The Christian Civic League of Maine's Mike Hein calls Pam's House Blend:
"a leading source of radical homosexual propaganda, anti-Christian bigotry, and radical transgender advocacy."

He is "praying that Pam Spaulding will "turn away from her wicked and sinful promotion of homosexual behavior." (CCLM's web site, 10/15/07)


Ex-gay "Christian" activist James Hartline on Pam:
"I have been mocked over and over again by ungodly and unprincipled anti-christian lesbians."
(from "Six Years In Sodom: From The Journal Of James Hartline," 9/4/2006, written from the "homosexual stronghold" of Hillcrest in San Diego).

"Pam is a 'twisted lesbian sister' and an 'embittered lesbian' of the 'self-imposed gutteral experiences of the gay ghetto.'" -- 9/5/2008



Peter LaBarbera of Americans for Truth Against Homosexuality heartily endorses the Blend, calling Pam:

A "vicious anti-Christian lesbian activist."
(Concerned Women for America's radio show [9:15], 1/25/07)

"A nutty lesbian blogger."
(MassResistance radio show [16:25], 2/3/07)


Pam's House Blend always seems to find these sick f*cks. The area of the country she is in? The home state of her wife? I know, they are everywhere. Pam just does such a great job of bringing them out into the light.

Freeper, fundie heads exploding over CA marriage ruling

by: Pam Spaulding

Thu May 15, 2008 at 14:45:00 PM EDT


UPDATE 5: Focus On The Family/CitizenLink reports Dr. James Dobson's thoughts:

Dr. James Dobson, founder and chairman of Focus on the Family, is outraged by the court's blatant disregard for marriage and the voters of California.

"The will of the people has now arrogantly been declared null and void," he said. "In so doing, the justices have undermined and endangered the basic building block of society, which has been honored and preserved in every nation on earth through most of human history."

UPDATE 4: Below the fold, a California fundie collection...Some California based religious right organizations comment.

UPDATE 3: The AFA of Pennsylvania joins in the fun below the fold.

UPDATE 2: Happy Happy Joy Joy! Here is The Peter:

How Will California Homosexual Couples Consummate their Counterfeit 'Marriages'?

JUDICIAL ACTIVISM AT ITS WORST: This will always be immoral. California's highest court has created a "fundamental" marriage right out of behavior - homosexuality - that is fundamentally wrong and destructive. At left is a homosexual male kissing scene as it appeared on the CBS soap "As the World Turns." Everywhere Americans turn - TV, media, schools, in corporations and the courts - this unhealthy and immoral behavior is being promoted

(UPDATE: Bam Bam weighs in below the fold.)

Ah, before we get to the Freepi, how about this delicious reaction from the Family Research Council's Tony Perkins, who believes civil rights should be determined at the ballot box.

It's outrageous that the court has overturned not only the historic definition of marriage, but the clear will of the people of California, as expressed in Proposition 22. said FRC President Tony Perkins. The California Supreme Court assumed the powers of a legislative body by imposing same-sex marriage. However, in 2000, the people of California spoke loudly and clearly on the value of marriage when 61 percent of voters approved Proposition 22.

The California Supreme Court has taken a jackhammer to the democratic process, and the right of the people to affect change in public policy. Four judges discarded the votes of 4,618,673 Californians who approved the states Defense of Marriage Act. Voters understand that children should not be deprived of a mother or a father, added Perkins.

I can't wait for the flying spittle from Focus on the Anus, Bam Bam of Concerned Women for America and The Peter. Right now, take a look at the swamps of Freeperland as they wail, and in one case seems to be calling for violence (big surprise).

It's below the fold.

Pam Spaulding :: Freeper, fundie heads exploding over CA marriage ruling

Actual Freeper Quotes

...and the country continues its downward spiral toward oblivion.

Caligula would be proud of this decision. What next, animals?

There is a constitutional amendment in the works for voters to vote on in November, which could overturn this ruling. But California may be too socially liberal to overturn this court order. Stay tuned.

Unfortunately I"m unable to listen to Rush, has he mentioned this? And more importantly has he commented on this?

The militant homosexualists and their communist allies have now forced us to go to the labor and expense of amending the California constitution to make it absolutely clear that marriage will not be redefined out of existence in this state.

