GOVERNMENT not RELIGIONMENT

Have you heard Christian fundamentalists believe that the First Amendment is reserved for them only?

Did you hear 2012 Presidential Candidate Rick Perry organized a Prayer Rally for fundamentalist Christians that exceeded 30,000 attendees? Far more than any event staged by the announced Republican presidential contenders?

Rick Perry has followed in the footsteps of those like Michele Bachmann, Mitt Romney, and Tim Pawlenty, and Mitch Daniels. Just another one of the Republican presidential candidates for the 2012 election to make RELIGION their number one drive and force behind their campaign to gain favor and votes.

These four have all promised and made it a top priority to ban gay marriage nationally. Even in the states that have voted it legal. Some even signed a vow stating that gay is a choice and the legal rights of gays will be revoked or further hindered.

So you four, further putting off full equality of civil liberty and human rights is your biggest goal, aside from all Tea Party candidates jumping on board and holding USA hostage so that OBAMA will agree to your terms on our debt ceiling issue we have been facing? Foreign Policy, Repairing the Economy, Social Security, Health, etc... are not your top priorities. "Protecting Families" however is a top priority, pardon my language but "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU PROTECTING THEM FROM, HUH?" With this war parents (heterosexual parents) are losing their children in a war that is not our own, families are ending up on the streets and starving because this economy has tanked so much, social security is becoming obsolete to the point these already starving families now have to take on their extended family (the grandparents) financially, and the health is ridiculous considering more than 50% of this country is obese and overweight. Your idea of protecting families will pull perfectly healthy ones apart.

The Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) has recently ended up in bankruptcy court. DOMA was enacted back in 1993 by President Bill Clinton. It has been 18 years that DOMA has been around and according to both President Bill Clinton and the architect of DOMA former Georgia Rep. Bob Barr, DOMA has done no good. In fact many of the ANTI SAME-SEX MARRIAGE supporters claim they "don't want their taxes paying for the perversions of others." Okay, so they would rather "their taxes" go to an Act that does nothing, 18 years of their taxes, and eventually go into bankruptcy? Obviously these people that support ANTI SAME-SEX MARRIAGE are not very smart with their finances, and these are the people that the Republican Presidential Candidates are trying to appeal to. So with our country being in debt to a point of almost having to claim bankruptcy itself we are going to choose someone who supports an act that has been wasting tax payers dollars for 18 years. In fact, an act that has been taking taxes from the hard working American LGBT community and funneling it into DOMA which withholds our own rights???

Recently during the Repeal of DOMA to be replaced by RFMA (respect for marriage act) which was shot down by no other than these same Republicans that have been wasting our money on it.... anyway sidetracked sorry. Recently during the repeal of DOMA former Georgia Rep. Bob Barr wrote an editorial in Los Angeles Times calling to repeal DOMA.

I've wrestled with this issue for the last several years and come to the conclusion that DOMA is not working out as planned. In testifying before Congress against a federal marriage amendment, and more recently while making my case to skeptical Libertarians as to why I was worthy of their support as their party's presidential nominee, I have concluded that DOMA is neither meeting the principles of federalism it was supposed to, nor is its impact limited to federal law.

In effect, DOMA's language reflects one-way federalism: It protects only those states that don't want to accept a same-sex marriage granted by another state. Moreover, the heterosexual definition of marriage for purposes of federal laws -- including, immigration, Social Security survivor rights and veteran's benefits -- has become a de facto club used to limit, if not thwart, the ability of a state to choose to recognize same-sex unions.

Even more so now than in 1996, I believe we need to reduce federal power over the lives of the citizenry and over the prerogatives of the states. It truly is time to get the federal government out of the marriage business. In law and policy, such decisions should be left to the people themselves.

In 2006, when then-Sen. Obama voted against the Federal Marriage Amendment, he said, "Decisions about marriage should be left to the states." He was right then; and as I have come to realize, he is right now in concluding that DOMA has to go. If one truly believes in federalism and the primacy of state government over the federal, DOMA is simply incompatible with those notions.

Moving on....

If you are going to vote for any Republican, which contrary to what this article has lead you to believe so far... I would like to. Actually, a fiscally conservative socially progressive Republican would be a breath of fresh air. Anyhow, you are going to vote for any Republican this 2012 the nom's should be either Jon Huntsman Jr. or Ron Paul.

