then and now again

They are only homosexuals after all, assumes Utah’s Republican Governor Gary Herbert, now what kind of liberty for all do THEY deserve? They are only Colored people after all assumed Republican George Wallace of Alabama now why the hell do they think they deserve equal access to higher learning? The Book of Mormon has no tolerance for the homosexual, so swears Governor Herbert, and albeit this is not a Mormon nation Utah sure as darn tooting is a Mormon state and screw the divide between religion and government, homosexuals are evil beings. The New Testament clearly denotes that the Colored folk are a savage beast, so swore Governor Wallace, better left to the wilds of Africa or the cotton fields of Alabama. This IS a Christian nation and as long as I am Governor of this Christian state I will not permit equality in education between Coloreds and Whites. Its the American way, the Christian way, the Mormon way to separate, divide, deny and refuse equality, justice, fairness for all, so said a Governor from the dirges of a racial past and a Governor from the current dredges of homophobia today. No difference, hate is hate, discrimination discrimination. What Constitution… we got our Bibles to tell us so!

Back in the day a large majority of Alabamians believed that no matter what the Yankee Federal government wanted, it was the racist, small minded Bible thumping mob of true Americans who knew better. Coloreds were always supposed to be the inferior race and no President is gonna tell them differently. Separate water fountains, back of the bus seats, white only neighborhoods the only way to keep the white race pure, the American flag red WHITE and blue and Christian women and children safe. Here in the day, a band of religious bigots once founded on polygamist principals, never eager to let anyone into their church unless they were pure bred white, dedicated to heterosexual predominance and preservation living in Utah owned by the Church of Ladder Day Saints are aghast that the Federal Government might even consider establishing laws for ALL the citizens of their state. Not in our state, not in a state where we count on difference to consul our paranoid brethren, where equality is earned, no one messes with the laws of Brigham Young.

As if 1300 plus Gay and Lesbian couples were just a laughable number of misfits, pretending to love, honor and respect one another as married people was insignificant. As if thousands of Black college aged students sons and daughter of slaves, actually thought they should consider a college education. The Governor of Utah today as had the Governor of Alabama in the past demonstrated via their actions that government is not for all the people and should only work for some of the people. Based on a concoction of religious dogma, racist or homophobic intent spiced with bias and bigotry the real special type taught at dining room tables and church pews, America is once again eye witnessing bias, bigotry and whole bunch of baloney. Injustice under the guise of a God who hates is such a sick combination. Pretending that the the Constitution was never meant for those we deem different is just pathetic. History repeating itself in such a repulsive manner disgusting. They were just Colored folk then and they are only homosexuals now…
