I call on all Obama supporters to consider immediately wearing clothes of mourning... a black arm band or a black shirt or some other article of black clothing - in a peaceful protest... not only against the feeling that the election has been or is being stolen...But in protest that in the year 2008 - when Technology is so (Read More)
: How about a call to action! "November 4th, 2008 a date that will live in infamy - the constitution was suddenly and deliberately attacked through lies and deceptions." Shout it, blog it, twitter it and podcast it. The blogosphere is mightier then the sword! You, sir, are mightier then the sword! Mourning is for the dead. Democracy isn't dying on my watch. (Sorry I have been watching a little too much Keith Olbermann.)
: In reading all the posted comments it appears that all the "experts" have had their say. Why haven't any of you stepped up to run for office if you're so darn smart? This is a country where the majority rules. And the majority for the last half of this sitting president's term has been trashed by the Democrats in Congress. Their pork barrel spending is bankrupting the country and you'd actually vote for more of them? Get a grip! Wake up and THINK for a change! Before the Dem's took over in the Congress there were LOTS of jobs and gas was really affordable. Now jobs are vanishing like the icebergs in the Arctic. (Maybe faster?) And gas is still WAY too expensive and I believe it's only lower than $3 per gallon until the election is over... and then, watch out! With the Socialists running Congress we're in for a REALLY rough road to travel. Our founding fathers would probably roll over in their graves if only they knew...

If you don’t know by now, Proposition 8 would eliminate the right of same-sex couples to legally marry. Proposition 8 proponents have refused to comment on whether they would actively seek to invalidate the marriages of those couples who have been united since same-sex marriage was legalized in California.

: Oh and Christiaan, if marriage is indeed not a political issue, please explain the founding of the Anglican Church, which was based squarely on a political dispute between Henry VIII and the Emperor of Spain and the Pope at the time? Please explain the many, many, many marriages of European royals for centuries? Please explain the institutions of dowries and the several thousand marriage rights granted by legal marriage to straight couples that Gay couples are denied? Please explain the need for civil marriage licenses? Which, let me remind you, is what is at stake here. None of these can be explained in religious terms. None of these can be found in any testament, gospel or bible. Your contention is a smoke screen. It is a deflection that panders to the less educated and the less knowledgeable to try to delude and cajole them into agreeing with your narrow, theocratic position. You actively practice political blasphemy in a society founded on the ideals of separation of church and state. Your position is only rivalled by that of Islamic fundamentalists in the world today.
Gays are not demanding that any religious body sanction our marriages. We are demanding that our government, the same government that takes our tax money, the same government that requires us to die for our country while keeping silent about our sexual orientation, the same government demands and enforces every single other law and statute on us as citizens, that THAT government also enforce the civil statute of marriage equally!
: @jasongoldberg Sorry was wasnt' meant to be directed towards you. don't know how that happened. Had too many things going on at the same time. Wasn't towards Leo either.
