There's one little flaw in Rosie's "the enemy of mine enemy is my friend" theory.

You know how I hate to generalize, but I believe the black community never has, and never will, see the "straight" community (of any color) as being their enemy.

Too bad, Rosie.

Thanks to Wilbur747 for finding something indicating which way the Muslim vote went.  I should find it somewhat shocking that nobody has been able to find any actual numbers.

You assume Blacks are liberal.  Blacks have a strong conservative base, but have been duped that Democrats have their best interest at heart, so tend to vote Democrat.

Jews on the otherhand, there are conservative Jews and Liberal ones.  Jews are where they are at because they believe that Hitler was conservative.

A liberal is a liberal, damn the torpedoes.  ( Jew, White, Black, Indian, doesn't matter, Liberalism is first before anything holy or wholesome )

"While I admire your decision, which you made in a very rational and unemotional way..."

Blonde, I have to disagree with your assessment, here.  CoolShades's justification for his decision is pure emotion.  Anecdotal evidence by way of his feelings about such homosexuals as he (or she) has met and seeing "a lot of happiness" in the (decidedly biased) "news coverage of gay couples getting married" are the given reasons.  With all due respect, that's a decision based solely on feelings.

As for my own opinions on the issue, I have no problem with Prop 8.  I also do not agree with state-sanctioned marriage for homosexuals.  Marriage is and always has been the realm of religion, and "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof".  I'm of the opinion that such privileges as are granted to married couples may be extended to homosexual couples as well, so long as the people desire it to be so, but the institution of marriage is to be left alone.  If a homosexual couple wants to claim marriage, let them go find some church willing to put its name to the deed.

And if you are genuinely happy, who should ever stand in your way?

The whole argument comes down to an issue of authority. As long as we assume that we are the arbiters of right and wrong then the moral law in this and every other country will continue to decline into the abyss of depravity. Man did not create the universe and he certainly did not create himself. My vote was very simple. It was not my decision. I can do nothing in this matter that would violate the law of God and thus my vote was cast according to Leviticus 18:22 "Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination." Neither does it have anything to do whatsoever with any religious organization. The Word of God stands independent and above any religion created by man.

I know you were being sarcastic in your reply above, but I do find it instructive that the very next verse after the one I quoted above is, "Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion." Leviticus 18:23

Hi Guys; 

This is my first time posting here after lurking. I feel honored to do so.

This is what I find funny about the entire thing.

Obama became at least President-Elect with about 52% of the vote. Now, that's considered a mandate by the people... even though Bush won 51% and that was 'stolen' and people were stupid and misguided.

The liberals jumped for joy calling the voter wise, unracist, unbigoted, etc.

However, Proposition 8 passes due to people voting and well they're unhappy about that screaming bigotry, ignorance, and hate.

Boy, they're spoiled children.

I would only agree with gay marriage if they tried to make their own institutions and were blocked: their own church and their own ceremony. Look at the Church of Satanism. I would call that unconstitutional if that happened. However, they're trying to forcibly change a societal contract of which brings families together, resolves the male/female differences and matures both people, and legitamizes children without a proper argument and with emotional blackmail. I'm sure there's a reasoned case for it somewhere and I'd be open to listening to that, but all I hear is "because it's unfair!" and "You're mean!". The Left operates that way and it's our job to counteract that. Too many times they've rewritten tolerance, acceptance, working together, reaching across the aisle, etc. for their own purposes.Those are not bad words, but they've perverted them to what they want--including hatred and misuse of religion in general.

I say we take them back.