So be it. The amendment will pass in a landslide.

Here come the polygamists over the border to win their "rights" via the courts too...just wait a couple weeks.

California is beyond hope; let the Mexicans have it

In the years past this would be a big event. National Coverage, huge battle, Major Protests......now it even bare got covered in evening news.

Disastrous turn of events. Maybe the Religious Base would get motivated now.

Doesn't look like it.  We are doomed.

As a long time California resident, I knew this disgusting day was coming. California was once a model state, the model in every respect for the other states of this country - fiscally, in education, and its politics. It was clean state, free from mega-perverison, copious numbers of illegal immigrants, and we had politicians that gave a damn about something other than their personal empowerment obtained through pandering and runaway spending.

Actually, I am surprised the vote was so close, given the runaway PC crap and liberalism that has turned California into a socialist dung heap. All this done too, without the regard for the legal nightmare that this move is going to make - as usual, ONLY LAWYERS WILL PROFIT from this. Meanwhile you will have to explain to your young children, how Mr. Jones and Mr. Smith can be man and "wife" - Actually, I am headed for San Francisco now, to marry my dog.

No, little boys and girls in public schools, that's who's next. And polygamy,.. and anything else until the word marriage has no meaning at all.

God instituted marriage way back at the "beginning". And, satan's been trying to destroy it ever sense. But, we all know (or should) who wins in the end.

This is probably the worst thing that could have happened for the liberals in this election. While it may not have the same deep impact as it did in 2004, there's no way this helps Obama or the Dems in this election and it provides fuel for such constitutional amendments in both California and Arizona and Florida that will be before the voters this year. Any conservative fuel on the fire will make the Dems worry.

As for that fruitcake judge Ronald George, you've been living in Frisco, too long, Mr. Judicial Activist. You're such a fruit.

Once again a few fruitcakes in black robes have overturned the will of the people.

I no longer wonder if their will be a revolution to save America but when.

Amazing!! You know why the gays fight so hard for "gay marriage", right? Now every school must teach that this is an alternate lifestyle included with all others....that is the main reason. Your 6 year child will now be brainwashed into thinking this is "ok"....what a sick group of people. They won't let 16 year old kids drink, smoke or drive, but they'll let or support them having sex and risk getting all sexually transmitted diseases including HIV!!

BTW, did you know that 95% of civil unions end up separated before 3 years!!! 95%!!!!!

It was inevitable. Never mind what the majority of California citizens want. The narcissistic judges follow the money showered by narcissistic gays who are so enamoured of their own bodily orifices and appendages that they crave others built exactly like themselves to play with, like toddlers. I recently read that the gay market has $60 billion in disposable income, which is why they are pandered to by politicians, media, and corporations. And you ain't seen nothin' yet, wait 'til Obama is president. Can we just find a state and secede NOW?

Any Constitutional Amendment is dead in the water because the GOP are milquetoast.

Much of "conservative" talk radio is in the back pocket of militant homo lobby due to their preponderant status in entertainment and advertising.

Now, more than ever, we need Alan Keyes for President. Before it's too late. http://alankeyes.com He's the complete Reagan conservative who has been right all along. The McCain GOP will do little more than wink at this travesty.

Things are just as sunny over at the Alliance Defense Fund:
"The government should promote and encourage strong families. The only way to make sure it does so in California is to amend the state constitution to protect marriage. That's ultimately the only avenue to ensure that no one interferes with the will of the people," said ADF Senior Counsel Glen Lavy, who argued before the court (www.telladf.org/news/story.aspx?cid=4413).

"The ruling from the court today ignores the will of the people of California who approved Proposition 22. The voters realize that defining marriage as one man and one woman is important because the government should not, by design, deny a child both a mother and father," Lavy explained. "The court's decision clearly demonstrates that marriage is not ultimately safe from tampering by activists and others in government until the voters have amended the constitution."

Let's go to Bob Adams of Alliance for Marriage (its board includes zero-sum civil rights activist Walter Fauntroy):
"In the most populous state in the Union, radical activists have convinced judges to ignore the will of the people and to follow the destructive lead of the Massachusetts courts in striking down the common sense definition of marriage," said Matt Daniels, president and founder of the Alliance for Marriage Foundation. California is now ground-zero in the Battle to Protect Marriage, and the fight in California must now be joined in the Congress.

