Political Pirate

I was definitely riding the fence about the upcoming election.  I vowed I wouldn't vote because I could clearly see valid points of interest from both candidates.  I also vowed you wouldn't hear me complain about the outcome as I would have no right to complain if I didn't stand on one side or the other by voting.  Well that all changed this morning. 

I hate when, in the morning, the first thing I see or hear is something that frustrates me or pisses me off.  It kind of sets the mood for the rest of today.  As I slurp down coffee and imagine myself on a island surrounded by naked cabana boys I am slowly but surely turning this train-wreck of a day around. Well a FB friend of mine posted a video this morning of MITT ROMNEY standing out against homosexual couples adopting children.  He was a little unclear (big surprise there) about whether he was completely opposed to the act or just in opposition of the birth certificate stating "parent 1 and parent 2."  At any rate, he went on to say that "all children deserve a mother and a father."  What an ignorant, invisible deity-worshiping, self-serving piece of garbage.  All children deserve to grow up feeling loved.  All children deserve food, shelter, water, and values.  All children deserve to be heard, understood, and taught to think for themselves.  As someone who grew up in a strong christian family I can assure you I was NOT taught to think for myself.  It was God's way or no way.  With that in mind, I feel confident that two parents of the same gender could do just as good of a job at raising a child as a "normal" mother and father could - probably better. 

Along the same lines, I am friends with a man who is in a long term relationship with another man and they have adopted two children already.  They, from what I can see in photographs and FB updates, are doing a great job.  So why, pray tell, is he voting for Romney?  Because he is a sheep, that's why.  My fag friends whom are voting for this man that wishes to strip away/prevent gay rights are just sheep being led thru the pasture and have no idea they are being fattened up for the slaughter.  That's fine, I am in the mood to eat lamb chops tonight anyway.  IGNORANCE IS NOT BLISS! 

Okay, that's my political soap box for this election year :)
