Shame Shame Shame

It is with a very heavy heart we note that yesterday, with approximately three-fourths of the 20% of Texas voters who cast ballots, the Texas constitution was soiled with Proposition 2, an amendment designed to guarantee that homosexual Texans are deprived of the equal protection of the laws by preventing their legal marriage. The amendment further prohibits the state, as well as any locality within the state, from legally recognizing any household-forming contract between this class of citizens.

Here we have, fellow citizens, the face of today's Republican Party: runaway government spending, budget-busting new entitlement programs, and Jim Crow version 2.0 (the Anti-Gay Edition), with the spirit of Ronald Reagan nowhere in sight. Instead we have Texas Governor Rick Faubus Perry and President George W. Wallace Bush setting down their cultural marker of fear and loathing. Welcome to Republican America: Land of the Free...if you're [straight|white|fundamentalist] like me.

As such, the Liberal Capitalist Party urges all fair-minded Republicans to consider whether the Republican Party truly represents them, their interests, or the best interests of what should be the Land of the Free (period). We hope that you will conclude, as we have, that for America to finally fulfill her promise of liberty for all, a third compelling and ultimately overwhelming voice must be raised.

    The road to wisdom? Well it's plain and simple to express:
    Err, and err,
    and err again,
    but less, and less, and less.
