I find obscene:
- DUBYA'S INVASION OF IRAQ. He should have been impeached!
- Closed minds.
- Anti-intellectualism.
- News "reporters" who ask no tough questions. (Where are all the investigative journalists?!)
- The amount of money spent on political campaigns.
- Bigotry, especially political and religious "leaders" who foment it.
- Being forced to subsidize it. No tax exemption for hate speech! Tax all religious organizations and their property, television networks, voter guides, etc.
- The family values of those who praise Family Values the loudest.
- Religions that want to run outsiders' lives.
- Religions that encourage murder for acts of free speech.
- Religions that kill for acts of consensual sex.
- Religious bans on contraception for even the poorest families. Let those churches support all those kids!
- Being told my marriage would harm yours.
- The evil, cruelly-named "Defense Of Marriage Act" and now, the Federal Marriage Amendment.
- Our xenophobic and homophobic immigration laws. (Please urge Congress to pass the Uniting American Families Act! See why I care here.)
- Corporate welfare such as:
- Bailouts for firms who let greed overthrow reason
- Congress adding billions to the Defense Dept. appropriations for items the Pentagon doesn't even want
- Century-old mining and grazing fee schedules (See this, too.)
- Political hypocrites
- who want to cut all government except, of course, for corporate welfare.
- who shout "No new taxes!" but don't mind enormous new deficits.
- who bad-mouth bureaucrats but want to regulate my sex life.
- who cry about government spending for social welfare, but can always find more money for war.
- The War on (some) Drugs (and vice laws in general). (For more about the War on Drugs, see this and this and this and this.)
- Thinking that any person's labor could possibly be worth thousands of dollars an hour, every hour, day in and day out. (See this and this, too.)
- That the District of Columbia is not a state.
- The anti-democratic rules of the U.S. Senate.
- The Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. (Reverse the gun control debate: Repeal the blanket right to bear arms, and let those who feel strongly enough fight to grant it in special circumstances.)
- Those who call sex obscene.
- Those who combine sex with violence in any context, including rhetorically.
- The fawning, uncritical, free-ride coverage of the Salvation Army, never mentioning their long-running activism opposing gay civil rights.
(Put this in their kettles!)
If you have some good links to help illustrate these obscenities, please let me know. Thanks!
