Besides stoning, what do the right wing holier-than-thou
Christian Coalition and bible thumping Republicans intend to provide as the penalty for gay marriage? Have they proposed anything else yet?

3. A little old fashioned Night Riding?
These Repugs are just ITCHING to revive the 1940s South in whatever way they can.

Only now, we are ALL going to be their "African-Americans".

Be ready. Don't be caught by surprise like a German Jew in 1938. We see it coming. Take steps.

4. Jail time, probably.
More people in prison = more cheap labor = more capital with which to feed their almighty $God$.

11. How sad it all is...
Black and minorities get jail time and slave labor while white collar criminals go free (with a little slap on the wrist for state's evidence).

I'd like to see Ken Lay do some laundry or paint some road signs. The Texas prison system has been abusing prisoners for years. Good to get a taste of their own "be tough on criminals laws".

12. Thanks for this link...
The Ethics Committee in Congress has allowed this to go too far. It is calling for a theocracy not a democracy.

6. Homophobics want total
destruction of gays. If anyone thinks that they are only concerned with marriage, you are mistaken.

7. Some gossip I've heard
from a freeper message board "give them marriage licenses and give us hunting licenses"

Also, a mayor in NY is being indicted on misdemeanor charges for performing gay marriage ceremonies. . .

13. I fear that you are right.
I was reading the latest Advocate magazine tonight. There was a blurb from a Belgium Roman Catholic cardinal. The cardinal thinks most gays and lesbians are not really gay at all, they're just "perverts."

The 80 year old close friend of the pope said he was prepared to "sign here in my blood" that only 5% to 10% of self-identified gays and lesbians are actually gay.

His name is Gustaaf Joos.

8. On an NPR call-in show today at lunch time a very young girl called
in regarding gay marriage. She said gays had caused all the gender identity problems we are having. Huh? So much ignorance...

9. Didn't some medieval societies snip the men turning them into eunuchs?
No one cared about the women. The men were free to have their way with them no matter how much a lesbian wife might hate them.

14. For the answer, I have ventured into the absolute heart of darkness
Edited on Wed Mar-03-04 09:30 PM by kayell
the heart of the Christian Reconstructionist movement - The Chalcedon Foundation. These are some deeply twisted and very, very frightening people. I am undoubtedly going to have nightmares tonight.

Here is a small snip from one of their essays on homosexuality.
http://www.chalcedon.edu/articles/0308/030812marc.shtml
---------------------------
From this discussion we can see that, according to the teaching of the Torah and following the metaphysical, moral and judicial definitions provided by the law of Israel, this sin, this metaphysical disorder, this moral and social disorder which is the nature of homosexuality, merits the death penalty; that it will lead the nations who tolerate it to extinction for the very soil will spew them forth; that it is a horror, an abomination in the eyes of God; and, finally, that it is a confusion which sets the very order of nature topsy-turvy, muddling and disrupting the creational categories themselves. It is this last aspect that led Francis Schaeffer to characterise homosexuality (as is the case also for feminism) as being above all an intellectual, a philosophical disorder. He clearly perceived that this moral perversion is first of all a perversion in thinking, a confusion of terms, a categorical incoherence, a disorder of the mind with disastrous consequences. The homosexual plague is the rotten fruit of the whole of modern philosophy: (and more)

---------------------
If anyone has the fortitude to wade through the mire of this site, I can guaruntee that you will find incredible amounts of filth and horror and complete insanity. Filth and horror and insanity that apparently has infected major portions of our govt. I'm going off for a couple of dozen hot baths and then the promised nightmares. Ugh.
