Counterfeit Marriage and its Counterfeit Movement

Will the Dems' health care Christmas Present to America be an improvement or detriment to our health care system?


In a blog entry titled "You'll want to punch them" on Queerty.com, poster "Billy Bob 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." And, "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."

Meanwhile, over at 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."

And on the Americablog.com website, "scottinsf" posted, "Trust me. I've got a big list of names of mormons and catholics (sic) that were big supporters of Prop 8. … As far as mormons and catholics ... I warn them to watch their backs."

And watch their backs they should. Here we have homosexuals both inciting and directly threatening violence against Christians and other supporters of Prop 8. This is not free speech; this is criminal activity. Imagine if Christian websites were advocating such violence against homosexuals. There'd be outrage, and rightfully so. It'd be national front-page news.

But it gets worse yet. In recent days, there have been headline-making "gay" riots marked by actual acts of violence against marriage supporters. In one instance, an elderly woman was assaulted by an angry "gay" mob. She was walking peacefully, carrying a large Styrofoam cross when she was knocked about by enraged rioters. They ripped the cross from her hands, threw it to the ground and stomped it to tiny bits. The surreal ordeal was a live-action metaphor for the "queer" rebellion against God's natural order and the hard left's not-so-thinly-veiled hatred of Christianity.

Finally, even more recently it's been reported that a group of about 30 militant homosexuals attacked the Mount Hope Church in Lansing, Mich. They reportedly pulled the fire alarm, stormed the pulpit screaming "Jesus was a homo," waved condoms, kissed one another and physically intimidated congregants in an attempt to provoke a violent reaction. Of course, the mainstream media will report on none of this. It doesn't fit the politically correct narrative. Homosexuals are the victims, you see, not the victimizers.

But good has, and will, come from it all. The left's venomous reaction to the passage of Prop 8 has showcased these people for who they truly are. It has removed the sublime mask, revealing an ugly and desperate countenance below. It has exposed the self-proclaimed agents of "tolerance" and "diversity" as the most intolerant, hateful and bigoted among us. It has revealed – as Scripture says of those trapped in homosexual sin – that they are "[given] over to a reprobate mind."

Yes, the mask is off and so are the gloves. It'll likely get worse before it gets better. But now is the time to stand firm ground. Thousands of years of history, every major world religion and uncompromising human biology have always had it right. Homosexual behavior will always be wrong and "same-sex marriage" forever a fantasy.

What God has cast asunder, let no man join together.

Not Extraordinary Rights....
But EQUAL Rights dreadnaught!

The law is not designed around your religious beliefs and must treat everyone equally.

As I said, before you know it this divisive discrimination call Prop 8 will be like a bad taste in the mouth and will go down in the history books as a VERY oppressive attempt at gaining a foothold for a government run as a theocracy! It won’t work, it will be reversed and there will come a day when the US Supreme Court will strike down any remaining laws against Marriage Equality!

It will be interesting to have another discussion with you when CA once again recognizes once and for all true Marriage Equality and an even more interesting discussion when the US Supreme Court weighs in during what I predict will be the next 4-7 years from now!


Drama Queen
"I respect your religious beliefs but you don't respect OUR RIGHTS!"

You have the same rights I have. Period / These do NOT include marriage to a same-sex specimen; therefore you aren't married. It would require an EXTRAORDINARY right to push that fraud off. You GET no extraordinary right. Just as I do, you have the right to marry a woman. Otherwise, live in your PRETEND MARRIAGE as you've been doing. Nobody cares.