..."Given the continuous attacks upon marriage in courts across the country, AFM's Marriage Protection Amendment is clearly the only hope for the American people to determine the future of marriage under our laws," Daniels added.

Matt Barber of Concerned Women for America bleats (via The Peter)...
Matt Barber, CWA Policy Director for Cultural Issues [Barber is on the Board of Americans For Truth], said "The California Supreme Court has engaged in the worst kind of judicial activism today, abandoning its role as an objective interpreter of the law and, instead, legislating from the bench. It's absurd to suggest that the framers of the California state constitution could have ever imagined there'd be a day when so-called 'same-sex marriage' would even be conceptualized, much less seriously considered. If anyone then had suggested the ridiculous notion, early Californians would have laughed their smocks off.

"So-called 'same-sex' marriage is counterfeit marriage. Marriage is, and has always been, between a man and a woman. We know that it's in the best interest of children to be raised with a mother and a father. To use children as guinea pigs in radical San Francisco-style social experimentation is deplorable.

"The majority of Americans recognize the fact that legitimate marriage and family are cornerstones of a healthy society. Reasonable people have had enough and are refusing to allow radical extremists to redefine marriage and family into oblivion. So-called 'same-sex marriage' is a ridiculous and oxymoronic notion that has been forced into popular lexicon by homosexual activists and their extremist left-wing allies.

"If people who engage in homosexual behavior want to dress up and play house, that's their prerogative, but we shouldn't destroy the institutions of legitimate marriage and family in order to help facilitate a counterfeit.

UPDATE 3 (8:30 PM): Oh yesss...the American Family Association of Pennsylvania (not attributing the prolific Diane Gramley, but surely she's behind this quote) has a conniption:
"The judges found there is a 'fundamental right to form a family,' where does such a statement end? How is family defined? Are families formed by incest between a father and his daughter, an uncle and niece, or by group marriages, one man three women, one women 10 men - how is a family formed under such a ludicrous court decision?" the group asked.

"These California judges have created chaos of marriage in that state and it will have ramifications across the country. There is no residency requirement in California nor do they have a Massachusetts-type law that says if your marriage is not legal in your state, you cannot marry here. The door has been opened for Pennsylvania's and all other state's Defense of Marriage Acts to be challenged. Same-sex commitment ceremonies in Philadelphia in November and State College in March have laid the groundwork for just such a challenge," the group said.

Update 4 (7:30 PM PDT):

The California colection of religious right organization comments:

- Campaign For Children And Families:

Veteran California pro-family leader Randy Thomasson, an official party in the consolidated marriage cases and president of Campaign for Children and Families, a statewide pro-family leadership organization, issued the following response to today's California Supreme Court ruling licensing homosexual 'marriages':

'On a 4-3 vote, the California Supreme Court has destroyed the civil institution of marriage between a man and a woman, and law-abiding Americans must condemn it in the strongest terms.  This arrogant judicial activism took 121 pages of contorted logic to explain and is no surprise coming from this San Francisco-based court.  By bowing down to homosexual activists and the rebel city of San Francisco, the California Supreme Court has exchanged the rule of law for the rule of unbridled power to destroy all that is good and sacred.  However, the terrible example of homosexual "weddings" should be short-lived.  This extremely bad ruling will certainly spur Californians to vote in November to overrule the judges and protect marriage licenses for a man and a woman in the California Constitution.  In the meantime, Governor Schwarzenegger should resist any temptation to sign any bill opposing the people's vote on marriage.  This terrible opinion authored by Chief Justice Ron George makes him the chief target of California voters who know that marriage is only for a man and woman. George is up for reelection in 2010.'

- The Capitol Resource Institute:

'This is a very sad day for our nation and the democratic process,' stated Karen England, executive director for Capitol Resource Institute. 'The people of California decided eight years ago that marriage in our state will be defined as between one man and one woman. Four arrogant, elitist, activist judges decided that they know better than the people how marriage should be defined.'

'It is a blow to our government system that activist judges would use the judicial system and baseless constitutional arguments to push their radical political agenda on citizens," stated Meredith Turney, legislative liaison for Capitol Resource Institute.

