Your defense of marriage and the rule of law was marvelous. Your opponent appears to be banned. Your attempts to get her to understand the legal, moral, and societal impact of this travesty were wasted on her but no doubt helped the rest of us refine our own stands on the issue.
I really wonder how much more we’ll take. I still believe most people are moral and at least marginally conservative. At what point will we push back?
Awwwww, what a shame! And her giggling schoolgirl tactics were working so well, too! She should have limited herself to being clueless. Once she went beyond that and began misrepresenting what others said in debate, she must have angered the moderaters. Oh, well, so much for FR's version of Tila Tequila.

Well, thanks again, I appreciate that.

The left has adopted the tactic of linking homosexuality to freedom, even going so far as to claim it's Taliban-like to get upset over homosexual propaganda being taught to elementary school kids. A small but vocal number of conservatives buy this nonsense. Usually, as someone mentioned in an earlier post, it's a conservative who has a friend or relative who's a homosexual. This clouds their opinion. Barry Goldwater voted against the 1964 Civil Rights Act because it banned racial discrimination in employment, and he didn't think the government should tell private employers who they could or could not hire. But years later, when his nephew came out as a homosexual, Goldwater sponsored a bill to force private employers to hire homosexuals.
These people are blinded to the fact that homosexuality is itself destructive. It isn't a "gay" lifestyle, but a sad one, and people trapped in it need to be led out of it. And even if they never come out of it, if it's kept in the closet they can at least try to live a normal life in public, rather than the 24/7 deal where they wear their homosexuality on their sleeve.
Homosexuals themselves know that what they do isn't normal. That's why they need constant positive reinforcement. You don't see adulterers or fornicators demanding to march in the St. Patrick's Day parade under a banner announcing their sexual conduct, but homosexuals demand exactly that. They likewise demand that all opposition be stifled and that their practices be taught to kids. Anyone with a sexual "fetish" like that who acts that way has issues, to say the least, and not healthy ones.
I have no idea how long we'll put up with this. I expect California voters to overturn the state court ruling this November, but until we reign in these rogue judges we'll always be at risk.
