“Hold Your Positions”

Filed under: American Culture,Corporate Capitilism,Elections,Politicians,Religious Reich,Socialist Progressive — Morwen Madrigal @ 8:35 pm

‘Tis a command given by thousands of battlefield commanders for centuries. It’s also appropriate with many things Civil in the 21st Century.

I was taught what the American Culture’s Promise: equality ad the helping each one of us to have a decent life. Nothing in those teachings mention Oligarchs. I don’t remember edicts that all of us had to fit the same Religious profile.Color of your skin? Screw that.

It was about a Philosophy of being Equals and living together in this land, not “Survival of the Most Rapacious”.

This little soul believed. Still do.

I gave service to the Country. I have worked hard for many factions of this Nation that have been not been able to to become part of the Equality promised: Race issues, Women’s, LGB, Trans, Environment… Let’s just say any one or group that has been harmed by the excesses of the Money/Power crowd. I will always fight in the ways I can.

I stand and hold my position. And there is any show of weakness on the opponent’s side that will allow advantage, fucking steamroller them… ADVANCE the position.

We would accept the “choices” that the ruling Paradigm presents us? If enough of us would when voting just wrote in the Other space, “Fuck all the above”, we could become a majority vote and then the process of elections would start again until those who are truly the kind of folk we know that will be OUR Representatives appear on those ballots. Vote THEM in.

Big Bid’ness would shit the proverbial brick. (“You don’t want my campaign contribution?”. “No, we don’t take bribes”.)

Even if those things happened, all of us would still have to exercise due diligence against any inroads from the enemy. And Power and Money are the Enemy of the People. Never forget that.

Hold your position, and know that down here in the Swamps will be doing the Swamps will be doing the same. (Yes Francis Marion and Jean Lafitte are heroes of mine)

Don’t stop me now…

Filed under: American Culture,LGBT,New Orleans,Religious Reich — Morwen Madrigal @ 3:15 am

Ahhh… the fuckmooks of the Southern Republican Leadership Conference are leaving New Orleans (or in the brothels or dragging their sorry asses along Bourbon Street trying to get laid) tonight. Good deal, the air will be much cleaner once they are gone.

Yes they held their conference here in the very city that they wanted to let die after the Federal Flood in ’05.  It’s just their way of fucking (in a different sense) us over again. I got shoved to the side by two rotund Repugs insisting that the sidewalk belonged only to them in the Quarter (and me walking with a cane).  A blind man fared worse.  They stared harshly at the very folk that are trying to rebuild our city with very little help. People who are just hoping to get lives back to a sane level.

These assholes are the ones who will drop $10K for a dinner with Piyush Jindal, the worm of a Guv’nor for the Gret Stet of Looziana, but never think of what $10K might mean to to a food bank here.

I may just be a crazy witch, but I follow the teachings of a man called Jesus much more then they can ever do.  I give a shit about the World more than I do my “portfolio”.  I’M HUMAN.

And then I see on the local news that some punk-ass fucks went on a shooting spree after a beef from Mardi Gras in the Quarter. Is there any impulse control of this subset of the population? Innocent people were shot (but it’s okay since the wounds are not lethal).  I was there yesterday hobbling along with my cane. Should I, or anyone else, be a victim of their childish, less than Human, squabbles?

The problem is that if we, the citizens of New Orleans, supported a campaign to eradicate this plague, the Black Ministerial Alliance would go bat-shit insane.  They will come at us and accuse us of waging war against their “people”. (Sorry folks… we don’t carry guns to use in order to settle a “beef”). If you want to prove male superiority, do it in a backyard with your fists if you must. Leave the rest of us out of your bull shit.

And then fucking Mike Huckabee raises his hoary head about the fitness of LGBT folks concerning raising children. This absolute fucktard has defamed us for far too long. I would be a great parent for a kid because I live by Human principles, not the insanity of their religion or politics. I have compassion, a trait I see sadly lacking in their lives. I look to the Future whilst the bulk of them look back to “Leave It To Beaver”.  I “see” what can be. They cannot.

I guess that’s the difference of evolution of a soul. Try it some time assholes.

