i really want miss california to shut the fuck up and to get her crown snatched. Not because she has an opinion but because she's in violation of her contract. Because she lied and continues to lie about her posing in those pictures.
Next thing you know, she's talking to James Dobson about her upstanding christian values.
I grew up not being able to listen to rock music, go to movies with my friends, (I didn't see ET until i was a fucking adult) wear shorts that weren't four inches higher than my knees, talk to boys on the phone until I was 18, have a boyfriend without my father's complete 1 hour long humiliation of making sure that the boy was 'christian enough' and if he weren't then maybe my dad could 'take him to god'. One piece swimsuits worn with t shirts while the boys got to walk around in their swim trunks... etc etc etc.
all because of James Dobson's conservative values which my father shared, and many others (Jerry Fallwell, Tim La Haye etc)
This girl gets to walk around in nothing for a swimsuit competition, in which she is (to use the words I heard from my youth) parading around like a woman with loose morals and showing her body, which is reserved ( like a table ) for her husband.
She gets to have everyone from the conservative religious right rally to her side as she 'defends marriage'.
They conveniently overlook the naughty photos from when she was younger. Believe me, they would have been considered pornographic by this same community a week earlier. And she gets to go on Jame's Dobson's radio show as someone who is 'standing up' Because God told her not to compromise this?
The fact that James Dobson had her on his show as an example, is an insult to the fucking alienating torture of a teenage life that I, and several other girls had to live to conserve our 'chasteness' and moral character. I wouldn't have even been able to have a friend that did half of the things she's done lest I be associated as approving of her deeds.
I'm sick of the religious right, and sick of the back assward, hypocritical, self serving, holier than thou line of b.s. indoctrination that i've heard since i was three.
I'm sick of the stranglehold of the right wing moralistic oppressive politics. One single set of beliefs should not rule over the whole.
I've figured out how to bring down the banks ( stop using credit cards, stop using debit cards, keep as much money in your bank as possible so that you don't get mysterious overdraft charges, and use cash. seems simple, but if everyone did it, the banking system would fall because it would loose billions of dollars)
but I can't figure out how to 'bring down' the religious right political persuasion....
its all pish and i'm fed up with it. so there's my beef.
