This is what it took. This is what it may take.

This day, non-hetrosexuals in this country awoke to the startling realization that in this supposed land of the free, having those freedoms would be based on how the mob feels about you.

And gays, Lesbians, bisexuals, and transgenders, as well as others who live outside of the so-called norms, found out last night in Maine and other states that if they could wipe them all out, the mob would.

Of course there are those who feel that. And those who still have humanity enough to fight that.

But after all of the marches and speeches and activism and over 2000 episodes of The Ellen DeGeneres Show, a neutered country is not responsive to those who scream, "We are human, too."

The same screams that Negroes in the south (what we call blacks or African-Americans today) that were echoed by Martin Luther King in February of 1963. But it was not the impassioned-but-peaceful oratory of Dr. King that got Americans to pass the Civil Rights Act of the following year. Not an act of peace, but an act that was marked as one of the most horrendous of that or any other time.

It was Bull Connor and the Dogs of Birmingham...

My question is this.....will it take an act this horrendous to force America to give non-hetrosexuals the same rights as hetros. Would Birmingham have to be played out all over again.?

What no twitter link? C'mon Anna.....Diana would have taken care of that...

Duhhhhhh......

Remember last week when El Rushbo went off on a thesis that Barack Obama made in college....?




Well dig this.....

It must have seemed so perfect. An obscure blogger unearths some pages of
President Obama's college thesis. The report supposedly comes from big-time
journalist Joe
Klein of Time
magazine. And the thesis has some real gems: like Obama's
disdain for the Constitution.

The whole thing was nothing more than a satirical post on a humor
blog. But Rush
Limbaugh, who quoted from the supposed thesis on his radio show, sure wasn't
laughing. Here's how it went down.

An unknown blogger picked up on a made-up post meant as a joke, which
claimed that Joe Klein had gotten his hands on 10 pages of student Obama's
college thesis. Rush Limbaugh jumped on it, which immediately sparked Web
searches on "obama
thesis."

Supposedly titled "Aristocracy Revisited," the excerpt revealed the
president had "doubts" about the "so-called founders." Juicy. Except not true.
Limbaugh discovered halfway through his show that he'd been had, but defended
himself by saying basically the thesis felt true. Listen in to Rush's mea
sorta culpa.

Joe Klein finally jumped in, and called the report "nonsense" on his Swampland
blog, and the blogger who thought the hoax was real also
apologized.

Let's hope someone kept their sense of humor in all this. Still, for a
humble post to go from humor blog to major media outlet sure seems impressive.
Someone ought to write their thesis on it. For real. http://buzz.yahoo.com/buzzlog/93122?fp=1

In other words, Rush Limbaugh showed he DOES have the intellgence to run an NFL team (see Raiders, Lions, TVScreenBiggerThanGodInDallas, Packers[Farve].....)
