It’s from a video spoof called Sheik Fil A….. Delaware Liberal introduced to us a week and a half ago.
A lot of people, especially men have trouble dealing with anal penetration of the buttocks, especially when that anus belongs to another man.
For that reason, their squeamishness causes them to be against da gays. Those most adamant against this act usually come from areas where if that act is done, it is not done in love, but is instead used as a brutal weapon. Bluntly put, it is used in rural America, Arab nations, and areas of the inner city, as rape, … a crime of violence and not mutual respect.
Therefore those from areas where this constantly occurs ( a more violent version of Mitt Romney pinning a boy down and cutting his hair,) tend to be consistently against that act. Ironically, most often none tend to see anything wrong when that practice occurs between heterosexual couples. It is safe. It is harmless. It is exploratory, and it is consensual. Most often, those who are violently against da gays, see nothing wrong with two old ladies living together. They never venture to wonder what goes on in that old house. But they have no problem with them being roomies. Likewise they see old men living together as acceptable. They are old. Surely nothing goes on inside that old house…
Because of the horrible trauma that they have endured, they fail to see that marriage equality is about love… nothing more. People don’t stay together for years just to get off. They stay because that person is who they want to spend their time with. Every day they face a question? Do I want to go to a club and hook up, or do I want to go home to my best friend, and every day they choose to go home to their best friend.
To be fair the same choice exists for hetero-sexual couples. Should I take this easy lay being offered at work, or should I go home to my life-partner… It appears now that 50% of us choose to go home to our spouses. The other 50% take the easy lay. Based on divorce figures that is…
The more you look at it, the more two gays in a relationship appear better if not as good, as a man and a wife in a relationship. It certainly isn’t about sex in a hetero sexual marriage. Those of you who have been married forty years…. how often do you have sex now? How about thirty? Twenty? Sadly there are an awful lot of people out there not having sex these days… despite the invention of viagra…
So why is it “only” about sex in a single sex couple? It isn’t. It is about finding someone you love, and choosing to last long enough together to see what that love will grow…..
So if you are against single sex marriage, you are against love. And in the words of our Lord and Saviour, being against love, is not where you want your heart to be when you pass over to the other side…
So what do you do about Chik Fil A appreciation day. Their chicken is soooo good, like butter… butter it is.. It is the only thing worth waiting for in a Drive Thru line… So how does one balance ones innate desire to support something soo good you can’t do without, versus someone else’s problem with someone expressing their freedom of speech…..
What if instead of gays, Chik Fil A was busting on Christians?.. What if they were busting on Muslims? What if they were busting on Catholics? What if they were busting on Jews? What if they were busting on wet backs? What if they were busting on Spics? What if they were busting on Pollacks? What if they were busting on Talley’s? What if they were busting on Indians? What if they were busting on Mexicans? What if instead of gays, we were in the deep south of the 60’s, and they were busting on blacks, saying blacks shouldn’t get married; saying blacks can’t vote; saying blacks can’t go to restrooms with whites; saying blacks have to sit on the back of the bus; saying blacks can’t sit at the part of the counter that plainly says…. “white’s only”? Would you be one of those southerners laughing it off as something them northern city-fied liberals were instigating, and damn it, someone with southern pride was gonna buy every piece of chicken that Chik Fil A put down in the grease?
If so… I hope you choke on your chicken……..
“I’m starting to think we really ticked off Mother Nature somehow, because we’ve been getting spanked by her for about a year now,” he said while grabbing some coffee at a convenience store…..
OF COURSE YOU DID, DUMMY. YOU VOTED FOR REPUBLICANS!
There are just seven sessions left.
Both the dockets of the Senate and the House are full
It looks unlikely that the Senate will override its leadership and vote.
Now again is it time to call.
Senate Majority Leader
Senator Anthony J. DeLuca
(D) Varlano Legislative District: 11
Legislative Hall Office Outside Office
P.O. Box 1401

It must go up for a vote…. (it still can if enough of us yell loud enough)
Many of you are familiar with the story and possibly with this year’s movie with the same title: Horton Hears A Who.