Jon Huntsman Jr. first off has more experience with Foreign Policy than any other Republican presidential candidate, not to mention with us being financially owned by China, him working for the White House as the Ambassador to China isn't a bad attribute for his campaign to exude or his presidency if he is to gain it. China trusts him and they'll trust us. Same-sex marriage is the least of his concerns, and he endorses Civil Unions for same-sex couples, which is a start. He actually leans more towards the typical Republican voter on that subject than say someone like Mitt Romney, Mitch Daniels, Michele Bachmann, Tim Pawlenty, and Rick Perry. Jon Huntsman Jr.'s has three big hurdles to overcome to get the Presidential nomination. His work with the Obama administration being one of them, the fact that he's Mormon being another, and his acceptance of gay rights (though limited acceptance).

A BETTER CHOICE, would have to be RON PAUL, I've been wanting RON PAUL in office FOREVER!!!! You guys have no idea, his views are real, he's to the point, he's a realist not a selfish asshole. Here is a clips on his beliefs of gay marriage, if you would like to know more about RON PAUL visit his website www.RonPaul2012.com

All I am saying that if a presidential candidate wants to run this country maybe they should try by not totally distorting what the country prides itself on like liberty and justice. Nothing about discrimination is justice, nothing about Tyranny is justice. We are progressive we set the bar.
You want to save our asses in debt, here is an idea... pull all troops out of any "war" we are having. Bring our troops home. The cost of them being over seas is killing our national wallet. We have yet to have any type of major attack and have had maybe one small attempt at that on our own shores. Let us fight from our shores. I understand it is our duties to help others that can not help themselves, but what happens when we can't help ourselves who is going to save us? No one, we will not be saved... we will be owned. This will not and can not happen. Bring our troops home and watch it fix our problems....
Look its like this a friend comes to you and says, "I'm in a lot of trouble I need you to loan me $20,000," you look to your friend and say, "I'm sorry buddy, I can't help you. I don't have $20,000, if I did have it I would definitely help you, but seeing that I don't it is absolutely IMPOSSIBLE for me to help you."These other countries we are fighting wars in are our friends asking us for something we don't have, some of them aren't even asking for us, and half the time those we are helping do not want us there nor do they want our help. Lets pull our troops out and bring them home. We'll save money, get back to our financial success in NO TIME and the world will be a better place.
Anyway guys, thank you all for reading this, I love you all.
I VOTE RON PAUL 2012!

PROP 8 UPDATE! oh and some other news...

Mark your calendars, ladies and gentleman, history is in the making. Tuesday, September 06th, 2011 @ 10:00am The US Supreme Court in San Francisco will be hearing the proposed question on the prop 8 case. The question is (if you haven't been following) Do the proponents for Prop 8, or as I like to call it Prop H8, have the right to defend it when State Officials have declined to do so? Well, lets discuss exactly what that means...


When a specific party funds and creates an initiative to be placed on a ballot there are some steps they have to go through. They must write up the proposition, gain signatures (basically petition) to have the proposition recognized otherwise anyone would just put random ass laws on the bill. They also have to go through some officials themselves, once they have passed the bill on after completing all requirements including funding, the bill is then out of their hands. It moves on to the state officials, its placed on the ballot and left up to the people.

Here is a problem with the campaign they set forth before the vote to ban gay marriage in California, they lied. Not only did they use images of children without the consent of the parents (who were outraged), but they made the Proposition so confusing many people voted Yes on Prop 8 thinking it was "protecting marriage" as in keeping all marriage alive. I recently spoke with a co-worker of mine who voted yes and she said she thought she was voting for gay marriage and now that she realizes what she did she's kind of pissed and feels extremely horrible for being a contributing vote to the discrimination that is now and has been law. Misleading was inevitable considering you have these so-called Christian "Extremists" heading these campaigns.


Back to the main topic.

After, now retired, Judge Vaughn Walker declared/ruled Prop 8 as unconstitutional, ProtectMarriage.com appealed the ruling sending it straight to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. They plead their case and the 9th Circuit came to the conclusion that further clarification of initiative representation law was needed so they passed the case Perry vs. Brown (then Perry vs. Schwarzenegger) on to the US Supreme Court. In the time waiting between then and what is soon to be now (less than one month, yay) the proponents for Prop 8 appealed Judge Vaughn Walker's ruling claiming that Judge Vaughn Walker should have recused himself or at least announced that he was gay and in an 11 year relationship. The case went to Judge James Ware, Walker's successor, who ruled against the appeal. As a result proponents for Prop 8 appealed his ruling... they also requested that Walker surrenders the video recording of the case Walker presided over ruling Prop 8 as unconstitutional. They did not want these videos seen because it will clearly show how weak their case was that Vaughn Walker ruled on without bias. You can sign an open letter to Judge James Ware here @ AFER to have the video tapes from the case released to the public.

