No more listening to the Beacon of Hope mantra –  America use to be such a place but no more — it’s about greed, corruption, and oppression of the powerless.  Half of America, if not more, believe in suppressing the constitution, torture, wars, racism, and crushing personal freedoms.  Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Ashcroft, and many others in the Republican administration should all be in jail.

Recently, the U.N. attempted to pass a resolution to decriminalize homosexuality — 66 countries supported it.  Guess what?  Not the U.S.A. — turns out our official policy is all for criminalizing homosexuality.  That puts us in bed with all of the Islamic fundamentalist states.  So, the American religious wacko fundamentalists are  equivalent to the Islamic fundamentalists — one religion or another, it just doesn’t matter that much.

Homosexuality is a criminal offense in more than 80 countries, while in at least seven nations, including Saudi Arabia, sex between men can be punished with the death penalty.

Notice that this U.N. resolution was not about gay marriage — it was simply to decriminalize being a homosexual so that countries stop killing or putting gays into prison.

Don’t expect much relieve from Obama either.  Obama has invited Rick Warren to do the invocation at the upcoming inauguration, and pastor Rick believes that homosexuality is a sin.  What a guy!  Hey Rick — why don’t you condemn all the blow jobs in your congregation?  You know, that Sodom and Gomorrah crap?

Seriously!  What is fucking wrong with America that in the year 2008 oppression still abounds?

America is doomed.
