Yes, I Am Offended

It seems like every time I turn around, someone is doing their level best to piss me off.

First, it was the Greenpeace ad with the mouthy kid in the hoodie telling adults off because those of us with jobs aren't willing to plunge into a new dark ages to minimize the effects of global warming. All the hallmarks that I would fully expect from this crowd: Sneering self-righteousness, an unquestioning acceptance of dubious science, and unmistakable contempt for anyone who has the termerity to question the neo-religion of enviro-nuticism.

Then, it was finding out that our loverly state legislature is working on a law regarding a new sex ed cirriculum, written by lesbians, that would be taught to first-graders. They are trying to take away my son's innocence and force-feed him their agenda at the same time. Words cannot do justice to this white-hot rage boiling up from those primal places in me that these 'legislators' do not want to have come to the surface. My State Senator will be receiving a call from me about this, and will continue to receive calls from me until they actually work on legislation that is necessary. All the things that don't f'in work in the schools here, and they are wasting time on this. The continued sexualization of children will no doubt leave all the perverts in our society pleased. There will be no shortage of targets for these predators to exploit, and if anyone tries to speak out against this despicable trend, they are immediately branded "intolerant", and treated as if the inablility to be accepting of their perversion is in itself a dread disease that is contagious. Enough. You want to bugger children, to screw em up as bad as you are? Then be ready for my lack of acceptance of your perversion.

The Senate Bill Report on this bill was certainly enlightening:

From the Pro paragraph:
"While parents are primarily responsible for providing their children sex education, it is a difficult issue and most parents are in favor of schools teaching comprehensive sex education"

Oh really? I guess that must be true. You have done such an outstanding job teaching them the things that you are supposed to teach them. We know what this is really about: Control. If we indocrinate them while they're young, we can have the age of consent lowered to six in a generation. NAMBLA paradise, and entire generation of wasted youth in its wake. No thank you.

From the Con paragraph:
"Parents and local school districts need to have control over cirriculum...Sex education may impose values contrary to families' values.

Duhhh.

"Comprehensive sex education sends students mixed messages and does not prevent students from having sex."

Amen.

And then, while watching TV this afternoon, I got treated to an AARP ad with children lecturing me about how we can do better on things like health care. Memo to old folks: Before you retired and lost your minds, you resented wealth-redistribution schemes because they were a treat to the work that you had done in providing for yourselves and your families. This hasn't changed. Those of us still working still see this as a threat. Another thing about services that you seem to have forgotten: They are worth what you pay for them. You don't want free health care. You really don't. So dip into your savings already, and leave the assistance for those not sitting on large nest eggs, or transferring wealth to their children to qualify for Medicaid spend-downs.

And the Mexicans are now pissed and alleging that we have intruded onto their soil while building a wall to keep them out? This would be comical if our 'diplomats' weren't so quick with their attempt to smooth things over. Real border control is an idea whose time has come, and given that the stakes are our way of life, I suggest that we act accordingly.
