Trouble in Freep-ville.
Listen to the venom that the right has for those who oppose the FMA.

Is it me, or does it sound like this guy's out on the lunatic fringe?

I'm sending an e-condolence card to him with my sympathies for his loss. *evil laughter* :evilgrin:

1. Just Imagine How Bad He's Gonna Freak Out..
When He Hears What The Queers are Doin To The Soil...

Funniest line in that? "...since Fred Flintstone married Wilma." When was that, 1963? Call Hanna-Barbera! Ahhh, the dipshit probably thinks the Flintsones were an archaelogical documentary.

2. Dang, what a hack! Read this lead...
He goes:
"Gay marriage is the greatest moral issue of our times - but not important enough for a vote in the U.S. Senate.

That's the liberal-media-Democrats' position in a can: Campbell's Condensed Cream of Hypocrite Soup.

Dude, "the greatest moral issue of our times"? I think he's putting a bit too much straw on that rickety little cart. This is supposed to be a quickie little wedge issue--it's not enough to swing an election.
And what's this about liberal-media-Democrats? How on earth did he get the word "media" into that noun? Is Ted Kennedy the tool of known Canadian Peter Jennings... or is he saying that Dan Rather is the puppet of Barbara Boxer?

4. Jay Zuss!
doesn't he look like the KillerKlown version of a 5&dime santa klaus? & you have to be a complete fucking idiot to misquote homer simpson: "duh" isn't "doh"!

otherwise this attack-terrier for the conservatives shakes the same bone & drools the same vitriol as any other bile-aspirating, hate choked neocon hack w/a laptop. merely unremarkable.

5. For my 1000th post, my response to this twit
I have concerns about opinion piece regarding the Constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage. The idea that gay marriage is a moral issue of major importance to this nation is laughable. The idea that the state should involve itself in a matter of personal choice is worse than immoral, it is evil.

There are more important issues that stand before the United States that stand to impact every single citizen in a fundamental and burdensome manner.

1) The potential loss of democracy in a nation that withdraws the right to vote is more important.

2) The loss of representative democracy when a Supreme court appoints a president is more important.

3) The commitment of a nation to loss of life and huge financial burden for decades on basis of lies at worst and faulty intelligence at best is more important.

Additionally, the fact that a majority of Americans have an opinion about some issue does not make the opinion correct or just. A majority believed that slavery was a moral and proper institution. The mere fact that a majority favored the clearly immoral and unethical bondage of others does not change its hideous nature.

I am not a constitutional scholar, but I can only think of one amendment that was designed to take away the right of an individual to decide for themselves on matters that affect their own lives (the 18th) and that was repealed. This gay marriage ban amendment is equally unwise, except for those that cannot tolerate freedom and feel pressed to assert themselves though a government that meddles in the lives of its citizens.

I am not gay, and don't know any gays, and don't have the faintest idea why I need my government to take away the freedom of some individuals who have absolutely no impact on my life to decide for themselves on a matter that does not concern the state. I like freedom and am comfortable living in a society where the state doesn't make my lifestyle decisions for me.

Obviously you have a problem with it, and want the state to intervene to enforce your sense of what is moral. So when you picture your life had you been born in 1700, do you wonder how many slaves you might have owned?
