This is another instance of breaking the Fourth Wall, but we want to share something that happens consistently to us that we’re just incredibly puzzled by, since we don’t see how behavior like this helps in any way to remove the current president and his corrupt party from power.
That’s our goal, see, and it’s something we are putting everything we have into. We put everything we had into stopping Obama from becoming president from 2007-2008 because we knew what he would do to this country. We did everything we could to stop him in the primaries. We put aside all of our preconceptions and personal bad feelings for the Republican Party and started up Democrats for McCain efforts — in Chicago, of all places — to do all we could to stop him from winning the general election. Post-election, we’ve done everything we could to rally as many people out there as possible to thwart his insane plans as much as possible. We do this because we love this country and do not want to see it go backwards — or, worse, to fall into ruin like Greece or other failed European, South American, or African states, the way this president wants the United States to become “just one of 190 countries in the world”. We truly believe this man wants to abdicate America’s, and the West’s, supremacy in the world…which benefits only this country’s enemies, most especially the would-be Global Caliphate of Islam.
So, we’ve put everything on the line to do everything we can every day to defeat Democrats in the coming November elections, always with an eye on making sure Obama does not get a second term in 2012. The Democrat Party needs to be taken down, completely destroyed, with the Earth salted so that Leftists can never again have so much sway over our government.
To say we are pretty committed is an understatement. These efforts have cost us everything, but it’s all worth it if we can help in any way to foil Obama’s plans.
So, considering all of this, it’s head-scratchingly bizarre that we are routinely attacked not just by the Left (which has reason to attack us), but the Right as well.
We’ve told you this before, about threads we read on Redstate and Ace of Spades, where moderators allow anti-gay comments to flourish — and there’s a decision made behind the scenes, clearly, to allow homophobia to run rampant on sites such as these which have a policy of banning people who bring up Birtherism or Trutherism and other things Redstate and Ace have decided they do not want to be associated with. So, when comments that are anti-gay are allowed to stand, while others are purposefully removed because they embarrass those sites, we have no other conclusion to draw other than Redstate and Ace believe homophobia is hilariously funny and something they want to embrace with relish.
It’s the same garbage over at Free Republic as well. Check out this thread, where someone posted a link to the Ann Coulter piece we did a few days ago.
It is almost instantly filled up with the most sophomoric, vile anti-gay jokes and sentiment imaginable.
Thankfully, some commenters scolded those responsible, but there really is a sickness amongst some people who call themselves both “religious” and “conservative”, who enjoy posting pictures with a “fudge-packing” theme.
We’d like to address this for a minute, while also giving some pushback to the apocryphal meme on the Right that enjoys attacking PUMAs and paradoxically blaming us for a McCain defeat in 2008 (when more Democrats voted for McCain than voted for Reagan in 1980…meanwhile, 6 million Republicans sat their sorry butts home because McCain was not “Reagan” enough for them, so they allowed what they claimed would be “Carter II” to become president, insisting he wouldn’t “be that bad”. Jackasses).
First of all, if you, in the year 2010, are making fudge-packing jokes, there’s a 99% chance you are gay yourself and either won’t admit it, are terrified of someone figuring you out, or you are too stupid or too much of an alcoholic to accept your own reality.
Those jokes aren’t funny, guys. Maybe they were before the advent of the internet, television, or even the radio. Maybe they were funny before people could read and write. Heck, there are people out there who think Carrot Top and Cedric the Entertainer are funny, so it’s true there is no accounting for taste. But, posting a picture of a fudge-factory to randomly take a swipe at gay guys — WHO ARE ON YOUR SIDE — is just so pointless and counterproductive.
Just how gay are YOU that you need to seize every possible opportunity to take a smack against someone else who’s gay?
