dear liberal america,

you just got scammed.

remember when all those green party friends of yours told you that barack obama was “too good to be true?” that he was “just another part of the machine?” that his promises of hope were “hollow and just another ploy for a well-established capitalist regime to gain control of america’s resources for financial gain?”

but you were like : “no way! he’s the real deal!”

and then remember when you heard that he didn’t support gay marriage but did support civil unions?

but you were like : “nah… he’s just doing that because he has to placate the masses! he really does support gay marriage but he’s just saying he doesn’t to get elected!”

and then, very recently, remember when barack obama chose evangelical pastor rick warren to deliver the invocation at his innauguration - a man that equates homosexuality to incest and pedophilia?

and you’re like : “….oh fuck.”

yeah. that’s called : you just got scammed.

all those hippy, anarchist, pinko friends of yours (remember the ones you said fucked up the election in 2000?) were right. apparently barack obama wasn’t only pandering to the ex-republicans and homo-haters out there with his attempt at moderate policy - he was also pandering to you. and i know. now you feel bad that you were swayed by his glorious speeches and that this dude made you involved in politics for the first time in your adult life and now he’s shitting all over your human rights… but really.

what did you expect?

wait, i know that too. you thought that this guy was tapped in to what was really going on. this guy has youtube fireside chats. you thought that if the american people have a problem with him, he’ll be more aware of it and swift-acting-to-fix-it than any other president. and just a few days ago you thought that surely the backlash on the internet over this decision will get to him and make him realize that most of his supporters aren’t cool with this.

but again, you’re wrong.

and it’s not for not trying. check out change.gov’s “join the discussion” pages and look at the comments. people use the internet and don’t like this decision. but what has it warranted from the obama campaign? just another “we’re trying to bring people together” line of bullshit.

i have a news flash for you mr. prez. you’ve got us. we’re all cozy and together and we all voted for you. now is not the time to try to win over those that didn’t by seducing them with hate. john mccain tried that, remember? and it didn’t work.

and fuck that bullshit of “well, all those bible thumpers are americans too. we said we’re gonna reach across the aisle and that’s who’s on the other side, so deal.” first of all, i was never a fan of that. i wanted this dude to just convince everyone that being a democrat is better. i want those “people on the other side” to come over to our side - i’m not interested in fulfilling their hateful agendas. there’s not a simple difference of opinion here. it’s not like my side likes vanilla ice cream and their side likes chocolate. my side (or at least the smart ones) favor human rights for ALL humans. their side would rather us fags would just disappear and let jesus do his work without any interruptions.

in this case, i’m saying my side is right. and guess what? i always say that. that’s the whole point of being ON A SIDE. fuck these false hopes of unifying our nation in simple singular political fell swoops. why doesn’t barack obama do what he does best (or at least what i thought he did best) and educate.

why not teach all those idiots that hate gay people that there’s no difference between gay and straight people! that we share a fuck load of stuff! instead of saying : “america, it’s great to be gay and it’s also great to hate gays. that’s what unity means!”

getting scammed sucks. i don’t even know what to think anymore.

and i’m sorry all you smelly, nader-ites out there. i was wrong. i guess you were right - still fucking annoying - but right.

ugh.
