For whatever it's worth, the referendum I voted for in Georgia was not, strictly speaking, a "ban"- it was an affirmation of marriage as being a union of a man and a woman.

This may be splitting hairs, but I note the ever-increasing whine from the Left is that these referendums were "bans!" and get the sense that they feel like some inalienable right was snatched away from them, just as they were about to achieve it.

Isn't that funny how so many things today are being embrassed as their "right." So many things are being touted as "their right." But, I wish someone would point out to me where it says so in the Constitution or the Bill of Rights. Marriage is not a constitutional right. It is a holy blessing from God, which has been overtaken by the Law. The Law could say that homosexuals are married but it would NOT be blessed by God.

I think that uttering or penning the words "Gay "Marriage" Ban or MANDATE or overturn Roe v. Wade all have the same effect on the DUmmies we know & love...

-that's a good thing; as they meltdown and fragment we enact and consolidate...

An outstanding post on how the Left seeks to wage it's usual propaganda war, along with the required emotional element.

As Limbaugh never tires of pointing out, they always make their appeals based on an emotional element because the facts won't support their positions.