Because we picture you sneaking into your mother’s basement, where you still live, at 42, and gingerly pulling back the old plaid blanket you use as a room divider. You creep behind the curtain and carefully unstack piles of Sports Illustrateds and Playboys you use as camouflage, to reveal hidden plastic milk crates full of all your treasures: the complete collected works of Barbara Streisand on mint-condition vinyl, vintage muscle posing strap catalogs from the 50s, your Charlie Crist for Senate campaign memorabilia, and an admittedly impressive collection of My Little Ponies. You won’t admit to your mother or anyone else that you are secretly gay, and you think nobody on Earth knows about your secret stash. You honestly believe no one suspects the reason you don’t have a girlfriend is that you “just haven’t met the right one yet”, and you think people really buy “it’s the economy, and I’m just saving up for a downpayment on a place” as the reason you still live with your mother. At 42. In her basement. While playing with dolls.
So, of course, to deflect attention off yourself, you seize every opportunity available to you to “rag on dem fags”. Hence, your fudge-packing photos.
What a clear sign of projection.
Which also ties into the weird attacks on PUMAs that still turn up on sites like Free Republic.
John McCain would be president today if 6 million Republicans hadn’t sat their sorry butts home on Election Day 2008, “to teach the GOP a lesson”. It’s as simple as that, folks. He lost states by the slimmest of margins because Republicans did not give him the support they gave to George W. Bush in 2004. Meanwhile, more Democrats crossed the aisle and voted for McCain/Palin than ever before in history. There were more Democrats for McCain/Palin than there were Reagan Democrats in 1980. We at HillBuzz are not anomalous. In every state where we have friends and family, people who voted Democrat blindly their entire lives pulled the lever for McCain/Palin and thus cast a Republican ballot for the first time ever. It was an immense culture shock to do so — like an all expenses paid sojourn to BizarroWorld in many cases, but we did it.
George Soros and the others behind the September financial meltdown gave Obama a lock on the election — when coupled with those 6 million conservatives who sat on the couches, in their diapers, and refused to vote for McCain. That is established fact.
Obama did not win, as the MSM loves to insist, because of an overwhelming surge of black, college-age, and first time immigrant voters that will guarantee Democrats a permanent majority forever. That is Orwellian propaganda from the Ministry of Truth, aka, our agenda-driven national media. Obama won because conservatives let him win. Conservatives dropped the ball and sat their sorry butts home.
You can continue to bizarrely attack Democrats who crossed the aisle to vote for McCain all you want, but you look insane doing it. Your argument is untenable and ridiculous, and goes something like: ”It’s all those PUMAs fault. There weren’t enough of them to make up for the 6 million conservatives who didn’t vote, so I hate PUMAs and gays are all fudge-packers and uh, Ma, I’m on the Internet, leave me alone, NO! I don’t want any more Fruit Roll-Ups. GEEEEESH!”.
You are a closeted gay male who is self-hated, so you project this by posting “fudge-packing” photos attacking gays.
You are a loser conservative who sat his ass home in 2008 “to teach the GOP a lesson” and now realize how mentally ill you were, so you project the contempt you feel for your self and your incredibly poor decisions on Democrats like us who did everything we could — at immense persona cost — to stop Obama from becoming president and destroying this country.
What did you do in the 2008 campaign to help Republicans win? We bet you sat your ass on the couch, or maybe you spent your time on message boards telling other conservatives they should stay home on election day “to teach the GOP a lesson”. That’s been your ridiculous, pathetic little mantra for umpteen years now. And yet, you have no idea how intensely foolish you are…because the DNC is what’s always been encouraging that garbage. It only helps the Left to think that way, or to do off on one of your insane third-party Libertarian jags. ”Keep it up”, the DNC cheers, “this is how we keep winning elections when only 20% of the country is Liberal, but damn near 60% of the conservative base is foolish enough to fall for this amateur hour garbage!”.
We’d like to see a day when Redstate, Ace of Spade, Free Republic, and other conservative sites wise up and start policing their comments and content for anti-gay attacks, the same as they moderate for racist jabs. We’re 100% positive posters would be banned for making racial jokes, using the “n-word”, and posting images relating to anti-black stereotypes. The fudge-packing tripe was acceptable to sites like this, but we’re sure pictures of watermelon eating contests or lynchings would be verboten. As they should be.
