Homophobia Rife in KAP

Bernard Gaynor, a senate nominee representing Bob Katter's "Katter's Australia Party", yesterday tweeted. "I wouldn't let a gay teach my kids."  

In a spectacularly ballsy (sorry) move, Gaynor effectively committed political suicide. Which is pretty impressive considering an election hasn't been called yet, and Gaynor isn't even a senator yet, and most political hopefuls wait until they have POWER before putting their foot in their mouth. 

But the hilariously named Gaynor just can't seem to wait to express his paranoid and unjustified views. 
    
People like Gaynor hold these incredibly backward views because they want to shield their children from a lifestyle that they consider sinful and full of vice. 

But, by refusing to let gays teach their kids, parents like Gaynor are unintentionally exposing their children to the things that they intended to shield them from. 

Think about it. Most children before the age of 12 know "gay" only as an insult or an exclamation of disapproval or displeasure. As in: this homework is gay. 

Most 8 year olds aren't thinking, "I wonder what Mr. Green does in his bedroom. Is there a misses Green? Does he like Abba? I wonder where he's stuck his penis?"  

Most 8 year olds are thinking about whose turn it is to be batman; and how many more girls they can sit next to before girl germs reaches epidemic proportions. 

The one thing 8 year olds are not thinking of is whether their maths teacher fantasizes about George Michael and hot tubs. 

And as much as sick, backward, juvenile, dangerous lunatics like Gaynor like to say they are only trying to protect their children, the fact is, they are unwittingly, and ironically, drawing attention to an issue that they wish to hide their children from. 

As I sarcastically commented to Mr. Gaynor on Twitter, "when your kids are learning their times tables, the sexual lifestyle of their maths teacher is SO important." 

  

    

Little Book? So, Piers, You Want to Talk About Little?

Piers Morgan, like many who share his view on guns, doesn't like silly facts getting in the way of emotion and sensationalism. 

Morgan calls for a ban on assault weapons because the last 4 mass shootings in America involved those particular firearms. When Ben Shapiro pointed out that most gun murders in America are with handguns (many of those murders gang related) Morgan continues his inane tirade against assault weapons. 

For crying out loud, Piers. It is numbers, percentages that tell the truth about the severity of a particular problem. The fact that the last 4 mass shootings in America have involved assault weapons is irrelevent. Most gun crime is committed by crooks with your typical, run of the mill handgun. 

I also found Morgan's dismissal of the "tyranny" argument as quite naive and dangerous. Morgan, like many who want us to place all our faith in government, makes the mistake of thinking politicians will always do right by the people; that they will never abuse their powers. 

There's a good little lamb.

Member of Congress Says Obama Should Bypass Congress

Seems not even the White House believes the President can use the 14th Amendment to raise the debt ceiling. Thank God, America, Nancy Pelosi isn't your president.
