McCarthy rides again in Hollywood, but this time, commies are safe. Instead, anyone who supported California's Proposition 8, which opposed same-sex marriage, is blacklisted. Consider, for example, that protestors forced California Musical Theater Artistic Director Scott Eckern to resign following his $1,000 donation to the "Yes on 8" campaign, and L.A. Film Festival Director Richard Raddon committed an apparently unpardonable sin when he gave $1,500 to the campaign, a move that resulted in many members of the festival's board pressuring him into resignation.

Even L.A. cuisine must bow to the homosexual agenda. After Marjorie Christoffersen, the manager of the city's famed El Coyote restaurant -- who, incidentally, has been praised for her kindness to homosexual employees -- gave $100 to "Yes on 8," activists spent a month protesting and boycotting the restaurant, bullying Christoffersen into ending her 26-year tenure there. Never fear, though. El Coyote's managers took a stand -- on the side of the protestors, that is -- giving $10,000 to homosexual activist groups to "make up" for Christoffersen's $100 donation.

No word yet on any plans for a Hollywood documentary denouncing the blacklisting of Prop 8 supporters.

That's what Charlie Manson said.

Washington's Democrat Governor Christine Gregoire this year sanctioned the public display of a "winter solstice" sign at the state capitol sponsored by the atheistic Freedom from Religion Foundation. The sign declares that religion is "myth and superstition that hardens hearts and enslaves minds" and concludes, "may reason prevail."

Question; if you belong to the "Freedom of Religion Foundation", why would you say; "religion is myth and superstition?"

Looks to me like they should call it the "Freedom of Myth and Superstition Foundation."

In a related note a Dutch homosexual group erected a Nativity scene with two Josephs and two Marys for it's "Pink Christmas" festival. I don't have any info on the wise men or shepherds however in Kingsport, Tennessee a Nativity scene shepherd was found decapitated.

homosexuals demanding that their unions be called "marriage" isn't any where close to being on equal ground with women's suffrage or the civil rights of African Americans.

I didn't say that anywhere in my post.

the implication was there. Any time an anti-Prop 8 person mentions "equal rights" they are attempting to invoke suffrage and segregation as if the semantics of what to call a civil union are somehow equivalent.

the only people who have had their rights violated are the victims of anti-Prop 8 protest thuggery. Chief among them is the owner of the El Coyote mexican restaurant.

There was no implication there at all. It's just an assumption on your own part regarding me. It's common sense that gay marriage isn't on the same level as segregation, but that doesn't itself doesn't negate their argument.

Equal rights for what?

They (homosexuals) have every right heterosexuals have.

Questions: Why do I not have the right to marry two woman?

Why can't I marry my sister?

Why can't I marry my first cousin?

There is absolutely no reason that consenting adults shouldn't be allowed in a relationship and have the legal rights marriage gives.

Do homosexuals have a right to marriage? As far as bigamy and incest relationships as adults, that's your own prerogative. What you choose to do in the bedroom is your own business and isn't hurting anyone.

No, and they shouldn't. I still don't see how they are "suffering" though.

That wasn't the question.

Why can't three consenting adults get married?

Why can't two consenting adults, who happen to be cousins get married?

Why should gay adults being able to marry but the other two groups I mention not be allowed?

Why shouldn't they? As for the other two groups, I said in my above post that I didn't say they couldn't either.

they do, they're called civil unions. the fight over the term "marriage" is one of pure semantics.

Civil unions currently do not have the same right as marriages due to the DOMA. Even if they had the same rights, you're still the one arguing over semantics because you feel you have more of a right to a word than a homosexual.


The main point is that there isn't a single logical explination given why same-sex couples can't be married.

Let them call it merryiages, since gay and merry used to mean about the same thing.

Civil unions do not carry the same rights as marriage in the United States. I also thought we were smarter than the "separate but equal" mindset in the US.

I can't think of one logical explanation why they should.

As California voters prepare to weigh in on a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage, the Supreme Court of Connecticut took a cue from the California Supreme Court and extended the right of marriage to same-sex couples. The 4-3 ruling is little more than typical liberal legislating from the bench.


Like California, Connecticut had already enacted a civil-union statute that bestowed upon same-sex couples all of the same legal rights that marriage provides. Illustrating their keen sense of the obvious, the majority’s opinion stated in part, “It is abundantly clear that preserving the institution of marriage as a union between a man and a woman is the overriding reason why same-sex couples have been barred from marrying in this state.”

Unfortunately, however, that bit of sanity had no bearing on their eventual decision. “Interpreting our state constitutional provisions in accordance with firmly established equal protection principles leads inevitably to the conclusion that gay persons are entitled to marry the otherwise qualified same sex partner of their choice,” Justice Richard Palmer wrote in the majority opinion. “To decide otherwise would require us to apply one set of constitutional principles to gay persons and another to all others.”

Justice Peter Zarella, in the minority opinion, wrote, “The ancient definition of marriage as the union of one man and one woman has its basis in biology, not bigotry.”

He added that if that is to be changed, it should be “a decision for the legislature or the people of the state and not this court.” What a concept.

Obama's education secretary

At first glance, Arne Duncan, Chicago's top public school official, appeared to be a safe pick as Obama's education secretary. Naturally, however, Duncan's record doesn't seem to merit his elevation. In America's third-largest school district, Duncan did manage to improve graduation rates, but other statistics are disturbing, such as the fact that only 17 percent of eighth graders can read at grade level, and only 25 percent of all Chicago students scored above the national average in math.

Duncan was also instrumental in the proposal of a homosexual high school in Chicago. Furthermore, Duncan is tied to the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, Bill Ayers' brainchild for radicalizing, rather than educating, Chicago's youth. Now Bill Ayers can influence all publicly educated American children.


Finally, we find it curious that Obama thinks Duncan is worthy to be education secretary for his work in Chicago, even while the Obamas didn't dare put their children into the public school system Duncan oversees.

While I personally find homosexuality preverse and pretty much disgusting as a concept, I'm just not getting why anyone cares what two other consenting adults do in private and I for sure don't understand why anyone else cares what they call themselves, be it civil union, married, etc.

Who cares?