The real irony in all of this is just how much damage conservatives do to themselves by attacking gays — and they don’t even realize it.
Lesbians, in particular, are naturally conservative, but the Right doesn’t realize this. Ever go shopping with a lesbian? It’s an all-day, sometimes all-week process, to find the best deal on something. Lesbians will drive hours out of their way to save $10 on something, if they calculate the gas mileage and wear on the car comes out to $7.00 or less for the trip, if they net a $1.50 savings at least on that item, they are buying it clear across town. They are like this with everything. It’s amazing. They honestly should be Republicans — every last one of them, from Ellen down to Rosie with every lesbian in between. Republicans one and all.
The reason they aren’t Republicans is because they don’t feel welcome in the GOP, because of the very loud and vocal anti-gay contingent, particularly those that call themselves “religious”. So, women who should be voting their economic best interests…who should not be paying enormous taxes as property owners to fund the graft and corruption that benefits only the black community and other Democrat pet voting blocs (because, face it, the DNC does not send any money to lesbians, and does not fund any largesse in the LGBTQ community…which is an island left to fend for itself at all times)…consistently vote Democrat because they don’t really have another option.
People making those fudge-packing, anti-gay remarks take that option away from them.
The same is true for gay men, but they are not as sensible and financially savvy as lesbians. Gay men don’t care what happens to their money, by and large, and often spend their entire paychecks the weekend of pay day. We wish that wasn’t true, but it is. So, before they can vote in their economic best interests they need a better handle on economics in general. What keeps them voting Democrat is the fact that Redstate, Ace of Spades, Free Republic, and other sites keep reinforcing all the boogeyman stereotypes the Left puts out about Republicans. 99% of gay men believe everything they hear Anderson Cooper or Keith Olbermann say on TV. ”Republicans are evil, Brenden, I heard it from some guy who saw it on TV.” ”Oh, I know, Brenden #2, they are so evil. I heard from someone who said he was told by the guy at the Starbucks, you know, the really cute one, that those religious people hate us and make those fudge-packer jokes, and so I just hate them back and anyone who is gay that votes Republican is a Jewish Nazi”. ”Oh, Brenden, that’s totally deep.” ”I know, right, Coop said it the other day, and he’s just totally dreamy”.
We wish we were kidding. That’s practically an actual conversation in Boystown.
Gay men don’t stop to think about how much voting Republican would benefit them, because the Left has effectively prevented them from ever considering the option by promoting the meme that gay men voting GOP are “Jewish Nazis”…and are only giving support to the ignorant, bigoted, loudmouth, “religious” idiots like those posting that fudge-packing photo.
So, every time a conservative lets one of these people get away with that garbage — and every time Redstate, Ace, or Free Republic allows a photo like that to be displayed and an attitude like that to stand — you are only helping the Left.
We could write 25,000 more words on the subject, and we still won’t be able to come up with any way to get that to sink in for those of you out there who are either too stupid or too blind to realize this — BUT YOU ARE CONSISTENTLY ALIENATING NATURAL ALLIES WHEN YOU ALLOW HOMOPHOBIA TO STAND UNCHALLENGED IN CONSERVATIVE RANKS.
2008 proved, definitively, that a few votes here and there make all the difference in the world.
We all know nothing will ever magically increase the intelligence of conservative voters who choose to sit home and let someone like Obama win, because they want “to teach the GOP a lesson”. These people have serious mental problems if they really believe that’s what they are accomplishing. You might as well just consider those fools to be Democrat votes all along.
BUT, we truly believe in 10-15 years a sizable portion of the LGBTQ vote could indeed be going to the GOP — if only these ignorant bigots would stop handing these votes to the Left by encouraging and promoting the stereotypical hate the Left uses to paint conservatives as boogeymen.
There is truly no reason on Earth for a conservative to ever attack us here at HillBuzz.
If your goal is to stop Obama, then we are on your side.
