Re: Official Rant, Scream, Cry, etc. Thread

FWIW here's the rant I posted on my blog this morning. Apologies if it bashes republicans or religion, but it was what I was feeling at the time...

THE WAR ON FUN

Well, it's official. The Republicans in the US Govt have officially declared victory in the War on Fun. I have to give credit to Bill "I diagnose via videotape" Frist and his right-wing cronies. The kitten-killer and his pals have their priorities in order. Who cares about a disasterously executed war in Iraq, the return of the Taliban, the continuing threat of terrorism, the mushrooming national debt, the lack of affordable healthcare, or the pending insolvency of our social security/medicare funds? We all know what the REAL problem facing America is: people playing poker in their pajamas!

Welcome to the Theocracy of the United States of America. Gambling, you see, is bad. And it is the job of our federal government to make sure we do nothing bad so we can all get into heaven. They are saving us from ourselves. Thank god for our right-wing politicians. Thank god for the religious kooks they pander to! I was actually beginning to think that as a grown, tax-paying adult, I could choose to spend my entertainment dollars how I saw fit. I thought if, after a day at work, I wanted to play a few hands of poker in my spare time, that was none of the government's business. I was wrong! And I was on my way to eternal damnation! So our government is doing what it was designed to do: it is saving my soul. Praise Jesus. And Bill Frist!

I am hoping the government continues working to save the souls of Americans who are too weak and stupid to live moral lives. I hope they outlaw alcohol, pornography, fantasy sports, and trans-fats. In fact I hope they outlaw chocolate. And Big Macs. Have you see how fat Americans have gotten? We need to be protected from the evils of junk food. God is not a fan of gluttony. Gluttony will earn you a stay in purgatory at the very least.

I encourage all Americans to continue to sit back and let the feds take away any civil liberties they deem necessary. They know what's good for us. They are smarter, and more righteous, and more MORAL than us. They are trying their best to get us into heaven. Trading a few civil liberties in exchange for eternal bliss is a pretty darn good bargain.
