VIOLATING CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS? FLIP-FLOPPING?

This is not a final decision and Prop 8 will be in limbo until the Supreme Court (if it goes there) rules on same gender marriage.  It is thought the issue will eventually be solved by demographics.  We are reminded that there was a time that races could not intermarry.  Most amusing is that the people who most object are the people who want the government out of our lives. The Pew Foundation poll shows that 46% are in favor of same sex marriage.  For more on this Prop 8 issue, click here.

Another hypocritical stance are those who remain dedicated to overturning Roe vs Wade on religious principles.  They do not ask, "Whose religion?"  Does a majority share this opinion?  Not at all from general polls taken, it would seem..  It is good that Ms Hayden stepped down from her job at Susan G Komen.  Her presence has undoubtedly cost an irreparable lack of trust and respect for the Foundation which may take a long time to recover.

There is yet another hypocritical flap about PAC money used by Obama as well as the Republican Presidential  candidates.  Originally, Obama said he would not take PAC money.  However, when the money given to PACs became an obscene amount, it would have been analogous to him willing to duel with an initial agreement that they would all fight with feathers and the the rest of them changed to pistols and are calling HIM a flip-flopper for deciding to use a pistol, too.

Hypocrites should wear a big red "H" on their foreheads, IMHO

A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE REPUBLICANS AND THE DEMOCRATS

A major difference between the Republicans and the Democrats of today is that the Republican's God is not kind. He allows hatred, divisiveness and fear to keep the party moving in lock step against all attempts to shed light and reality onto its members. Some Democrats may have a God, but he is not a God for all Democrats and lets them do things like believe in equality, assume that if there are Homosexuals, they are also his people as well and Democrats have acts of kindness more easily dropped. There is a good reason for being called 'liberal'. The term speaks to Freedom of Choice for people.

It was pointed out on the Bill Maher show tonight that it was mostly religious blacks that voted down Proposition 8 in California. They were better organized and funded, backed primarily by the church (in this secular country where churches should be losing their tax-free privilege for violating the right by getting into politics.) Blacks who finally are seeing some relief from previous oppression and racism are now disallowing Gays to have equal rights. This is like a parent who was abused as a child, growing up to then abuse his/her own children. While one would think that a parent would not want their child to suffer what is within their control to stop, what was experienced by way of abuse as a child is handed down by the parent to the children. It makes the picture crystal clear in the saying 'Sometimes you are the pigeon, sometimes you are the statue.'

It was also pointed out that many Republicans still want to have Palin moved high up into the party and that 100% of the Democrats would wish for the same for her! While we were all told that the Palins wouldn't get to keep the wardrobe costing over $150,000, there seems no indication that they will be leaving Alaska and her possession as the family apparently continues to wear the clothes.

Now is the time for all the people who have been saying 'If I were in his shoes, this is what I'd do' to put their money where their mouth is and go to Obama's site and leave your 2 or more cents' worth.
