I Stole This From Tekky

Like several of us have been saying here, for years now...the second he became President, a rather large portion of our *post racial* populous crawled out of the woodwork to show us just how empty and meaningless that term is when confronted by reality.

It's kind of scary to think just how many people honestly can't separate their ideology/politics from bigotry...and in many instances, for many people, they're one in the same.

Race, wealth, religion, non-religion, gender, sexual orientation, party affiliation don't matter to me. My number one criteria is, "Can you get the job done?" Can you separate yourself from influence that doesn't belong in secular governance? I want common sense back in politics and not common sense that's calibrated from greed, fear, bigotry, entitlement, ignorance.

I don't want people on the Science Committee who don't believe in it and stifle/hinder it's inclusion in our society. I don't want people on Educational Committees who don't give a fuck about education. I don't want people on Environmental Committees who don't give a fuck about the environment. I don't want people on Labor and Jobs Committees who don't give a fuck about Laborers. I don't want people on Economic/Financial Committees who aren't economists and who are obligated to a very select few in our society to introduce legislation on their behalf..and think burning the country to the ground economically for political gain is...acceptable. I don't want people on Foreign Affairs committees who shit themselves if someones darker than pearl.

I want intelligent, critical/logical thinking, non-beholden, non-bigoted, non-war mongering, non-religious war-mongering, non-fear driven, non-hate driven, secular-minded people who react to situations based on the reality of the situations...and not because their asshole exploded over per-conditioned bullshit they can't separate from their legislative duties. Jeebuz Christ!
