I'm a liberal democrat, and support Prop 8. I've supported gay rights since I was a teenager, but over the past few years, I've had my eyes opened to the cold hard facts that the gay activists are more interested in grinding an axe against the religious, than any kind of equality. Today for example, reading comments to an article online, I read comments by gays waging the no on prop 8 battle online, shrilly excusing the attack against a man who was only handing out lawn signs outside of a church, by a gay man who tried to steal the signs. The comments included that the religious don't have rights, that they should get over it, and accept the fact that they would be challenged now at every turn and subject to derision. Those were the words of a person who is pickled in hatred, and a obsessive desire to persecute the religious. Not the words of an activist for civil rights, but a despot looking to trample the rights of others. I'd never expect a gay or lesbian to conform to a heterosexual norm, so why do so many of them demand that heterosexuals, especially religious heterosexuals, have to conform to theirs? Are they that blind to their own hypocrisy? Can't they understand that the religious have every right to protect their children, and raise them in their faith? So please understand that there are many of us who refuse to ignore what is little more than fascism, and a corruption of the gay rights movement. Our constitution and bill of rights are our protections. We've put up with the far right tampering with them, so we don't need the far left attempting to do the same. I've come to the conclusion that we can't afford another Clinton like presidency that will appoint judges who I've come to realize do not respect our rights and freedoms as much as seek to exploit them for their extremist agenda. I've decided to vote for a republican for the first time to prevent any further bleed to the left, and to punish my party for it's selling out the American people to the corporate and global elites.

Jenny, can I call you? Is your number 867-5309?
Just joking..........
Seriously, Jenny is an intellectually honest liberal. She doesn’t want to see the gay agenda being forced on society, though she wants all to have their individual rights. It seems to me that on this marriage issue, there is far more hatred coming from the left than the right. The conservatives do not hate the activists who are pushing same sex marriage. They disagree with it as a social policy, but don’t hate anyone. Whereas it sure sounds like all too often, that the activists/leftists are expressing hatred towards any who disagree with them.
This happens on other issues too. The left seems so angry about everything that they perceive that is wrong with America, that they have never ever considered all that is right with America, and how their lives are good precisely because of all that is good with America.
