Signs 2: Not All Colorodans are Blind With Homophobia

ProgressNow has an entertaining blurb from Bush's recent appearance in Colorado. This is something Harrogate has been waiting to see represented for some time now, it's a base strategy for signification from which a whole lot of messages ought to be emanating.
Harrogate remains more convinced than ever that hatred of gays is right there with the abortion slugfest at the controlling underbelly of this country's political consciousness:
Soldiers and foreign brown people and sick and dying poor people by comparison seem more like Doritos: "crunch all you want we'll make more." But don't dare let boys kiss whilst we walk the Earth.
It's time this inane underbelly got turned upside down and exposed, and debated for real. Oh for the day.

I'm going to use this logic on my daughter: "eat your broccoli now, so the terrorists won't win"; "that's exactly what the terrorists want--for you to have sex"; and, finally, "if you buy that $300 prom dress, Osama will attack again...because he hate's freedom."
