Ok, you're cynical. Also, you're a dick.

The Faith and Freedom Coalition:
'Because the separation of
Church and State is for homos.'
Sometimes I think there are people out there who wake up and decide to be living examples of what's wrong with politics and political debate in this country. No time to click on the link? Alright, I'll summarize: Senator Rand Paul, son of presidential candidate Ron Paul, is a dick. Look at this thing he said at an event hosted by the Iowa Faith and Freedom Coalition:

"Call me cynical, but I wasn't sure his (Obama's) views on marriage could get any gayer."

-Rand Paul, U.S. Senator for...
wait for it...Kentucky

Hey gaymo, vote for my dad!
Wooo! Ron Paul 2012!
So like, what do you think he meant by that? Hey, do you suppose Mr. Paul was complimenting the President on his bold public statement of support for a segment of the population that routinely faces discrimination and marginalization and had just last week been handed a demoralizing defeat in North Carolina? Yeah, not so much. That's a United States Senator using the word 'gay' the same way a twelve year-old on Xbox Live uses it just before he sticks you with a plasma grenade.


Gay, it seems, still means 'bad' to Rand, and to every single person in the room who thought that what he said was hilarious, and that just sucks. Look, I'm not trying to play thought police here, but isn't there some fundamental level of being a person we should all expect from each other?
