(One man whose civil rights are being protected by the Bush Administration.) 

Well, who says the Bush Administration doesn't give two shits about civil rights?  Today the House passed legislation to give women, gays, and lesbians equal protection under the law against attacks and violent threats based on gender and sexual orientation.  Such legislation, to my thinking, is inherently American and clearly falls in line with our nation's purported respect for the rights of all individuals and all that noise we like to make about treating every citizen as equal under the law.

The White House's response?

The White House views the expanded hate crimes bill as, “unnecessary and constitutionally questionable. If H.R. 1592 were presented to the President, his senior advisors would recommend that he veto the bill.” The reason given for vetoing this bill is, “State and local criminal laws already provide criminal penalties for the violence addressed by the new Federal crime defined in section 7 of H.R. 1592, and many of these laws carry stricter penalties (including mandatory minimums and the death penalty) than the proposed language in H.R. 1592…..  There has been no persuasive demonstration of any need to federalize such a potentially large range of violent crime enforcement, and doing so is inconsistent with the proper allocation of criminal enforcement responsibilities between the different levels of government.”

Translation, please?

While the White House is dressing up its potential veto in legal terms, the political reality is that they don’t want to go against the socially conservative base of the GOP. In essence, social conservatives are couching their objections in a free speech argument, but what they really want is for homosexuals to be treated as sub humans who have no rights.

DING! 

Also:

But Dr. James C. Dobson, founder of Focus on the Family, warned that the true intent of the bill was “to muzzle people of faith who dare to express their moral and biblical concerns about homosexuality.'' If you read the Bible in a certain way, he told his broadcast listeners, “you may be guilty of committing a 'thought crime.'''

Do what, now?

Basically, what the White House is saying is, "The Preznint is going to veto this bill because it infringes on the rights of anti-gay bigots to spew their propaganda and say screamingly ignorant, hypocritical bullshit."

So, just in case any of you were wondering, the White House does care about your civil rights, but only if you are using those civil rights to deny other people their basic civil rights and equal status as American citizens.

To which I say:

Dear Bush Administration, Dr. Dobson, and all you other Poisonous Hating Bitchez:

You are cordially invited to go and lick a dog's ass until it bleeds.  I hope you all rot in hell, you ignorant, fatuous, hateful, cowardly shitbags.  I hope your dalliances with the DC Madam's Comfort Women gave you herpes sores on your herpes sores and that your genitals rot off with necrotic gas gangrene.*  

May your lives be miserable, zombie-like shuffles to early graves.  Graves that generations of good people will spit on and desecrate forever.

Much love,

T. Rex, Esq. 

Sometimes it is very, very hard for me not to wish extreme violence upon the people on the Other Side.  As a gay, American theropod, all I want is the assurance that I have full rights as an American.  Civil rights are NOT "special rights".  As it is, I am expected to pay full taxes and abide by the laws, even though I am a second-class citizen under Repugnican rule.  Isn't that taxation without representation?  Didn't we make a big stink about that at some point in the nation's history?

But this is another area where the 'Publicans have boundary issues.  They can't figure out that religion needs to stay in church and out of schools, governments, science labs, public health, and the courts.  I have patiently tried to explain to them that if they'll just keep their religion out of my bedroom, I won't have sex in their churches, but since they can't keep to their side of the bargain, it looks like I'm going to have to hunt up some pretty man and go get nasty in somebody's vestibule this Sunday.

Pity. 

(*Gas gangrene is a bacterial infection that produces gas within tissues in gangrene. It is a deadly form of gangrene usually caused by Clostridium perfringens bacteria. Due to its tendency to progress rapidly, it is considered a medical emergency. The rapid progression of gas gangrene occurs because of the tendency of expanding gas to open and separate the internal tissues, progressively exposing more and more healthy tissue to infection.

Gas gangrene is caused by exotoxin-producing clostridial species, which is mostly found in soil, and other anaerobes (e.g. Bacteroides and anaerobic streptococci). These environmental bacteria may enter the muscle through a wound and go on to proliferate in necrotic tissue and secrete powerful toxins. These toxins destroy nearby tissue, generating gas at the same time. A gas composition of 5.9% hydrogen, 3.4% carbon dioxide, 74.5% nitrogen and 16.1% oxygen was reported in one clinical case.[1]

Gas gangrene can cause myonecrosis, gas production, and sepsis. Progression to toxemia and shock is often very rapid.
