Today, I was left want for things to do, so I started browsing some news sites. I enjoy reading various news sites to see how they talk about the same issue; I find each pages slant on different subject amusing.

I found an article that featured a little group called “Focus on the Family”. Now, I am sure most people out there (at least in the States) have heard of this group and their many escapades. You’ve probably even heard of their illustrious leader and his opines. This is the lovely group that railed against Sponge Bob (we all know that wacky, spongy cartoon is corrupting our youth with his strangely Square Pants), the Girl Scouts and the concept of Tolerance.

Seriously, they went on a tirade against tolerance. The word, the concept, the very practice of it. This boggles my mind. I am a social liberal and I make that fact at least partly obvious. (I am also rather fiscally conservative, but that is neither here nor there.) Anyway, Focus on the Family went on a tirade against tolerance. Apparently those who practice tolerance have no concept of moral right and wrong and are well on the way to accepting evil. Who knew, right?

It truly baffles me that this group went on a tirade against the Girl Scouts for being agents of “radical feminism”. We all know those skirted little misfits are spreading their crazy feministic ideas of independence every time they sell a box of cookies. I know every time I bite into a Thin Mint, I feel like I should go out and burn my brazier. And the Tagalongs make my soul yearn to do something even more radical … like get a job or study science. Those patches they earn that teach those little tykes community service, knot tying, sewing, and *gasp* self esteem are obviously putting perverse ideas into their heads.

Now, I can’t say I like the far left anymore than I like the far right. From what I can tell, both sides have their heads so far up their asses that they can’t see past their own shit. I think these two sides exist simply to prattle on and on with their messages of hate against each other. It’s pointless. Both sides seem to whine, yell and moan about how the other side is ruining the nation. The back and forth of their voices gives me a terrible headache. I just want to scream at the top of my lungs: Shut the Fuck up you fucking gits!
