Dude, that is hilarious!!
Coincidentally, here's a post I wrote on a different BB a couple of weeks ago...the similarities are uncanny!
*************
Why talk about gay marriage, flag burning, and prayer in school?
Because, in a nutshell, there is a large percentage of uneducated, bigoted, righteous religious hypocrites in this nation...enough to sway a close election, and that's for sure.
That group... we'll call them the "Ff'n Idiots" for short...the F'n Idiots don't care about intellectual or difficult issues...frankly, they are still trying to figure out how the internet works, or deoderant, and don't have time to get ejimucated on stuff like the war, or the economy.
However, the F'n Idiots, being who they are, love it when they can leave their jobs at Wal-Mart, Burger King, or the local gas station (or more likely stumble out of the bar where they've been spending their days since getting fired from their job at the cement factory after a third warning for throwing puppies in the mixers and giggling), go to the polls, and finally get out and tell all those "smart alecks from the big cities" where to stick it.
You see, the F'n Idiots are used to being pushed around, and what's worse is that sometimes it happens from people who are of a different color, or worse, a woman. It's always one of their faults...that or the jews, or Catholics, or the Democrats.
It's always somebody...somebody who's not them.
So...when your approval ratings are swimming in circles in the bottom of a Honey Bucket (TM), you avoid any of the issues that got them there, and pick a few that the F'n Idiots might enjoy being a part of...like any issue where they can blame their woes on somebody else...or even better, get to tell somebody else who to run their lives for a change.
What kind of issues are those?
Well, for starters, there's abortion. Neverminding the fact that they themselves are excellent examples of why abortion should be legal, and even though they have seen the inside of a jail cell more often than the inside of a church, they think if good ol' Georgie says it's fer Gawd, why, by golly, they'll vote for it...especially if it means those mouthy broads on the coasts will get all angered up about it.
Same with school prayer, and teaching Idiotic Design.
Gay marriage is an easy one...those uppity homos got it comin', anyway...what with makin' Brokeback Mountain and such. Why do they get to have so much money and fun when I have to work an extra shift at Podunk Taco Stand this Thursday, and will miss the smash up derby?
Yeah, they don't know much, but they do know that whatever is wrong with their lives is somebody else's fault...and along comes the Neocon Revolution to not only agree with them, but to come right and tell them who...and the "who" is everyone but the Neocon Revolutionaries.
So, when the goin' gets tough, the tough "cut and run" from the real issues, and go out and find some idiotic ones to waste the country's time and resources on...ones that will get the F'n Idiots to the polls to vote. While they're there at the polls, they'll likely vote for the "cut and run" politicos in charge who gave them the heads up on all those damn homos and big talkin' womenfolks, kinda as a gesture of thanks...
...thanks for telling us it's everyone else's fault but ours...
And then the "cut and run" politicos will get back to what they were doing, and forget that the F'n Idiots even exist until the next time they need their idiotic votes in an election.
Fish on...

P.S. If you don't have a good working knowledge of satire and sarcasm, go and look those words up in the dictionary before you have an apoplectic fit about my description of the F'n Idiots...but don't forget, it's not only satire and sarcasm, but is fully infused with the truth of why such stupid issues are coming up now, and why Dumbya is making such a big deal about them.
