The Amendment, Part 2

What do you get when you cross Last Gaspers with Bible Bigots?  The passage of a repressive constitutional amendment.

Let's clarify the terms.  Last Gaspers are people who can't stand the idea of

a black president
a gay teacher
a Latino mayor
a female boss
and
an Asian doctor.

Bible Bigots are people who can't stand homosexuality.

These 2 groups joined forces on Tuesday in North Carolina to deny civil rights to fellow citizens.  They are precisely the people who Barack Obama accurately decried 4 years ago as voters who "cling to guns or religion or"--and this part isn't often quoted--"antipathy to people who aren't like them."

They're a dangerous combination, these Last Gaspers and Bible Bigots, and they'll leave destruction in their wake as they go down.  For go down they will, for they stand in the way of justice.