Reconstruct This…

Filed under: American Culture,Neo-Fascism,Religious Reich,Social Mores — Morwen Madrigal @ 3:14 pm

“I was talking ’bout the State of the Union, How there’s no one now in power thinking of me…”

Oops! There are people thinking about folks like me. They are “dom, dom dum dum”, the Christian Reconstructionists.  For some reason our Nation’s Constitution seems to be sorely lacking in their eyes, and they really have probs with those who just get on in their own groove. They are trying to use their monies to commit treason against our form of government and our vision of Life in the 21st Century. They despise the evolution of Humankind into self-realized, self-actualized beings. They wish to turn the clock back to a time when a camel was considered the only means of traveling.

I mean, do I desire to live in a sandy desert, with no phones or ‘puters? No escargot or sushi? No freakin’ way. Though our culture has it’s problems, it’s head and shoulders better then when folks pooped and peed into pots and then threw it into the streets. We have hot baths, and that is a blessing. We have machines that fly and boxes that cook food in minutes instead of hours, and creatures like these mooks want to drag us back into the Stone Age? Here’s some info on one of these mooks, and these asses, or this fool.

We the people have traitors in our midst.  These are creatures that have never sworn allegience to the miracle that is the American Promise. I, and many others have researched and guarded the gates against these enemies of the Modern World for decades. I personally have invested 30 years in keeping watch over these traitors. Back in ’75 I swore an oath to defend the Constitution of the United States and Her citizens. That oath is binding . There is no going back.

These are people that oppose the doctrine of “Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness”. We are suppossed to goose-step to their tune. We must not let them win.

Jindal Vs. LGBT/Progressive Folks

Filed under: Family Values,Fuckmooks,Insanity,LGBT,Louisiana,My Community,New Orleans,Politicians,Religious Reich,Social Mores,Theocracy — Morwen Madrigal @ 3:01 pm

Well, Jindal has finally started showing his hand when it comes to Civil Liberties when it comes to the B/S concept of “Family Values”. Here’s something he started last month-

“In December, Jindal announced the formation of the Louisiana Commission on Marriage and Family, billed as “an entity within the executive department that serves to propose programs, policies, incentives and curriculum regarding marriage and family by collecting and analyzing data on the social and personal effects of marriage and child-bearing within the state of Louisiana.”

In other words, Jindal’s Commission is going to be looking at – and making recommendations regarding – marriage and family issues within the state. And a quick look at some of those appointed by the Governor to serve on the panel leaves no doubt that, in the end, the line-up will do nothing more than promote an extreme, anti-gay agenda that sets back, blocks and battles any attempts to recognize or respect Louisiana’s same-sex families.”

Jindal has brought in Tony Perkins(Family Research Council), Gene Mills (the fanatic behind the Louisiana Family Forum) and the excrable Mike Johnson (council for the Alliance Defense Fund).

These are the fuckmooks that are attempting to control our Society and place all of us under Biblical Law, laws that have no place in a modern polyglot culture. Our dear little Bobby Jindal is aiding these mooks in providing a governmental platform for their backwards philosophies. Jindal has already rolled back State protections of the LGBT crowd that ex-Gov. Blanco  had made as an Exectutive Directive. He is aiding our (LGBT folks’) enemies in their battle to undermine our rights and their pogram to “correct” us. This cannot stand.

I respect the true followers of the words of Jesus, but there is no way in all the Hells that I can stand for the Fundie crowd to attempt to strip away my freedoms and life to suit their twisted mores.

It’s time to be hammering Jindal on this shit- 225-342-0991. It’s only a matter of time before they will go after the protections Orleans Parish has for our tribes. Please don’t let that happen.

The War On Christmas

Filed under: Religious Reich — Morwen Madrigal @ 10:58 am

Okay, it’s Thanksgiving… I’m starting the cooking and I wind up here trying to slay the “War On Christmas” shit again.

The Season of Lights, the Mid-Winter Solstice belongs to many cultures. Christians don’t own it, but they think they do. My people called it Yule, and it was a time for sharing as it was the middle of the Winter and everyone shared what they had so that the tribe could survive until the Spring. Same thing holds for Eostore which is the Pagan celebration of the coming of Spring. These celebrations are ancient.

There is no proof that a man 2,000 years ago was born on Dec. 25th or was crucified in the Spring 30 years later. These are our celebrations and we willingly share them with others. These days belong to every one.  These celebrations date back over 10,000 years. They belong to all of Humanity and not to a few mooks with an attitude.

