Republican Dirty Tricks

Here’s another Republican dirty trick that you can set your clock to – that is, another fervently anti-gay Republican lawmaker caught in the act of being himself -  a self-loathing, sexually-repressed, hypocritical, homophobic, gay man inflicting his closeted manias on our society at large by seeking to suppress others like himself who have the courage to be themselves in the face of the discriminatory laws he champions.

This time, the self-loathing closeted anti-gay, gay man is California State Senator Roy Ashburn, who was pulled over in his state-issued vehicle and arrested for drunk driving after leaving a gay bar in the (gasp!) company of another man.

The Huffington Post reports:

Early Wednesday morning, State Sen. Roy Ashburn (R-Calif.) was pulled over and arrested for drunk driving. Sources report that Ashburn — a fierce opponent of gay rights — was driving drunk after leaving a gay nightclub; when the officer stopped the state-issued vehicle, there was an unidentified man in the passenger seat of the car.  Read the rest of the HP article here.

Normal people (non-Republicans) know that for a person to identify as Republican, he or she is ikely suffering from some form of psychological deficiency.  Whether it be Sociopathic greed, Malignant Narcissism, Stockholm Syndrome, willful ignorance, classist superiority complex, irrational fear of the “other”, need for authoritarian “daddy” figure to spy on them, or just plain low intelligence (as the recent American Sociological Association study found liberals and atheists are smarter than Repugs concluded).

Republicans are also inherent cowards most commonly evidenced by their psychopathic need to send others to die in wars they, themselves, avoid fighting.  Another manifestation is displayed when Republicans who secretly harbor homosexual feelings and lack the courage to face the world as they truly are, rather manifest what is known as the reaction formation – a psychological defense mechanism that is characterized by the masking of “unacceptable” emotions by publicly and aggressively adopting the direct opposite behaviors.

If only these Republicans would get help for their manias rather than inflict them on a normal society, whose only crime is desperately trying to evolve in spite of their vociferous and regressive opposition.
