Conservatives Use Gay Union as Rallying Cry

You know, America now has troops deployed to two active combat zones, and is battling another slippery opponent in the war on terrorism. The economy is in the midst of a jobless recovery, the deficeit is soaring and the dollar is sinking.

And these idiots are worried about the collaspe of Western civilization from two guys or two girls saying "I do." And they want a cconstitutional amendment to prevent that from happening.

What happened to conservative concerns about the Federal Government running every little detail of peoples lives? What happened to their support for the notion that this is a Federal system of 50 soverign States?

I smell politics afoot. I sense a great urge for a distraction from the real and pressing issues we face in the first decade of the 21st century. I think someone needs a priority adjustment.

Christian conservative leaders say the campaign for an amendment blocking gay marriage is helping revitalize their movement.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
