Advocates seek to preserve gay-friendly political districts

I think you over reacted and are not hip to the history of politics and racism in our land of the brave, home of the free. The right to vote is fundamental to freedom yet women and minorities have had to fight hard to get the right to vote, and in the case of colored (all colors but white) folks they have often been discriminated against even when the law gave them the right. Poll taxes, the modern rip off from the white right in Florida, Ohio and other places, racial gerrymandering- all designed on purpose to dilute or eliminate effective voting by these disenfranchised folks. Your words might make sense to someone without any knowledge of our sordid history and appealing to the ignorant is what the tea party folks do, that is why I hold them in low regard. Being ignorant is an innocent crime against humanity, but calls for enlightenment or it becomes an intentional step towards stupidity.

Now the Gay community is way more savvy and will not stand for this manipulation to keep them down, and I applaud that. And duh, look around. Almost all of our elected gummint folks are white, hetero, male people. So yeah, I stick to my claim. As soon as our elected folks represent in color and attitude their communities I will not have a problem with this aspect of things.

Of course sometimes a right wing black person gets into a position of power, an incredible situation since conservative elements hate most black, brown, foreign, gay and female people. But if that person is chosen by a predominant black community then so be it. Sometimes a closet gay hypocrite gets elected and spends his career bashing gays and promoting his pasty faced ‘family values’ before being found out-always republicans. The Dems that get caught with their pants down are almost always in hetero relationships. Arnold is one of the few repo disasters that actually focussed his attentions on women. Quite a zoo, most of the animals in it are right wing neo cons. You neo cons will flip out-you are ignorant-no, stupid, for you reject the truth because you are too shallow to ‘man up’ and do the right thing by considering other views and checking them out. Do the research, look for all the creepos on YOUR side who are crooks, liars, hypocrites. Though the neo cons cannot be blamed for all our problems they are constantly at work to destroy any good the government can do, condemning it all the while and trying real hard to be it. Is’t that cute; call government evil and then fight to the death to get into it? Reagan started the madness (though his buddy Nixon surely was, before Ronnie, the worst crook we’ve ever had) and the nightmare continues with the bushes and now the tea bag weirdos and run of the mill republicans that vote in a block to wreck everything.

What we desperately need and will never get is a fair and impartial investigation into the war crimes of the bush crime family. Sure I’m biased, but I know what I am talking about.
