Dear ignorant close-minded citizens;
“Yes, please boycott Oreo for their support of gay rights. We’ll all appreciate you going on a diet. While you’re at it, please throw away your iPod, iPhone & iPad since Apple supports them, as well. Hopefully you have a lot of clothes, because you’ll need to ditch your Levis and Nikes too. Perhaps you bought them at JC Penn……ey or Sears? Sucks you’ll have to take them back. Come to think of it, anything you wear from any fashion brand probably had a gay involved. Flying somewhere soon? Better not be on American, Delta, Southwest, or United…cuz you’ll need a new ticket. Oh, your favorite Airline wasn’t mentioned? Just be sure the jet you’ll be flying on isn’t Boeing made. Don’t sleep at Marriott or Hilton (or any of their family brands) because you might catch ‘the gay’ they support. That morning coffee from Starbucks will have to go as well, so go ahead it replace it with a McCafe. Oh wait, McDonald’s supports gay rights too. Hmm, do you clean with Tide, Gain or Bounty? Use Duracell batteries, shave with Gillette or use Fixodent? Brush with Crest, use Pantene, Scope, Tampax, Venus or Old Spice products? Damn, those are all gone too (stupid P&G supporting the gays.) Damn, you’re using Internet Explorer, Safari, Firefox or Chrome to access Facebook and read this status? Better download something else because Microsoft and Google show their Pride as well. But, your favorite drinks are safe. Coca-Cola, Pepsi and Budweiser are on your side…if your side is on the right side of history since all three also support lgbt equality. Hopefully, you or your lawyer will never need in-depth research. Both LexisNexis and Westlaw, who together control the market, support equality too. Drive that big, manly Ford F350? It’s a ‘Friend of Dorothy’ as its company Ford - along with General Motors - also support equal rights for all. Better stick with a homemade horse-drawn carriage, unless you find the parts to build it at Home Depot & Lowes, cuz well, then you’re screwed. Seriously. Do us all a favor, leave the frackin’ cookie alone… just STAY HOME and boycott everything.”

“Traditional Military Culture – To protect our serviceman and women and ensure that America’s Armed Forces remain the best in the world, we affirm the timelessness of those values, the benefits of traditional military culture and the incompatibility of homosexuality with military service.”
—Republican Party of Texas platform 2012. Apparently nobody has told the authors of this platform about the “traditional military culture” from the Greek civilization, thousands of years ago.
“
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (“Obamacare”) ― We demand the immediate repeal of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, which we believe to be unconstitutional.
Health Care Choice ― We urge the passage of health care reform, which results in more affordable healthcare through a market-based, competitive, and transparent health care system, including tort reform, interstate competition, genuine accountability and oversight.
2012 Republican Party of Texas platform.
THEY PUT THEM RIGHT NEXT TO EACH OTHER. SERIOUSLY.
“Supporting Motherhood ― We strongly support women who choose to devote their lives to their families and raising their children. We recognize their sacrifice and deplore the liberal assault on the family.”
—2012 Republican Party of Texas platform.
“Flag Desecration - Any form of desecration of the American Flag is an act of disregard for our nation and its people and penalties should be established for such.”
—2012 Republican Party of Texas platform, in distinct disregard for the first amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
“Voter Rights Act – We urge that the Voter Rights Act of 1965 codified and updated in 1973 be repealed and not reauthorized.”
—2012 Republican Party of Texas platform.
“Homosexuality ― We affirm that the practice of homosexuality tears at the fabric of society and contributes to the breakdown of the family unit. Homosexual behavior is contrary to the fundamental, unchanging truths that have been ordained by God, recognized by our country’s founders, and shared by the majority of Texans. Homosexuality must not be presented as an acceptable “alternative” lifestyle, in public policy, nor should “family” be redefined to include homosexual “couples.” We believe there should be no granting of special legal entitlements or creation of special status for homosexual behavior, regardless of state of origin. Additionally, we oppose any criminal or civil penalties against those who oppose homosexuality out of faith, conviction or belief in traditional values.”
—2012 Republican Party of Texas platform.
