I'm so OVER this whole democracy thing

This fuck you & your provisional ballot.

This "culture of life."

This electronic-voter-machine-backed reality that nothing brings people together like fear & hate.

This progressive self-loathing ritual in which so-called liberals get on the radio and start blaming the ACLU, the NAACP, and the "gay community" for the disastrous election results.

This "moral values" bullshit as if queer folk / poor folk / women folk / antiwar-war folk / mama folk don't have any.

Like we need some rich daddy with a belt to straighten us out.

'Cause nurturance and mama care are moral values.

NOT dropping bombs on innocent people so you can steal their resources & call it freedom is a moral value.

Holding the safety net for the weakest in our communities is a moral value.

NOT recruiting our kids into militarism to kill thousands and die alone for that rich daddy's tax break is a moral value.

Reproductive freedom, equality, womanism, hospitality . . . love.

I could go on.

I will.

We've just had the same thing in Australia. John Howard (aka Johnnie Bonsai) won another term and now some reps from the newly formed 'family first party' are talking about making abortion illegal. Why can't these MEN stay out of a woman's body?!
