California State Senator Tom McClintock will be on with Michael Savage at 5:30PM PST and then on the O'Reilly Factor to discuss the marriage licenses being issued in SF.
This is clearly a planned act of civil disobedience in a long tradition of Slave Party capriciousness: When the law doesn't suit them, they use force, especially the courts (which is why an arrest and forcible closing of the courthouse is the appropriate response).
If this goes too far without a halt, we will have thousands of "married couples" suddenly stripped of their bogus validation. There will be interviews of the distraught couples, extended coverage of general mayhem, likely suicides, and interviews of mean spirited conservatives, heartless about the suffering...
When these licenses are invalidated, you can bet upon the high likelihood of a riot in San Francisco (I would be surprised if one was not already planned). Anybody who doesn't believe that doesn't know these people very well (or communists either), and has a poor knowledge of the way Germany convulsed when the Brown Shirts were cut loose. Gay activists will go to ANY length, including violence, to get what they want.
The cry will go up, 'This is what happens when you deny couples their civil rights' (as if couples have unalienable rights). Judges will deliberate and delay, there will be appeals, and once the State courts are done, the issue will go Federal on a 14th Amendment claim of "equal protection," all the time the lines of anxious couples in San Francisco will still be served because the Ninth Circuit will want it that way... and look who sits on the SCOTUS ready to twist the knife, but the same Republican thugs in black robes who cited international law or "compelling State interest" when the Constitution didn't suit their intentions. Anybody who thinks that a Supreme Court, willing to invalidate a Texas sodomy law on such flimsy grounds, won't rule on gay marriage, is smoking something.
This is what happens to a society that coddles homosexuals. Their agenda never was about what two consenting adults do in private. They DON'T keep to themselves and keep their sexuality a private matter. They DEMAND special deference for their disgusting public behavior and crave eventual access to minors over the objections of their parents. Anybody who thinks that this isn't about controlling how the next generation grows up had better get a grip. We're in for a long fight and it could well get serious.
If a poll shows that "popular" opinion doesn't agree with a law, they can refuse to abide by it. They think their polling gives them the right to disobey any law they don't like.
The Governor should crack down on the SF mayor hard. This has to end before it gets started (Barney Fife would say "nip it in the bud"). I thought O'Reilly had to prod Mr. McClintock to say that he would jail the mayor.
I'm assuming it's like collecting first day issue stamps, first edition books or being somewhere on opening night. Most of these people, I suspect, just want to say they "got married when it was illegal in California". What have they got to lose? In fact, I bet they'll both fight over who gets to keep the copy of the marriage certificate when they fall out.
Tell them they are free to sue the mayor (if they are.)
Huh? Its all I've heard for 24/7. Throw the lawbreakers in jail.
O'Reilly asked him if he'd have the mayor arrested. McClintok, instead of answering yes or no, avoided answering the question by going into a long explaination of who had to do what in the state. O'Reilly asked him a second time with similar results.
My take was that he WOULDN'T do anything either, and just didn't want to admit it. We could not come away with any other conclusion. At least the lib didn't dodge the quwstions.
It seemed all upside down, a conservative dodging and weaving, and a lib giving straight answers.
(Just kidding)
Right here, though I think it's pretty vile to be referring to other freepers as "kneepad" rhino's. I wouldn't have thought manners and polite discourse to be expecting too much from a conservative forum?
Sending in the troops over a matter already being challenged in court would be a politically idiotic thing to do. BTW, McClintock wouldn't have won. It was Schwarzenegger or Bustamante... Bustamante would encourage ALL MAYORS to follow San Francisco's lead.
You're welcome.
I would be satisfied with a leader who's choice of action fell somewhere between declaring he's "troubled" and pitching the mayor in jail.
The media would have an absolute FIELD DAY if McC were to say that, and would play right into to homosexual lobbies hands.
I'd say calling other FReepers "Tomikazes" is at least as bad. Probably worse.
Don't worry. I'm not holding my breath.
Yep... the press would have made us look like the Taliban... just what we need the year of a Presidential election with America already at a cultural crossroads and national security crisis :-(
Time to move on. With all due respect, you're at risk of becoming a parody of yourself.
Exactly! This is, or at least has been, a conservative forum and you are in the wrong place if you defended the rhino Ahhnold. All the Conservatives in this so called forum knew what they were doing and here it is coming home to roost. LIBERAL SOCIAL POLICIES.
Exactly what the true conservatives predicted. GAY RIGHTS UNDER AHHHNOLD
What's to stop someone who feels that they want to drive in the diamond lane even though they are the only one in the car?
You know we pay these legislators too much money if they don't have the stomach to enforce the laws that the people passed. For example: PROP 22, or PROP 307.
What the hell, why should we obey their stupid laws?
They ignore illegal aliens breaking and entering into our country. They are ignoring the fact that not only are they here illegally but driving unlicensed, uninsured, and unable to read traffic signs. Now just because some arrogant bastard of a major thinks it's cool to hand out marriage licenses to same sex mates and stick his middle finger up everyone's ars...er ah nose, well, what the heck are laws for if no one is left to play the game.
I for one can think of a lot of stupid laws that violate my "Constitutional rights" like paying taxes so that these scumbag politicians can screw around.
