believe anything!"

    Yep, that statement seems to be in back of the Republirat's latest rant about homosexuality. Here's more of the statement. "I feel homosexuality is an aberrant, unnatural, and sinful lifestyle."  My oh my Mikey. You sure have your phoney rant in full swing.

    Hucksterbee, if you remember, is yet another in a slew of potential Republirat presidential candidates who apparently want to convert the U.S. into a theocracy. ""Marriage has historically never meant anything other than a man and a woman. It has never meant two men, two women, a man and his pet, or a man and a whole herd of pets," he went on to say. My that is interesting Mikey. Out of curiosity how much Biblical history do you really know. It seems to me that a lot of those old dudes in the Bible had more than a couple wives. Oh, and how about Abraham, it seems to me he had a thing going with his wife's slave. Yes indeed, if we want marriage to be according to Biblical example, we will see some interesting lines waiting for marriage license. And what's this about pets Mikey? Other than the fact that the comparison is nonsensical, it makes me wonder what you've been up to lately!

    "Children are not puppies," Hucksterbee went on to say as he attacked the idea of gays adopting children. Very good Mikey. I'm glad you can tell the difference! But I don't see what that has to do with your argument.

    But I do think Hucksterbee might be onto something. Let's emphasize adoption. In fact I think Republirat former governors are a lot like pets. We should adopt them! I do believe I know a couple who definitely need housebreaking!

     Let me tell you the story of Fluffy and Tigger. Both of these kitties are my friends. But they are even better friends with each other. In fact, they are such good friends that they decided to get married. So they went to a Justice of the Peace in Louisiana to get a marriage license. "No way," the justice said. "I don't marry inter-racial couples. You see, Fluffy is a Persian kitty and Tigger is a Siamese.

    OK, this really isn't about Fluffy and Tigger. It's about the racist idiot in Louisiana who refused to give an inter-racial couple a marriage license. All sorts of people are mad about this stupidity. They should be mad because this Justice's actions are a reflection on the bigotry of the past.  His actions have no place in an intelligent society.

    But wait a minute. What if that couple were also gay or lesbian? I bet there would be a whole lot less fuss about the refusal to grant a license. That is blatant hypocrisy.  The arguments that used to be used against inter-racial couples are the same ones we see now being used against same sex marriage.

    Yes, let's throw the Neanderthal who would not grant the license out of office. But t the same time, why don't we take a moment to look at views of same sex marriage that are equally stupid. We're putting racism in the trash can of history where it belongs. Now how about sending homophobia to the same trash can?

     Ah, California, a state that used to be home to innovation and sometimes to pretty nutty ideas, and now, is the home for right wing homophobes. How can it be that a state that gave birth to so many radical movements decided that gay and lesbian people had less rights than the rest of us? And why can't you keep your mind out of other people's bedrooms?

     But out of the State of Insanity has come an idea. If Californians want to protect marriage so badly that they ban marriage and civil unions for homosexuals, they can now take it one step further. Yes folks, if you're that keen on protecting marriage, ban divorce too. You now have the chance to do just that.  There is a petition drive to place a measure on the next California ballot banning divorce. You can sign in at http://www.petitiononline.com/NoDvrce/petition.html

     All in all folks, I think this is a great idea. Some of you might decide to wave Biblical proof texts and say this is a sin against God. If so, please remember, Jesus did not say squat about gays and lesbians but he had a whole lot to say about divorce!

     So jump in folks. Sign the petition to truly save marriage in California. Tell the right wing bigots if they want to force others to obey carefully selected bits of the Bible that they have to obey the whole thing!

Isn't it interesting that the "Christian" right has temporarily stopped their attacks on the rights of gays and lesbians to get married. Could it be because a future Republican presidential candidate seems to have a problem with keeping his pants zipped?

Yep, Governor Mark Sanford has admitted that he not only used government funds to hook up with his mistress in Argentina but he's been meeting her in other places too. Now I have no intention of attacking Mr. Sanford. He's a human being and humans, since they are not cats, are imperfect creatures.  But I do have to ask just who is attacking marriage? It seems to me that lately  there are an awful lot of  heterosexual Republicans dropping their  trousers for someone other than their wives. I think that threatens marriage a lot.