There was a t-shirt around years ago that showed a skinny monk wearing a hooded robe pulling a Western Flyer wagon filled with Yule trees, colored eggs and bunnies.  The caption read, “For the One True Religion, you sure stole a lot of our stuff”. Ain’t it the fucking truth.

Augustine, who was sent to Britain in the Seventh Century issued an edict that churches were to be built upon and incorporate the stones of the Sacred centers so that the “people” would come to worship there. He also co-opted our seasonal celebrations in order to incorporate and transform what we Pagans believe into the religion of Rome. If conversion by the sword didn’t work, they would go with a psyche game.

Centuries later they would wind up burning the last of my tribe in an attempt to have complete control over the souls of the folk. Unfortunately for the dress-wearing pederasts in Rome, some of us survived. This I do know because I was there. Folk who just honored the Goddess and the cycles of Nature were be-headed or drowned or burned at the stake. They burned me, all for the sake of their “merciful” God.

So when Bill O’Rielly or the mook Dr. James Dobson (FoF) starts their annual campaign about the “War On Christmas”,  my hackles get raised. What the fuck do these assholes know about the Spirit of the Season? Yes the time is very commercialized, but we give each other gifts. We, for at least a tiny portion of the year remember that we are a part of the Whole. We actually “feel” our connection with what is called Humanity. I have no idea what they feel.

So we don’t think about a “baby lying in a manger”. The concept of shepards and three Wise Men don’t enter our celebrations. We drink, and eat and gift each other. Doesn’t this fit with what Jesus was about? Isn’t this what it’s all about?

Once a year, our annual cycle around the Sun, we are actually nice to each other. Would that everyday be Christmas.

So Mr. O’Rielly and Dr. Dobson, the only “War On Christmas” is the battle you and your kind wage against those of us who actually “get” the Spirit of the Season. Us real folk are going to eat, drink and be merry. And you mooks can just fuck the Hell off.

And now I must go to prepare a feast.

UPDATE- Forgot to include Donald Wildmon as one of the insane mooks.

I Can’t Marry Someone I Love?

Filed under: Insanity,LGBT,Religious Reich — Morwen Madrigal @ 5:33 am

For those people who voted for Prop 8 in California or those who support them in the other 49 States, I fucking hate and feel sorry for you. Ya’s see, I was in a Straight marriage once for many years, but the moment came when we had to confront the needs of each other, it fractured within two days. Screw me, it was all about HER.

I walked away, with some pain, but with a massive lifting off of my shoulders of a weight handed to me by a scion of a Conservative family.  I thought I had done what “society” deemed of me, and it was pure bull shit. When I needed to express myself, I no longer mattered. I was tossed away. (I also paid the bills.)

So I became myself. Became the person I always knew I was. I also knew that there was someone else out there who fit with me like a glove. And yes I did find her-

Her name is Betty.

She embraced me and my being, and I have never looked back. She is my love… my nemesis and my heartthrob. My friend, through thick and thin. The person who makes me into a better person. The person I want to strangle and yet hold onto for dear life.

My life means nothing if she isn’t in it. She’s my honey.

That’s called love… it’s also Sanctity beyond any of the religious frauds’ concepts. It is Blessed by the Goddess. It is what “marriage” is meant to be, a coupling of two people who pledge themselves to each other, “for better or for worse”. It is a Sacred bond given between two people that accept and embrace each other.

So I’m upset that many people, especially Mormons, Catholics and Blacks hate what me and my baby have. Isn’t this what Marriage was meant to be? Love, devotion, surrender? To merge together as one?

I guess they are wrong since I refuse to give up the life, and world, that has come to me by embracing this woman and saying, “Darlin’, I AM yours”.

