Proposition 8 looks to have passed in California, writing discrimination into the state’s constitution. Needless to say, that is incredibly disappointing to many people (of which I am one). Gays and lesbians were told that, once again, they are second class citizens. It’s fine for gays and lesbians to pay the (Read More)

: And the nation takes one step forward, two back. As a gay man I just don't understand why the government (Supreme Court) is unable to take a stand on blatent discrimination. I do not believe in forcing a church/religious organisation to 'accept' or perform marriages. I DO believe EVERY marriage/state approved union should be overseen by a state official. If you want to have a religious ceremony, fine. But we should not allow ordained persons to act in lieu of state officials. We, too, will overcome someday.
: I was overwhelmed when I heard of the new on Prop 8. I agree, one step forward, two steps back. It makes no sense to me why this should even be an issue. What does it matter to anyone else? Really? Why should I be affected by the marriage of two individuals who are in love? Andrew Sullivan had a great point, and if you're not aware of him please, please go to his blog - one of the largest on the web, an originator of the medium. He said that it's quite interesting how conservatives are so against the issue of same-sex marriage (he himself is a conservative, and a homosexual), because taking the leap forward to marriage, and making a commitment to another person, man or woman, same sex or not, is very conservative. You would think that the party would be in favor of such a act. But we find that it's quite the opposite. Again, the dark maniacal shadows of religion lure over us as a nation, and will constantly divide the reasonable minds of humility, with the fearful minds of the faithful.
Mashable!
We’re in the final 72 hours of the presidential campaign in the US, which many in the press and the blog space regard as one of the most contentious and captivating of any in recent history.Yes, now is when fevers climb; voters arrange their car pools; a torrent of advertisements floods the ocean of marketing already in pla (Read More)

: Palin 2012, I can't wait for her to clean up the mess Obama and his socialist, code word Progressive; welfare state will create in the US.
The Congress lead by Reid and Pelosi with Obama will run rampant with big government, high taxes, and regulations while taking our rights away one at a time. We can join France in a world of elitist snobs in the good fight against capitalist and freedom while China and Russia win the heart and sole of the world with their Marxist and Lenin need to dominate. America the great is doomed to become mediocre at best. Who can the liberals blame with the republican conservatives out of the way? It will be us the individuals because we did not give enough to support the government mandates of tax and spend. It never ceases to amaze how governent spending is never equated to the fact the money for the endless programs that spin off huge inefficient bureaucracies is taken from those who work to provide the jobs that produce the capital.
Just think of the possibilities, open borders with hordes of illegal aliens to choke our schools, medical facilities, social programs and loss of national identity. An abortion clinic to kill the unborn on every corner, no more executions of the serial killers because life is sacred if you or one of the lucky ones to survive an abortion. Our Gay population will be able to be married by law in our formerly sacred institutions of worship because of a US law that will now control our morality by editing our Holy Bible to fit what our governments considers politically correct.
The next most protected group will be the peace loving Muslims who will be given tax supported Madras schools to teach the words of Allah, “ convert to Islam or die by the sword” with one other alternative to death or conversion being subjugation by paying atribute tax as a safur. Just when we thought the Muslims are finished we find that we or now under the Shari law. Finally our women can be put back in their place and stoned to death as punishment for being raped comes to mind. Or as Ann Coulter said if only they would stop killing us to prove how much they love peace.
But wait, there is more good news. Finally we can appoint those activist Judges who finally impose their will on the ignorant masses who had put their faith in the US Constitution and Bill of Rights that those poor uninformed founding fathers put in place as a noose around the necks of us the truly liberated. We should never be trusted to exercise free will when our government can do it for us so much better.
Finally we can have freedom of speech when Rush Limbaugh, Shawn Hannity, Michael Savage, and Mark Levine with are outlawed in favor of the more enlightened Al Gore.
The days of a country that held language, borders and culture as a meaningful unifying factor can be quickly be disassembled in favor of a true open society to pursue its own self interest as long as it meets with the approval of the politically correct philosophy of our all knowing government. Thank you Mr. Savage for platform of Language, Borders, and Culture, if only we had listened to you..
