The Marriage Protection Amendment and Other Serious Silly Things

Former Republican senator John Danforth, an Episcopal priest, made some blunt and astute comments in relation to the proposed amendment the U.S. Constitution to “protect marriage”:

--“Once before, the Constitution was amended to try to deal with matters of human behavior; that was prohibition. That was such a flop that that was repealed 13 years later,” Danforth said. Referring to the marriage amendment, he added that perhaps at some point in history there was a constitutional amendment proposed that was “sillier than this one, but I don't know of one.”--

To even propose amending the Constitution to enable discrimination is contrary to the document’s raison d’être. Those proposing and backing the amendment must know that. Therefore, either they’re just plain bigots or they’re doing what they’re doing for their own self-interest and political gain. Probably all of the above.

1. bigots, self-interest and political gain. Probably all of the above.

yep.

That, and the fact that they are scared. They think the boogy man is gay and has magic powers to turn them gay too!

Backwash. seriously, there should be a law against letting them breed.

2. The fundie/cons need fear. They feed off of it & need it to survive. If...

fear were replaced with real knowledge, caring, tolerance and understanding they would have nothing left to feed off of and over time they would slowly starve to death.

What will be fascinating will be too see how many pussified Democrats just pile on, supporting the
amendment. . . .