Time to fess up boys and girls. You don't really give a frig about marriage.  Some of your actions show it pretty clearly. Instead you want to bash gays to get your right wing followers frothing at the mouth. That way they don't notice how badly you want to screw up the world. Give it up, and get your minds on something above your belt buckle for a change!

Politics of Hate 06/09/2009
 

Taking a look at the right wing media is a fascinating occupation these days.  The more we move away from the hate filled politics of Bush/Cheney the louder they scream.  The world's falling in. The President is going to annex us to Iran.  Closing a center of torture will cause us terrorists to over run us.  The volume of hate just gets louder and louder. Their noise bothers me so much that I just "unfollowed" a particular individual on Twitter today. I just couldn't take her deluge of right wing propaganda.

But I just may turn around and follow her again because right wing rants are a good barometer of what's going on in this country. They get louder, because the country is rejecting their path; a path I can only call evil.  There are set backs. California's court rejected gay marriage. But it became legal in other states. The Presbyterian Church rejected the ordination of gays and lesbians. But the vote was a lot closer than it has ever been before. A right winger murdered an a doctor who gave women the right to choose. But in the light of his act the hate filled spewing of many "pro-life" groups is seen by many in a brand new, and clearer light.

The right wing, the way of hate, war, and intolerance can only win if we let it win.  And right now, thanks be to God, power seems to be slipping far away from their grasp.

Gay Marriage 05/26/2009
 

There was an interesting vote in California's top court today. Here's a quote about if from the AP News:

"We are extremely pleased that the Supreme Court has acknowledged the right of voters to define marriage in the California Constitution," said Andrew P. Pugno, a lawyer for ProtectMarriage.com, the leading group behind the initiative. "The voters have decided this issue and their views should be respected."

Yeah, the voters did decide the issue. But it seems to have been decided by voters in another state. The last time I checked, Utah is not a part of California. And an awful lot of the money poured into this campaign seemed to come from that direction. Hey, if you don't want gay marriage in Utah, vote on it there. What gives you the right to push your morals on the voters of another state?

Other people who rejoiced over today's California Supreme Court's decision pointed to the Bible and it's "long history" of marriage between one man and one women. Let's see . . . hey didn't those old dudes back in the Bible have a lot more than one wife? And than there's Abraham. Seems to me that he had a concubine that was sort of central to the story. And there's David whose love for his best (male) friend,  surpassed that of  the love of man for a women. I could go on and on, but the idea that the Bible talks about the one man one woman bit is bunk.

BTW, Jesus didn't have one word to say about same sex relations, but he had a heck of a lot to say about divorce. So OK, here's the deal. Let's all obey the Bible. All you divorced persons - get outa California.

And to my Gay and Lesbian friends, who are just as sacred in God's sight as anyone else, I have only a few words,
let there be more light!

Gay Marriage 05/08/2009
 

Two of my friends, Fluffy and Seymour, just came back from a trip to Iowa. I asked them why in the world they wanted to go there! (Not to be offensive to those who live in Iowa. I understand there are some very tasty corn fed mice there.) They told me they went there to get married. Fluffy and Seymour, you see, are both boy kitties.

That started me thinking. How come two kitties who are in love have to go on a trip to get married instead of having it at their home? The answer is obvious of course; homophobia. Of course that is not the reason that is given. Some seem to think that love between two kitties who are both boys or both girls is sick. Get over it and keep your minds out of other kitties bedrooms! What business is it of yours if two kitties are in love? They aren't hurting you by it.

Of course some say that the Bible says that love like that is wrong. Yes, some parts seem to say that. Other parts say there should be no divorce, no eating of pork or shellfish, and no wearing of fur that has more than one type of cloth in it. Some parts seem to think it's ok to have human sacrifice, to kill people in God's name, and to own slaves.  So if you're going to point to the Bible, and say we have to obey it literally, obey it ALL literally. And by the way, if you're a girl kitty you better wear a hat in church and not talk until you're out of the building.

Fluffy and Seymour are very happy now. How about letting some other kitties be happy too?
