Wherein I don't care by making a point about that which I don't care, to reinforce a point about which I do care, very much...

I don't care about or for Mel Gibson. He utters [insert contemptible whatever] crap all the time. He owns his own production company. He loves a very angry God. He likes making babies and he doesn't feel the need to apologize for his opinions.

I don't care for his opinions, but I do respect the refusal to apologize for them, especially when he says, "'I don't think there's an apology necessary, and I'm certainly not giving one. [Those remarks were a response] to a direct question. If someone wants my opinion, I'll give it. What, am I supposed to lie to them?'"

So - a former sex symbol who likes to produce, direct and star in violent revenge films, doesn't like Jews, women or homosexuals, apparently has regressive notions about black folks, and belongs to the most traditional and borderline heretical wing of the RCC, also has the balls to just say it. 

A lot.

Good. I prefer that kind of honesty - just like I prefer vocal and public White Nationers, openly anti-homosexual bigots, militianos who think Jeebus will return any day now, Farrakhanist black exceptionalists and regressive idgits like Sean Connery* and Adam Baldwin (and much I can forgive, for Jayne).

Because, if you have a opinion, mean it.

Sure, some of them might pose an actual threat. I don't doubt that. Mel Gibson seems to pose a real threat to the women who get close to him. So does Charlie Sheen.

I'll take any one of these assholes over a sneering, sedate, psychopathically calm, methodically murderous cruise missile liberal, say like:

And I'll take the same set of asshole shitwits, any day, over the faux sympathetic, lying, opportunistic, shameless, pandering fecal salesman of world historic hypocrisy, such as:

And if I have to chose between an openly racist, woman hating homophobe and the two of these shits together:

I'll take the regressive dick munch with his honestly contemptible opinions over the two towering masters of deceit, murder and inhuman expansion of imperial warfare - each and every time.

ADDENDUM -

This man:

...has no known murders to his name.

This man:

...has hundreds, if not thousands.

Whose legion of offenses dominates the news cycle, again? Hmmm.




* - one must have standards. I draw the line at career motherfucker and the Compleat Asshole™, John Malkovich. No soup for him.