In honor of that sentiment, here’s some lyrics from Santana that TOTALLY sums up how I feel about my Betty-

Sometimes, I imagine the world without you
But most times, I’m just so happy that I ever found you
It’s a complicated web, that you weave inside my head
So much pleasure with such pain
Hope we always, always stay the same

I’m feelin’ the way you cross my mind
And you save me in the nick of time
I’m ridin’ the highs, I’m diggin’ the lows
‘Cause at least I feel alive
I’ve never faced so many emotional days
But my life is good
I’m feelin’ you
I’m feelin’ you

You go, and then I can finally breathe in
‘Cause baby I know, in the end you’re never leavin’
Well we’re rarely ever sane, I drive you crazy and you do the same
But your fire fills my soul
And it warms me up like no one knows

‘Cause I’m feelin’ the way you cross my mind
And you save me in the nick of time
I’m ridin’ the highs, I’m diggin’ the lows
‘Cause at least I feel alive
I’ve never faced so many emotional days
But my life is good
I’m feelin’ you
I’m feelin’ you

[guitar solo]

I’m feelin’ the way you cross my mind
And you save me in the knick of time
I’m ridin’ the highs, I’m diggin’ the lows
‘Cause at least I feel alive
I’ve never faced so many emotional days

Oh, I’m feelin’ the way you cross my mind
And you save me in the nick of time
I’m ridin’ the highs, I’m diggin’ the lows
‘Cause at least I feel alive
I’ve never faced so many emotional days
But my life is good
I’m feelin’ you
I’m feelin’ you
I’m feelin’ you
Oh, I’m feelin’ you

Oh, I’m feelin’ the way that you cross my mind
And the way that you save me in the knick of time
Oh I’m feelin’ the way when you walk on by
I feel light, I feel love, I feel butterflies
I feel butterflies

How the fuck can anyone legislate against what we have in the name of Sanctity?

It’s not sanity. (And I feel sorry for you)

The Mormons Are Upset?

Filed under: Catholics,Inter/Trans-Sexed,LGBT,Mormons,Religious Reich — Morwen Madrigal @ 5:25 am

Fuck those Magic Underwear idiots. The LGBT community is attacking you?

You fuckmooks, you create your own paranoias.  The “white powder” “attacks are probably from your own in a blatant attempt to poison the feelings about those who oppose your actions. Having lived in “Mormon-held territory” I wouldn’t put it past you.

My kind don’t do that. All we wish is for folks like you to STFU and leave us alone.

The California Supreme Court rules that equal rights are for all under the State Constitution even if one is LGBT and you fucks from Utah (what a shithole state) pour $20M into a fight to overturn a different State Court’s verdict?  Ya’s teamed up with your enemies, the child-raping Catholic Church, in order to deny folks like me the right to the same rights you over-child bearing jerks enjoy?

Fuck you again.

You people are sick puppies.  You can have 10 wives but I can’t have my one Darling? That makes three “fuck yous”.

Yes we are protesting outside of your “business” centers. Yes we are marching. Yes we damn you to the depths of whatever Hell you subscribe to, but we don’t want to hurt anyone. We just want you to leave us alone. (Remember, you are freaks the Feds had to take down many years ago. Remember that one mooks?)

You put $20M into a campaign in another stae, along with the dress-wearing pediphile Catholic Church mooks, to remove the Constitutional Rights granted by the Constitution of California? Fuck you again.

Me and mine don’t take orders from Salt (kill me now) Lake City or the pedarists in the dung-hole named Rome. We are American citizens and we demand our Rights under the various State and Federal Constitutions. Our allegiance, devotion and love is to our Nation and it’s ideals, not to your fucking lies and superstitions. In other words weirdos, we ain’t cut from the same bolt of cloth you whack-jobs are.

We love and care for those we choose, and there isn’t any Power in Heaven or on Earth that can deny us. “All acts of Love are Holy in Mine eyes” states the Goddess. You may control your mindless congregations, but you have no power over us and our lives and loves. We are free from your mind control B/S. You have have no power over us… we have Power from within. That is what happens when you are self-actuated and not programmed.

All we ever wanted was our Rights and to be left alone to have our lives and loves. Now you mooks have a war on your hands, along with the blood of those of us killed by your teachings and the mental robots you have released upon Society. I know this to be true- I have been beaten almost to death by your minions.

When we win this case, I hope the punishment is the revocation of your tax-exempt status. Maybe even the banning of your hateful religions. I wish to see the death of your B/S worldview. I desire the expunging of your names from the rolls of those who lived in this country. None of you are Americans- you are space aliens or the subjects of the Vatican. That ain’t American citizenship as I see it.

And since I AM a vindictive bitch, may both of your tribes fuck off and die.

BTW- mooks, I was born with ALL of the boy and girl parts. That means I am more than any of you could ever be. The Goddess makes no mistakes. ‘Nuff said.

