Homosexual Agenda Ping and *RANT*.
Well, I can't avoid it anymore. I have to ping this bad news out. I (perhaps naively) thought this would pass the House. Yet another VERY glaring example of how the elites in DC - many of them with an "R" after their names - are not actually representing the interests and values of the majority of the American people.
Just take a look at the state wide referendums (referenda?) protecting marriage from the travesty of same sex "marriage" - they've all passed by a mind boggling overwhelming majority. Look at LA, MI, and even OR may pass it. Yet the elites in Washington DC want to lead us into the rosy future of hedonistic, amoral, values free (except for their socialist, inverted, Nazi-esque "values") utopia.
Which will be a hell on earth, as all Utopias turn out to be. Replete with Jack Booted Thugs, re-education camps, children raised by the state, and all.
Our problem (as conservatives; some of us, anyway) is that we don't want to face the fact that Evil with a capital "E" does exist, and is alive and well in the leftist agenda and those who subscribe to it; whether they be movers and shakers or useful idiots. That's one of the tragedies - useful idiots who are once innocent but stupid become Evil once they join the ranks of Evil.
If we want Evil to win, we just need to keep on being silent, going along to get along, not speaking up, not writing letters to the editor, not running for office, not prosecuting Evil, acquiescing to it because "it's not that bad yet", not Freeping, not picketing, not protesting our representatives when they prove themselves to be d**kless and feckless, not expressing outrage or demanding recourse when leftists play dirty tricks, not funding those who are doing good in the world, and not doing it ourselves.
If we want our side to prevail, we have to be willing to make sacrifices - of our time, our money, our comfy security in the form even of losing jobs, losing friends, losing relatives.
If we don't do the above, we deserve whatever we get.
Let me and Scripter know if anyone wants on/off this pinglist.
Just more evidence that we can't depend on our elected officials to speak for us. When this issue is brought to WE THE PEOPLE, 'gay marriage' is rejected over and over again. When we give power to the Elite, we lose.
I've already lost friends, and put my job in jeopardy over our organization:

But it doesn't bother me in the least. What's done for Him is what lasts...
It was, however, meant to force our congressional representatives to declare a stand on the issue one way or the other.
The declaration of many of the republicans who voted against the ammendment will not play well when they come up for re-election, thus creating an opening for a more conservative candidate. This scenario may also hold true for many of the democrats who voted against the ammendment.
So don't "throw in the towel" yet, Jeremiah !