ProtectMarriage.com jumped on the appeal process at first chance, long before then Governor Schwarzenegger or Attorney General now Governor Brown declined to appeal Vaughn Walker's ruling. Later after Gov. Brown was elected into office along with now Attorney General Kamala Harris, they too both declined to appeal Walker's ruling. Being that the Gov and Attorney General of the state are both elected officials, sworn into be the voice of the people, they are to represent the people if they choose to do so against a law that is challenged, when they decline no one else should be allowed to appeal. This needed further clarification to the 3 judge panel of the 9th Circuit, ergo forwarding the case to US Supreme Court.

Prop Haters (as we will refer to Prop 8's proponents from this point on) even went before a 5 party panel in the state to have a bill voted in allowing sponsors of ballot measures to be allowed to represent the initiative once enacted upon appeal. This to me says they too know they are not allowed to and are trying to be sure they are allowed to before it got to the US Supreme Court. They were out-voted 3-2.

So these are all the desperate stops that Prop Haters have pulled:
- Appealed before the State officials even had a chance to, possibly without the right to appeal
- Requested that Judge Vaughn Walker's ruling be thrown out because he is gay
- Requested the video tapes from the November case to be never available to the public
- Requested and lost a vote to allowing anyone proposing a bill to defend it other than state officials and lost
- Appealed Judge James Ware's ruling on not tossing Walker's ruling out

Do you see a pattern here? They are doing everything they can to fight this... I mean you got to give them a little credit, they got a spark. Problem for them is, we are a blazing inferno (a flaming joke could be made, but I don't agree with that kind of humor so if you comment keep it off the comments).


With this case now going into US Supreme Court, Atty Gen. Kamala Harris submitted an Amicus Brief on the case stating in more or less words that the question is do they have a right to appeal/defend this case in the event that the State Officials failed to do so and her answer to the question is "No, they don't. " Allowing them to would, "undermine the constitutional responsibilities delegated to the Governor and Attorney General."

So this is what it all boils down to, if the US Supreme Court rules that proponents of Proposition 8 have no standing then same-sex marriage could very much become legal. First the case will be sent back to the 9th Circuit after The US Supreme Courts ruling has been made, and the 9th Circuit may question the Supreme Court more if they choose to do so. This could have been a process that took up until 2014 to be worked out. It seems now this will all be figured out in a timely manner. We should also be appreciative that US Supreme Court has made sure to hear the case first before any other. Lets hold confidence in our US Supreme Court to make the right decision.

"I don't believe that marriage is between man and woman, but between life and love." - Frank Ocean (you should all by his new album, its amazing).

(SIDE NOTE I MAY HAVE SAID THE ORIGINAL CASE WALKER PRESIDED OVER WAS BACK IN NOVEMBER I READ BACK THROUGH AND COULD NOT FIND THAT I MAY HAVE ALREADY DELETED IT BUT THAT CASE TOOK PLACE IN AUGUST OF 2010)

Respect for Marriage Act hopefully to replace DOMA

Sen. Dianne Feinstein on Tuesday announced a bill that would end the federal law that defines marriage as being between a man and a woman. Later the White House said it backed the California lawmaker's Respect for Marriage Act.

Feinstein's announcement precedes a Wednesday hearing by the Senate Judiciary Committee that will discuss repealing all three sections of 1996's Defense of Marriage Act, which says marriage is a "legal union between one man and one woman as husband and wife".

"I think eyes have opened," Feinstein told the National Press Club on Tuesday.

"More and more people across this land know people who are gay, who want to have a lasting relationship, who look at marriage as an economic agreement as well as an emotional agreement," said Feinstein, who was one of 14 senators to vote against DOMA.

"This legislation would uphold the principle that the federal government should not deny gay and lesbian couples the same rights and legal protections as straight couples," White House Press Secretary Jay Carney told reporters on behalf of President Obama, who has recently said that his stance on same-sex marriage is "evolving".

Also evolving is former New York Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani, who recently said the GOP should also move past the gay marriage debate.

"I think the Republican Party would be well advised to get the heck out of people's bedrooms and let these things get decided by states," Giuliani told Candy Crowley on Sunday on CNN's "State of the Union."

Giuliani, who says he is against same-sex marriage, sees "more harm, however, by dwelling so much on this subject of gays and lesbians and whether it's right or wrong in politics."

DOMA, which was signed into law by President Clinton, prevents legally married same-sex couples from filing joint federal income taxes while claiming certain deductions, receiving spousal benefits under Social Security, taking unpaid leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act when a loved one falls seriously ill, and obtaining the protections of the estate tax when one spouse dies and wants to leave his or her possessions to the other.

