‘Some Key Excerpts From the Proposition 8 Ruling’

This is an emotional outburst, not a ‘ruling’.

Is polygamy now legal? Or is this judge being selective with his baseless fiat?

The divorce rate among Americans is estimated to be between 40% - 50%

That's a canard, because that statistic is heavily skewed by serial divorces. The fact is that about 80% of first marriages do succeed for life. It's the people that get divorced two or three times that are responsible for the divorce rate being so high.

As I stated before, if ‘gay marriage’ becomes the law of the land, being forced even here in Texas, I’ll totally and 100% support secession. America will be dead for all practical purposes, and deserve destruction.

What is ridiculous about all of this is that the judge is completely missing the point - this is not an "equal protection" issue, it is a DEFINITIONAL issue. The word "marriage" has a specific meaning that has been perfectly clear throughout history. And that clear meaning just simply does not include any arrangement other than a man and a woman.

To try to argue otherwise is similar to an apple being upset that it is not an orange, therefore we decide to call every type of fruit (no pun intended) an orange in order to extend "equal protection." Absurd.

A single judge overturned the will of the people expressed once through the CA legislature and finally via the direct will of the people.

However, the reality is that there is no legitimate argument that outlines why same-sex marriage should be banned.

That is the author's opinion and it is irrelevant. Tens of millions of people spoke twice. Our Constitution has been turned on its head. We are no longer a self governing people.

We live in a judicial tyranny - Mark Levin.

The tyrannical judge just tossed another log on the fire of resistance.

I'll give you three...

How about: because the people want it that way?

How about: "Separation of Church and State"?

How about: There is no "right to marry" for anyone?

The idiot who wrote the article is no Conservative at all. Anyone who wants to flush the sanctity of marriage down the toilet and embrace wholesale perversion, is at best a Libertarian or RINO. I’m so sick of people pretending to be Conservatives when they aren’t. Another disgusting example is militant homosexual activist Andrew Sullivan who absurdly labels himself a ‘Conservative’. Give me a break.

A power grab by the ruling-class over the people is certainly a loss for/of America.

“Another interesting twist to the story is the man who made the decision, Chief U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker, is himself gay”....

Interesting twist?.....

It’s a hell of a lot more than an interesting twist!...Its about a judge who ruled against the will of the people so he can eventually marry his butt buddy!....What a mile high pile of crap!

Why post crap like this? So you have to go line by line spanking the glaring weaknesses in the argument?
It just tells me everyone has an opinion but just because they do, it doesn’t mean the opinion is worth squat. This guy is proud of not thinking. I feel sorry for the guy.

Here is a situation that all taxpayers will question: An 80 year old retired fireman receiving a pension for 25 years. When he dies, his wife, if still alive, receives about 90-95% of that pension until she dies, then it’s done. Now at 80 years old, he divorces his current wife and marries his 18 year old great-grandson. If he lives for at least 1 year and then dies in the future, this young man will get the pension for the rest of his life. I guess some would call that a scam, but, hey- maybe it’s true love.

Overturned Same-Sex Marriage Ban is a Win for Freedom

Well I'd like to marry two women. What about me? You're telling me two men can marry but I can't marry two women?

It may be a ‘win’ for freedom, but it is a definite loss for those of us who are totally, completely, and utterly creeped out by deviant, sick, and utterly depraved behavior.

Gays always have and always will turn my stomach. There is no law, no judicial ruling, and no court order that can EVER make me accept them.

“Overturned Same-Sex Marriage Ban is a Win for Freedom”
No, it is a win for evil. It is opening the door for polygamists and pedophiles to become legitimate on the same grounds as the queers. It is also a win for evil because the will of the people was ignored and a decree from a single unelected individual took its place. There is no good in this.
