better to blame than fix

So, if any of the marriage institution maniacs are keeping score, another holier than thou mindless wonder, Karl Rove, has called it quits for matrimony, yet a second time. It seems Mister and Mrs. Rove have decided that the whole marriage thing is yesterday’s news for them. We were told by a spokesperson that due to their (the Roves) need for privacy no actual reason or rhyme would be given for the split. And we were asked to respect their wishes.

It would seem a reasonable request that we let the Roves mind their own business if Mister Rove had not spent the last 8 years minding mine and hundreds of thousands of other LGBT’s business when it came to our rights. I would not give a minute of cause or alarm to the Rove’s inability to maintain a healthy marriage or relationship if Karl had not unleashed his minions of mad men and women bent on hoping their marriages would remain intact by disallowing any LGBT marriage from ever coming to fruition.

Most bully’s never like being pushed back. Their (the bully’s) confidence is collected by never having anyone on the offense, just allowing the victim to be hurt and hoping then that the bully never returns to inflict more harm. Mister Rove was constant in his attacks, causing insecure, unsophisticated, immature bigots to publically and proudly proclaim their fear and turn it into hate. His offense was amazing, now is he man enough to receive what he giveth?

The problem in this country is we allow ad lib, innuendo, gossip, fact less fables to own the headlines of our news. We prefer the “he said, she said”, commentary to rule the broadcasts, and merrily smirk at what we hope based on fiction, to be the truth. Many of us prefer to blame others for our misfortune, and hardly ever own our issues. Finding scapegoats makes the boo boo better, until the infection spreads and then we are in real trouble.

It seems with the hypocritical ranting of Rove, or the irreverent statements and denials of Palin, or the fear mongering tactics of Beck, the bully’s seem to be one step ahead of those who care about the truth. It is easier to rev up the crowd, relying on their own fears insecurities and bigotry, then to try and talk sense and find the commonalities or causes of what makes us unhappy.

It is better to blame then to fix.

It is so frustrating that the Catholic Church or the Church of Latter Day Saints, or the powerful ministers of the Mega Churches, don’t stand at their pulpits chastise or cite their sadness and disappointments that public figures such as Rove, or Ensign, or Sanford, or Gingrich, or McCain, or Giuliani, have done grave damage to the sanctimony of love, to the reason for relationships, to the failings of family. Instead these biased fearful self identified religious dogmatic hypocrites who say they stand for God’s word, just insight the stupid, and proclaim the only way to save the Institution of Marriage is to deny the Gays and Lesbians the right to participate.

Once again we find someone who shapes policy for others ignoring his message to the masses, and lives his life as he wishes unencumbered by any moral or ethical value. No boundaries for Karl Rove, nope he is just one more groupie who promotes do as I say, but not as I do.

And the sad thing is too few pay any attention to his deeds, but plenty of time to his vile misshaped message.
