Words Matter

...at least until they don't. 

Remember, right now a lot of you are pissed because the President uses inflammatory language and stuff. 

So what happens if somebody else uses "inflammatory language"?

What if somebody happens to be a Republican and uses sexist and homophobic language to describe fellow members?

Well, if you are Democrat in the El Paso Delegation apparently you forgive and forget?

Here is what the Texas LGBTQ Caucus, of which Mary Gonzalez is a member, had to say about it:

Really.

Let me be clear, I do not care what the Speaker said.  

But I do find it funny that when Norma Chavez had said something to say about my ex-girlfriend's taste in women everybody in El Paso took Norma Chavez to the woodshed. 

Rich, wealthy and white Republican says something, and it is "wait and see".

So why "wait and see"?

Because maybe if you are a Democrat on the Speaker's team, like Joe Moody and Mary Gonzalez, maybe you do not want to rush to condemn the Speaker because maybe you are not entirely too confident in your party's chances to take back the Texas House so you play it safe. 

Again, it is funny. 

Norma Chavez made no bones about why she supported a Republican Speaker.  She wanted a seat at the table. 

These folks? 

They want you to think they are achieving some higher purpose, but they are just as calculating as Norma.  

Only difference...Norma got bad press for it.

We could use a national normal day. You don't actually have to do anything. You just get up in the morning and go about your business and don't make a big issue about how different or stigmatised you are or what a victim you are. You're just a human being like the rest of us.

[So What]

Politicians are all two-faced liars. Regardless of beliefs, party, votes, etc. They will do anything to stay in power. So if Moody and Gonzalez decide its in their best interests to look the other way -oh well. No one will remember next week that they did that.

JerryK is right. One day I hope to wake up and read online papers, print and social media nothing but happy stories and good news. Yeah - right - will never happen in what lifetime I have left.