- Advocates Of Faith And Freedom (via Bob Unruh WingNutDaily):

The California Supreme Court today trashed society's traditional institution of marriage, opening it up for same-sex duos because retaining the historic definition "cannot properly be viewed as a compelling state interest.

..."It is certainly disappointing  that the court, in declaring a right to same-sex marriage in the California Constitution, has shown an outrageous lack of respect for a majority of California voters and ignored a long history of legal precedent supporting traditional marriage," said legal counsel Jennifer Monk of Advocates for Faith and Freedom (http://www.faith-freedom.com/), one of the organizations that worked on the case.

- the folks behind the "California Protect Marriage Act" at ProtectMarriage.com:

'The Court's rationale for its decision should prompt outrage from the majority of California's citizens,' said Ron Prentice, chairman of the ProtectMarriage.com coalition. 'The will of the people has been completely undermined by four individuals. In November, the people will have an opportunity to overrule the Court's decision by passing a constitutional amendment - and California's voters must respond by voting,' concluded Prentice.

ProtectMarriage.com is a coalition of grassroots organizations, churches and voters, formed in order to place a constitutional amendment on the November 2008 ballot. The Supreme Court's ruling coincides with the submission of 1.1 million signatures to California's 58 counties. Known as the California Marriage Protection Act, the initiative's signatures are now undergoing a review for validation. Based on the current projection of valid signatures, it appears the initiative will qualify for the ballot.

Geeee...
Gee, Pam.  You beat me to it.  I just checked one of the Freeper threads.  From http://www.freerepublic.com/fo...  one gan glean this gem from 'mak5':

And what about the right to polygamy if that is what people choose?

If the courts follow Lawrence and Goodridge, polygamy will be legalized, and within 3 years.

I know there's a Britney Spears corollary to Godwin's Law, but I really think there needs to be a polygamy corollary as well.

Polygamy is sanctioned by the Bible.  It should already be legal in these here Fundie States of America, shouldn't it?

Shocked
Shocked I am at the freepers response oh wait no I'm not. The only surprise is that there weren't more calls for violence from them. The fact that their precious bible supports polygamy seems lost to these nitwits.

I do object to your using an Orcs picture to head up the freeper comments. The Orcs may be violent cannibalistic thugs but as a group they are more intelligent and better adjusted then the average freeper. The continued use of their picture is a slander on all Orcs.


Ha!
Caligula would be proud of this decision. What next, animals?

Clearly s/he's addressing the rest of the Freepi, since I can't imagine what other group of individuals s/he might be referring to as "animals".

On a more serious note: No, not animals, you twit. Fire hydrants.

Blogwhoring @ http://indigestible.nightwares.com/


Apparently
Conservative, Straight, Republican types just cannot tell the difference between people and animals, so it seems quite plausible for them that animals would be next.

For my own self, at home I have a cat, and a partner.  I've never had trouble telling the difference, to me, it's quite obvious.

Perhaps that's why I don't fit in with the Freepers.

"race, taste. and History finally overcome....and you ain't there"
by Tony Kushner


language
Of course, as always, these comments are disturbing and seem to be written by people who are illiterate. I'm especially interested in how the term "homosexualist" came to be. Is this merely a word for someone gay and/or one of his or her allies?  

"homosexualist"
Probably a pathetic attempt to combat 'religionist' and 'christianist', which, based on all reaonable analysis of what such batshittists (now, that's one I just made up and which I freely admit is pathetic; it even looks stupid typed out, though it did feel good whilst typing it) want for this country, are both legitimate etymological derivations.

Kat

>^..^<


[ Parent ]
We were
..considering this in the last Peter thread. Dagon suggested that their use of it comes from the book "The Pink Triangle", and I think he's right, because the term shows up all over neo-nazi sites.

I believe
It came from the show "Little Britain".  Daffyd, the only gay in the village, is described as a homosexualist:


[ Parent ]
It's a lot older than that
It dates at least back to Anita Bryant's anti-gay crusades in the late 1970s. Regardless of where it came from, it's always a sign that the person saying it has an unbalanced mind.