In that scenario, the tiny dust speck on which lives a whole civilization of “Who’s”, is about to be boiled alive. Only by making their existence known within the Kangaroo Court on whose decision their fate lies, will their civilization be spared. Even with everyone on the planet yelping, clanging, and gonging, only the giant elephant ears of Horton, can pick up their minuscule vibrations. Entreated by Horton, the mayor races through town to find any voice not appropriately yelling for its own salvation…..
In one room, more interested in playing with his yo yo, is one tiny ‘who”. Racing back to the megaphone, he holds the tiny tot up and gives it a big pinch….
It does the trick. Their existence is acknowledged.
The metaphorical parallels as to whether Delaware survives, prospers, or not, are somewhat scary.
So if you haven’t already done so today, put down your Yo Yo, pick up the phone to the above number….
AND SQUAWK!
I was given this story……
It was in the ’60’s, in a small West Virginian town. An existing dam across the New River had been built for flood control with leftover WPA funds, forcing the creation of a large lake behind it. Part of the dam had been built for future power generation, but that part had not been finalized.
Appalachian Power wanted to put hydroelectric turbines in that dam.
The community below that dam, was trying to build tourism as its source of income. Responsible for that town’s revival were a group of WWII veterans and young men, known as the Hinton Jaycees.
A hearing was to be held before the state regulatory board, and a decision was to be handed down. With no opposition, the power company thought it would turn into a slam dunk. The Jaycees thought differently and the small town editor covered the meeting which discussed the upcoming regulatory board meeting. He mentioned they would attend the meeting.
The next day, the bank informed all participants that if anyone showed up for the meeting, the bank would call their loans…..The only one who they had no hold over was a back-woods preacher; no problem, they needed some opposition to give the hearing some legitimacy, What harm could some religious kook do?
The hearing progressed and the “focal point” of the regulators quickly became exactly what the power company meant by “run of river.”
The power company said that was hardly anything at all. It meant that if they didn’t need power, they filled the lake. if power was needed they released it. No big deal. Water level rise and fall all the time; every time it rained. Silly to let good jobs go over concern over something that occurs naturally. And they would not stop with this one dam. They wanted to build a series of dams down the river, all the way to Charleston. Doing so gave them the potential to supply much of the energy required of the growing Mid Atlantic area….. and there would be no pollution to boot……
The backwoods preacher was called to testify. Thinking it was over the power exec’s and their lawyers made a presentation of leaving the room. After the commotion was over, the preacher began to speak.
With him he said, were the past night’s data showing the release of Appalachian Power’s Radnor Virginia dam upriver. The data showed the rise of six to eight feet in as little as twenty minutes. Flood stage was set at fourteen feet. It did not take great imagination to realize that there could be no fishing below any dam releasing sporadic flows of such volume. For one, the fish would not survive such turbulence, and two, any fisherman, getting their foot caught in a crevasse (a rather common occurrence) while racing to beat the rising water, would also not survive. Secondly he brought a topographical map showing that the water level of one of the proposed dams, would cover a planned state lodge with forty feet of water. The board was amazed because the proposed dam was so far away from the site of the planned state park, but it was such a shallow rise, that indeed, the planned hotel would be under water……
The regulatory board looked at the release data provided (which incidentally the power company said they had no way of providing), and the topographical maps, and voted to kill the power project right then and there….
Had that project gone forward, and it was considered by all to be a slam dunk, (just as the Connectiv gas turbine here in Delaware was also once considered to be a slam dunk…) the New River Gorge National River, would never have come about. Instead we would see a series of lakes, stair stepping down the New River Gorge, all with “run of the river.”.
There is a lesson to be learned from this little tale……of a battle that took place against a power company “far, far away……”
You fight powerful power companies with facts.
They can’t run from facts.
This would have been under water had the deal gone through.
This landmark, Sandstone Falls, would have been buried underneath one of the dam’s lakes.
This Grandview, would have appeared differently.
Below this dam in question, is the spot rated best fishing East of the Mississippi by many fishing magazines, primarily because of its constant stream flow, because there is no “run of river” at this location.
