Shower Epiphanies Are Greatness

Last week, I was watching a video about what Republicans said they would do should they gain control of Congress in the fall/winter. Part of it including blocking Universal Health Care, the end of Don't Ask Don't Tell, extending tax cuts, and creating morally bankrupt immigration laws. It sickened and scared me. I closed the tab, and tried to move on with my life.

The next day, I got in the shower, yet couldn't shake the video out of my head. For some reason, the shower for me is another person's toilet. I come of with my best ideas there; I think more clearly. Thoughts and epiphanies come and go regularly.

That happened that morning. I was thinking about the GOP's blocking of the Democrats ending DADT and banning LGBT marriage in particular. While in that video, the Republican representatives were denouncing "Big Government" and saying how annoyed they were about the government being involved in the affairs and business of the individual, I found a gross hypocrisy inherent in what they were saying.

Shower epiphanies, y'all.

Republicans don't want to be told whether or not they can own guns. They don't want to be told what should be done with their money. They don't think the government has a right to do any of these things and more, yet many Republicans think that it's the government's right to interfere in the lives of individuals when it comes to sexual orientation. You can't tell them what to do with their money, but we can't let the LGBT community get married. They can't even openly serve in the military.

Where is there a bigger example of the so-called "Big Government" they're fighting against?

I'm not trying to paint all Republicans with the same brushstroke at all. But I can't help how many of those Republicans who want to "save America" by forcing the government to back off of their rights want to legislate discrimination and infringe on the rights of the individual, something they claim to be so against.

I should install a shower in my bedroom.