Prop 8 and Hatred

Filed under: American Culture,Family Values,Fuckmooks,LGBT,Religious Reich,Social Mores — Morwen Madrigal @ 11:33 pm

I’m still reeling from the passage of Prop 8 funded by the Catholics and Mormans and actualized by the Black community.

My query- how the Hell do I threaten your lives ?

I have my honey. I curl up with her when we go to bed. I scream at her when I think she’s on the wrong page and I hold her when she is hurt. She does the same for me. That is love.

Tonight Kieth Olberman did a special comment concerning this issue. I wound up crying because this is how I see my relationship with Betts.

Yes, I can get angry with her, but every moment I’m thinking of her and wondering what’s  going down. It matters to me if something bad happens to her. This is the person I trust to lay next to me at night. This is the person I trust with my life and my health care. Betty is my friend, and I trust her.

This is what Olberman was talking about- we are friends and live as a couple. We share a life… we have friends.

Never in my life have I felt so secure.

Never in my life have I felt desired and loved as I do now.

There is nothing that the two of us has that endangers what you others have. We laugh and cry together. We scream at each other. Some nights I sleep on the sofa, but in the end we have love for each other. What is wrong with that?

Why do I need the approval of some mythical creature in order to sleep and feel safe?

Why do I need to have the approval of Humans for that which I believe is Hallowed? That which my Goddess and my heart tells me is right?

What does it matter that I chose Betty as my partner? Any skin off your ass? Did it kill your Jesus?  No, it didn’t. I found someone I dearly love, and she is the light of my life. Hers will be the last face I will see as I die. She will be the last person who touches me as I head to another world. My soul is safe in her embrace.

So for you fuckmooks who voted for Prop 8 in Cali, and for the rest of you who only know what your minister tells you, I live in the holiness of a bond that can only be achieved by two people who are in love. Can only happen when YOU make that decision to love unconditionally.Maybe one day you can reach that standard.

So babies, curl up with your honeys tonight. And tell the cross-wearers to STFU and get out of your lives.

Colin Powell Endorses Barack Obama For President

Filed under: Barack Obama,Campaign 2008,John-McCain,Politicians,Progressive News,Religious Reich,Sarah Palin — Morwen Madrigal @ 11:01 am

This is the Dawn of a New World-

“Powell, making his 30th appearance on “Meet the Press,” said he does not plan to campaign for Obama. He led into his endorsement by saying: “We’ve got two individuals — either one of them could be a good president. But which is the president that we need now — which is the individual that serves the needs of the nation for the next period of time.

“And I come to the conclusion that because of his ability to inspire, because of the inclusive nature of his campaign, because he is reaching out all across America, because of who he is and his rhetorical abilities — and you have to take that into account — as well as his substance — he has both style and substance, he has met the standard of being a successful president, being an exceptional president.”

Powell said that he is “troubled” by the direction of the Republican Party, and said he began to doubt Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) when he chose Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate.

“Not just small towns have values,” he said, responding to one of Palin’s signature lines.”

So mote it be.

Dear Conservatives, Will You Help Save the Republic from Military Takeover?

Filed under: American Culture,Fuckmooks,George Bush,Neo-Fascism,Religious Reich — Morwen Madrigal @ 10:46 am

Here is a warning from Naomi Wolf, author of the “Shock Doctrine”, concerning the Bush Administration’s latest moves to possibly take away the freedoms that all Americans should enjoy. It is a scary scenario and is already being played out on small, but important levels.

Read the missive here.

And of course here’s a small snippet of said missive to get you to read the piece Gentle Readers-

“I warned that within six months we would see the definition of “terrorist” expanded so that the “terrorists” in the news would soon look like heartland, mainstream Americans. We now hear that mere protesters at the RNC in Minnesota have been charged as terrorists.”

This is not the vision of America I was raised to believe in. It is NOT what the Founders desired. This is a gun pointed at every one of our heads whether we agree or not with the Ruling Elite. We can become prisoners in a 50 State prison. The Constitution will become meaningless and our precious freedoms and rights will be stripped from us.

Instead of being a Free people, we will become serfs.

As Patrick Henry put it, “Give me Liberty, or give me death”. I agree with his statement with every fiber of my Being with him.

Benjamin Franklin said when asked wheteher the Founders had created a Republic or a Monarchy, he responded, “A Republic, if you can keep it”.

We must keep our Republic alive.