If your goal is to defeat every Democrat in office currently, then we are on your side.
If your goal is to see Sarah Palin in the White House, then we are on your side.
If you’re one of those khaki pants and blue blazer little Romney punks, then we’re kind of your worst nightmare because we’re going to make sure he, Tim Pawlenty, Mitch Daniels, and other cucumbers-and-mayonnaise bland losers do NOT get the GOP nomination.
But, if you’re a firebrand, take-no-prisoners, in-your-face, boot-the-socialists-from-office conservative, then we hope you have sense enough to accept an ally that’s not only ready and willing to fight to the end — but who is battle-tested, field-trained, and runs a daily operation with readership in the tens of thousands and is laser-focused on defeating the absolute worst president this nation has ever had.
Attacking us is counter productive.
We understand the hits we take from the Left on a daily basis — clearly, we are effective on some level, or they would just leave us alone and ignore us. The fact we’re such a high target for them must mean we’re doing something right.
So, it makes no sense for the Right to take punches at us too.
We really wish those of you out there who frequent Redstate, Ace, and Free Republic would put a stop to that garbage. Trolls can indeed be banned. They should be banned.
If your goal is to win in 2010 and in 2012, we just can’t see the logic in alienating any allies…and, longterm, we just don’t understand why you want to keep throwing away the LGBTQ vote when the only thing you have to do to start winning it is to just stop the sophomoric hate and insipid anti-gay jokes.
That’s it.
Cut that crap out, initiate zero tolerance policies towards it, and win more elections.
It is that simple, folks.
Dominance, not tolerance, is their goal. I used to be very tolerant. That was in the 70s and early 80s. They gave me the creeps a bit but I was very live and let live.
Then I learned what they were really up to, and what they really did.
The more information is made public that they can change, and there are organizations to help them, the better.
I'd really rather people keep their sexual habits to themselves but lets be really honest here...there are a number of gays who want to put it literally in your face...no thanks!
Why are you making equivalence between race - born with it, neutral - to sexual perversion - not born with it, a behavior which is malignant?
I have a good friend who is black who is very offended at this comparison.
If a homosexual attends a Tea Party event and is not wearing “Gay Pride” attire, and acts normal, and has no sign about sexual perversion, no one would know or care.
And that’s fine.
It had that smell about it.
I say go easy on the gays.
They’re the “canaries in the coal mine” when it comes to dirty moslems chopping everyone’s heads off.
They should organize against sharia/jihad/islam, and make all sorts of noise. Why they’re not is anyone’s guess.
The dirty moslems plan to kill gays/Jews first, then Christians, then everybody else. And if those schedules overlap, the smelly moslems don’t mind.
PS: It’s a fact that many moslems are repressed (or not so repressed) homosexuals. Maybe the gays can unlock that anger and turn it into impulses to redecorate and make music. I’m not kidding here. Somebody needs to redirect gay moslem rage into non-violent avenues.
I got no beef w/the Hillbuzzers. We all have the same goal.....getting rid of El presidente. They have their methods, we have ours. They should just ignore the crudeness and do their thing against Obama and we’ll do ours.
And I’ll add this....
My only problem with the gay agenda is they’re trying to indoctrinate schoolkids with their worldview. On the taxpayer dime.
This is not OK.
You are correct. Very few live to see their 50th birthday. They also average nine “Partners” a year and most, if not all, are pedophiles, a charge that they vehemently deny.
I’m making the comparison between two groups who a minority of which is willing to vote for conservatives. Hell they even know that Romney is a RINO! That’s more perceptive than a lot of “straight” conservatives on FR! I’m not making any judgement about those groups except to recognize that certain members of those groups identify philosophically with the conservative cause, and I am saying that it doesn’t make sense to me to hold them accountable for other members of those groups who for whatever reason, do not align philosophically with conservatives.
