Rubbish to you, too.

First, I am a lot more likely to head out with a shotgun than a white flag.

Second, you are conflating "surrender" with acceptance of reality. I have accepted reality. The reality is that queer 'marriage' and its concomitant harassment of straights (e.g. Arlene's Flower Shop One mile from me) is LAW in my state -- it's not going back, short of major societal upheaval (war; natural disaster). Anyone who thinks it is is delusional. State after state is falling, with or without the concurrence of the voters.

Third, you have no idea of what I have done to "fight". This would include personally escaping from police pursuit after a certain "protest", and letters to the editor, and being harshly sanctioned at work for putting up a pro-family poster, etc., etc. The other people you're addressing probably have done similar things (excepting maybe, the pursuit). And, of course, the prayers. Lots of prayers, every day.

Finally, and most importantly, many of you refuse to believe that we are in the end times. The country, society, world, have been given over to the devil for a period of time. You can't change this, overall. Prayer and personal persuasion can still change an individual outcome (e.g. a woman considering going for an abortion), but to rid the country of evil -- or to go back to "normal" times -- isn't going to happen any time soon.

And my pastor already preaches against faggotry, but thanks for the suggestion. And my kids/grandkids have heard all about the issue, and probably wish I'd shut up about it.

They're coming for our children's bodies and souls, and we're bending over and saying, "Schtup me." Please. No more. Man up and fight.

This part is too asinine. I'm not going to respond to it.

Nope, you have waved the cheese eating surrender flag.

It is you who are spouting the rubbish.

[Mrs. Don-o]

Thank you.

You make excellent points.

To which I can only add that we face many more political fights in the near future, fights we may also lose if we refuse to learn from our failures. If we are strong enough to take an honest look at where we lost this one (even to admit that), we might be better prepared for the next.

Thank you - some of the zealots don't seem to believe that which their religion is supposed to be based on. God has spoken at it will be. I believe that they are unwittingly abetting Satan by spending so much time flailing at the evil they cannot conquer that they fail to spread the Word of the Gospel. I too fall into the trap, but fortunately, I have those around me to point out that He is in charge. My pastor simply says that homosexuality is called a sin in the Bible - it's here to stay until Jesus sets things right and we can arm ourselves against it on a personal level by following the Word and teaching our kids.

God Bless