[ Parent ]
This discussion
...took place in The Peter thread of two days ago, as I mentioned. Lev determined the original origin, which was pre-WWII. Then Dagon suggested that the most likely source for where these nuts adopted the term from, (not it's actual origin,) was "The Pink Triangle", a piece of hate literature from the late 1990's, adopted by Neo-Nazi and white-pride groups. A quick search revealed "homosexualist" as a common usage all over the place on neo-nazi websites, some of which Peter has recently been connected with. (Ted Pike.)
A good thing to remember when you see these freaks use it. It either shows what they've been reading or who they are speaking to.

..er
..the point being, the book shows it was also a commonly used Nazi term. Seeing as these groups (extreme fundamentalists and  KKK types,) have always overlapped, it seems like the most likely migration point, even for Bryant. Sorry, I should have had my coffee first.

Regardless of where it came from, it's always a sign that the person saying it has an unbalanced mind.

Exactly.

Party led by an Adulterer
Is now going on and on about the "sanctity" of marriage. I bet the first Mrs. McCain, the one who stuck by the Senator during that whole horrible POW ordeal, thought her marriage was sacred too. Sucks for her that Cindy "I'm rich and you can't tell me what to do" McCain decided her husband was up for grabs.  

I'm Wondering
if maybe the first Mrs. McCain is thanking Ms. Cindy for taking him off her hands. Considering his temper, I would be.

There is just so many things wrong with this rant that it is so difficult to decide where to begin contradicting these idiots.

I guess I'll just leave it with:

"If people who engage in homosexual behavior want to dress up and play house, that's their prerogative, but we shouldn't destroy the institutions of legitimate marriage and family in order to help facilitate a counterfeit.

Well if working a full time job to pay a mortgage and feed my family is considered "playing house" then I guess I'll play like everyone else. But they are right "They" shouldn't destroy the institution of legitimate marriage and family by being caught driving drunk, and meeting mistresses, and soliciting sex in the mensroom, and getting divorced, and battering their spouses, and disowning their children for being LGBT.

Peter's Focus
Given the locker-room humor meaning of his name, it really comes as no surprize that Peter's focus in all of this is on the physical acts of sexual intimacy:
"How Will California Homosexual Couples Consummate their Counterfeit 'Marriages'? "

He's asking how gay and lesbian couples will have sex.  For all his visits to adult books stores and leather/s&m events, he ought to know by now, so it looks like he is trying to titilate himself at this point.  Generally, such an persistent, invasive interest in how other people have sex is considered, well, perverse.  

It just is not healthy to be so obsessively interested in how other people have sex.  How ironic that someone claiming to be Christian has made a living as an extreme voyeur.


Ironic?
How ironic that someone claiming to be Christian has made a living as an extreme voyeur.
I thought he was becoming more iconic of extreme voyeursism than ironic. Paint his face different colours, and he'd be Marilyn Monroe a la Andy Warhol.

Was just
talking to teac via emails about the ruling:

Re: California- it's a START. Now to get heteros to realize that it's not a matter of "allowing" gay and lesbian marriages- it's a matter of what is right. Frankly, combating the bigotry and straight-up stupidity is exhausting, but until everyone who wants to marry can do so, legally and recognized everywhere, to a degree I feel all hetero marriage, including my own, is tainted with an unfair privilege.

A few years ago, I started talking to my daughter one day about the issue. Was driving her to school, listening to the news, and she asked what the story was about. So when I explained, her first immediate 11 yr old reaction was, "Ewww!" So I asked her why that was and she didn't have an answer.

So I took it farther and asked her to reverse the situation- what if her family of a male and a female parent was considered "Ewwww!" or not recognized as legal? It instantly "clicked" for her- she was upset, angry, and declared that that wouldn't be fair! Ever since, she has been more aware while watching/listening to the news, has asked us more questions, and helped us in 2006 at the ME Democratic HQ in Augusta- looking forward to this year.

If a child can understand this, why the hell can't the "adults"???

What do you think about the court decision in California that allows same-sex couples to marry?   * 33424 responses  

1. It's about time. Gay and lesbian couples should be allowed to establish long-term relationships and have equal treatment under law.
49%

2. Don't think so. I'm with the measure under way in California to restrict marriage to members of the opposite sex.
48%  

3. Thanks, but I'll pass. Not too sure on this one.
2.3%

Should I be ashamed of myself?
I have been reading the comments by the anti-gay industry regarding the ruling and have been laughing my head off.

I'm not gloating but their hysteria and hyperbole are funny.

