Why weren’t EqualityMD down there trying to educate them?

That is a huge conflict of interest. Polling places should be neutral and non-political.

Two churches that double as polling places are in Prince George’s. One even had a petition training on the same day as the Maryland Primary. If something shady happens in the general election, it will be at there. Is HRC going to have people be poll observers?

We are asking the ones who support gay marriage to take time off from work, drive to the polls, stand in line, and vote for something that doesn’t affect them at all. Obviously the people who think they are averting God’s wrath, preventing the downfall of western civilization, and protecting their marriages are more motivated. In the polls, the majority favor gay marriage, but in the issue is decided not by the people, not by registered voters, but by registered voters who are motivated to vote. Most likely we will lose.

They want to prevent the “redefinition” of marriage, but their hatred and their ignorance is so blind they are willing to redefine America to do it. They are in favor of the redefinition of human rights, the redefinition of representative democracy, the redefinition of the independent judiciary, and the redefinition of majority rule in a way that codifies animus and legitimizes lynchings. This is like burning the house down to prevent a fire.

If we let them redefine America, we’ll have to redefine the national anthem and the pledge of allegiance, for this will be the land of the mostly free and the sometimes brave, with liberty and justice for the people we approve of.

Someone told me that marriage is for procreation. I said, that’s right. It’s even in the Bible in Genesis 3. However, that’s the curse! Procreation became necessary because of disobedience. The original definition of marriage is in Genesis 2. It was companionship and mutual aid between equals. Obviously they are living under a curse and we are not. Jealousy does not become them.
