Queering the Numbers

     Is there anything more oppressive than a rational number?  Apparently so since all rational and non-transcendental irrational numbers are cis-normative oppressors.

Brainwashing and Sexual Orientation

     Laws banning discrimination against people because of their race are considered legitimate in large part because race was an innate factor that didn’t matter. It protected against discrimination against what you innately were, not your chosen behavior.

     Having sex with someone of the same sex that your were was a chosen behavior because sex is a choice — which is why rape is a crime where mens rea can be established. The repeal of anti-Sodomy laws was based on the claim that homosexual activity was a choice, and not some mental deviancy or disease.

     Later, it was claimed that someone who is homosexual was “born that way” and thus deserving of the same protections as race.

One out of three ain't bad...

     Now, however, with Gay “rights” having been established, the very basis for establishing those rights is being denied by… gays and lesbians. Much like Kohn wishing that her child grows up gay, the entire “born that way” argument is being tossed aside and replaced with a desire that a child “becomes” gay. Another example:

“At ages 10 and 8, my son and daughter don’t have the concept of romantic relationships in their mind yet, but in a few years, I know that I’m going to have to start paying closer attention to their friends, and possibly their dating life. While ultimately it is their choice, I sincerely hope that they see how great of a relationship that my partner and I have and follow in our footsteps.

“My ex-husband does not like the idea at all. Thankfully, my partner Rachel is a lawyer and has helped me win primary custody of our children. Because of this, my children do not have to be constantly barraged by his negative rhetoric dealing with LGBTQ issues, or his negative opinion of my partner and myself.

“I have done what I can to get my children more involved with the pride movement. I feel like the key is to get them brainwashed into seeing same-sex relationships on the same level of heterosexual relationships before they start getting into a relationship themselves. It doesn’t matter if a child cannot naturally be conceived in a same-sex relationship, the concept of biological conception is bigoted in general, and society as a whole needs to move away from such things.”

Lee-Rubio Tax Reform Proposal

     Senators Mike Lee (R-UT) and Marco Rubio (R-FL) have proposed an overhaul of the tax code:

“The proposal would cut the business tax rate to 25 percent (including for all pass-through business income, so that large and small businesses pay the same rate); end the taxation of capital gains, dividends, and interest; allow businesses to deduct capital investments from their taxable income immediately rather than over time; and move to a territorial tax system. The combination of these reforms would bring us closer to a consumption tax base on the business side, and would make for a dramatically more growth-oriented tax system precisely where today’s tax system most obstructs the economy’s performance.

“On the individual side, Lee and Rubio would bring the top rate back to Bush tax cut levels and consolidate today’s tax brackets into two (at 15 percent and that top 35 percent rate), but business income would be taxed at 25 percent and income from savings would not be taxed. They would also repeal the Alternative Minimum Tax and most of the deductions in the code (leaving only the charitable deduction and a capped mortgage interest deduction that would both be available to all taxpayers, not just those who itemize). They would then replace today’s standard deduction with a $2,000 individual ($4,000 per married couple) credit, end the marriage penalty in the tax code, and provide a new $2,500 per child credit (alongside the existing $1,000 credit, which phases out with income) to offset some of the over-taxation of parents in our system—providing very broad-based tax relief, including for families mostly burdened by the payroll tax rather than the income tax since the credit applies against both. “

Is Obama a Dictator?

     Is Obama a dictator?  He has circumvented both the Congress and the Constitution in appropriating funds and trampling on the Bill of Rights.

     But what about Congress… which is supposed to write the law?

     At this point I think we can finally admit that Congress has ceased to be a branch of government.

     At most, they pass enabling acts.

     Obama is a dictator.

Diplomacy with a Regime that has Declared their Intent to Destroy You, Isn’t

     Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke to a joint session of Congress to give fair warning of the intent of Iranian leaders. Unsurprisingly, all the usual suspects threw a hissy-fit. Why did they have a hissy-fit? Because doubting that diplomatic solutions with a regime that had openly declared their intent to commit genocide somehow totes bad!

     The media, of course, were the first to put their feet in their collective mouth:

Coming Out Is A One Way Street

     Now-a-days, a person who “comes out of the closet” as homosexual is lauded as a brave individual!  In contrast someone who has come to the conclusion that they aren’t really Gay is condemned as a monster.  Even the Federal courts have rules that that is totes OK!

     With such hypocrisy established, just image the outrage if the situations were reversed in the following rant by Sally Kohn, a lesbian talking head and blithering idiot, who has recently lamented that her daughter isn’t embracing lesbianism, and in fact is “boy crazy”… while being six years old.

“She said: ‘I’m gay. And I want my kid to be gay, too.'”

     Imagine any celebrity or big name saying this to nodding head rather than pitch-fork wielding mobs!  If anyone declared that “I’m straight.  And I want my kid to be straight, too”, the outrage would be worthy of nationally broadcast rants!

The Beauty of Social Justice

     Saying a person’s worth has nothing to do with their body type is an affirming and nice gesture.  Of course, it also makes you an evil oppressor of the Kyriarchy!!1!

The GOP Must Go Full Brazilian: No Bush

     In 1988, Geroge H. W. Bush promised “No New Taxes”… and was rewarded with the first complete take-over of both the Presidency and Congress since the ’70’s.  His son, George W. Bush, led the ground work to a Democratic domination not seen since the ’70’s with Barack Obama leading a filibuster proof Senate majority and the House.

     It there any doubt that the conservative base of the GOP might be wary of a third Bush?  If Jeb Bush’s speech at CPAC was any indicator, he has a steep climb before he can claim a unified from the right:

     It is clear that the best thing for both conservatism and the Republican party to dissever themselves from the Bush legacy.

     To whit: They must go full Brazilian — No Bush!
