Palin comes out full force for federal marriage amendment

LCRs will be in denial, they will say,,

  Bible Spice is not on the top of the ticket and it would be up to McSame to be in favor of an amendment.

If I make sense? it was quite by accident.

of course if he's six feet under

then Bible Spice clearly has the reins on this one. Thankfully, Congress wouldn't let it get anywhere, but it's good to point out that Palin is no friend to gays, no matter how the LCRs spin it.

The Vichy-ite LCR's

will be making excuses for the right til we actually get same sex marriage nationally, and then the little collaborationists will take credit for the victory, just as the Mattachines, who initially condemned the Stonewall Uprising, have written revisionist histories to give upper and middle class gay men credit for Stonewall(see Marechal Dale Carpenter Petain)

I'll give her credit

for at least being completely clear on her stance.

That said, I disagree 100% with her, will vote against her, donate against her, and never support her.

Ditto

she is 100% consistent in all of her narrow minded views (her stance against abortion for any reason but the definitive and imminent death of the mother is a prime example).  Palin has made it abundantly clear that while she will begrudgingly follow the law of the land, she (with McCain's support) is intent on ensuring the law of the land is consistent with her understanding of biblical law.

A vote for McCain-Palin is a vote to make any non-fundamentalist Christian a second class citizen.

Rumor has it that McCain is so frustrated that he is planning a Wright-Farrakhan blitz to help him with the Jewish vote.  All of McCain and Palin's nefarious associations will have to be in play.

Palin's Marriage "Issues"

I'm sure Ms. Palin is planning on advocating, in her upcoming public speeches, the shot-gun marriage of her daughter and future son-in-law as exemplary of her views on "traditional marriage that, that instrument that it's the foundation of our society is that strong family and that's based on that traditional definition of marriage". (Hard to make sense of what she said, but her intent: let's make sure we maintain the "traditional definition of marriage".) She is an embarrassment to the thinking people of this country...and imagine, only a short breath from becoming President should she and her "soul-mate" McCain burst through in the final days before the election and win!

Amen, Bro

During her disastrous series of interviews with Katie Couric, Palin said that she disagreed with Supreme Court rulings that took away powers from the states (of course, specifics alluded her).

But using her logic, or lack thereof, doesn't this take away power from the states? But I already know that things like principles, values, and beliefs don't really matter when you have a base to appease and an election to steal.

Regarding her "gay friend"...

This is one of my biggest pet peeves.  I have many family members, friends and acquaintances who think the same way.  They seem to be very progressive thinkers by the way they live and how they lovingly accept us and our kids, then they turn around and vote for some wingnut candidate.  Or, we find out that they go to some crazy right-wing church, or they let their kids join Boy Scouts.  For years I've been trying to understand this rampant hypocrisy.  

I was raised very strict Catholic.  But when I became a grown-up, I realized that the church's doctrine didn't match my moral values.  So I carefully searched for a different denomination that did reflect my values (UCC).  I have many friends who were also raised Catholic who are pro-choice, for same-sex marriage, etc. and STILL go to the Catholic church!  I don't get it!!!

I'm finding it increasingly difficult to maintain those relationships.  I lose tons of respect for anyone who can live such an inauthentic life.

Ok, I don't believe in pregnant 17 yr olds getting married

because they have the highest rate of divorce.

So, Governor, lets get a Federal Marriage Amendment that forbids marriage below the age of 20 and requires prenant teens to wait.

Oh, and while we're at it, lets have an amendment to bar fundamentalists from politics on the grounds of inflammatory positions in opposition to the constitution that they are sworn to uphold.

Couldn't leave it alone, could you?
You have to use the "gay threat" to incite the base.

Let's try this one:
I want my daughters protected, not from gays, but from "f*ckin' redneck" hockey players from backwards, cold, reactionary states.,

The result? Domestic terrorism on a huge scale

If discrimination is written into our Constitution, we could see a domestic terror movement unlike any this country has ever witnessed.

It will be just asking for it to happen.

