Today isTuesday, April 21, 2009, the 111th day of the year. Miss California, Carrie Prejean, may have been denied the the Miss USA crown because of her response to the question of whether gay marriages should be legalized in all states. Carrie's response was that she believes marriage should be between a man and a woman. If it can be proven, and eventually it will, that she lost the contest due to her own personal beliefs, then she has been discrimated against and should file a lawsuit.In this age of "tolerance," it is not okay to unfairly mistreat gays or deny them civil rights. And this is proper. Just as gays have a right to their lifestyles without discrimation or mistreatment, then those who oppose their lifestyles should be afforded the same protection. It is grossly hypocritical to deny this woman based on belief. Do I smell a double standard? At times we are so politically correct that we're personally stupid.Moving on. Sarah Palin supporters are trying to block the confirmation of Kathleen Sebelius for Secretary of Health & Human Services. Their reason? It seems that Ms. Sebelius raised money from a Doctor who performs abortions. I don't get it. Why do these idiotic Conservatives believe that as long as they take a firm stand against abortion and homosexuality, they're bound for a chariot ride straight to the pearly gates? They come out in droves against the afformentioned issues yet they support a woman who is unethical, divisive, unintelligent, and a proven liar. Last week she neglected her duties as governer of Alaska to jetset around the lower 48 testing the "very frigid waters" of the 2012 presidential election. Are these things negated by the opposition to abortion and homosexuality? I say no. For the record, I am a Democrat, but am strongly against abortion and gay marriages. Biblically and morally these things are wrong. Now, I'm not running for any type of office so I won't apologize for my beliefs. Life begins at conception. The minute that little tadpole runs smack into that egg and becomes lost, a little junior boy or girl is given life. Regarding homosexuals: they have every right to do whatever they want. It is their life and one day they'll have to account for it as we all will. Although I don't agree with gay marriage, I readily acknowledge that life itself is all about choice and freewill. However, we have to be willing to live with whatever consequences result from that choice.I seriously don't understand these people who are already grooming themselves for the 2012 election when Obama's seat in the oval office is only "lukewarm" at this point. It is yet another display of disrespect for this Commander-in-Chief. When George W. was royally messing up things I didn't hear calls for his head or his impeachment. People gave him not one but two chances to prove himself and he was graded an ultimate failure upon his departure. Why can't President Obama be afforded the same respect? Why is it so difficult for many pundits and commentators (Republicans specifically) to address President Obama by his official title? Most of them address him simply as Obama, Barack Obama, or the President. I rarely hear President Obama. Well, you may not want to claim him as your President but that's what he is. You can call a rose a cucumber but it's still a rose. Get over it!Has beens such as Newt Gingrich and Dick Cheney should go home, put their brains in retirement mode, buy a new recliner, and reach for the remote control with the extra large buttons. Their opinions are neither wanted or needed in the political realm. Bush 43 got out of the limelight and so should they.The Republican party is in such disarray that they're becoming 24/7 comedy relief. When you consider Michael "the token one" Steele, Rush " the hate-spewing" loud-mouth Limbaugh, Michelle "the mentally unstable" Bachmann, Sarah "the absent-minded" Palin, Sean "the point me in the direction of the nearest klan rally" Hannity, Bill "the just don't have a clue" O'Reilly, and John "the don't have an alternative just like to oppose the President" Boehner, then its easy to conclude that the slow death of the Grand Old Pathetics is sheer torment.
