And I bet she’s a good cook, too!

Something intrinsically strong, level headed and compassionate about her generation (born into a depression, came of age during a World War, raised the baby boom) that is missing from the younger generations that came after her.

Vera would be honored to buy Mrs. Wyoming a martini and drink to her health.

I do agree with the Republican party on a lot of issues. But we have to face the facts… most polls show that far more Democrats are supportive of gay marriage and/or civil rights (regardless of if you believe they should be law). Here in Ohio, every single bill introduced that is anti-gay is introduced by conservative Republicans. I’m not marginalizing at all, and I know there are Rebuplicans that could give two sh*ts about gay rights. It is just very difficult not to recognize the voting trends. Democrats being wusses does not really make them look good, however. And I imagine Bill Clinton initiated anti-gay legislation simply because it was popular.

Case in point — the Republicans aren’t all that popular now. So what do they do? Introduce a vote on the FMA, set in June if I recall correctly. It seems like it will be an easy “win” for them… just in time for building momentum for November. I’m curious as to see who supports what.

As for gay marriage. The whoe thing was cooked by the Gay Left and the Dems for the 2000 elections . Oddly , they have forgottne to tell everyone that that BJ Clinton and a majority of Dems signed off on the first anti gay marriage act in the 90s. Queen Hillary campaigned for the Senate on a anti -gay marriage platfrom! Where is the outraged about those FACTS from the left wing gay activists ! Yep, there just poorly disguised DNC operatives.

By the way, the gay marriage business in Mass and Vermont is REAL SLOW . Apparently, everyone heard how hard it was to get divorced real quick !

Unless we added a constitutional amendment that said otherwise. Such an amendment would be part of the constitution.

I’m confused.

Isn’t it already?

The same can be said for abortion as well. The Founding Fathers wanted the PEOPLE to have the final say in their respective states, NOT the federal government.

What I’m against is:

(a) all the other crap that the Gay Left groups stand for having truly nothing to do with gays/lesbians, and/or that veer into thought control; see #12 / #13; and

(b) in addition, I’m against gay-marriage-imposed-by-mere-judicial-fiat. I think gay-marriage-imposed-by-mere-judicial-fiat is an unsustainable proposition that will backlash on us badly. (In fact – It has.)

However, to be fair they must. Obviously I’m libertarian-leaning, but i understand it’s an idealistic political view. People will not let gays marry unless it’s part of law… that is why many states (and even the federal gov’t now) are making laws to restrict it, despite the fact that all those laws are obvious discrimination. No laws about any kind of marriage should be in the constitution and they shouldn’t be sanctioned by the gov’t at all. Marriage is a spritual, religious bond… and I don’t need my gov’t to acknowledge it.

Also, I don’t think sexual orientation should be specifically mentioned in civil code in terms of not discriminating against gays. But I think that entire code should be abolished. I’m not going to discriminate against old people, black people, dumb people, Mexican people, or Jewish people. Ideally, neither would anyone else — but they do. People say, “People choose to be gay.” Screw that! I choose my religion. I choose my US citizenship. Even if I wanted to cede that yes, people choose to be gay, then they also should not be discriminated for it.

None of this stuff should be in the law. I want the government out of my business. But the rest of the world doesn’t think like I do.

- imposition of gay marriage thoughout the country by judicial fiat;

- imposition of speech codes, hate crimes legislation, etc. throughout the country;

- An incredible amount of stuff that has absolutely nothing to do with being gay or lesbian – but is general left-wing stuff. Unrestricted abortion, tax increases, nationalized / socialized health care, nationalized / socialized industrial policy in the name of “environmentalism”, the defeat of U.S. foreign policy (as I mentioned), and much more.

What far-leftists in general want… namely:

- Socialism – a.k.a. the end of freedom; the enslavement of all-to-all.

- Thought control – e.g., speech codes and hate crimes legislation. The supreme reign of political correctness.

- America’s downfall or defeat in the War on Terror.

- “Equality” – meaning, the destruction or tearing down of anyone who is more successful, materially or personally, than them.

All 3 are easy to substantiate, but they can be summed up in one word: Power. The hard Left (gay or otherwise) wants a world where all others – e.g., true individualists, capitalists, Christians, and so forth – are answerable to them, or their bureaucrats.

To use gay rights as a means of getting what they want, rather than as an end in itself.

Also, saying that the ‘radical’ gay left employs too aggressive political tactics and comparing it to radical Islamists’ methods is kind of overboard.

Not in the least.

Remember, this is someone who openly bragged that HRC, LCR, and Democratic Party staffers were helping him do all of this. Indeed, this person has received numerous honors from the “gay community” for his actions, and just last week was a guest at (ironically) the national dinner of SLDN, which supposedly is AGAINST harassing and outing gays.

The people you mention are, , like gay leftists, using the “cause” as a means to be hateful, not an end. However, they are not the majority of pro-life activists; the hatemongering leftists, though, ARE the majority of “gay activists”.

That’s why the Islamic comparison is valid.

Gay Patriot reminds us that the thugocracy in Iran is not just attacking those of other religions….

If you thought that comparisons between Ahmadinejad and Hiter were far fetched, think again. He’s going down the same path that Hitler took Germany, and we know how well that ended up for everyone around the world….