You can't make people second-class citizens with no hope for equality without it resulting in violence.

That's how it has been throughout history. In fact, radicals have committed violent acts for much smaller causes.

We will see church bombings, kidnappings, and assassinations. I wouldn't be surprised to see suicide bombers.

I know this is a controversial topic. But, someone has to say it. Do they really want to go down this road?

Endorsing a Constitutional marriage amendment is reckless, and could result in violence and death. These fundamentalists just keep pushing the limits of decency and eventually large numbers of people are going to feel desperate enough to use extreme measures.

When you look for the bad in mankind, expecting to find it, you surely will.

We dont advocate violence

but if the Right continues to perpetrate violence against us, if their leaders incite crowds to commit those acts of violence against us, to disenfranchise us, to deny us the most basic rights and protections of American citizens, then there will in the end be another uprising on our part(except fot the LCR's, who will be decorating ammo cases for the Right wingers)

A Constitutional amendment denying our rights would take decades to overturn.

Keep in mind that they are preaching overt hatred against us now
They are commiting the most egregeous acts of violence against us now.

We have asked for equality, a request that they continue to throw back into our faces soaked in the blood of our brothers and sisters.

Sooner or later, for some members of our community, equality will no longer be enough. They will demand justice.

I am not advocating such a course. But neither am I squeamish about such a course being followed in lieu of being a statistic in their major medical theorist, Dr Paul Cameron, proposal for a final solution to the homosexual problem...yes, he did make such a suggestion, to C Everett Koop.

I am Irish. I consorted with terrorists. I was raised by my grandmother, a convicted terrorist(Easter Rising 1916, War of Independence, Irish Civil War)

I studied law in Spain. Some of my professors were survivors of the Spanish Civil War. When the Church incited violence against the Republicans in Spain, they fought back and held the Church accountable.

We on the LGBT side have been oh so gentlemanly and ladylike in our opposition. Our reward has been homes of LGBT's firebombed, Lesbians raped and beaten, a group of young Lesbians who defended themselved against a homophobe sent to jail, and about every eight days, another one of us murdered. One of us was shot down in a classroom in front of his friends.

The violence is already taking place, and all of it is being directed against us. Fritz is correct in anticipating that sooner or later, one too many of us will die....people will want justice.....

I forgot

to say again that Joe Biden is someone whom I just plain out LIKE alot; started listening to him back in the '80s, long before I knew his backstory. He just made SENSE to me. Still pinching myself that he's on the ticket...

Today a friend of mine is burying his 32 year old wife, whom I utterly admired and adored- she passed last week of cancer. He will go forward, raise her son whom he recently adopted, and "put one foot in front of the other" for awhile. And so many people in our little town, myself included, will do everything we can to help him. I promised them both that last spring, when they last came out here to my house together to gather lilacs and we talked of this day. Life does go on...

Hypocrisy at its most obvious

Conservatives don't even realize that their representatives contradict themselves with this crap. Palin is always whining about how Obama wants more government in our lives. Republicans usually want to let states decide on important laws individually. But anything tied to their warped sense of morality must be enacted on a federal level. The party of Lincoln is just a wannabe Vatican in disguise.

just posted the LCR reaction to Palin

Updated the post with this:  Rod McCullom of Rod 2.0 contacted the LCR for a reaction and here it is, from Patrick Sammon:

We disagree with Gov. Palin on this issue, but we're glad that Sen. McCain agrees with us.  The president sets the policy for the administration. Sen. McCain twice voted against the federal marriage amendment and continues to believe the states should decide this issue.

We report, you decide how lame that is.

by: Pam Spaulding @ Mon Oct 20, 2008 at 18:10:57 PM CDT

And if McCain dies, what will the LCRs say then?

One of the great fears, not unspoken either, in this campaign is the possibility of McCain's health failing and Palin becoming president.

We know how she feels about gay rights,
The LCR's know.

Just the chance of her sitting in the Oval Office should deter any LGBT from voting McCain.

But not our cute little collaborationists, not our gay Vichy-ites. They will collaborate right to the end....
