California Culture War Update

California Culture War Update

Summary: California Senator Pete Knight, author of Proposition 22 that bans the state from legalizing same-sex marriage, has filed a lawsuit against Governor "Gay" Davis for signing a fake marriage bill.

Traditional Values Coalition applauds the efforts of California Senator Pete Knight in suing Governor "Gay" Davis over his signing of AB 205. This new law grants marriage benefits to homosexuals-in clear violation of Proposition 22, passed by the voters in 2000. Prop. 22 defined marriage as a union of one man and one woman under state law. Knight announced his intention to sue Davis for violating Prop. 22 on September 22, 2003.

TVC's California legislative analyst Ben Lopez is encouraged by Knight's lawsuit. "The sanctity of marriage and the will of the people must be defended in court," said Lopez. "Senator Pete Knight's legal challenge to Governor Davis's signing of AB 205 is a ray of hope."

Lopez has written a detailed analysis of AB 205 and how it violates Prop. 22, and violates the rights of California businessmen. His analysis is posted on our web site: Analysis:

In related news, the Log Cabin Republicans (a homosexual group) in California has officially endorsed the candidacy of Arnold Schwarzenegger as the next governor of California. In a press release issued by the homosexual group, they noted that Schwarzenegger, "appeals across party lines and the ideological spectrum. His views on social issues put him squarely in the mainstream of California voters, and his tough fiscal policies are precisely what our state desperately needs."

On September 23, 2003, an 11-judge panel on the 9th Circuit Court in San Francisco overturned the three-judge panel that had sided with the ACLU to block the recall election scheduled for October 7th. The election is back on.

A major debate took place on the evening of September 24th in Sacramento between five of the leading contenders for California governor. The Washington Times covered the story the following day.

Through his newly-formed committee, Californians for Moral Government (CMG), TVC's Chairman Rev. Louis P. Sheldon, has been warning conservatives and Christians that Mr. Schwarzenegger has a long record of immoral behavior, is pro-abortion, and pro-homosexual. CMG is a division of TVC's Victory Fund.

CMG has recently launched a TV ad campaign describing the similarities between Gray Davis and Arnold Schwarzenegger. You can view the TV ad and get additional information on Schwarzenegger here.

I am not sure whether I would vote for Arnold or Tom. I realize voting for Tom might be a vote for Cruz, but Arnold is a liberal republican. I'm just glad I don't live in Californicate.

Lol, webber, good point. One wonders how the values and morals in California are going to be uplifted by Ahnold, who posed full frontal nude for Mappelthorpe, the "artist" who brought us the crucifix in the jar of urine. But there are suckers born every minute.

The saber rattling & the fear mongering & the doomsday prophecies are just the empty rhetoric of a system that is dying & refuses to go peacefully.

Can you expand on the concept of dying, and refusing to go peacefully, from personal experience?

I long for the good old days when we could storm the castle armed with torches, shovels, clubs, pitchforks, and LOTS of tar and feathers.

Most of the state government could vanish off the face of the earth tomorrow and I wouldn't miss 'em a bit. Especially Davis and Bustagroove.

I can. The conservative wing of the Republican party has been infiltrated by neocon Trostkyites who are just a little bit later to the party than their red diaper doper counterparts in the Democrat party.

But their intentions are the same: to subvert the principles this country was founded on by systematically chipping away at the foundations of the tenets of both parties. Lately, on the right the ever-hawkish neocons have found comfort in beating the drums of war in a pseudo-conservative fashion while at the same time attacking core social values of the constituency. That way they can appear to support a popular war while slowly attempting to steer the country to their intended goal. Which is Marxist socialism from the right.

Amalgamate party planks along populist and pluralistic moral relativism and PC group-think lines while brow beating and polarizing the die-hard holdouts to the last incarnation of the party platform and you have a sure-fire method to apply popularity as a means to marginalize those who didn't get the last "shut and and stop thinking" memo.

Antonio Gramsci, Carl Marx, Lenin, etc. should be quite proud of the fact that academics, elites, cultural icons, narcissists, and their lunkheaded fellow travelers have done so well with so little blood being shed.

In other words, shut up and sit down. Or else.

Why don't you become a spokesperson for the Republican Party? You are very articulate, and you hold nothing back which will give this GOP a "Spine" it hasn't had in a half-century or more, except during Ronald Reagan's Administration.

That's one of the nicest things I've been told on this board. Thanks.

The "spine" you speak of is actively being presented (quite well IMHO) by Tom McClintock in California. The problem is he is being marginalized by flighty party hacks who wouldn't know leadership if it bit them in the butt.

The problem isn't the parties, per se, but rather the leadership. They are like Ghandi, waiting to see where their people are flocking and then running in front of them to deliver them to their fate.

Hard choices and tough times don't sell to the peanut gallery when they can get everything they need at the counter.

Better to call this the last gasp of a dying breed and form up elsewhere. It happened in the late 1800's and it appears to be happening again.

Plus ca change. Plus c'est la meme chose.
