Rick Perry, who is not gay nor has he ever made whoopie with another man, had some strong statements yesterday about  those of us who believe in human rights.

Rick says we’re intolerant.  Of his religious beliefs.

Think about that and try not to get dizzy.

Perry went on to suggest that the decision by LGBT rights advocates to fight for equal treatment was proof that they were themselves intolerant.

“The underlying problem is that there is this very vocal, very litigious minority of Americans willing to legally attack anybody who dares utter a phrase or even a name that they don’t agree with,” he said. “In a twisting of logic, they insist on silencing the religious in the cause of tolerance. Now I ask you, where is the tolerance in that?”

Perry, who is not now nor has ever been gay, says that what happens in your bedroom with the door closed insults his religion.  Well, drinking alcohol insults Verdelia’s Baptist religion so all y’all have got to stop drinking it.  Even in Minnesota and Delaware and places like that  because Verdelia wants you to be tolerant of her beliefs all over the damn place.

But Rick Perry, who has never even touched or unnecessarily smelled a gay person, thinks we’re the intolerant ones for not respecting his wild and crazy religious beliefs.  Is Rick really saying that if he doesn’t have Seder, he’s intolerant of Jews?  Hell, even the Scientologists don’t whine when I say their wild and crazy beliefs are wild and crazy.

Rick Perry, who never even thinks about gay stuff, is deeply offended by your civil rights crapola.

So if you’re going to do something gay, don’t tell him.  He already knows it all.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.

Texas congressmunchkin and Super DeLux Brand Chrisitan Louie Gohmert got mouthy with the United States of Damn America Park Police.  He pulled rank and sassed an officer of the law.

Shortly after 11 p.m. on March 13, officers wrote Rep. Louie Gohmert a citation for parking his black Ford SUV in a spot reserved for National Park Service vehicles, according to a Park Police report obtained by POLITICO.

But Gohmert wasn’t having it: He told the Park Police that his congressional parking placard allows him to park in that spot, and he’s on the committee that oversees the agency.

Gohmert took the ticket off his windshield and placed it on a police car along with his business card with a written message: “Oversight of Park Service is my job! Natural Resources Thus the Congressional Plate in window.”

He was “rude and irate,” one officer reported. Another wrote that Gohmert was “ranting.”

Now, I gotta defend Louie here.  Ranting is his usual tone of voice.  He rants, “Good morning,” and he rants “was it good for you?”  Louie is a first class ranter.

Remember when Tom DeLay declared to a waiter asking him not to smoke his cigar in a restaurant because the federal government had a law against it and Tom replied, “I am the federal government.”   That makes Louie a national park.  Can we plant a tree on his head because it ain’t doin’ much else?

When your congressman acts in a manner that you swat your fifteen year old for doing, then it’s time that public servant comes home.   With his tail between his legs.  He’s become a little too big for his britches.

Thanks to Lorraine in Spring for the heads up.

I take comfort in knowing that there are crazy paranoid ignorant folks in foreign states so that occasionally Texas doesn’t stand out at Dumb Day.

Tennessee is doing it’s part.  They just remodeled the state capitol and some Tennessee lawmakers were outraged, just outraged, that there was a Muslim footwashing sink, for Muslims to wash their feet before prayers, installed in a closet of the Tennessee state capitol.

Look at it!

Yeah, it’s a mop sink.  It’s where janitors fill the mop buckets.

(Heavy sigh.)  I wanted to tell them that it’s a gay baptismal font.

But thanks anyway, Tennessee for making Texas look less crazy on the Republican scale.  By the way, we could loan you Ted Cruz to find communist in your capitol.  He’s real good at that.

Thanks to Stephen for the heads up.

According to Micheal Li, Lt. Governor David Dewhurst spoke  to anti-marriage equality rally in Austin today and said: “Texas will turn blue over my dead body.”

I wonder, is that a threat or a challenge?

Thanks to Michael for the heads up.

No jacking around about this.

I am serous.

Rush Limbaugh announced that lesbians are “obese substance abusers.”

You know, like this:

“And, of course, the answers to the first case is they don’t have to deal with men, so they don’t have to worry about their appearance. They’re not trying to please men. So they can be obese. It’s no big deal. Alcohol, who knows? They’re having to deal with women so they’re drunk.”

The dude is totally lacking in introspection.

Silly me, I thought we resolved this equal rights thing a long time ago, but the right wing keeps finding new people to blame for their own plight in life.

First it was those crazy women, then it was black people, now it’s gay people and, trust me on this, you’re next.

Not everyone in the rightwing is a terrible homophobe, some of them are pretty good at it.  They believe that if you marry someone of your own gender, it magically bothers my hetero marriage. You know, like if someone in Dallas eats a doughnut, it ruins my diet.

So, while most of the people in the anti-equality demonstrations at the Supreme Court today are the dumbest people west of anywhere east, some of them aren’t dumb.  They are just mean.  They are not happy unless they are fighting somebody.

Sweet Jesus said nothing about homosexuals.  He did say a lot about loving each other and about not judging people.

This Beauty Salon supports the rights of all Americans and, especially today, the rights of our LGBT brothers and sisters.

We ask you to join us in being left on politics and right on the issues.