I think Peter wins the prize though.  


When this issue ...
... first arose, and the haters started with their BS, I was first bemused, then seriously pissed, then sort of resigned. But now, this is simply hilarious! I haven't belly laughed like this in years! What will they come up with next?

Don't like what is going on in California...then leave!

Like Tony Perkins knows what a "democratic process" is.

Voters understand that children should not be deprived of a mother or a father, added Perkins.

Voters should also understand that children should not deprived of their Barbie dolls, Hot Wheels, Xbox 360, GI Joes, Cabbage Patch Kids, and Harry Potter crap.

JUDICIAL ACTIVISM AT ITS WORST: This will always be immoral. California's highest court has created a "fundamental" marriage right out of behavior - homosexuality - that is fundamentally wrong and destructive. At left is a homosexual male kissing scene as it appeared on the CBS soap "As the World Turns." Everywhere Americans turn - TV, media, schools, in corporations and the courts - this unhealthy and immoral behavior is being promoted

1. SaltPeter is playing the "judicial activist" card.  If it wasn't for the "judicial activists", then the Civil Rights Movement that he doesn't want to compare to the GLBT movement would not proceed.

2. I thought fundie bigotry from people like the SaltPeter was wrong, destructive, unhealthy, and immoral.

3. SaltPeter's job is probably sitting around, watching soaps, and vegitate along with Brent Bozell


What a surprise...
The Peter posted a pic of two men kissing...so he can look at it for hours on end.

If I obsessed about straight people to the extent The Peter obsesses about gay men...well...I think I'd have to turn in the toaster oven. (Which I'm still waiting for, btw....does it come in a u-haul?)


yup
notice how hot and young they are?  

The gays stole my lunch money

[ Parent ]
Yeah...I suppose...
They're boys, though. (Not that there's anything wrong with that...)

Hahaha....the "counterfeit marriages" ruse. . .
as if Republicans (and especially "religious" conservatives) haven't been participating in counterfeit marriages for years. . .and Petey and BamBam don't think a thing about it. Why, after all, all those counterfeit marriages...you know, for money, for fame, for security. . .are just A-0K with God and the fundie crowd. Why they even love the idea of counterfeit marriages of gay men with someone of the opposite sex, just to puh-lease their God. Can't be much that is more "counterfeit" than that con-artist, con-servative-encouraged charade.

Maybe we need a constitutional amendment defining marriage as an ACTIVE relationship between two consenting adults - but then that might destroy a good proportion of Republican "families". . .who, after all, are surely still teaching their children that babies are delivered by the stork and arrive at their doorstep.  


Why is it...
that every time I see a picture of Tony Perkins I hear a pinging noise?

Isn't it funny?
That most all these people ignore the fact that the Legislature TWICE approved Same-sex marriage only to be vetoed by the governor.

I'm willing to bet that the GOP orchestrated it so that court would decide and allow this kind of screeching to occur. They know they can't stop the wheels of change, but they can dang sure use it to sow fear amongst the populous.

Okay, I'll take my tin foil hat off now.

Today, let us celebrate!


Not funny, rather serious actually...
The "will of the people" through their elected representatives is exactly what the right is always screaming about...it has to be legislated, not done by "judicial activists"...

But in California, just to be different, the Governator would not sign the legislation duly passed by the representatives of the people, and of all insane positions, said that he would wait for the judicial decision!  Thankfully, it came down according to legitimate Constitutional principles, and Arnold has taken a reasonable position with regard to the decision.

It is highly suspect in a democracy that respects minority rights that a Constitution can be altered, in theory again and again, but a popular vote.  As a native Californian, I have never been completely comfortable with the whole initiative process, and in this era, it is a massive mess.  

At any rate, California will define the future of gay marriage, hooray for this decision, and choke on it, you right wing nutjobs!  The more of their heads actually explode, the better our society will be.

They are pissed
All I can say is ... HALLELUYAH!

The Lord sure does work in mysterious ways.

Meanwhile, cute guys they show kissing.  More positive images for us!

:-)  :-)  :-)


I love it
When they get so worked up they soil themselves.

When all else fails?
It would be a serious mistake to "vote from the rooftops"  --  given that The Constitution and the Bill of Rights still apply  --  y'all are not the only folks who have weapons for self defense.

