Stacey,

Your argument that the opposition to homosexual "marriage" is purely religious or Christian is simply false. Having said that, the last time I checked, people in this country were by law guaranteed freedom of speech and freedom of religion.

Homosexual radicals' constant attacks on religion, particularly Christians, and pandering to anti-Christian sentiments to gain support among non-Christians only further show the ugly face of the radical homosexual movement.

I can assure you, however, these repugnant tactics are duly noticed by individuals, religious or otherwise, who are capable of independent and critical thinking, and objectivity.

Stacey, feel free to choose as you see fit. It is no crime for you to live with another woman and pretend to be "wife and wife".

But it would be criminal -- tyranny even -- for you to insist that everyone else accept you and your partner as wife and wife, regardless of what we think and say at the ballot box. Enjoy your freedom of religion. Enjoy the freedom to live as you see fit. Please, allow your neighbors the freedom to accept or reject your choices as WE see fit. Anything less would be "shoving your morality down our throats."

Yeah, funny how the left now reads the 1st amendment. Once upon a time it meant you had freedom of the press and freedom of religion.

NOW it means, keep your damned mouth shut, if you believe in religion.

Tyrants. Easy to recognize, arent they?

"In using religion ....you go to far. "

How "American" is it to deny religious people a voice in the national conversation?

How "American" is it to demand that everyone agree with you?

"I am ashamed of the tactics used by this group."

Stacey, what tactics are you referring to? What fear tactics? What Anti-American sentiment? Just because my philosophies are different than yours I'm guilty of being Un-American? How tolerant of you.

Everyone is free to believe as they wish, and to act upon those beliefs, even to promote them. That is all guaranteed under the freedoms of the Constitution. What is not guaranteed is the right to impose those beliefs on others. In California and in Maine, the people were asked to decide the law they would live by. That is the ultimate in freedom in the arena of ideas.

It's interesting that you would categorize one entire side of the debate as tyrannical, yet the side you chose is not the side imposing their views on the rest in a protected, whether you like it or not, way.

Bias?

I am ashamed of the tactics used by this group. A lot of people are associating it with the KKK and their actions in attempting to stop the law that allowed blacks & whites to marry. The fear tactics and frankly the anti - American sentiment you voice is scary. In using religion for fear you go to far. That my friends is where you begin the downhill slide for your fight. The pilgrims fled England in part due to oppression of their religions and created a country in which everyone had a right to choose. To assume that all of America will simply believe your particular religion and your interpretation of it is the only right choice is to force other religions and other people to push back. For a lot of your opponents it isn't even about marriage rights or the use of the word, it's about freedom from the tyranny you as a group are attempting to impose on a nation built on the premise of the right to choose our own views on religion.

Idiot (above) said that "[we] are all idiots." Before the marriage victory in Maine, I was afraid that was the case. Now, I see hope. I am thrilled to see that most people can still think critically and rationally, and appreciate the devastating consequences of homosexual "marriage."

It is very encouraging to see that so many of us simply refuse to be indoctrinated by radical liberal media or bullied/bribed into submission.
