[Don Joe]

When the debate devolves to "eliminate marriage", "dissolve the public schools" and "privatise the public highways" the debate has reached a point of no return.

Ah, you sensed it too. "DPwiener" is actually an "LPwiener" :)

[dpwiener]

many of the KKK's "core beliefs" were pretty much standard, normal, typical "orthodox" mainstream American "core beliefs".

No, the KKK's "core beliefs" were their bigotry against blacks (and Jews and Catholics and foreigners), and their willingness to enforce that bigotry. Many Americans may have exhibited varying degrees of bigotry, but the Klan was the extreme exemplification of such bigotry. That's why they wore those pointy little hats which hid their identities while they burned crosses and lynched blacks. That's why they are now held in such disrepute. And that's why bigoted attitudes which mirror the Ku Klux Klan's attitudes are justifiably viewed with such suspicion.

[concerned about politics]

The "homophobes" were right.
They've been vindicated.

privati[s]e the public highways

You seem to have a penchant for English rather than American spellings (the "s" in lieu of "z" appears regularly). Don't tell your clan.

How do you spell the public place in which go to watch movies? :)

[Technogeeb]

Marriage has always been defined as one man, one woman

Welcome to the new age of Orwell:

From

Merriam-Webster's definition of marriage

1 a (1) : the state of being united to a person of the opposite sex as husband or wife in a consensual and contractual relationship recognized by law (2) : the state of being united to a person of the same sex in a relationship like that of a traditional marriage

Well there's the right way, the wrong way and my way.

Actually my spelling is impeckabul, it's my typing skills that are kwestunabul.

Living roomz.

[TexasGunLover]

So it can be ignored like other inconvenient amendmnts?(sic)

Well you're right, we should just all give up and hang our heads and quit.

Or oh wait, I get it, you're just like the DIMRATS, the law doesn't mean anything so we should take matters into our own hands and do something against the law to stop them from doing something against the law. Yeah, that makes sense.

[TexasGunLover]

Even that won't fix it. The real problem is that the homosexual agenda needs to be rejected morally in this country, not just legally.

No argument there. But it will take both. The majority U.S. citizens already oppose same sex marriages (I've seen polls saying as high as 70%).

[petercooper]

I thought Newsom was gay? He talked about his wife yesterday

[TexasGunLover]

No it doesn't, all it requires is a congress that will stand up to the judiciary. I would not hold my breath waiting on the current crop of leaders to take a righteous stand on anything.

Actually, if the Supreme Court ruled a law passed by congress to be unconstitutional, all the congress could do is pout. An amendment would be the only way to stand up to the judiciary.

[TexasGunLover]

Or we could just have some enlightened conservative mayor in California start passing out concealed weapons permits to its citizens:)

Huh? I have a CHL and there's absolutely nothing it can do about this situation.

[MississippiMan]

Agree that we need the amendment post-haste.

Sorry...I guess that went over your head.

[TexasGunLover]

Sorry...I guess that went over your head.

Nope, but I don't find joking about using firearms in that manner funny.

[cwb]

Again...It has totally gone over your head. It's not about the "use" of firearms, dufus. It's a similar act of civil disobedience that others have been talking about for days. I'm sure the activist judges would have something to say (unlike, in this case) if a conservative mayor decided to forego California law and start issuing concealed weapons permits to anyone he wanted. Get it? Obviously not!

Sorry, it sure didn't. You're nonsensical posting doesn't give enough information to convey an analogy. Poor analogies can not convey meaning.

How sad that you're own anger at being unable to express a thought forces you to turn to name calling. I pray that you can find God and that he can bring peace and eliminate the hate from you heart. You have my prayers.

[imfleck]

I'm not too sure what President Bush can do at this point since this is a state matter.

[imfleck]

Yeah, why is SF going to have an 8.5 before the end of the month? Is it because G-d is going to rid the area of the infidels? Hmmm, I'm not sure G-d goes around punishing his children...

[PISANO]

Will some lawyer here explain HOW a MAYOR can IGNORE not only the STATUES outlawing gay marriage BUT THE CALIFORNIA Constitutional Amendment defining a marriage between one man and one women?

What good is a LAW and a Constitutional Amendment if they can be ignored with impunity? Lastly WHY doesn't the Governor send in state law enforcement officials to arrest those culpable? (i.e. the Mayor and those performing the ILLEGAL marriages)

[cwb]

Please...take your self-righteous "prayers for me" and put them somewhere else. I don't need a sermon from you. This analogy has been being made for days on both radio and TV. Maybe I did assume too much, but no more than you in thinking that I wanted others to use firearms against gays.