Trial: Openly Gay Student Shot and Killed in Classroom

To the right you will find a picture, Brandon McInerney, of the shooter. A now 17 year old boy, who is on trial for gunning down his openly gay classmate, 15 year-old Lawerence King in a computer lab at E. O. Green Junior High School. Brandon allegedly shot Lawerence twice, once in the back of the head and the second shot was delivered standing over Lawerence in a "coup de grace shot" as County Chief Deputy District Attorney Mike Frawley.

The two boys were in computer lab typing up papers for their English class, when Brandon fired a relative's gun at Lawerence. Lawerence was first shot in the back of the head, killing him immediately. Then Brandon stood above him allegedly and shot him one more time.

Lawerence King was openly gay and said to be very proud by other students. He was known to wear jewelry and make up and often to wear high-heeled boots with his school uniform. He was teased and bullied (but it didn't stop him). Brandon McInerny was teased and bullied because King was public about his crush on McInerny, students said.

A student and friend of King said that the day before McInerny told her that he could get a gun and to say good bye to her friend. She also noted that she had seen McInerny with a group of older boys afters school and they all had swastika tattoos.

"There were no words exchanged. He just pulled out the gun and did it," Frawley said Tuesday, "The victim didn't even see it coming."

McInerny is being tried as an adult for the crime he committed at 14, 3 years ago. Jurors heard opening statements on Tuesday, July 06th, 2011. McInerny is being charged with first-degree murder, use of a handgun, and a hate crime. Its a damn shame this ever had to happen.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is truly sad. Its another reason that segregating gays via the law or any other outlet needs to stop. I don't feel students need to be taught about gay sex by any means, by I do think they need to be taught not to hate LGBT the same way they are taught not to hate other races.

These Presidents that are actively pursuing keeping marriage as only between man and a woman are seriously damaging the youth of the United States, being one of the biggest roll models, if they are to make it into office, they are teaching the youth that LGBT citizens are second class citizens. Its not right by any means and by them no longer continuing this battle or fight to "protect marriage" we can prevent stories like the one above from ever becoming existent.

Every person in this world is responsible for the ideas that they may bring to the table that could in any way influence the youth around them. We need this world to be of peace and equality, we may never fully achieve it, but we can get as close to it as we can in this life time, it really just depends on ones self and how much effort everyone is willing to contribute. Its not hard to be a good person, you don't have to try, it doesn't take a lot of energy.

Michele Bachmann, an uneducated American Racist.

Anyone following anything Michele Bachmann has been saying lately should know that she is highly uneducated in American History... well, just highly uneducated period. Fact checking would do her more good than bad.

"...It didn't matter the color of their skin, it didn't matter their language, it didn't matter their economic status, it didn't matter if they descended from nobility, or whether they were of a higher or a lower class... it made no difference. Once you got here we are all the same."

Irish, white men, were treated completely different. Signs posted in business denying Irishmen jobs before they even went in to apply. Blacks were sold here as slaves, the Native Americans were even stabbed in the back by the founders who "came in peace".

"...we know their was slavery that was still tolerated when the nation began. We know that was an evil and it was scourge and a block and a stain upon our history. But we also know that our founding fathers that wrote those documents worked tirelessly until slavery was no more in the United States. And I think it is high time that we recognize the contribution of our forebears who worked tirelessly, men like John Quincy Adams, who would not rest until slavery was extinguished in the country."

• The constitution itself established that a slave is 3/5ths of a person.
• George Washington himself owned slaves.
• John Quincy Adams did work against slavery, but he was not a founding father. She did however imply that he was. He died years before emancipation and the Civil War.

She has said the Revolutionary War began in New Hampshire, though it had begun in Massachusetts. She confused New Hampshire history for Massachusetts history... big mistake. NH natives take their history very seriously and are proud of their home state. Whoops...

Bachmann who launched her campaign in Waterloo, Iowa, which by the way is her HOMETOWN, said to a Fox News reporter, that she was proud to be in a town that John Wayne was from, because she embodied his ideals. Only problem is that the actor John Wayne was not from Waterloo, however, the serial killer John Wayne Gacy was.

Bottom line is this, this Tea Party Joke of an American Politician does not deserve any kind of Presidential Nomination. Although if she were to get it for the Republicans, it would not be hard for Obama to claim another 4 years in the white house and maybe finally keep all his promises and lead our country down the right path.

