Emotional Outburst While Watching the Presidential Debate

[queerbychoice]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggghhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The stupid fucking homophobic heterosexual white male Christian so-called representatives of mine in the stupidest fucking so-called debate just would have to go and bring up the "Is homosexuality a choice?" idiocy. AS THOUGH THAT'S RELEVANT TO WHETHER WE DESERVE ANY RIGHTS. AS THOUGH TWO HETEROSEXUAL CHRISTIANS ARE IN ANY POSITION TO EVEN TRY TO SPEAK FOR ALL THE QUEERS OF THE WORLD.

Not only do I not want either one of them in charge of my country, I want them both fucking deported from it for making such a ridiculous mess of the entire election campaign. Somebody appoint me dictator on the grounds that my campaign pledge is to deport them both. Bush will be deported to a prison to be prosecuted for war crimes. Kerry can just be deported to someplace where I never have to hear about him again.

"I have faith in the radical left, and I believe that once the "witch is dead" euphoria wears off the real activists will get right back on track giving Kerry a hard time."

I wish I had that kind of faith in leftists. Actually, I've been meaning to post a poll asking Kerry voters to reassure me that they really won't give Kerry any more of a free pass to be right-wing than they would give Bush, because I figure both Kerry voters and others all benefit from asking that question - Kerry voters benefit by helping persuade the rest of us to not be as afraid of a Kerry presidency as we currently are, and the rest of us benefit if the Kerry voters keep their pledges to really critique Kerry after he takes office (if he does).

I don't have as much (or any, really) faith in the Democrats (big D) or the "hey, I'm a liberal!" crowd, but I think there is an activist contingent in this country that has somewhat grown but has also gotten more attention and therefore re-entered the American consciousness, and now it absolutely cannot afford to back down or give out free passes, even on fear of accusations of hypocricy alone. You won't back off, and I would like to think that I won't. Everything has changed about the way we think politically--lets just hope that it lasts, and that all the people who registered to vote for the first time this year keep doing it.

I don't imagine Kerry will be a great or an important president, but I like to think that he's sort of the limbo while getting ready and working for better things to come.

More importantly, though: were they supposed to be wearing the same thing?! omglolz!!1
