"I’m not joking you should all be shot!" (Response to Traditional Marriage Campaign in CA)
American TFP ^ | 9/5/2008 | John Ritchie

Posted on 09/06/2008 11:49:23 AM PDT by Pyro7480

Sept 1 - The First Campaign

Today we campaigned for traditional marriage at the Cal Expo in Sacramento. It was the busiest day of the fair.

We made several “Honk for Traditional Marriage” signs and displayed them at the fair entrance. Honks of all types filled the air.

The issue of same-sex “marriage” has divided the state down the middle. Even within the same vehicle, we got both thumbs up and thumbs down. Very few people are undecided or unsure where they stand.

But don’t expect civility from same-sex advocates. One woman approached a TFP volunteer and bluntly stated: “You should be killed for your opinion on marriage. I’m not joking you should all be shot.” A few other passing cars attempted to inflict harm.

A moving car launched a full coke can at Mr. Thomas Schneider and another car containing a group of screaming girls threw a cup of ice coffee at him as well. Fortunately, both flying objects missed our dedicated volunteers. Saint Joseph, our caravan patron, is indeed protecting us.

We’ve found Protestants who agree wholeheartedly with the Catholic Church’s teaching against homosexuality. A preacher we met at the fair who had a pro-traditional marriage booth was happy to meet us and appreciated the TFP flier: “This flier is the best flier on the subject I’ve seen yet.”

He added: “Catholics have a term called the Church militant. We (Protestants) need something like that too.”

A city bus driver came and said: “I need another stack of fliers because I gave out the last one I had.” Apparently, he made sure each passenger on his bus received a flier.

I want to thank all of you who are praying for us. We will need your continued prayers.

Saint Joseph, pray for us!

I truly hope things are better for you.

Much better, thanks. It was a matter of switching jobs and taking time to recover. It just took time. Thanks, again.

There are many American women in for a very rude awakening should this ever go down.

It’s a good thing that we clingy Bible-thumpers are the ones with all the guns.

Oh there will be a lot of stupid people who will turn in their guns if told to do so. Its programming. The government tells them to jump and they ask how high.

My Mom (who isn’t a gun owner but is anti gun) is one of those people.

I’m just glad she doesn’t have a key to my home cause she sure would turn them in!

Bring it, sister. I am undoubtedly better armed, and mentally prepared, for an armed confrontation than you are.

From the article: "I’m not joking you should all be shot."

At least there is an upside to all this. Perhaps liberals will re-think the idea of disarming themselves.

“One woman approached a TFP volunteer and bluntly stated: “You should be killed for your opinion on marriage. I’m not joking you should all be shot.”

I have told a few lefties who have said something similiar, “You had better be careful of what you want. Our side for the most part served in the military, hunt, own guns, and know how to defend our selves.”

They look at me and slither away including a La Raza punk a few weeks after 9/11.

These characters need to be careful of what they wish for- while age and injuries and ailments have transformed me from ripples and bulges to whipcord and wire, I can still hump a BAR all day long...

All in good time, I suppose. They're power base isn't strong enough yet; however, once they can implement that type of wholesale murder of their fellow citizens, they will.

BUMP.

I personally would love to take a hot poker to the creative team who made that “What if you couldn’t marry the one you love?” commercial. Politics aside, that thing is painful to watch.
