It's been a while since I had a good old fashioned rant.  Today, I feel the need for one.

I don't think anyone here is unaware of the fact that I am an athiest.  I don't think anyone here is unaware of the fact that I believe in gay rights.  I also don't think anyone here thinks that because of those two issues, I am not a conservative.  What continues to shock and amaze me is that there are people out there who really, honestly, sincerely and completely believe that because I am not Christian and because I beleive in homosexual rights that I am not, cannot be, will never fucking be a conservative.

I know that I am never going to move or sway the social-cons.  I know that there is nothing I can say that will change their minds.  But, damnit, I still fucking have something to say about it.

Fuck you.  Fuck you hard with a rusty steel dildo attached to a skittle-shitting unicorn's ass.  Fuck you for saying that I'm not conservative enough.  Fuck you for believing that coneservatism is solely the province of Judeo-Christian morals and principals.  I don't believe there's a damn thing wrong with your morals and principals - allow me to make that perfectly fucking clear.  In fact, I'd hazard a guess that I live by some pretty damn fucking similar rules.  I don't kill or lie or cheat or covet my neighbor's wife or what-the-fuck-ever.  I believe in being kind and gentle; in being generous and charitable; in being forgiving and compassionate.

I believe in fiscal conservatism.  I believe in the Constitution.  I believe in a strong national defense.  I believe in limiting spending, limiting the role of government in our lives; I believe in equality and justice.  I believe in motherfucking guns, I believe in freedom of fucking speech, I believe in checks and balances, I believe in the unquestionable, beautiful, unfuckingrivaled power of capitalism.

I live, love, and fight for the American dream.

I am sick and fucking tired of being told that I'm not good enough for my party, and my movement, simply because I disagree on two fucking things.

Who the fuck do you think you fucking are to call me names?  Someone had the fucking audacity to tell me that I am "no better than Obama" today.

Are you out of your fucking mind?  Seriously, are you fucking insane?  You make me fucking sick.  Your attitude is disgusting.  Your views are intolerant.  Are you too fucking stupid to realize that you can disagree with someone 20% of the time and still be on the same motherfucking side? 

Or is the purity of your party too important for you to compromise once in a fucking while?  Is the purity of your beliefs so important that you want to tell your allies to fuck off?  Is the purity of your system so vulnerable to corruption that being tolerant and accepting of just a few outside ideas is enough to make it fucking crumble?

If that's what I'm fighting for, then I'm wasting my time.

If, however, I'm fighting for us to share our ideas freely, to limit the role of government, to stop this massive entitlement and spending and free-ride skittle-shitting unicorn spree, then I'm fucking on board.

Intolerance comes in many, many fucking guises.

Don't you ever question my faith in conservatism.

Don't you ever question my belief in our Constitution.

Don't you ever question my integrity.

And, if you're going to do those things, don't you fucking expect that I will sit fucking quietly by and let you silence my voice.  I will always - always - fight for what I believe.

Nothing is more fucking American than that.
