dumb seems to matter

Rainbows everywhere appearing on Facebook pages. Friends I know and people I have never met excited that when two people are in love it will now be called marriage. What a perfect moment in a world with too many imperfections. It seemed as if the government was paying attention to the Constitution inciting freedom instead of installing fear. But then the cracks seemed to rumble out of the satin sanguine and some decided that their America was not the home of the free;they instead culled up a cauldron of Christian victimization claiming that no matter how democratic this nation might seem, it was indeed a country of crusaders whose only allegiance is and was toward a particular Bible bestowed by a peculiar kind of God. The law of the land they pouted and pandered is NEVER as great as the virtues of a vengeful God! 

One might overlook the ignorant, the slime who slide carelessly across the rights and equality of others, but when one does overlook the stupid there is usually a whole lot of hell to pay. Candidates are running for the office of president pretending that those who have little contrivance for the Constitution actually care about the history of this nation. These men and one woman of the T-Publican party enjoy the comic relief of FOX Noise, allowing fiction to be decimated as fact, and rubbish to be used as reason, and they continue to chide any standard of decency. Court the dumb, keep them dumber, never admit the truth for fear that the really dumbest might revolt. These marionettes for the wealthy who only have a vision of their own well being lack conscience but come across as most con men/women as clear and concerned and of course Christian citizens. In a nation supposedly intended to have a demarcation between church and state it is scarily frightening how much of the church chimes loud and the state remains silent.


Marriage equality is the law of the land, but whose land, indeed? Threats of retaliation, intimidation and loathing, languish on the websites and radio stations of the Christian conservative media. Not in my country they boast as if the Confederacy won the war (and one has to wonder if it didn’t). There is no intent to embrace the mechanics of our democracy, (women’s reproductive rights a perfect example of ignoring the law),when the details involve inclusion. All of this could be stopped if the smart became as unified as the stupid and yelled as loud and proud as the dumb. But somehow we permit the T-Publican candidates to cater to cowards who use their God as scapegoat for hate calling these wanna be presidential candidates clowns in a clown car. We look the other way as wealthy millionaires cast a wayward spell on the rest of the minions, and the assumed clowns gain traction. I worry all the time just how powerful the most unintelligent become because the intelligent are too busy insisting the dumb are just too stupid to matter.
