Bernard Gaynor, a senate nominee representing Bob Katter's "Katter's Australia Party", yesterday tweeted. "I wouldn't let a gay teach my kids."
In a spectacularly ballsy (sorry) move, Gaynor effectively committed political suicide. Which is pretty impressive considering an election hasn't been called yet, and Gaynor isn't even a senator yet, and most political hopefuls wait until they have POWER before putting their foot in their mouth.
But the hilariously named Gaynor just can't seem to wait to express his paranoid and unjustified views.
People like Gaynor hold these incredibly backward views because they want to shield their children from a lifestyle that they consider sinful and full of vice.
But, by refusing to let gays teach their kids, parents like Gaynor are unintentionally exposing their children to the things that they intended to shield them from.
Think about it. Most children before the age of 12 know "gay" only as an insult or an exclamation of disapproval or displeasure. As in: this homework is gay.
Most 8 year olds aren't thinking, "I wonder what Mr. Green does in his bedroom. Is there a misses Green? Does he like Abba? I wonder where he's stuck his penis?"
Most 8 year olds are thinking about whose turn it is to be batman; and how many more girls they can sit next to before girl germs reaches epidemic proportions.
The one thing 8 year olds are not thinking of is whether their maths teacher fantasizes about George Michael and hot tubs.
And as much as sick, backward, juvenile, dangerous lunatics like Gaynor like to say they are only trying to protect their children, the fact is, they are unwittingly, and ironically, drawing attention to an issue that they wish to hide their children from.
As I sarcastically commented to Mr. Gaynor on Twitter, "when your kids are learning their times tables, the sexual lifestyle of their maths teacher is SO important."

Little Book? So, Piers, You Want to Talk About Little?
Piers Morgan, like many who share his view on guns, doesn't like silly facts getting in the way of emotion and sensationalism.
Morgan calls for a ban on assault weapons because the last 4 mass shootings in America involved those particular firearms. When Ben Shapiro pointed out that most gun murders in America are with handguns (many of those murders gang related) Morgan continues his inane tirade against assault weapons.
For crying out loud, Piers. It is numbers, percentages that tell the truth about the severity of a particular problem. The fact that the last 4 mass shootings in America have involved assault weapons is irrelevent. Most gun crime is committed by crooks with your typical, run of the mill handgun.
I also found Morgan's dismissal of the "tyranny" argument as quite naive and dangerous. Morgan, like many who want us to place all our faith in government, makes the mistake of thinking politicians will always do right by the people; that they will never abuse their powers.
There's a good little lamb.

Member of Congress Says Obama Should Bypass Congress
Seems not even the White House believes the President can use the 14th Amendment to raise the debt ceiling. Thank God, America, Nancy Pelosi isn't your president.

The Delhi Atrocity
While the world has been focussed on criticising the United States and it's gun culture, a very real sickness infests gun restrictive India.
The world's eyes, ears and prayers turned earlier this month to the sub continent, after reports of a gang rape, on a public bus of all places, of a young student from Delhi.
Her injuries are horrific. She is barely alive.
And then today I learnt of another rape that occured in November.
The young victim (she was 17) of that assault has committed suicide after police pressured her to drop the charges.
These women could be our daughters, our sisters. They are someone's daughters, sisters. The next victim could be a mother, a wife.
Australia's prime minister, the "misogynist finder", Julia Gillard, would do well to look at the reports coming from India. She will learn what real misogyny looks like.
India is sick. Pray for the victims. And may justice be brought heavily upon the perpertrators.

The Julia Gillard Definition of "Compassion."
When you take from the mouths of genuine refugees, and give to the illegal immigrants you are supposed to be deterring, then you are nothing short of a poverty enabler.

No Link Between Autism and Mass Murder.
Agree absolutely with this article
There is no correlation between autism spectrum disorders and violent crime. Yet the media has latched onto the fact that Adam Lanza had aspergers as somehow important in attempting to explain why the killings occured.
The link above also refers to a recent blog post by Idaho blogger Liza Long, who writes as "Anarchist Soccer Mom." Long has a "mentally ill" son. She admits that he has never been diagnosed; autism has been suggested as a possibility, yet has not yet been diagnosed.
I refuse to post a link to Long's blog. If you want to search for it, feel free. But I refuse to promote her on this blog - aside from the criticism I am now giving.
Long labels her son as a potential killer by calling herself, and mother's like her, the "mothers" of a Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris, of a James Holmes and Adam Lanza. Without having a qualified diagnosis she compares her 13 year old child to the aforementioned killers.
And to top it off she includes a photo of her poor son, betraying his right to anonymity.
A mother who means well?

So Now Sports Shooting Clubs Are Bad?
While parents and the media cry hysterical over a shooting lesson run by qualified shooters of a registered gun club, this will be the number one video game sold at Christmas.
Michigan wants to protect it's residents. They obviously care about children and the vulnerable. Two groups the law is supposed to PROTECT, not turn into sitting ducks. Points to Michigan.
Also... This. From a man with a PHD.

Right, Wing-Nut!: The Newtown Massacre: Blame The Media?
The media obsession with the unhinged Right, Wing-Nut!: The Newtown Massacre: Blame The Media?
It was the same with the Norway murders, perhaps more so. The media has always loved the exploitation of these tragedies. The perpertrators of these crimes are present as anti-social, almost Hollywood-like caricatures of villainy. Very little attempt is made to research facts, delve deeper into what made these monsters. The media is content to present the most sensationalistic, pulp fiction, dime novel style, psycopath's masturbation fodder, for consumption over coffee and toast. It's not the victims they care about. Villains sell papers. So sensationalize and celebrate your latest villain.
