[Cadaverous Pallor]

I think that what limits my point of view is that I'm very uncomfortable with hypocracy. It's like how some people freak out over dust mites. I know that I'm riddled with it, and that it's all over the place, but I can't accept it.

When I realized that the political party that I had joined did not believe what I believed, I left. When I found that my new political party did not believe what I believed, I abandoned it too. When I came to terms with the fact that my religion held assertions that opposed my own assertions about life, I dropped it.

It may seem very black and white, but how could I sleep at night otherwise? You can't pick and choose. Either you want the Republican party to succeed or you don't. If the Republican party succeeds, we have bans on gay marriage. Many states already have this in place. Either you believe the bible was written with the influence of God, or you don't. The bible says that homosexuals should be killed. If God wrote it, how could you live with that?

I can see what € said about fighting from within, but after what I've seen the Republicans do in the past few years, I am convinced that there is no changing the basic tenets of the party. For crying out loud, it's 2006, and they're still trying to put religion back into public schools.

If this guy is happy, I guess there's nothing I can say about it. But from my perspective, he is a tool of the right. He is being used. He is not going to fix anything; instead, he is empowering his oppressors.

I'm willing to bet that there are people out there who would feel that I'm a tool empowering my oppressors. It's all about perspective.
