Being Gay, Natch, Is Not Always Healthy for Politicians

OObserving the antics of the serially wronged wrist-watchers from the gay community, from the Friends of All Darned Gays community and from the Friends of the Friends of All Darned Gays community is like driving over to the zoo and parking in front of the monkey cage.

They are funny, but, unless you are cursed with vapidity, how long can you giggle?

If there is a distinction between the reactions of supposedly offended Democrats and monkeys, it has eluded me.

As every Californian knows except the bribed students forced by their teachers to submit to Manipulation Day last week, Republican state Sen. Roy Ashburn of Bakersfield has publicly announced — oh, the pusillanimous shame of it all — that he is gay.

Whether you are a liberal or a serious person, you know the drill when the Gotcha Boys in the dominant left-wing media make a discovery on the Christopher Columbus level that a Republican politician — “For land’s sakes, Martha. In all of your born days, have you ever heard of such a disgrace?” — is gay.

How Will They Act Dec. 11, 2087?

Chronically starved for self-esteem, liberals are like ex-wives, humble slaves to predictability. When they need to feign surprise, they eschew a measured, intelligent response for one that is rife with ridicule.

Democrats have devoted their otherwise empty lives to convincing us clod-walking, joy-deprived conservative peasants that being gifted with a gay gene is a treasured asset, surpassing even the most precious attainment in the traditional world.

What is the evidence that this reaction is a ginned-up left-wing fabrication? When Republicans are revealed as gay, Democrats, like 4-year-olds at a birthday party, make fun of him. Four years ago when Republican Congressman Mark Foley of Florida — previously unknown to non-relatives — was found to be gay, the Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, the Washington Post daily lampooned him on Page 1. When, ahem, Democratic former Congressman Eric Massa of New York played games this week about being gay, the same failing newspapers confidentially advised readers, “Psssst, look the other way.”

I digress. Hastily, we must return to the previously anonymous Mr. Ashburn, whom the august Los Angeles Times, the Sacramento Bee and the Fresno Bee determined in editorials yesterday and this morning to be a horrid, disgusting, implacable low life who should be penalized — if not castrated at least twice — for the double unforgivable gaffes of being gay and Republican. I could not find a righteous editorial by Mr. Ashburn’s hometown newspaper, the Bakersfield Californian.

Make a Discriminating Choice

Need I repeat? No mature purveyor of news should rely for accurate information and reflective perspectives mainly, much less solely, on the journalistic dilettantes who ply their tarnished trade at the aforementioned newspapers.

The editorials at the three newspapers could have been written by the same starry-eyed dreamer who believes gays are junior messiahs waiting in the wings while us slugs lead the league in unenlightenment.

It can be difficult to carry on a mature conversation with liberals because rhetorical subtleties zing by them. Nuances to them are tantamount to serving a sizzling 5-pound New York steak to a discriminating vegan.

The sassy, perhaps even sissy, boys at the Sac Bee, the Fresno Bee and Pravda by the Pacific cannot understand how Mr. Ashburn, 55 years old and the divorced father of four, could have led such a disingenuous political life, being gay in private and voting against gay “rights” in public. Because, boys, he was reflecting the will of his constituents, which, possibly, is why he was elected.

Often such complex reasoning is a foreign concept to liberal gays, blacks and browns. They believe skin color and sexual orientation rather than common sense should govern how one votes. They boastfully portray themselves as victims, hoping to neutralize the charge they lack mental nimbility. Every morning, they bathe luxuriously in the hateful but so-soothing waters of victimhood.

Honesty and integrity are honorable principles in as short supply on the left side of the aisle as a sense of humor. Ever known a gay man who could laugh at himself?

Cluelessly, these activists ask, how can you be gay and vote against “gay rights” or “human rights”?

Sadly, they pose the question seriously. Incapable of humor, every step of life is a somber undertaking for these dreary drones.

Take the foppish Geoffie (Boy, Am I Mad) Kors, Chief Executive Huffer and Puffer for “Equality California,” a gay “rights” group.

You may agree that radical gays — along with radical black and brown activists — have thought up a whole symphony of “rights” in recent years to drum-beat for the benefit of vulnerable, commonly left wing, state legislators.

Were it not such a profound breach of rudimentary character, it would be laughable that blacks think President Obama owes deathless loyalty to them because they accidentally share skin color. I have news for such incivil boobs: Hitler and I shared skin color. Make something of that, boys. I have encouraging news for these humorless Hugenots. Angelina and I also share the same skin color.

With sound education so widely available, it is marginally unbelievable that practitioners of the gay lifestyle believe that all members of their community should stand in unanimity on their largely fictional list of deprived gay rights.

Some readers know that two of my young sons are gay. One has suffered horrible, and so far unabated, pain because he is gay. But you cannot force people to respect my son because he is gay.

The immutable doctrine of gay, black and brown racist unanimity is as nutty of a concept as another legal liberal embarrassment, “hate crimes.”

“Hate crimes” sounds like a stunt thought up for “Saturday Night Live,” which liberal gays, blacks and browns don’t watch because it requires laughing.

How can you say “hate crimes” with a straight face. Here is a nice, cuddly killer. But over there, oh, my, that fellow is a hateful killer.

Aren’t liberals beautiful?

Boy, Am I Mad, the gay puppeteer previously introduced, told the Bakersfield Californian that the demonized Mr. Ashburn has voted on the “wrong side” of between 30 and 40 “gay rights”-related bills.

What a small, convenient world this little man sadly inhabits.
