The Foul Hypocrisy of Stephen Harper

I'm sure many of you have seen this YouTube video of Stephen Harper singing "Imagine" with little Maria Aragon.

It was weird and horrible. You could almost hear the voices in his head singing:

"Imagine if we had a MAJORITY."

"We could do what we WANTED."

*Shudder*

But believe it or not I found this video even CREEPIER...



To see Maria sing these lyrics:

Don't be a drag, just be a queen
Whether you're broke or evergreen
You're black, white, beige, chola descent
You're lebanese, you're orient...

No matter gay, straight or bi
lesbian, transgendered life
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born to survive

And see Stephen Harper sitting there smiling like a hyena, pretending he was half human, and agreed with what she was singing, was almost more than I could bear. Everyone has their limits eh?

When in fact that ghastly demagogue is stirring up the demons of racism and xenophobia...

That hideous homophobe has voted against EVERY bill designed to protect the rights of LGBT people, including the ones intended to protect them from hate crimes.

And he recently refused a request from Dan Savage to make an It Gets Better video to help fight bullying.

The PMO didn't even bother to reply.

What a ghastly hypocrite, what an awful man, what a creepy political pervert. Who would do ANYTHING to win a majority. Even take advantage of a child. Vomit.

Maria Aragon is a sweetie. Stephen Harper is a PIG.

Organize, unite, defeat him.

Make Canada clean again...

Little Maria, Ellen, and the Missing Lyrics

The other day I told you the story of 10-year-old Maria Aragon from Toronto, who became an YouTube star after singing Lady Gaga's new song Born this Way.

And was blessed by the great Gaga herself.

It's so good, in fact, that it made Gaga tear up with emotion. She tweeted: "Can't stop crying watching this. This is why I make music. She is the future."

And how I also thought her video was fabulous.

And deserves the more than eleven MILLION views it has received so far. 

Until I learned she had left out these lines:

No matter gay, straight or bi
lesbian, transgendered life
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born to survive

Then I was disappointed. And sad. 

I mean that could only happen to gay people eh? Being left out of the so-called gay anthem. And too bad more than eleven million people didn't get to hear that message. Because so many need to hear it. 

But today Maria performed the song on the Ellen Show.

This time with ALL the lyrics...



And now I forgive her.

Children only do what adults tell them. She IS fabulous. So are we.

And the future WILL be better...
