Merry Christmas, everyone! Hope everyone had a good one.

How am I spending it?

Home alone, watching Sleepless in Seattle with “Pen-Pen.”

The reasons for it were “promotes hatred or violence” based on “sexual orientation” with my reasons as follows:

It promotes anti-homosexual rights and fails to understand the reason behind “separation of church and State” and why the First Amendment was put in place– to allow others to choose what religion they wish to follow or not. There is a very good reason why religion is not promoted or taught in public schools– it’s to not push or favor one religion over another. Thomas Jefferson said it best:

“Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between man and his god, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legitimate powers of government reach actions only, and not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their “legislature” should “make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,” thus building a wall of separation between church and State.”

Let’s face it, the USA has no official religion and never will have one so long as the First Amendment is in place. The First Amendment may protect this video and his freedom of expression, but however this video is promoting hatred and discrimination.

There is no war on religion. There is a war on terrorism. There is a war on our failing economy. There is a war to get jobs for the American people and keep them here. But, there is no war on religion.

Take it as you will, but this video has no place on Youtube and this Presidential candidate has no place in the White House.

If you are going to be President, you are not only representing this country but the people in it. And, that includes every single American in this country regardless of age, race, and sexual orientation.

If you do not represent them as a whole, then you have no right to be President of this country. This country is established on the simple truth that it is a government of the People, by the People, and for the People. You take them out of the picture or just a part of them, then it is not a United States of America.

Watch the video or don’t watch the video, but if you know your US History (hopefully) and what this country is and what it was founded upon and what the Constitution protects, then you will know this video is wrong in every single aspect.

Report the video as inappropriate and you are free to copy the reasons I have written above or write your own.

Hey, I believe in free speech and expression, but Westboro gives Catholicism a bad name just like any other fundamentalist and extremist religious group. I will respect other religions and other beliefs so long as they respect others themselves including mine. Westboro lacks any semblance of respect for others. And, you wonder why I choose to have no religion… this is one of those reasons. Hypocrisy and hatred seems more prevalent in religion than hate groups themselves.

It’s at times when I see these people I grow more and more weary, and more disappointed on humanity as a whole because a small group of people give the rest of us a bad name. Fuck off Westboro.

And, kudos and great job to The Foo Fighters. Another reason for me to love this band even more.

This video reminded me of Sim City 2 and seeing Sims enjoying a day at the beach.

Something else I’d like to do as well… travel around the US.

I’ve now added a writings section to my blog. First up are my dreams that I’ve had since the late 1980s. I will add more in the future. I’ve got a lot of stories and writings that I’ve had for quite a while. Many of them are unfinished though.

A video of something I’d like to do someday: Travel around the world.
