Jim James - “Bermuda Highway”

8.2.08 - Newport Folk Festival, Newport, Rhode Island

My Morning Jacket’s front man plays one of the band’s older (and best) tunes at the Newport Folk Festival.  M. Ward also joined Jim for a few songs during the performance, which was recorded by NPR, and available through their podcast.

One of my favorite songs.  For the dreamers.

Every once in awhile I come across something so intellectually disgusting that I can’t help but just read it in order to make myself cringe at the thought of people actually being so ignorant.  This is definitely one of those reads.

Some of the highlights:

• The most far-reaching transformation of American society came from the Supreme Court’s stunning affirmation, in early 2010, that homosexual “marriage” was a “constitutional” right that had to be respected by all 50 states because laws barring same-sex “marriage” violated the Equal Protection clause of the U.S. Constitution. Suddenly, homosexual “marriage” was the law of the land in all 50 states, and no state legislature, no state Supreme Court, no state Constitutional amendment, not even Congress, had any power to change it. The Supreme Court had ruled, and the discussion was over.
• The Boy Scouts no longer exist as an organization. They chose to disband rather than be forced to obey the Supreme Court decision that they would have to hire homosexual scoutmasters and allow them to sleep in tents with young boys.
• Elementary schools now include compulsory training in varieties of gender identity in Grade 1, including the goodness of homosexuality as one possible personal choice. Many parents tried to “opt out” their children from such sessions, but the courts have ruled they cannot do this, noting that education experts in the government have decided that such training is essential to children’s psychological health.
• All businesses that have government contracts at the national, state or local level now have to provide documentation of equal benefits for same-sex couples.
• It’s almost impossible to keep children from seeing pornography. The Supreme Court in 2011 nullified all Federal Communications Commission restrictions on obscene speech or visual content in radio and television broadcasts.
• “The land of the free”? It is illegal for private citizens to own guns for selfdefense in eight states, and the number is growing with increasing Democratic control of state legislatures and governorships.
• “The land of the free”? Parents’ freedom to teach their children at home has been severely restricted. The Supreme Court, to the delight of the National Education Association, followed the legal reasoning of a February 28, 2008, ruling in Re: Rachel L by the 2nd District Court of Appeal in California (although that ruling was later reversed).
• Since 2009, terrorist bombs have exploded in two large and two small U.S. cities, killing hundreds, and the entire country is fearful, for no place seems safe. President Obama in each case has vowed “to pursue and arrest and prosecute those responsible,” but no arrests have been made.
• The first test came from Russia. In early 2009, they followed the pattern they had begun in Georgia in 2008 and sent troops to occupy and re-take several Eastern European countries, starting with the Ukraine, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. Then in the next three years, Russia occupied additional countries that had been previous Soviet satellite nations, including Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Bulgaria, with no military response from the U.S. or the U.N.

According to Dobson, Obama will pave the way to a liberal Supreme Court that will overrule “originalists” 6-3 by 2012, and this court will take another 30-40 years to change.  And due to the court, our children will become homos, or think it’s okay if you’re gay, and shit, they might even stumble upon porn!

While your kids are learning from the government that it’s okay to be a perv, terrorists will be bombing cities across America while Russia claims most, if not all, of Eastern Europe.  Shit, I didn’t even cover how his health care is going to ruin our country, taxes are going to skyrocket, and he’s going to prosecute the best administration in our country’s history: that of George W. Bush!

I’m thankful we live in a country where even idiots like Mr. Dobson have the right to freely distribute propaganda like this (and I’m not being sarcastic, I’m sincere).
