Take up arms? Simply because two men or two women can marry in CIVIL (Note, not religious) ceremonies? Are we really going to fall into a civil war over that, I have a feeling you won't have a lot of comrades in arms.....

A nation so twisted to call homosexual relations a marriage is twisted enough to rewrite (wrongly) whatever it chooses in life. But of course, it is already so terribly twisted, in condoning the murder of millions of babies in the name of "reproductive" rights.

What is worse, the enslavement of millions, or the murder of millions plus the falsification of what is the fundamental buliding block of the society of all the living (marriage and family)?

It may come to taking up arms, if moralistic people choose to move to a state which would preserve moral sanity and this state is forced to do otherwise. That is feasible.

I think you may be unpleasantly surprised.

I regard civil war, or the fragmentation of the United States of America into two or three different nations as very small, very real possibilities.

You live in Florida, which along with the rest of the East and West Coast makes up the "progressive" (I would use a different word) portion of the United States -- the rest of the country, especially the Heartland, is very emotionally involved in this issue, and they don't like what they are hearing and reading.

By itself, Gay marriage may not be that significant of an issue, but in combination with others, it has the potential to be the final straw that breaks the camel's back.

Frist is talking about a Constitutional Amendment. There are two ways to do that, one involving a Constitutional Convention, and if that happens I won't make any bets on what comes out of it. But I don't think it will be pretty.

If it starts over this, I'll fight them and turn them in.

This is patently ridiculous. And I'm certainly not going to live in a Government formed if these yahoo take over.

No one I know would.

You know what the problem is?
We've got a group of people here who live in the middle of Iowa. They get up, go outside to the cornfield and look around and think : "Yep. This is how it is everywhere"

They have absolutely NO CLUE that 95% of the population can't stand them. (Even if they don't say it to their faces.)

Some lunatic here yesterday tried to tell me the Religious Right was 80% of the Republican vote.....
