I was not trying to playa hate Bette Midler, just showing a different opinion about the way heterosexual and homosexual culture divides itself within the larger social and assumingly liberal democratic structure. I still consider myself a fan of that wind beneath my wings and “The Rose” is always going to be one of my favorite films. We can be critical of our icons and still side with them which is one of the great things about living in a “Free Speech Zone.” You can say whatever you like about anyone you want, as long as you do it within one of these specially fenced in areas. What the fuck? I thought AMERICA was a free speech zone.
Apparently, if the President is going to be fucking up a speech or pretending to be a soldier somewhere, you cannot protest, bring a sign, talk any or all kind of shit about him unless you are in a “Free Speech Zone,” as it is called, which can be up to a mile away from where that idiot is talking out of his head at (article here). I guess that Dumm-ya is tired of getting his feelings hurt by those mean people with OPINIONS about the CONSTITUTION and so he ain’t having it anymore, so don’t think you can say it to his face. You can say it when you are a mile away, but not to his face or his secret service man’s face or anyone’s face that is within the radius of what I guess is the “First Amendment Free Zone.” Our President doesn’t have the constitution to uphold the Constitution. I can’t believe it. While he was governor of Texas, he oversaw the execution of 130 prisoners on death row and now as Commander in Chief has the blood of hundreds of American soldiers and countless Iraqi troops and civilians on his hands. He continues to rob the poor of this nation to line the pockets of his important corporate sponsors, but if he sees a picket sign reminding him of any of these crimes, he will cry “Patriot Act,” and make you go to a special area where you can be corralled and counted as a “Free Speaker.” Fuck him. That is so stupid. He is not only a murderer, a liar and a thief, he is also a coward. He can dish it out but he cannot take it. I may not be right all the time and I am prone to doing and saying stupid shit myself, but if I fuck up, I expect to get called on it, and either back myself up, or apologize. If we are to judge society, then expect to be judged. That is how the shit works. I say judge on, Judge Judy. Bring it. I want to make the entire area around my bed a free speech zone so you could wake me in the middle of the night to talk to me about what you didn’t like about what I said (okay, not really, not in life, but in theory this should be acceptable). I am not afraid. But not George “I’m gonna tell Ashcroft” Bush. He is scared of us, which I can only say is a good thing. It means that we are onto something. It means that we might have a chance at getting our country back. It also means that the Constitution is open to ‘interpretation’ and I do not want to find out about all the different ways the amendments can be ‘read’ if we have to endure another four years of lunacy from this idiot, crazy, illiterate, ignant, prejudiced, cold blooded, homophobic, racist, stupid, fearful, ass backwards, “I know you are but what am I,” power mad, greedy, bad, sad and hideous excuse for a president. I wonder if I can fit all those words on a sign.
