With much still to be decided, the homosexual "marriage" debate reached new heights in 2004, starting with President Bush's State of the Union Address. "Activist judges ... have begun redefining marriage by court order, without regard for the will he people and their eqqqlected representatives," he said. "On an issue of such great consequence, the people's voice must be heard." A few weeks later, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ruled that homosexuals have a state constitutional right to "marry." Shortly thereafter, the mayor of San Francisco, in a particularly disturbing display of civil disobedience, began "marrying" homosexuals, an act a mayor in upstate New York quickly copied. As Mr. Bush forewarned, the public backlash against such reckless disregard for the legal process has been swift and politically brutal.

Yeah it most definitely cost them the Presidential election this year. When the Marriage definition amendment was put on the ballot in Ohio, hundreds of thousands of Evangical Christians voted for the first time and they overwhelmingly voted for the President.
That was the difference IMO.
Bingo -- Happy New Year, btw.
Happy new Year to you too sir....
Nope .. the gays will keep pushing for gay marriage and if the can't get it .. they will do everything to distroy it
The liberals don't seem to learn from experience, history, facts... why should they learn from this?
The people have voted NO! Americans do not want homosexual marriage. case closed. next! No need for more politics. Amend the constitution already! What's the big hold up??
If you want on/off the list let me know.
I find it interesting that they actually used the word 'homosexual' in the title/article. The media norm is to use 'gay' or 'same-sex' marriage. Makes it sound less repulsive.
- a trend back toward reality maybe? One day 'disordered' may be the more precise term...
We won the first real battle of hundreds to come.
The perverts in charge of the pushing the Gay Agenda in our schools, churches, government and areas like Gay Marriage will never give up.
The GIM, Gay Infected Mediots control many newspapers, tv and radio news rooms. Their constant output of garbage is incredible. That garbage is either pushing the Gay Agenda, lying about the Gay Agenda or trying to trash our President and those of us who voted for him.
Not enough of a debacle on the homosexuals.
Now the judges will order all the rights of marrige without the M in order to get around the amendments.
The judges believe they can hide behind their finger.
This will only make future amendments include prohibitions against civil unions. (which they should have included)
Good point! Lets see if the article continues to be posted with the proper term.
The Gay Agenda Pushing ACLU controls judges across the nation. These left wing ACLU judges are a clear and present danger and a future danger to Americans now and tomorrow.
The source of rank and file judges is lawyers trained in law schools with a groupthink bias to the pro-homo agenda.
It is not enough to attack the judiciary, we have to purge the law schools.
The professors at the law schools are card carrying ACLU/Lunatic Libs. They hate a strong America, families and what supports a strong company.
and the ACLU uses law school students as free labor, law clerks, and even uses law students as legal interns to make court appearances FOR CREDIT.
The ACLU must be removed from law schools. States which have lawyers regulated under the department of professional regulation can easily do this.
