In an earlier post I wrote Senator John McCain lamenting the fact that he had abandoned all of the qualities that had set him apart from other politicians and earned him the name Maverick. Well today, Crooks and Liars has a clip from today’s Meet the Press that just confirms my point. I guess I had to actually see the Senator in action before I could really be at peace with his complete transformation. I can now move on. Any admiration I had for him is just a memory now. He will never, ever get my vote. Wow, I never thought that someone like John McCain would jump in bed with the likes of Jerry Falwell, but alas he has, and alas I say good bye.
I seethe NOT because my son is gay. I seethe because he lives in a country in which some elected officials find it politically advantageous to deny him dignity, basic rights, and protections. I seethe because there are people who preach hatred and discrimination towards gays yet claim to be "good" and "loving" Christians. I seethe because there are groups who claim to be "advocates" for the family but who work to do great harm to any family that doesn’t fit their narrow template for “normal”.
