Hyberbole Is Fun!

Seriously, hyperbole is a blast! It's even more fun when combined with blatant lies. For example, when discussing their stance, the group Alliance For Marriage Foundation (well, in truth they mean marriage inequality, but that doesn't have the same ring to it) started a new website called Protect DOMA (not link provided, don't really care to do so) which is designed to fight Obama's pledge to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). On said website is the following quip:


The Alliance for Marriage Foundation will work to continue to expand our education and mobilization efforts - especially within the Latino community - so that both marriage and freedom of conscience will remain protected in our nation.


The prize in this historic struggle is nothing less than the future of our children and grandchildren.

Ah, sweet, sweet hyperbole. "Marriage and freedom of conscience." "Future of our children and grandchildren." Classics! If you only lie and make it sound dramatic enough, you'll convince the populace at large that your side is correct! Brilliant!

Lets try some of our own:

I'm Just Gaying will work to educate the electorate and, indeed, the entire galaxy of the utmost importance of freedoms. We continue to fight not just for equality, but for the very freedoms to breathe and smile and laugh, as our opponents would seek to take away from us!

This fight is so important, because if we do not win all of over kittens will keel over immediately and the sun will be blotted from the sky as all the color us queers provide will be drained from the world!!!!!11! ZOMG!
See, isn't that fun! I think I'm going to start practicing a daily hyperbole from here on out.