Some of us nasty queers will shoot back.

Defense of our rights, our lives, has now become necessary.  It might not be what we want to do, but it might be what we have to do.

Support the entire Bill of Rights, including the Second Amendment  


absolutely
If straight folks knew the extent of the Pink Pistol clubs which multiplied through the country under Cheney/Bush era, they wouldn't be threatening us with guns.

You never know which little fey boy or tom boy would pop you in a heartbeat.

and we have
all of those Marines and Special Forces Gays and Lesbians that they tossed out under DADT...why, we could have our own militia. In fact, keep on the government, Peter, to get the gays out so they can join up...

Not only that, Most transgendered people I know
  have spent time in the military and had weapons training.  I know I did.  But not only that, I was a member of a gun club for many years.  Just think about the numbers.

 I am sure there would be an incredible number if we all banded together.

If I make sense? it was quite by accident.


[ Parent ]
Yes, why?
First - I can't believe that I read approx. 75% of those comments ... however: seems me like there is a consensual solution:
Can we just find a state and secede NOW?

Yes, could you please?  Asap?  How can I support that good cause?  Where do I send the check?

The way to sell this issue is simple
Get 25 of the sexiest lipstick lesbian couples to sign up the first day licenses are available. Het women by and large, don't have the "ick" factor to be a problem, it's het men that need to be won over. So drag queens, and leather daddies please wait for day three, when the media circus dies away from the court house to get yourselves hitched.

Perkins argument is ignorance...
The US Constitution and basically all of the state constitutions do not in any way imply that the majority should have the ability to run roughshod over and/or DECIDE the rights of a minority -- that is not, at all, the way things have worked in the law -- ever since slavery was overturned.
Quite the opposite, really and in every regard. Perkins screed sounds like the sour grapes of a vengeful oppressor.

Unfortunately for bigots, all of these constitutions include statements usually within their preambles that ascribe the precepts contained to all persons equally -- it's just hard to get past that one.  Sure you can do it for a few hundred years, but the effort becomes immense once 60% of the public is for a thing.


The Peter needs help ASAP
  The headline of AFTAH,
How Will California Homosexual Couples Consummate their Counterfeit 'Marriages'?

 Yeppers, right to the SEX.  He is obsessed with gay sex!

 This Peter needs Help ASAP.  I wonder if he will skip the IML in Chicago this year to be on the ground in Cali

If I make sense? it was quite by accident.


Petey mis IML?????????
Bite your tongue! That's the highlight of his life!

[ Parent ]
Pete simply wants
the video.

Peter LaB.
Does anyone else find it strange that he is a member of Concerned Women of America, does this mean he self-defines as a woman?

(I hope not after the rubbish he spouts about Trans people...)


I love the way
the fundies are freaking out over the  supreme court's decision and bleating that the will of the people (referring to prop 22) is being over-turned.  In scenario would the tables not be turned if the people had voted to legalize abortion and then the supreme court overturned it? I'll bet the  fundies no doubt would celebrated the decision. Even though of course the "will of the people" have been cast aside.

Hey Freeper, just go to Iraq,
  Why look for a State to move to and secede, as you did say
Can we just find a state and secede NOW?

 Just think about it, the guy you support, McCain, says it is safe there.  You also support McCain who wants to occupy Iraq for 100 years, well, go occupy it.

 Just think, if enough of you freeper go occupy it, then you can vote for McCain in fixed and rigged election and noone will care as you all know what is best for other countries and what religion should be taught.  Hell, you freeper could write a new constitution there to reflect the bible.  Your hero of today, GW Bush has already removed the WMDs from there so you wont have to worry about those.  You can impliment the enviromental policies you want without worrying about us enviromentalist getting in your way.  I am sure the NRA would love to support you owning automatic and assult weapons of your choice without worrying about gun laws.

 Speaking of writing a new constitution there, you could write it so clear that no interpratation is needed so you wont have the need for activist judges.

   

If I make sense? it was quite by accident.


And as an added bonus
They already treat gays in the Freeper-approved manner.
I would buy any one of them a one-way ticket provided they never return.

One of the best things in all of right wingnuttery is the fact that the vast majority of public comment from the Concerned "Women" for America comes from men!  In their own twisted way, they are embracing the LGBT agenda...gotta love it!
