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.....

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.....

What color is the sky, from your cornfield?

If I would ever find myself in a state defending itself from gross perversion of reality (of the nature of Roe-v-Wade/Doe-v-Bolton and homophilliac "marriage") by arms, and you're one of those attempting to inflict your deconstruction of society there, I wouldn't hesitate.

That element that is trying to hang our party on the will of the religious right is the element that has scared the most people away from the party, not brought more into it. We need more inclusion in the party, or else the dems will be laughing all the way to the White House, and we'll have nobody to blame but ourselves.

Can't stand who? The salt of the earth Heartlander? Someone who believes that there is something fundamentally wrong with giving preferential status to a minority of people?

Do the other "95%" of the population not say anything to them because they are afraid they may get their teeth blasted out of their skulls for their insults?

Enquiring minds want to know...