If some part of the group has seen the light, and has decided to start voting in a way that all people should vote, based on a basic grasp of reality, then the first thing we should do is congratulate those few people who got it right. Instead our attitude seems to be: “Damn are you gay? Why don’t you go and convert more of your group whose obviously got it wrong. I GUESS I’ll let you vote conservative.”
That’s kind of dumb. Maybe some positive reinforcement is in order here. It doesn’t mean you have to jump up and down and say you love gay Republicans. You don’t have to give positive reinforcement to their lifestyle. All the poster was saying is, you don’t have to actively attack and ridicule it.
Hell its a breakthrough that some gays understand that liberalism is lunacy. We should be big enough people to congratulate them on getting that right. Instead we are blaming them for the sins of their “brethren.” My guess is that those brave gay Republicans don’t see a bunch of liberals, gay or straight as their “brethren” any more than any other minority group sees the left wing members of that minority group as their “brethren.” My guess is they hate them as much or more than any “straight” conservative.
ZOTOPHOBIA
I agree. Freepers should stop posting the image below:
To compare black people to homosexuals is odious on its face. Homosexuals are not a “minority” group. It is a dysfunction that some people suffer from and some people get cured/healed from it.
Second, if a homosexual is a conservative, great. But why should there be a big deal made of it? Should they have special ribbons or badges or should I make them a cake?
If they’re conservative, most likely no one will KNOW that they are a homosexual! And that’s the way it should be. PLus, very few homosexuals speak out against the agenda, which is evidence that very few of them are opposed to the agenda. I do not hate homosexuals, I’m sorry for them and I wish they’d seek help or change. But I do hate the homosexual agenda which is completely destructive in every way.
There's yer trouble!
I always find it interesting that these nitwits can never say what they mean in 500 words or so. Why does it take them so MANY words to get their point across???? (if they HAVE a point, that is)
I have absolutely no problem with gay conservatives. They are on OUR side for heaven’s sake. We should welcome them. Reagan once said that if a group he would normally disagree with politically supported him it meant that they were joining HIS cause, not the other way around.
If you want to get into some kind of debate about whether the two groups are some how equivalent categories or not equivalent categories I’m not going to debate that because I don’t disagree with the statement that they are not equivalent categories. However, black people are a group. Homosexuals are a group. Those two statements are simple statements of fact. Both of those groups have a small percentage that votes Republican. That is also a fact. I’m not making a statement for or against if the groups are equivalent groups. All I’m saying is it doesn’t make sense to alienate the small part of the group that is not confused and not fooled by leftist garbage. Those right-thinking members of those groups are our philosophical “brethren.” It is not necessary to determine whether or not the two groups are equivalent types of groups to say that in both groups, we should be encouraging those who are getting it right. If you want to call that odious, then ok you think its odious. I think it’s well-reasoned and obvious.
Moving to your “big deal” point. There shouldn’t be a big deal made of it. There should be no deal made of it. In addition, it shouldn’t be ok to attack and ridicule them. In a way, that’s making a “big deal” too, isn’t it?
Moving to your don’t ask don’t tell point. If they are conservative and they are gay, it does not follow that no one will know. Does no one know that you are straight? There’s no way to know if someone will know or not. The point is, if someone does know, they should be judged by the strength of their ideas, not the sex of the person they sleep with. It’s so much less important who they sleep with than the ideas by which our country is governed.
As for the homosexual agenda, I think this should be thought about in two parts: that which a person chooses for themselves and that which a person chooses for another person. To the extent that the homosexual agenda makes choices for others, then it should be treated like all threats to liberty, not because its a homosexual threat to liberty, but because it is a threat to liberty.
If you get your liberty taken away, its not going to be a better loss of liberty because it was taken from you by communists than by homosexuals. So I think we should live and let live, when it comes to letting someone choose who they decide to have sex with. If the homosexual agenda seeks to impose itself on others, then it should be opposed. If others try to force homosexuals into their own view of they way things should be with regard to their personal choice of who they want to be intimate with, then that should be opposed. I don’t think any of us would want someone telling us who we could and could not choose as a mate. It’s a question of liberty.
