Why Gay Marriage Is Wrong For America

Why gay marriage is "wrong".

1) Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning.

02) Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.

03) Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.

04) Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn't changed at all; women are still property, blacks still can't marry whites, and divorce is still illegal.

05) Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed; the sanctity of Britany Spears' 55-hour just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed.

06) Straight marriages are valid because they produce children. Gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn't be allowed to marry because our orphanages aren't full yet, and the world needs more children.

07) Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.

08) Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That's why we have only one religion in America.

09) Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That's why we as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children.

10) Gay marriage will change the foundation of society; we could never adapt to new social norms. Just like we haven't adapted to cars, the service-sector economy, or longer life spans.

Ab Fab the American Way

I found this at Pink is the new blog. Surely this is bound to be a disaster, but you never know.  I don't understand why the Americans have to remake everything, especially when the original was great to begin with.

Vermont Legalizes Same-Sex Marriage

Vermont has become the fourth U.S. state to legalize same-sex marriage, after a dramatic vote in its legislature Tuesday.

The House voted 100-49 — barely beating the two-thirds level needed — to override Gov. Jim Douglas's veto of a bill allowing gays and lesbians to tie the knot.

The vote followed a much easier override vote in the state Senate, which early voted 23-5 to rebuff the Republican governor's attempt to kill the bill.

Vermont was the first state to legalize civil unions for same-sex couples; it now joins Connecticut, Massachusetts and Iowa in giving gays the right to marry outright. In those three states, the courts were responsible for instituting the change by ruling on legal challenges.

America: Not A Christian Nation

At a press conference in Turkey, President Obama casually rebuked the old chestnut that the United States is a Judeo-Christian nation.

"One of the great strengths of the United States," the President said, "is ... we have a very large Christian population -- we do not consider ourselves a Christian nation or a Jewish nation or a Muslim nation. We consider ourselves a nation of citizens who are bound by ideals and a set of values."

Americas Greatest Threat?

Utah State Senator Chris Buttars recently called the LGBT community "probably the greatest threat to America...I know of." He went on to spew a series of vile insults including:

* Lesbian and gay relationships are "abominations."
* LGBT people are moving America "toward a society that has no morals."
* LGBT people will "destroy the foundation of American society."

Comments like this spread ignorance and fear – promoting an atmosphere of violence against LGBT Americans. They have no place in the discourse of our elected officials.

Please send the letter below to Sen. Michael Waddoups, President of the Utah State Senate, and call on him to condemn Sen. Buttars' remarks and censure him officially.

Smiling Jack Wants American Style Meeting

I've been sick for a couple of days, but I noticed this tidbit, courtesy of Jack Layton of the NDP. Jack wants a meeting of all party leaders to discuss the current financial crisis, now affecting markets, and banks worldwide. 

Seems to me that Jack just want to be like an American candidate and be invited to the big table. I wonder if Jack would want to be American if he was Prime Minister... I'll have to think about that while I DON'T SELL, DON'T SELL! my stocks.

Americans Moving North

Here's something you won't see often.... "The most educated immigrant group comes from the U.S..." CBC has the full story on Americans moving to Canada here.

Laura Bush bought George a parrot for his birthday.

She told Dick Cheney, "The bird is so smart! George has already taught him to mispronounce over 200 words!"

"Wow, that's pretty impressive," Cheney said. "But you realize that he just says the words.
He doesn't understand what they mean."

"That's okay," Laura replied. "Neither does the parrot."
