I am so sick and tired of conservatives, Republicans, Fundamentalist Christians, and so-called commentators ramrodding the bible, or jesus, or god, down the public's throat. I have to admit, they're good at it, but I'm so sick and tired of it.

For the LAST. FUCKING. TIME. ---NOT ALL AMERICANS ARE CHRISTIAN. NOT ALL AMERICANS ARE RIGHT WING NUTJOBS. And most importantly, NOT ALL AMERICANS ARE STUPID!!!

Now, to my christian friends, I must apologize in advance, because while this diatribe may seem directed towards you, it is, in fact, not. It is only directed towards those in the public/political eye who appear to claim self righteousness as a God-fearing Christian, when really all they're spouting is their own personal hatred and bigotry.

I haven't been REALLY involved in politics since the election of 2004, when I was campaigning for Howard Dean, and then John Kerry, when he won the nomination. Even in 2008, while I voted for Obama, and spoke highly of him and respected both him and Hillary Clinton, I stayed in the background.

Well, the vacation's over. Because I have NEVER been spurred into action more than by the candidacy of Rick Perry.

I am a PROUD Texan, born and raised. I LOVE MY STATE. I LOVE MOST PEOPLE IN MY STATE. But don't even think I'm gonna let some bumfuck redneck with a great coif of hair prove every Texas-hating and Texas-bashing moron that he speaks for ALL OF US. Because, Governor Perry, YOU DON'T SPEAK FOR ME.

The above links are articles and opinions on Rick Perry, and others in the GOP who feel that verbally bashing gay people (and I'm including EVERYONE that could possibly fit into our nice little alphabet soup) is okay because "it's what I believe" or "it says in the bible..."

Well, guess what. I believe in a few things, too. Like...The US Constitution. Which says you can say whatever you want, whenever you want, and the GOVERNMENT can do nothing to you (albeit notwithstanding a few court cases to amend the first amendment), but remember, that means I CAN SAY WHAT I WANT, TOO.

And here it is...

Rick Perry...you are the sick, diseases pustule on the asscrack of American Bigots.

You may preach your biblical views, and you may espouse your hatred and bigotry, but don't think for a minute I will stand for it without putting up a fight.

You are the saddest excuse for a governor, or a leader of any kind, that I have ever had the displeasure of living under. And that includes your predecessor as both governor, and president.

You are a hypocrite, a bigot, and worst of all, an ASSHOLE.

These Republicans, conservatives, far right wingers continue to abuse and neglect not just gay people, but their own constituents, their own voting public.

I am not naive to think that there's ever been a completely honest politician. What I am is an optimist that someone, somewhere, down the road, if not today, will stand up for what is right, and what is truly sacred in this country---FREEDOM.

You, Mr. Perry, have spoken openly before about wanting to secede from the union. And now you want to run this same union? This makes no sense to me.

It's time the Democrats, or liberals, or anyone opposing the Republicans, take a lesson from their book. GET IN PEOPLE'S FACES. TEAR THEM APART.

This ain't the kindergarten playground anymore. This is the BIG BOY'S CLUB.

So, President Obama, you had better go and find your balls, wherever John Boehner and whoever have put them in a jar, because everything Rick Perry says are what we here in Texas refer to as "fightin' words."

IT IS TIME TO FIGHT BACK FOR OUR FREEDOM. IT IS TIME TO FIGHT BACK FOR OUR RIGHTS. IT IS TIME TO FIGHT BACK AGAINST HATRED, BIGOTRY, RACISM, HOMOPHOBIA, MISOGYNY, AND WHATEVER IT'S CALLED WHEN YOU HATE ATHEISTS.

BECAUSE SOME ATHEISTS ARE AMERICAN, TOO. Just like you, Rick. JUST. LIKE. YOU.

You may wonder why I'm so vocal and adamant now. It's simple. I'm tired of being treated like shit. I'm tired of being asked out on a date by the popular jock, who I believed never knew I existed, who then proceeds to feel up my dress and rip off my panties all the while i'm screaming "NO!"

THIS IS AMERICA, AND THIS IS MY HOME, TOO. And I will not let you take it over with your legions of misguided, and yes, sometimes stupid and ignorant CULT that feels the need to defend their bigotry and racism and homophobia with lies and half truths and complete and utter BULLSHIT.

So let this be a lesson to you, Rick Perry, Michelle Bachman, Rick Santorum, and others...

I WILL FIGHT. And while I may not win...I'm a Texan. I sure as FUCK won't give up.

Because...

YOU. DO. NOT. SPEAK. FOR. ME.
