Citizen D vs. The Crispies

Vol. I
   I had an interesting experience today. After I had spent my entire day seeing to the healthcare of the elderly people, I was getting onto the highway and noticed people standing outside at the traffic light holding signs and handing out flyers. At first, I saw two young girls, one about 8 or 9, the other around 13 or 14. They were holding large signs that when I got closer I could read � �Vote Yes on Amendment 2�..A Marriage Should Be Between A Man and A Woman� and on and on, you get the idea. Missouri is trying to pass an amendment to the state constitution to ban gay marriage I guess, and these kids were coaxed by someone to come out in the 90-degree weather on an interstate intersection to hold fucking signs. I saw another man further up ahead handing out flyers, and I tried to get one, but eventually got honked at too much and had to move on.
    On the rest of the drive home, I was just awestruck. I just kept asking myself, �What the fuck was that?� I mean these kids were way too young to have ever met a person they knew to be gay, I assume they were most likely not sure what being gay actually entailed, and I considered flagging them over to my car and asking them that very question, but thought it might not look so good. Some fucking prick had strapped a sign to them and convinced them that they were doing God�s work by standing in the sun, condemning the lives of people they do not know and do not know anything about.
    And that brings me to the major point in most of my writing, who the fuck cares? Do these bible-thumpers feel threatened by gay people getting married? I guess so, but I just fail to see the logic behind that for some reason. I guess that if there were a limited number of marriage licenses given each year, and there was competition for them, or a waiting list, I could see them being angry. But that�s not the fucking case; it�s not even close to the case. In fact, I see it as quite the opposite. A marriage license is nothing, it�s a sheet of paper�congrats on your special day�.and your piece of paper. As far as I am concerned, I am in full support of gay relationships and gay marriage, and I will tell you why.
    First, gay men. If they want to get married, then I am all for that, because it takes more hot dudes out of the dating pool and catapults me to the top of the hotness ladder, and that is a task in and of itself. As for the ladies, let them all marry each and live happy lives, because I can count on one hand the number of gay women I have met in my life that I would want to have a relationship with�.in fact, I think I can count it on one finger. So gay women trim the dating pool of babes that I would not want to date anyway, so I say �Go for it!�
    As one of the main arguments I have heard from the Crispies, they say that gay people getting married �destroys the sanctity of marriage.� What a load of fucking bullshit. I might have bought that argument about 50 years ago, but not today, no fucking way. Anyone who still thinks that the act of getting married means anything sacred is insane. I mean this argument comes from the same people who sit at home at night and watch whatever fucking reality TV show is on where you �tune in next week, when the studio audience, and you, the viewers, will put in your votes to see who Mr. or Mrs. Whoever will marry��so much for sanctity. That died a long time ago.
    I guess I am just missing the logic somewhere along the way. I mean these people stand out in the sun and put out huge amounts of effort to fuck with people who they don�t like, but really have no reason to hate, because gay people�s lives do not affect them in anyway. Meanwhile, I am in a medical office, taking care of decrepit old farts, whom I do not particularly care for at all, but I am there to help them, because them being alive and doing their thing doesn�t really fuck with me at all�.which is reason #3578 why I am better than Crispies.
    In summation, the fact that our government is trying to pass an amendment to the Constitution to ban gay marriage just blows my mind. I wanted to stand out on that street corner with a sign that said �These People Are The Reason Why People Hate One Another.� I guess that whole �separation of church and state� thing just gets put aside in cases such as this. I mean, as far as I can see, they are trying to pass a state law strictly on a religion basis. If I was asked to define what a conflict of church and state is, that is the definition that I would give. If any crispies or lawmakers out there can fill me in on how that is not a contradiction, feel free to
contact me, I am guessing I will not have many takers on that one, because most people who read this are not fucking redneck retards�.notice I said �most.�


I was listening to a George Carlin performance the other day, and I thought this part applied somewhat, so I typed it out for your enjoyment.


This country�s most profitable business is the manufacturing, packaging, distribution, and marketing of bullshit. Bullshit is rampant. Parents are full of shit, teachers are full of shit, clergymen are full of shit, and law enforcement is full of shit. This entire country is completely full of shit and always has been. From the Declaration of Independence to the Constitution, to the Star Spangled banner, its really nothing more than one big steaming pile of red, white, and blue, all America bullshit. Think about it. America was started by slave owners who told us all men are created equal�all men, except Indians, niggers, and women. Remember the founder were a small group of unelected, white male landholding slave owners who also, by the way, suggested their class be the only one allowed to vote. To my mind, that is what is known as being stunningly and embarrassingly full of shit, and everybody bought it, all Americans bought it. And those same Americans continue to show their ignorance�.
In the bullshit department, no one can hold a candle to a clergyman, because when it comes to bullshit, big-time, major-league bullshit, you have to stand in awe, in awe, of the all-time champion of false promises and exaggerated claims, religion. No contest. Religion easily has the greatest bullshit story ever told. Think about it. Religion has actually convinced people, many of them adults, that there is an invisible man who lives in the sky and watches everything they do, every minute of every day, and has a special list of 10 things he does not want you to do. And if you do any of these 10 things, he has a special place full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish where he will send you to remain and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry for ever and ever until the end of time. t he loves you. He loves you and he needs money. He always needs money. He is all-powerful, all-perfect, all-knowing, and all-wise, but somehow, he just can�t handle money. Religion takes in billions of dollars, pays no taxes, and somehow they always need a little more. Now, you talk about a good bullshit story,
holy shit.
