She’s still got it…
And it’s only Monday!
Once again, good ol’ Christianist “Family Values” on display for all to see…
From Joe. My. God.:
Yesterday, Father’s Day, former pro wrestler and current Florida politician Brian Blair, who campaigned against the Day Of Silence, silenced his two children by beating and choking them.
Blair, 52, was arrested shortly after 5 a.m. after an altercation at his family’s home in the Forest Hills area of Tampa, sheriff’s Deputy Larry McKinnon said. Blair and his wife, Toni, have two sons, Brett and Bradley, according to his campaign Web site. Blair, a former professional wrestler who is 6 feet tall and weighs 235 pounds, pushed his older son Brett, 17, in the chest about 4 a.m., according to an arrest report. The teen tried to walk away, but Blair grabbed him and punched him in the face with a closed fist, leaving a red mark and swelling, the arrest report said. Blair then put the 17-year-old in a choke hold, causing him to have trouble breathing, according to the report. Deputies said Blair then let go of his older son and grabbed his younger son by the throat. He punched the boy, leaving a bump on his head, the arrest report said. In the report, a deputy gave the younger son’s age as 12, though Blair’s campaign Web site said he is 13. Both sons identified their father as the person who attacked them, deputies said.
In addition to promoting the bullying of gay students, Blair endorsed Florida’s ban on same-sex marriage and voted to ban recognition of gay Pride events. Blair doesn’t want homos to impose their “social and sexual agenda upon the rest of us and especially, on our children.” But he’s clearly OK with imposing his hands around the throats of his own kids.
“I’ve been kind of burned out on blogging. This is because as a matter of sober, considered, logical analysis, I don’t think our nation is even remotely capable of sensibly grappling with the long-term, medium-term, or short-term challenges of global climate change, health care, economic calamity, endemic poverty, or, hell, anything. I think we’re all going to die of stupidity.” – Thers at Whiskey Fire
Looks fun!
Seriously? Can someone please point out how he’s doing anything differently than the previous administration?
Oh yeah, he proclaimed June as gay pride month. Wow. And yesterday he threw one of those dry, cracked bones that dogs leave out in the yard to his gay constituency by giving some limited, temporary rights to gay federal employees. Excuse me, but BIG. FUCKING. DEAL.
Our troops are still in Iraq. Obama defended kidnapping, torture, and indefinite imprisonment. Obama expanded the illegal war into Afghanistan and Pakistan. Guantanamo is still open as are the other torture camps, but even if he closes Gitmo he is just sending the prisoners elsewhere. Obama helped give over $780 billion in taxpayer money to corrupt Wall Street corporations. Obama lobbied the Supreme Court to reverse it’s decision allowing defendants the right to have an attorney present during questioning. Obama continued FISA. Obama nominated a 6th catholic to the 9 member Supreme Court which paves the way to overturning Roe v. Wade. Obama increased the faith based initiative which gives our tax revenue to churches. And let’s not even get started on gay issues: DOMA, ENDA, DADT.
You might think he needs more time but I sure don’t. And for the first time since this “fierce advocate” took office, I am once again flipping off the President of the United States whenever he appears on television.
