Gay marriage passed in Maine and Maryland. Close in Washington and Minnesota.
CO voted to legalize weed. Washington too.
It will be a problem for you when the drug cartels move in to eliminate the competition.
Actually, why should not be churches and non profits be taxed? If my entity is taxed half of my income, why isn’t anyone else? Churches, especially black churches, have become political organizations. I say either tax ALL churches/mosques/temples or do not tax anything at all.
Denver Post (54-46 percent in favor)

Can't argue with that. G'nite, all.
How sickening it us to read a poster on a supposedly conservative forum fantasuze about a federal jackboot locking someone up for practicing a vice in accordance with state law which the Constitution provides absolutely no power to outlaw.

Um, what? You do realize drug cartels are the result of prohibition, don’t you? There’s no mention of shootouts amongst the cola cartels with legal companies like Coke and Pepsin (though with Bloomberg who knows?).
They can it whatever they want to, but two men having anal sex does not make a marriage.

well of all the positions we typically associate with liberals, I personally agree that pot should be decriminalized... along with all other drugs. There is a very solid argument against the “war on drugs”... the first one being, it’s not working and it never will. It also costs us billions of dollars, it strips individual rights, paves a path for law enforcement to steal private property, execute midnight smash and grab warrant that get people killed, it’s also a good excuse to expand things like the patriot act and TSA... all in the name of prohibition that we know damn good and well doesn’t work. The drug lords love us for it. The only persons who should have the ability to prohibit drug use are private property owners.. and of course, employers who need sober employees
You didn’t want me to cast a vote for Romney? Believe me I didn’t want to either.
See that is your problem fool. It is NOT legal.
Go watch reruns of Ron & Rand. It will cheer you up.
A majority of Americans voted for a lawless government and a lawless nation tonight. The rule of law and the Constitution are meaningless now. The FedMob no longer has any legitimate authority.
A gay man?
Bully for Colorado and Washington. Maryland and Maine, on the other hand, can pound sand.
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
These people don't care about marriage. It's an attack on the Church and traditional values.
Marriage in my eyes is between God and the two who get married which is man and woman. But there have been so called liberal churches that would marry same sex couples.
The had civil unions but NO, they just had to make a law for gay marriage so they can spit at the cross of our God. That's all they wanted.
Next they will be trying to force the churches to allow gay pastors, priests...etc.
That’s quite all right, unless you’re running a “family values” centered business, and you’re forced to do something for a gay wedding because you don’t fall under the exemption for religious organizations.
“One thing I know: legalized pot and gay marriage has ZERO effect on my life and livelihood. If we sacrificed votes for opposing that, we failed. This country is at an economic abyss and I couldn’t give a damn about pot and gay issues.”
Yes, but gay marriage makes God angry so there.
“God will judge us for these choices”
God pays special attention to US elections. However, I can’t help feeling He knew the outcome beforehand. So, at least He wasn’t surprised.
