GFY: Rick Santorum

I, on occasion, have been known to tell people to go fuck themselves.

I’m not proud of it. It’s not the most intelligent way to express disgust with someones statements or actions but for me, personally, it has just the amount of venom in it that I stand by it. Sometimes people need to be told “Go fuck yourself.” because perhaps they aren’t truly aware of the idiocy that they currently are spewing.

A lot of hub-bub has been kicked up after President Obama took his wife out to a Play in NYC. The right wing lost their minds at the concept that the President would spend “Tax payers money” in order to go have a night with his wife. I have been silent on this subject because I didn’t really think it necessary to speak on it. I have no problem with this. 

“But Elon! He’s wasting money!”

Listen. I’ll say this in the simplest way I can think of. The man is the goddamn President. He gets death threats all the fucking time. If he decides sometimes that since he has all the responsibility and the stress of being President that he wants to enjoy some of the perks, THEN LET THE MAN WORK. Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with people?

But I just caught this particular piece of info from THINKPOGRESS.ORG

Monday night , June 1st, on Fox News, former Pennsylvania Republican senator Rick Santorumjumped on a popular right-wing meme and criticized President Obama for taking his wife on a date to New York City for dinner and a Broadway show. Santorum said that Obama is a “role model…whether he likes it or not, in the African-American community.” He then told Obama to act like a role model and…take his wife “down to the corner bar and have a drink, a shot and a beer”:

And you have an African-American community, particularly in the poor inner city areas, we’re looking at out of wedlock birthrates in three quarters to 75 percent (sic) of children being born out of wedlock.Marriage is an institution that’s a bridge too far for too many African-American woman and is not desirable among African-American males.

Here we have a president of the United States who says that marriage is cool. You have respect for your wife, and you treat her with the respect and dignity that she deserves. And she is part of this team. And it’s not just part of professional team, but it’s also part of a personal, romantic team. I think that’s all great. So I think it’s important that he keeps having his date night. [...]

I think he has to realize that flying to New York is…self-indulgent. Go down to the corner bar and have a drink, a shot and a beer. It does not matter where you go with your wife, is that it’s with your wife.

Ahem. Hey Rick Santorum? GO FUCK YOURSELF. Are you kidding me? Are you trying to explain how the first Black President of the United States can be a role model for Black people? Seriously? Is this whats occurring? Am I in a dream land? I’m pretty sure I’m not smoking crack (I have lost some weight) and I’m not even drinking. What would make you think this is some how with in your realm of expertise? How does your anger with a plane ride equate to random judgment on the black community?  My head is literally detonating. You sir, are an asshole. Never, EVER speak of how the Black President should model himself for black people. Hell, never speak on anything. Wasn’t you the one who tried to get “Intelligent Design” into schools? Didn’t you get your ass handed to you by Casey in the 2006 election?  

Someone kick this dude in the shin if you see him. Say it’s from Elon James White and I’ll gladly bake you a plate of cookies.
