Today I'm feeling particularly angry and fucked over. It started last night when I heard that the Obama administration made it mandatory for terror suspects captured in Afghanistan to be read Miranda Rights. You know the ones, '... right to remain silent...court of law...right to an attorney...if you can't afford one, one will be provided for you.' Instead of smacking them on the bridge of their nose with the ass end of an AK-47 to convince them they need to give up information, we're telling them that they have the right not to say a fucking thing. We're also telling them (just a reminder, when I say 'them,' I'm referring to Muslim terrorists that want to murder everyone in the Western world. Not just men, women and children too. And puppies) that if they don't have enough rupees or whatever the fuck they use, we (and by 'we' I mean the tax-paying citizens of the United States of America. You know, the hard working people that terrorists want to murder)will provide them with a lawyer at our expense. What in the sweet shit is wrong with this man? He has to be the dumbest or the most naive person on the planet. It's cute when 5th graders say that there should be no more wars, everyone should get rid of their nuclear weapons and live in peace and harmony with their fellow man or that we should treat those people over there in Afghanistan nicely. It's fucking dangerous when the President of the U.S.A. says the same shit.
Disclaimer: This next bit starts off sorta liberal douche-esque. You've been warned.
In countless cities, especially big cities, there is a portion of the police force that beats the shit out of people. I'm well aware that this isn't something all cops do and I'm also aware that there are some places where this is more prevalent than other. And don't get me wrong, if a police officer is strolling down the street and happens to see a mugger steal an old woman's purse or punt a baby down an alley, you wouldn't hear word one from me if the cop whacked the guy in the head with his big cop flashlight. But if they hear on their police scanner that there has been a robbery in the city of Chicago and the suspect is a carbon-based life form, between 4'1'' and 7'2'', is wearing clothing and needs food and water for survival, can we try to narrow it down a bit before we start clubbing people over the head?
Anyhow, I got off topic there. What I'm getting at is that one of the most notorious cities for police brutality is Chicago. There is always a story about the police here beating people up. Suspects, people who know suspects, people who might have played a game of pick-up basketball with a suspect in 1993. As it happens, our president was a senator in Illinois and lived Chicago. He didn't do one fucking thing to stop it. Weird, right? He told the people here to go fuck themselves and hightailed it right out of the shithole that is Chicago to go to D.C. and make sure we don't beat terrorist murderers like we do teenagers who happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. What is most enraging about this is that, if you have any brain cells at all, you know many of the innocent people getting their heads smashed in are minorities. This man has been touted as the best thing to happen to the black community since The Emancipation Proclamation. Schools are named after him for fuck's sake. Yet, he flipped the bird to every 15-year-old kid who was within a 40 mile radius of a crime scene and caught a cop's size 10 to his head, opting instead to make sure terrorists in a war zone know that they don't have to tell us shit if they don't feel like it. Why aren't minority groups outraged by this? Why don't I see anyone throwing a fit because Obama is putting in more effort to protect terrorists than he did to protect innocent American civilians? Not surprising, everyone is a fucking hypocrite and damn near everyone is dumber than a rock with no interest in changing it. Caring is a burden.
The other thing that bugged me today was a story on Drudge about the gay community's reaction to Borat 2: Electric Boogaloo. Apparently, Sacha Baron Cohen is coming out with a movie about one of the characters he does called Bruno. Bruno is flamboyantly gay and the movie is meant to be a satire about homophobia and its many irrational worries. Seems kinda cool right? A sort of throwback to the 17th and 18th century political satires for which Jonathan Swift is so famous. Wrong. It seems that we're too stupid to understand satire. Some guy from Human Rights Campaign said, 'We strongly feel that Sacha Baron Cohen and Universal Pictures have a responsibility to remind the viewing public right there in the theater that this is intended to expose homophobia.' That's a perfect way to convince the general public to get behind gays (pun completely intended), tell them you think they're all inbred retards who would think a movie depicting a comedic character having sex with another dude in front of a baby was a documentary. The other thing about this that really pissed me off was some GLAD spokesfruit saying, 'Some people in our community may like this movie, but many are not going to be OK with it.' So fucking what? Some people in your community will go see it, some people won't. Do movies have to be 'OK' with every member of the gay community in order to be made? I'm not OK with M. Night Shyamalan being allowed to own any type of recording device, but he continues to make those things he inaccurately refers to as movies. You know what else, I'm not OK with cancer, headaches or stubbed toes. It doesn't fucking matter though does it? Shit you don't like will always be around and there is not a single thing you can do about it. How about you get as organized and outraged about the fact that you're not allowed to get married as you do about a silly movie by some weird English Arab Jew? Put as much effort into gay rights as you do into crying like girls about a movie that is actually on your fucking side. It's mind boggling. The fact that this is something I'm even thinking about hurts my soul. Ugh.
