kind of severely sprained (jammed) two of my fingers......kind of hard to type....but have been making voice records of what I want to say. Will update in a few days.
Sorry for the delay.
Have a wonderful day,

Prop 8
Friends, it is with a heavy heart that I write this today. I am truly saddened by our country. I am saddened and outraged at the same time. I am sure the tone of this post will take a much harsher tone as I am more angered than I am saddened.
This whole deal with prop 8 is ridiculous. The fact that in CALIFORNIA most people voted the way they did is shocking. We all know how LIBERAL California is. Look at the margin of victory for Obama in California. The fact is, MOST people in the country don’t like the idea of homosexual marriage, but the issue for me is not that I don’t approve of homosexual marriage.
I simply believe that the people living in a state have the right to decide whether or not that state will support homosexual marriage or not. Florida or California should not be forced by the Federal government to recognize homosexual marriage if the people of that state by in large do not support it.
But there is a bigger problem and it is one that grates on my LAST NERVE. We are made to believe by the Gay and Lesbian world…that if we don’t agree with them, that somehow we are being “intolerant.” This word has taken on an entirely new meaning than what it would indicate. “Tolerance” does not mean you “tolerate” a view or a particular lifestyle anymore. What is now meant by “tolerance” is that you MUST not only “tolerate” but “accept as a perfectly valid” whatever it is that is in question. If you say, “I tolerate your view or lifestyle, but I still believe you are wrong.” That isn’t tolerant. You must say “I believe that there is nothing wrong with your viewpoint, and I hold that your view is as equally valid as my own view, in my opinion.”
This is not tolerance. And I also find it highly ironic and maddening that those who go around spouting “tolerance” are the most narrow-minded, pin-headed, intolerant people I’ve ever met. They absolutely will not be satisfied, will not give up, will not let up until you believe that they are right. There is no room for anything BUT their viewpoint, and if you challenge their viewpoint at all, you are intolerant.
The irony is breathtaking.
Similarly, not only am I intolerant if I disagree, I am hateful. Here is the brilliant logic: If you don’t agree with A, you hate A. You actively HATE A. So then, the only way not to HATE is to agree with A.
Ridiculous….patently absurd.
Has anyone noticed that for all the hatred that we are accused of, it is the homosexuals, the bastions of piety and love, that are the most vitriolic, hate filled people around?
I mean get this, many self identified homosexuals on a number of homosexual blogs are advocating violence against Christians and even church burnings because of prop 8.
Comments from a Queerty.com blog entry titled “You’ll Want to Punch them”……., poster “BillyBob Thornton” wrote, “… I have never considered being a violent radical extremist for our Equal Rights, But now I think maybe I should consider becoming one.” “Stenar” asked, “Can someone in CA please go burn down the Mormon temples there, PLEASE. I mean seriously. DO IT.” “Angelo Ventura,” said, “… hope they all rot in hell, those servants of a lying, corrupt devil!......
NICE…..
“Jonathan,” warned, “I’m going to give them something to be f – ing scared of. … I’m a radical who is now on a mission to make them all pay for what they’ve done.”
Ah….but really, we’re the ones filled with hate.
JoeMyGod.blogspot.com, “World O Jeff,” said, “Burn their f–ing churches to the ground, and then tax the charred timbers.” While, “Tread,” wrote, “I hope the No on 8 people have a long list and long knives.” “Joe,” stated, “I swear, I’d murder people with my bare hands this morning.”
Americablog.com Web site, “scottinsf” posted, “Trust me. I’ve got a big list of names of Mormons and catholics that were big supporters of Prop 8. … As far as Mormons and catholics … I warn them to watch their backs.”
NO…..really….we’re just abused and victimized homosexuals, we don’t hate people, why do you hate us? I mean, we HATE violence. We’re never violent to people. NO really….
Also, did you see where one man in Modesto was beaten as he was handing out 'Yes on 8' signs, and had stitches in his eye.
Aw…..that’s great! At least he didn’t experience a HATE CRIME AGAINST HIM or anything.
Other reports have come in of protesters calling for violence and murder against the people who voted no on 8. Protesters ripped a cross out of an old lady's hand, stomped on it and shouted her down as a reporter attempted to interview her. They've stolen and vandalized private property. They have disrupted church services with yelling profanities, blasphemies and throwing condoms and glitter in the air. They’ve also burned a holy text on the doorstep of a church. And since blacks voted to protect marriage by a 70-30% margin, they've resorted to calling black people "ni*****" and such.
Homosexuals claim this all because they say they are fighting for civil rights and they also have actually said in print that to deny them marriage is the same as being a racist when the civil rights movement went on.
Right….Because you know, we’ve denied the rights of gay people to vote, denied them citizenship, denied them the rights to own property, to send their kids to public schools, denied them housing, and denied access to public places….
YEAH THAT’S THE SAME!
Silly homosexuals.
