Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger ordered California's attorney general Friday to take legal action to stop San Francisco from granting marriage licenses to gay couples.

In a letter to Attorney General Bill Lockyer, Schwarzenegger directed the state's top lawyer "to take immediate steps" to get a definitive court ruling declaring what the city is doing to be illegal.

Arny said "boo" will the libs jump??

did he go to the convention??

Looks like the Terminator is living up to his name and the farce in San Francisco will be terminated. For how long is anybody's guess. In another generation or two, or less, the battle may have a different outcome. Little minds are being programmed. Heather is going to agitate that her two mommies can get married. Heather is going to agitate that the two daddies who left the two mommies for each other can get married. Oh they look so happy! Let's party!

...WHY is California Att. General LOCKYEAR (D) saying that it will take months for his office to decide whether or not file against the 9th Circuit's violating procedures in the multiple-killer KEVIN COOPER Death Penalty Case..?

San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom, who directed the county clerk to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples last week

Why does a city official have power over a county official?

Homosexual Agenda Ping.

Arnold steps up to the plate.

Let me know if anyone wants on/off this ping list. (It is a very busy one of late!)

Just for the record, here is what homosexual activists and spokespeople have said about "gay" marriage:

"Homosexual activist Michelangelo Signorile, who writes periodically for The New York Times, summarizes the agenda in OUT magazine (Dec/Jan 1994):

"A middle ground might be to fight for same-sex marriage and its benefits and then, once granted, redefine the institution of marriage completely, to demand the right to marry not as a way of adhering to society's moral codes, but rather to debunk a myth and radically alter an archaic institution... The most subversive action lesbian and gay men can undertake --and one that would perhaps benefit all of society--is to transform the notion of family entirely." "Its the final tool with which to dismantle all sodomy statues, get education about homosexuality and AIDS into the public schools and in short to usher in a sea change in how society views and treats us."

Chris Crain, the editor of the Washington Blade has stated that all homosexual activists should fight for the legalization of same-sex marriage as a way of gaining passage of federal anti-discrimination laws that will provide homosexuals with federal protection for their chosen lifestyle.
Crain writes: "...any leader of any gay rights organization who is not prepared to throw the bulk of their efforts right now into the fight for marriage is squandering resources and doesn't deserve the position." (Washington Blade, August, 2003).

Andrew Sullivan, a homosexual activist writing in his book, Virtually Normal, says that once same-sex marriage is legalized, heterosexuals will have to develop a greater "understanding of the need for extramarital outlets between two men than between a man and a woman." He notes: "The truth is, homosexuals are not entirely normal; and to flatten their varied and complicated lives into a single, moralistic model is to miss what is essential and exhilarating about their otherness." (Sullivan, Virtually Normal, pp. 202-203)

Paula Ettelbrick, a law professor and homosexual activist has said: "Being queer is more than setting up house, sleeping with a person of the same gender, and seeking state approval for doing so. . Being queer means pushing the parameters of sex, sexuality, and family; and in the process, transforming the very fabric of society. . We must keep our eyes on the goals of providing true alternatives to marriage and of radically reordering society's view of reality." (partially quoted in "Beyond Gay Marriage," Stanley Kurtz, The Weekly Standard, August 4, 2003)

Evan Wolfson has stated: "Isn't having the law pretend that there is only one family model that works (let alone exists) a lie? . marriage is not just about procreation-indeed is not necessarily about procreation at all. "(quoted in "What Marriage Is For," by Maggie Gallagher, The Weekly Standard, August 11, 2003)

Mitchel Raphael, editor of the Canadian homosexual magazine Fab, says: "Ambiguity is a good word for the feeling among gays about marriage. I'd be for marriage if I thought gay people would challenge and change the institution and not buy into the traditional meaning of 'till death do us part' and monogamy forever. We should be Oscar Wildes and not like everyone else watching the play." (quoted in "Now Free To Marry, Canada's Gays Say, 'Do I?'" by Clifford Krauss, The New York Times, August 31, 2003)

1972 Gay Rights Platform Demands: "Repeal of all legislative provisions that restrict the sex or number of persons entering into a marriage unit."
[Another demand was the elimination of all age of consent laws.]

It's time to make an example of Newsom, he ignored the will of the people of California and now it's time for him to face justice for breaking the very laws he swore to uphold.

Newsom had is day in the Sun, now it's time for him to spend lots of time in the dark confines of a jail cell

[My Dog Likes Me]

Ahnold should assign S.F. Inpector "Dirty Harry" Callahan to this case!

In all seriousness, I respect the governor for finally taking strong action. The whole scene at S.F. city hall looks very weird as it is played again & again on the evening news each night the past week.

[A CA Guy]

I was waiting to see how long it would take you to ask the governor to act. Heavens, nothing in California ever seems to move without your intervention except earthquakes.

Here's a copy of my E-Mail:

Honorable Governor Schwarzenneger:

Thank you for taking a principled stand for ordering a halt to the disgusting proceedings in San Francisco.

Respectfully,

[cinnathepoet]

Why does this not surprise me?

[<1/1,000,000th%]

Why not just arrest the Mayor?
