A storm is gathering. Are you afraid, Christian? Are you afraid *enough*?


My favorite part has got to be the lightning.

The fake lightning, that is, flashing just off to the side, a cheap 'n' cheesy special effect that momentarily lights up the actors' faces in the most sweetly melodramatic way as they stand there against the dark 'n' stormy backdrop like devout Christian zombies, delivering delightfully weird and wooden lines about being openly terrified of those openly terrifying gay married people.

Yes, it's merely another series of strange, alarmist, deeply homophobic ads from yet another seething anti-gay group you've never heard of (the National Organization for Marriage, or NOM), ads which are running right now in five states in response to two stunning, watershed gay marriage upheavals in Iowa and Vermont, AKA two more states now shamelessly roaring down the highway to hell.

Have you heard? Turns out the married gays are still on the march. No longer merely a coastal phenomenon, undeterred by the economic recession, as yet unsmited by God's redneck fury, these bizarre, relentlessly loving creatures are now invading the heartland. Will the nightmare of love never end? ...

2. No ideas

The Republicans/conservatives no longer have ideas they have marketing and ad campaigns. They know they can't argue their narrow minded positions straight up (no pun intended) so they come up with silly sound bite ads with lines like 'there's a storm brewing' or when it comes to taxes 'teabagging'. You can just see them sitting in some smoked filled room trying to come up with a way to package their bigotry in a form that people will 'buy'. Then of course they have to come up with some misnamed fron group like 'National Organization for Marriage' so it sounds real official. There attitude as stated by one of their minions is the only reality is the one they create. Unfortunately for them their little campaigns are becoming more and more desperate, silly and transparent. They don't realize that a large part of the American electorate are tuning them out.