She tries to defend marriage by glorifying or sugarcoating slavery in the past, by doing nothing other than offering up "facts" that are completely inaccurate (no surprise there) and by signing vows against Islam and Homosexuality (because those two go hand in hand). She claims she as president will not interfere with any state that votes in its own laws, yet would define marriage only as between a man and a woman and root that into the United States Constitution, which would in turn interfere with and overturn any existing marriage equality laws. Hypocrite much?

I'm really sick of this bitch. She needs to get off the podium. What's lame is Republicans will not invite Fred Karger (Republican) to any Republican Debate, mainly because he is gay. He gets his facts straight, but he's gay so he's not worth it. I believe there is a law against discrimination based on sexual orientation. I personally believe they are discriminating against him as well. Not to mention all the shady shit Mitt Romney has been pulling and HOPING to fly under the radar with isn't quite working out, due to Karger personally filing formal complaints against him seeking full investigations to all of his fraud.

No Country for Haters

Her top priorities are:

• Restore our economy and create millions of jobs
• Repeal Obamacare and its unconstitutional mandates
• Achieve deep cuts in spending to reduce America's debts
• Strengthen the family and defend marriage
• Rebuild respect for America as the shining city upon a hill.
  

Michele, you have got to be kidding me. Your first three priorities are the same priorities as everyone else running for president so kudos to being original, with an original plan, dumb. Your last two of 5 priorities completely contradict each other. The reason America isn't respected is because we are considered too arrogant.

Defending marriage and deny equal rights to everyone. Rights that you have, you don't want others to have. That's called arrogance, because you THINK, you don't KNOW, you THINK its a choice to be gay. Because YOU THOUGHT its a CHOICE, it must make you right... correct? No, its not correct you are fucking arrogant. You should be focusing on this war. Let me break it down for you.

We have been attacked ZERO times since 9/11. Terrorism has not come to our shores since that day. You want to reduce spending and save money? How about we as United States stop being so fucking arrogant and mind our own god damn business. Pull our troops out and bring them home. Defend our nation from the shore, and not go on the offense. Lets sit back and think about this, since the "WAR" started we've gone how much money into debt? TRILLIONS! That's ridiculous, the government starts cutting funding to areas of this nation where its needed like hmm, I don't know EDUCATION.

Now lets talk about MARRIAGE... if you want to defend marriage, fight divorce rates. When a heterosexual can marry 8 + different times, and a same-sex couple who has been together 30 years monogamously can not... you have a problem. You have arrogance and audacity, two of the biggest reasons why others do not respect us. Your husband, Mr. Turn Them Straight, calling us Barbaric ONLY because he FEELS he's above us... he's an asshole.

I want to know the exact day you two woke up, and said to yourself, well I could TOTALLY BE GAY and I COULD TOTALLY BE STRAIGHT... Hmmm, I choose straight. You never made a choice because it is not a choice. No person would ever put themselves in the position to be harassed, potentially harmed, or even worse beat to death? Tell you what, why don't you make the choice to wear all of your expensive jewelry and tote behind you all of your most valuable possessions and walk through Harlem, or Watts? You will get robbed, you will most likely get hurt, and if any of these attackers may know your name and who you are you may be taken as well. You wouldn't put yourself in that position now would you? Of course not. No one in their right mind (and don't fucking say we are not in ours) would put themselves in a position to struggle for their entire life.

As for changing gays back to straight... no guilt causes a person to lie and say they are no longer gay. Manipulation and scare tactics cause a person to SAY they are straight, but all they are doing is lying. You don't turn from Gay to Straight, you don't turn from Straight to Gay. You either are or your not or you are both. You might as well try to turn a black man into a white man, or a white man into a black man. Its not possible it won't happen. If someone is out it means they are telling the truth because they mustered up the testicular fortitude to come forward and risk losing everything important to them to ignorance.

NEWS FLASH MICHELE BITCHMANN... MORE THAN HALF THIS COUNTRY SUPPORTS GAYS AND GAY MARRIAGE... you want those votes? Step down, you're ridiculous. Fuckin Palin wannabe.

Presidency follows a legacy.

Abraham Lincoln said it best, "Those who deny the rights of others, deserve rights not for themselves."

The country will revolt against you in a heart beat.

I am going to re-quote Adam Kokesh for this post as well as the previous post.
"Humanity, you can fight it or you can fight for it. When we say Revolution, we say it with love."

Adam Kokesh Speaks (Speech)

This brought chills throughout my body. A young voice, a strong voice, a revolutionary voice. Thank you to Melissa L. He speaks the truth beyond measure, the conviction behind his voice is inspirational... truly this young man is a revolutionary as well as an Iraq Veteran.

"Humanity, you can fight it or fight for it. When we say Revolution, we say it with love."
