Manufacturing Outrage: How To Criminalize Victimless Crimes (via spreadmagazine) (via abbyjean) (via asprettyasasong)

And it’s partly liberals’ fault, isn’t it? I hate how we’ve ceded the moral values debate (though I think we’re gaining some ground on that).  And I hate how their limited government argument never seems to extend to interfere in people’s private, personal lives.

A list of things I find more immoral than consensual, sweaty man-on-man meat passion (not exhaustive):

• 47 million Americans without health care insurance and 25 million more with inadequate insurance.
• falsifying intelligence to start a war.
• unconstitutionally spying on law-abiding citizens
• firing people because they don’t share your political ideology.
• Congresspeople who won’t admit that the President was born in this country, despite iron-fucking-clad evidence proving it, simply because it’s politically expedient to wink-and-nudge the wingnut fringe of your flaccid, irrelevant political party.
• Jenga and the people who like to play it.
• Coldplay
• Ishtar
