Why the White South Is Still in Denial About Slavery | Tea Party and the Right | AlterNet

Seriously? F the South.

I have lived in Texas, worked in almost every southern state. They fly a flag celebrating treason, still call elderly black men “boy” and have taken a serious look at treating (mostly) undocumented brown folks into either felons or slave labor. Or both. And most of the latter has happened in earnest just this year in states like Georgia, Alabama, and North Carolina.

So, yeah, this article speaks to that syndrome. That sickness. That unspoken sin carried by anyone who still believes in racial hatred or just quietly lets in hang like an evil fog just outside their front doors.

Gay community apologizes to Amy Koch for ruining her marriage – Minneapolis News – The Blotter

Hypocrisy is a bitch.

The state GOP has lost their senate leader. Turns out she has a problem keeping her marriage vows and was screwing one of her staff members.

Ironically, she is one of those staunch defenders of “traditional marriage” that are trying to alter the Minnesota state constitution to only permit marriages such as hers. No, not unfaithful, loveless, and false, but between a man and a woman only.

So, the gay community did they should in the marketplace of bigoted, right wing sociopaths: they apologized.

You know, because anyone who believes that gays should marry is surely in favor of destroying any other kind of marriage. And certainly Senator Amy Koch would never have allowed herself to make the monster with two backs with anyone other than her wedded husband if it weren’t for those darn gays she hates so much.

Right?
